Adaptive cruise control, and some parts have been updated which may not be on earlier build 2018s.

I've noticed a few small changes.

Assist and sos buttons are above the mirror now, not on the stalk

The rear window defroster is white/light now...could have sworn this was black on the 18. Something is different about it that rear window though

Scrolling through the screens on the dash (tire pressure, fuel economy, offroad, etc) can be done quickly, as opposed to waiting for each screen to load before moving to the next.

There's some chrome trim on the dash and the rear usb ports that I think used to be black.

I don't think I've noticed anything else

Does the 2019 come with BSG on all motor options?
I know 2018 only had the BSG on the 2.0

I am not sure, but I remember reading that all 2019s will have the BSG. whether 3.6 or 2.0

Nope still only on the 2.0. No word on when/if it’ll make it to the 3.6

Oh, and my spare 35" KO2 rested just a bit on the bumper on the 18, but it clears it by a few millimeters on the 19. Probably the same variance could have occured from one particular 18 to another, but thought I'd mention it.

Yes, there were some issues with my 18, and the dealer replaced it. I'll have to update my profile, thanks for pointing it out.

Also, just realized the proximity key/door handles are much more responsive on my new one.

Outside of adaptive cruise I don’t see any differences. From 2018 JLUR to 2019.

Can you share details about these issues?
