For one the front is completely different and the rear tail lights are different, The interior seats are different and the navigation can now go full map view. You also get lane departure warning and lane keep assist standard under safety +.

In addition to what others have said, changes for the F-sport include: new wheels, different aluminum trim, Rioja red leather option rather than Cabernet, better packaging for the safety tech (Lexus Safety System+ Package rather than checking individual options), and probably small tweaks to improve refinement and address complaints from 2015.

The changes are cosmetic, mostly.

I believe this option is only available on the 16' model year.

Another change is being able to read your text/email messages, see song track playing, and other information right on the main instrument cluster, rather than having to look over at the infotainment screen. Nice feature!

You are not able to put in full map mode. You should be able to, should be a button to maximize map.

I am able to put the 2d map in full screen mode. I was wondering if the 3d map can be full screen mode too??
