I've been using Sketch recently and they have this really nice concept of grouped objects that can be cloned.

When you make a change to the master group item it reflects the other items. Optionally you can make changes to children like text by holding CMD.

Just wondering if this is possible in illustrator?

Symbols

Create a symbol by dragging the artowrk to the Symbols panel.

Place an instance of your symbol by dragging it from the Symbols panel.

Since Illustrator CC 2015 you can now define your symbol as a Dynamic Symbol. Any changes to instances of a dynamic symbol won't be reflected in the master symbol, but any changes in the master will be reflected in any instances, which allows you to override elements without breaking the link to the symbol.
