2015 v6 AWD vs 2016 v6 AWD??

[Hawaii 5ooohhhh]

Aloha,

I searched the forms and didn’t find the thread for this question.

Does anyone have a strong opinion when deciding to purchase between these two model years? I understand the 2015 as Amber daytime running lights (ghetto) which seem to need to be replaced four times a year due to burnout. The 2015 also lacks LED DRLs & fog lights. I believe those are the only differences. Am I missing something?

At the moment I’m having a difficult time finding a 2016 all-wheel-drive on the West Coast. I know inventory changes weekly so that may not be a problem in a few weeks. However, if either model year is Acceptable. I’ll just pick up a 2015 now.

Thank you in advance for your help. Been a long time lurker on this forum but chiming in now as it’s time to purchase.

I think that's pretty much it. Of course, one is slightly newer than the other, but otherwise, pretty much identical.

I understand the radio head unit warranty is 3/36 for the 2015 and 5/60 for the 2016.

I was under the impression that was 3/36 for both, and also for the G80s.

I DO like the model you picked up. Interesting color combo. Are you having any issues with the seats yet?

Yuck. I didn’t know that was an issue. Do you know where I can find that out for sure?

I just picked up a 2016 3.8 AWD signature a few days ago. It was between it and a 2015 3.8 AWD with the tech package. Both at the same dealer. The 2015 had lower miles and more options, the leather was all I cared about though. The warranty is indeed different between the years and that combined with the headlights made me go with the 2016.

Thanks. I bought mine as a lease return a couple of weeks ago with low mileage (18K). The seats are in perfect condition both cosmetically and functionally.

Thanks for reminding me About the warrantee difference between those two years. I keep forgetting that during my search.
