Aside from badges, wheels and DRL lights differences are minor. The G80 has some updated technology

Not a lot of difference - The G80 (Ultimate) has Car Play / Android Auto w/ the 9.2" screen / Jog Wheel Nav system. Earlier ones did not. All 8" (Signature/Tech trims) have CP & AA.

2017 G80 does not come with Apple Car Play or upgraded stereo for the Ultimate. 2018 does. It also has nicer front and rear bumpers.

Thank you guys! How can i make the 2015 genesis sedan look exactly like the 2018 G80 from an exterior point of view?
Can i just change the 3 badges in the back?

You would need a new front and rear bumper. If you want to go crazy, new LED headlights. Is it worth it? Probably not. Better to just buy a 2018. I wouldn't want to make my car look like something that it isn't but that is just my personal opinion.

Badges are easy to change. Just click on the bar above for GENESIS STORE and order. Lights a bit more difficult and expensive.

I just swapped the "H" to a KDM Genesis badge on the trunk. There's so many of them running around here in Houston with just that mod, it looks perfectly normal. I think that I've only personally seen 1 or 2 that still had the "H" during the last 2 years that I've had my 2015. Those are the ones that look "weird".

Speaking of badges.... Enjoy this extremely rare gem:

The 2015 5.0 Ultimate had the adaptive suspension option. Did that carry over to the G80 or did they drop it?

Only the sport models get it. also 15 5.0 ultimate get it.

Mine has it... I used to play around with it sometimes. Does make it more aggressive, but it's never going to run down an M3 on a curvy road...

I too use it from time to time. I like the stiffer ride you get from it when in sport mode. I am happy that I have the option to do so. I want a 5.0 Ultimate in Empire State gray, with ivory interior. So I might trade for a 19 or 20, however the Adaptive Suspension keeps me in my 15 Ultimate. Just hit 40k so she is just breaking in.

The active suspension was a key selling point for me, although over the years have really only used it from time to time. It's nice to stiffen things up but the accompanying higher revs make for lower MPG. Would have been nice to decouple the two but in 2020, with such little driving, Sport mode has been used a lot.

Such a big improvement in managing body roll on any curves, even slight ones.

Wish my Empire State Grey had Ivory interior.... To be honest, I never saw that combo when I was looking. I did see a couple of Parisian Grey ones with that combo though but they were lower trim levels - I wanted all the toys.

I could not find one with that combo either. I lucked out with my 5.0, CPO Ultimate with Ivory interior. What color interior do you have Skipgen?

I have the black interior w/ dark wood... which is more like a charcoal to my eye. If it was closer to true black like my old Infiniti was, I may have taken a pass. Regardless of the deal.

Probably the tan interior, Ivory interior was only available on the Ultimate trim.

Dunno... Might have been. There was prob another reason that I didn't buy those particular cars.
