2015 or 2017 5.0?

[Kuda427]

Hello all
I'm about to pull the trigger on a Genisis 5.0
I'm currently looking at a 2015 5.0 with 20k on it
And a 2017 5.0 ultimate with 28k
On it
Is there any issues I should know about before buying?
They both look the same to me...untrained eye..lol

The 2015 had a few more problems with the head unit than the newer models. Little difference otherwise.

Head unit?
Audio?

The 2015 has the potential brake line corrosion problem, though there is a recall that should take care of that.
If they have both been treated and maintained well, then go for the 2017. Two years newer is worth more than 8K miles.
I don't think there were any real changes between 2015 and 2017, other than the radio got more reliable. 2018 has a few feature upgrades, like surround view cameras (a big plus in my opinion).

I'm looking at a 2018 also
It's the ultimate 5.0 AWD
But...it has 44k on it for $32k

Yes, radio, navigation, etc. Mine was replaced under warranty and it is very expensive. It was changed in 2016, IIRC

The 2018 has the surround camera and can use Android Auto and Apple Car Play. AWD was about $2k more when new.

But, it still has some factory warranty left...
