2016 awd

[chief1645]

I like that the 2016 comes with AWD, is this always on or can it be turned off? I would like the option of when I need it on, otherwise, it being on all the time would seriously cut down the MPG. Thank for input.

Always on, although the amount of power distributed to each wheel may vary depending on driving conditions.

AWD is optional on USA versions of the 2015-16 Genesis, and standard on all Canadian versions.

Only available on the V6 model in the USA.

In "SPORT" mode, the car is essentially RWD unless the rear wheels start to slip.

Really like the AWD mode on my 2016 3.8. Handles extremely nice on curves etc etc.

no, this applies for ECO mode, for SPORT the percentage is 20/80 front/rear

Have you tried to measure MPG on the highway with ECO vs Standard Mode?
