The one feature my fully optioned out 2015 5.0 ultimate does not have. However, since I can not drive my 2015 in freezing weather due to having performance summer tires I really do not need a heated steering wheel.
I think that heated steering wheel function may apply only to the 2014 model. I may have to upgrade to a 14 I checked my 13 at home didn't find it but I have another 13 and a half production date 4/2013 that carries alot of the 2014s attributes at my uncle house am check on that one on Monday it may have it. I will keep you posted
Yeah, you'd think that newer body style would have any option the older ones have.
Cool, maybe that one has it. Just for reference in case it helps anyone to narrow down when the heated steering wheel was added my build date is Oct/14/13.
A lot of car for the money even when new. Hyundai hit a home run with the Genesis and now G80.
It was rare to see those where I live but when you did they were all ragged out, I haven't seen one in several years though.A lot of car for the money even when new. Hyundai hit a home run with the Genesis and now G80.
Hyundai luxury cars has come a long since the first luxury attempt called the XG350(actually XG300), but the latter XG350 was nicer. I actually did like that car when it first came out.
It may just depend on where it was bought new, if mine had come from a more southern state it may not have had it. It's just weird it was listed as being standard but some don't have it.
True enough. It is a Canadian car so it does come in handy.... Can't see a Florida car needing it as much.
I think you have a point there Makes sense
Heated Steering Function switch is on the lower Steering Column shroud not on the actual wheel itself So you maybe thinking about unpracticable modifications
I just seen a 2013 5.0 R Spec yesterday with 326000 miles running around like a champ No issues Owner claims he followed all maintainance logs through
I saw a few XG350 on the road when they were new and they looked OK at the time especially the few with aftermarket wheels. I actually saw a XG350 on the road recently and it seem to be driving fine with no smoking or loud noises that I could tell. The body work looked good as well.
While I'm extremely impressed with the car stock it's sad to know the potential of these cars will never see the light of day. I know hyundai/genesis never intended on selling the cars to anybody that cares about performance but the electronic and mechanical limitations are just too much. After this one wears out or I get bored with it I'll move on to something with some aftermarket. Honestly I didn't bother to research the car's aftermarket before I bought it, I just assumed a RWD 429 HP V8 car would be covered.
You may have a point there Steve Frankly Speaking I believe these R Specs were never crafted for modifications at least heavy ones Personally I am okay with that My 2013 R Spec V8 Sedan serves my purpose and passion at the moment for sure For example unlike some I will never ever change my factory rims and tire size for aftermarket rims or tire size Reason: Factory was crafted,engineered, calculated and mathematically calibrated to give me the most performance out of my R Spec quite a contrast with the aftermarket product besides the appealing looks of that aftermarket
XG350 days are a faded distant and not too much of a pleasant memory now but I think during that era is when Hyundai decided to put their foot down and invest heavily in the future spending billions
