  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

So, from what I’ve seen 2016 V8 only comes in one trim - ultimate, but what is bothering me is that on the photos that I’ve seen the center dashboard has a knob where the car I am purchasing doesn’t.

Would anyone be able to pinpoint which exact trim is the car I am planing on purchasing please ?

If it is a 2016, then is not a Genesis G80, it is a Hyundai Genesis Sedan. They have changed the badges on it. I do believe that Genesis Sedan could be had with a V8 without being an ultimate.

For a small fee you can get a copy of the window sticker. I used this when buying my Miata to show the packages it came with.

I am buying it from a person, not from a showroom and I do have VIN but can’t find anything online that would point to which trim I have.

KBB only seems to list a V6 for the 2016.

My 2015 Ultimate had the knob. Ultimate also had a larger screen. IIRC, it was 9 1/4" vs 8" on the lower levels.
Ultimate also had headlight washers.

You must not be in the US. In the US, to get the pano sunroof, you had to get the signature package which included ventilated seats, and your car from the picture clearly doesn’t have them yet you have a sunroof.

OP, what country are you in?

One of the many reasons I wish listing one's geographic location (at least country; preferably also county or province or city) were mandatory. It is so much more useful to know if someone is complaining about the AC (e.g.) if they are coming from Alaska or Miami.

Not an answer but I love the picture of the dash: separate hard controls for the radio and HVAC, analog clock, etc. Everything you need at your fingertips...not after three touchscreens that have taken your eyes off the road! At least from the perspective of the dash...a true driver's car.

That changes things. The knob was used for some of the electronics, such as SiriusXM radio. That is not available in your area so the head unit is different.

YES, YES, YES Exactly my suggestion also. But I have never gotten any traction to make this happen
