Question about build date.

[Smobien]

Can anyone shed light on the production of the 2nd gen Genesis. Has anyone figured out production numbers for the 2015-2016 with a breakdown of colors / options?

I just bought a 2015. The door panel has a build date of 2/2014. Demo car? 1st production run? Does anyone have an earlier build date?


Either way its in great shape and hope to get a lot of life out of it. Looking in the computer systems they all have the latest software on them.

From what I can find, they went into production 2-12-2014, so yours is a very early production.

Wonder if that is a good or bad thing...

I had a dealer run it through their system. Just routine maintenance.

Mine actually has the full date on the door-panel?

Huh... so it does...2/11/14

The last 6 of your VIN # will tell you the production sequence. Will be FUxxxxxx. Imagine you have a lot of zeros in yours, but if it says FU000150 or something like that, yours was the 150th built.

I figured that number would be a lot lower. That's a lot of cars to build that early on, or, my catalog is wrong. Almost all parts in the parts catalog for the 2015 Genesis have a production start date of 2/12. Some are 3/1.

I ran your VIN, and it was a Hyundai corporate car for a short time.

Yeah thats what my dealer said too. Hopefully it was treated well. I figured being a dealer car any issues would have been quickly resolved as their "show" car. Can't have something janky running around when you are trying to drum up hype for your business. *shrug*
