Hello everyone:

Please stay hydrated!

So the other day, heading back to the castle after a full morning of passing the pundits and errands, I came up behind a gray 5.0.

She looked like she could use a little TLC, maybe starting simply with a good wash. Then it hit me; this car had Hyundai badging, not Genesis. I’d never seen this before. Is this common? I’m guessing it’s a real early 2015, as my 2015 doesn’t have these badges.

Do tell.

Thank you.

Best.

Genesis did not become a car brand until November 2015, anything before that was a model of a Hyundai so yes, Hyundai badges. That is what my 2015 had.

Your 2015 most certainly came from the factory badged as a Hyundai Genesis Sedan. The Genesis brand only started in 2017. Until then, they (at least in the US) were all came with Hyundai badges. It is a popular thing with the 2015s and 2016s for people to order and swap the Genesis badges once those became available.
