My dealer put in an order for me today. Really no idea when to expect it. Could be a year, could be a month. I think like most other cars you just get put on a wait list until the model you want is available and no one else has a request put in before you. I don't think you can actually order anything, just reserve.Has anyone been able to place a bona fide order for a 2.5L model with deposit anywhere in the USA yet? Concierge and/or dealer "interest" doesn't count. I mean a real order with a delivery date. TIA. 🇺🇲
Question - are all the features and options the exact same on the 2.5T and 3.5T Sport Prestige package. I know the seat covering is slightly different. Thx!My dealer put in an order for me today.

I can't answer that, but I'm sure you can find out on the Genesis website.Question - are all the features and options the exact same on the 2.5T and 3.5T Sport Prestige package. I know the seat covering is slightly different. Thx!

There are differences between the two for sure. Currently, and I hope this changes, the 2.5T doesn’t get the HUD (available on RDX and Q5 at the same price point) or the 3D digital cluster (I can live without). And yes, the seating surfaces are different. Also, no suede headliner. Didn’t know I wanted that until I test drove the 3.5T Sport Prestige.
Normally I'd agree, but the Genesis site is so lacking in details (and hard to navigate) I'm not sure it's safe to assume. That said, I found information hidden on www.genesis.com/worldwide/en/main.html (Worldwide) that I couldn't find on genesis.com/ca/en (genesis.ca) or genesis.com/us/en so don't overlook that. Only problem is that it doesn't have the specific models/trim levels that I need, for example we don't have a "2.5 gas turbo sport package" which is the only choice other than "2.5 gas turbo" for seeing the specs. But it's better than nothing, and .ca isn't much better than nothing if you want details. Not unique to Genesis, VW.ca has no detailed specs either.I can't answer that, but I'm sure you can find out on the Genesis website.
Did they offer any incentive to take one from stock? Not a 2.5 presumably but a 3.5? AFAIK there are no 2.5 up here, not even to drive, and I wasn't thrilled by the 3.5's feel on a bumpy road (maybe that's the 40R21 tires) nor the fuel consumption. Though I suppose a couple of grand off the 3.5 would help pay for the extra gas.They had two four cylinders in stock and a whopping 27 V6 GV70’s.
I drove a base 2.5T in red. They said that they could make me a deal on it but I doubt it would be much more than maybe $1k off if I financed at 1.9% which I think anyone can get. I’m only interested in a few colors and red isn‘t one of them. Truecar is showing GV70’s going at MSRP in my area which I believe. I can’t justify spending $11k more on the V6 after driving both.Did they offer any incentive to take one from stock? Not a 2.5 presumably but a 3.5? AFAIK there are no 2.5

I know the other guy said they’re were seating differences but the ONLY differences between the 2.5 and 3.5 prestige packages is the engine size and the adjustable suspension. Only the 3.5 gets the adjustable suspension. Seating surfaces are the same. Suede inserts are also present in the 2.5L.Question - are all the features and options the exact same on the 2.5T and 3.5T Sport Prestige package. I know the seat covering is slightly different. Thx!
Little inaccurate. The 3.5 does have a prestige package. And both the 2.5 and 3.5 have the 21” wheels with the prestige package.Thanks for that. I guess they're following Hyundai brand's lead of mixing the options between the 2 countries. At least they don't reuse the names for different levels the way Subaru does sometimes.They call them trim levels here, and in the case of Genesis, they seem to correspond to packages in US.
We have 4 trim levels of 2.5T: Select, Advanced, Advanced Plus, Prestige, and 2 of 3.5T: Sport, Sport Plus. As with (say) the Hyundai Tucson, almost no (or no) options within a trim level.
Sometimes stuff is pushed down a level vs US though, e.g. only the Select has leatherette seating, everything else has some kind of leather. And that Highway Assist II is on everything, right from the Select. Only 19" on 2.5T (except 18" on Select), only 21" on 3.5T, though I guess one could splurge and just buy 21" aftermarket.
The list of 6 trim levels is here if anyone's interested: Login - Genesis at Home (you might have to give a postal code, you can use M5W 1E6 for example).
2.5 prestige has Black and vanilla beige also as interiors. The red and blue are actually almost impossible to find for the 2.5.In the US, 3.5T prestige also offers 4 different interior color combinations (black, vanilla, red, blue), while the 2.5T prestige only offer 2 (red, blue). No HUD on the 2.5T at any level.
I know the Canadian packages are somewhat different.
Interesting. I made up a spreadsheet of all the possibilities a few weeks ago, from the Build a Genesis web site and the Vanilla nor Black were available on the 2.5T Sport Prestige, only Red and Blue.2.5 prestige has Black and vanilla beige also as interiors.
