Bought one. Love it. Much rather have a fully loaded newcomer than a base model high prestige brand. Just my opinion. The luxury and quality feel of it totally works for me. No regrets.

I just wish it didn’t only have the 22” wheels. That seems too much. 21” would’ve been perfect

Jodi, Did you think you would catch us off guard by posting on a Saturday? 🤔

I like it… but price is going higher and higher. Genesis is still my top choice tho but big negative is fuel efficiency too. Almost a sr doing factor for me

Pricing must be very divergent in Canada. You cannot touch any Cayenne for the price if this genesis, $15k difference minimum. I personally shopped the Cayenne but decided it was more money than I was willing to part with. I therefore ended up with the genesis over the other luxury competitors because of its design and incredible interior. BMW interior was cheap and plasticy in comparison.

Way too expensive. Should’ve topped out at 90k
