SUV is massively improvements using the driving sensors that have always been so painfully obvious on the previous genesis cars.

[killramos]

Jesus. That was particularly bad.

SUV grill is massively improved with the driving sensors better integrated, the black painted box that has always been so painfully obvious on the previous genesis cars was terrible.

Here's the one I test drove. Don't mind the big grill one bit. It looks great on the road.

Looks awesome!

Yah the forward facing radar protection shield for the adaptive cruise is done very well on the SUV. It's in the centre of the bottom grille. The sedans, it's still there on the front, in the centre. My 2015 has a heavily tinted protection shield on the grille. The 2021 (and a couple previous MY's) has a clear one to give the illusion that it's all grille but you can see it fairly easily once close enough.

Neat!
I enjoyed the SavageGeese review of it on YouTube.

Saw a white GV80 yesterday. When viewed from profile, it looked like an XC90. Overall, nice looking vehicle.

That looks awesome. I'm not sure how well that color will age, but I love it.

What's the benefit of lug bolts instead of the traditional studs and nuts? First vehicle I've owned like that. Don't have much experience with that type of set up.

I put my aftermarket wheels on the passenger side front and rear to make sure they clear everything and see how they look. One thing that crossed my mind is that I might bottom the bolt out when installing the aftermarket wheel but didn't seem to. Putting a wheel on with lug bolts fucking sucks. Anything special I should be watching out for here?

Will probably take it to the local tire shop in the spring to switch the wheels so they can make sure everything is all good.

Easier to replace a bolt than a wheel stud. I use a wheel hanger when I do my tires, this is the one I have but not currently available:

Just have to be careful to know scrape the wheel on the knurling.

[killramos]

Wheel hanger is definitely the way to go.

Aside from that it’s 6 of 1 half dozen of another in my books. Definitely easier to change offsets with longer bolts with lug bolts if you are into that sort of thing.

[16hypen3sp]

Thanks for posting the wheel hanger. Looks like life will be a lot easier with that lol.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

Had no idea that was a thing. I just got really good at hanging wheels off the center bore.

Haha same.

[Buster]

Yeah, wheel hangers are a life saver.

You can even get two if your wheels dont roll to the proper orientation, lol

[realazy]

BMWs and Audis come with one in the tool kit as far as I know. They are plastic in the tool kit.

[ExtraSlow]

Wow, if I ever get classy enough to own a car that needs these, I will for sure procure these. Good life hack.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Now let's talk about changing a wheel with carbon ceramic brakes where you have to magically put a protective bag over the rotor (somehow) before removing the wheel because if the wheel touches the rotor - you'll be lighting your cigars with $10's for the rest of the fiscal year.

Me too. I just got really good at a routine of positioning myself with the wheel to ease on to the hub with a knee to hold it in place. That said I'm going to get one of these hangers just to make life easier when swapping 20+ size wheels and tires.

[blownz]

Really embarrassed/upset I had never heard of those... and I owned 4 BMW's and switched wheels many times...
