Can anyone tell me which TDV6 I have purchased?

Thanks. That clarifies it. It’s an SE TDV6

No it doesn’t, there was no TDV6 SE in 2013. There were only three diesel models, TDV6, SDV6 SE or SDV6 HSE.

Ok…now my head is starting to hurt!

According to Genesis, you have a 155Kw Lion V6 which clearly makes it a TDV6 (2015MY). All the other specs looks like the car is a standard Australian spec TDV6 without any (additional) options fitted. Enjoy it!

The other really simple test is the 'smell test'. I had a MY10 SE D4 with a DPF and the exhaust smell was very light. My current MY13.5 has no DPF and it stinks the garage out when I start it.

With the DPF my MY08 D3 didn't smell at all. No smoke in the following cars headlights when really giving it stink either. Since I slipped with the grinder it's more of a conventional Diesel. A bit whiffy on startup and I do get a bit of haze in the headlights when really giving it a poke. Minuses in reliability far outweighed the pluses however.

I though that it was the TDV6 that had no badging.


"No electric fold flat motors, no arm rests in the seats, no e diff, no amp under the drivers seat, no seat warmers or electric memory function in the seats"


As far as I'm aware, only the arm rests and seat memories were standard on the HSEs: the e-diff, seat warmers and folding mirrors were all options. Dunno about the amp.

SE had front seat arm rests, and electric non-memory drivers seat, from at least 2014 folding mirrors were also standard.

I had a grinder slip with the current D4 (non-DPF) and the centre muffler seems to have disappeared ... LOL!!! It's really whiffy when idling for more than 3 minutes, when the secondary turbo gets a lubrication cycle.
