All-wheel drive makes a real difference when winter hits the Chicago area. Genesis of Downers Grove stocks a range of AWD crossovers and SUVs-both new Genesis models (GV70, GV80, GV80 Coupe) and pre-owned AWD options from other trusted brands.

**Why AWD matters here:** Better traction in snow and ice, more stable handling on wet roads, and greater confidence on regional highways during rough weather.

**New Genesis options:** The GV70 and GV80 are refined, responsive, and designed for all seasons. Both offer available AWD.

**Your next step:** Call (630) 598-9950 or visit our showroom to explore current AWD inventory and test drive what works best for your commute. Our team can help you understand trim levels and available features.
