Genesis offers each model in multiple trims-typically Standard, Mid, and Premium tiers-each adding comfort, technology, and convenience features. Choosing the right trim balances your budget with your priorities.

**How to think about trims:**
- **Start with essentials:** Which features matter most? (leather, sunroof, advanced safety tech, premium audio)
- **Compare real costs:** A higher trim's monthly payment vs. adding features later
- **Future value:** Popular trims and options retain value better
- **Test the difference:** Drive multiple trims to feel the upgrades firsthand
