Default Do ALL 2012+ Prestige models have that round light/housing on the lower front?

I'm seeing a used car advertised as a Prestige at an out of area dealer, but it doesn't have that round light/housing in the pictures? Did some come without it or is this a case of an incorrect listing?

I believe those are the radar units for the adaptive cruise control, so presumably they only show up when you have the "driver assistance package" included -- prestige model or otherwise. (I can't recall if DAP is available on non-prestige models.)

So, bottom line, it COULD be a prestige, even w/out those.

+1 yup, you are correct. those are from the package.

the drivers assistance pkg is also included in the innovation package.

If you want to see a C7 that is Prestige without those, look at my signature image.

If that is the true picture of the car you are potentially buying, then it is definitely a Prestige model. It has the All-LED light assembly which is a Prestige only add-on option.

Thanks for all the replies. That is not a picture of the car I am looking at - instead one that showed the units I was trying to get clarity around.

Now I need to decide if $50k (+/- a thousand dollars) is reasonable for a low mileage CPO Prestige...I guess it depends on what, if any, options they have. Still waiting for that info.

Once you have Prestige, there isn't a lot of options left other than innovation, B&O radio and sport packages. You've already eliminated one, but the B&O was a large price package like inno. I'd say 50K is a good price, but not outstanding.

Best way to tell if a car is prestige or not is the body kit. There is an extra lip on the bottom of the front fascia, the flared rocker panels, or the vents on the rear bumper. There really is no angle in which you can't see if it is a prestige or not.

How'd you glue that mirror to cover the whole driver's door?
