Hyundai Genesis – Luxury From Korea

Hyundai Genesis – Luxury From Korea

Who would have known that a 4-door sedan from South Korea costing $40,000 would make such a big impression? Well, Hyundai did. The 2010 (and soon to be upgraded to the even more impressive 2011) Hyundai Genesis was a gamble for the best-known-for-economy-rides Hyundai Motors. Critics felt no vehicle from their line up was worth over $30,000, let alone $40K. But add in a 3.8 liter V6 engine a specialized Coupe version (complete with its own logo), leather interior and the most thoughtful design to come from Hyundai yet, and you have the makings of a masterpiece.

According to Consumer Guide AutosThe 2010 Hyundai Genesis offers slightly more V8 power following its introduction for the 2009 model year. Hyundai’s largest car comes in two models, 3.8 and 4.6. The 3.8 has a 290-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 engine. The 4.6 has a 385-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 engine, an increase of 10 horsepower from 2009. A 6-speed automatic is the sole transmission.

A navigation system, power rear sunshade, and power tilt and telescopic steering wheel are standard on the 4.6 and optional on the 3.8. A cooled driver seat, adaptive bi-xenon headlights, adaptive cruise control, and a rear-view camera are available on all.

Hyundai Genesis has some stiff competition from already well-established luxury sedans, including the Lexus LS, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7-Series – all of which, like Genesis, are due for model upgrades in 2010, 2011.
