Performance
Under the hood of the new Genesis sits a low-maintenance V-6 engine. Direct-injection technology enables the 3.8-liter engine to develop an exciting 348 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Because of the engine’s large amount of low-end torque, it doesn’t need to be revved to a high rpm. The high-powered coupe is definitely quick. According to Edmunds, the manual version can hit 60 mph in an impressive 5.3 seconds. If don’t want to shift your own gears, Hyundai also offers an eight-speed automatic transmission. While even the base model delivers razor-sharp handling, the R-Spec trim’s more aggressive suspension and limited-slip differential make it a legitimate track car.
Interior
The 2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe’s interior is designed to keep the driver engaged. In contrast to some of the other modern day sports cars, the Genesis actually provides a usable backseat. Not only will you will be rewarded with 10 cubic feet of cargo room, but the trunk also features a wide opening. Most drivers will love the comfort of the standard cloth seats. However, the R-Spec trim’s sport seats will come in handy when testing out the car’s performance capabilities. Leather upholstery gives the top-of-the-line Ultimate trim an additional touch of luxuriousness.
Features
To give buyers a lot of value for their money, Hyundai loaded the Genesis Coupe with several convenient features. By replacing the old analog display with a colorful screen, Hyundai was able to update the look of the entire cabin. Music listeners can take advantage of the six-speaker sound system. Some of the other standard goodies include satellite radio, Bluetooth technology, heated exterior mirrors, and a key-less ignition system. The higher trim levels offer additional technology, including navigation and a Blue Link telematics unit.
Safety
All models come standard with a strong braking system and a three-stage traction control system. A total of six airbags help you to remain secure at all times. If you desired enhanced stopping power, you can upgrade to a larger set of Brembo brakes. Meanwhile, the parking sensors give you a greater sense of awareness in tight spots. Parents will love the Blue Link system. They can actually set a speed limit for their teen drivers.
The 2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a world-class sports car that offers all-day comfort. Aside from its stunning driving dynamics, the coupe also has a gorgeous appearance. To see how the new Genesis Coupe performs in person, stop by your local Hyundai dealer to take a test drive.
