2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan

2009 Hyundai Genesis sedan ambitious top tier luxury brands targeted but less lofty goal, though, was hardly a failure Falling Chrysler 300 went along. Genesis equipped with luxury features and convincing established German and Japanese luxury competition was not just the chassis refinement. With rear-wheel drive and a close- ly $ 40,000 price, Genesis, Hyundai has proven it can play in a new area, and a sales flop, a marketing debacle, or Hyundai was not a dynamic shame license to refine the simple fact that a better second generation Genesis original formula .

This 2015 Hyundai Genesis as the first car quickly, codenamed DHA becomes apparent that only a big deal for stable Koreans in South Korea, there are also the second attempt of the luxury market has brought us cracking. Hyundai Seoul us flew 6600 miles and Namyang R & D center in less than 10 kilometers drive limits bused us another two-and-a-half hours. Our driving impressions may be limited, but Hyundai's changing the mind-set is no lack of evidence. The new generation of cars BMW has clearly crosshairs.

Steel Good Looks

If you can get past a blunt front end, has a proper sports sedan Genesis handsome rates. The new model is 0.2 inches longer and three inches of wheelbase grew. A-pillars are largely unmoved between the wheels gives the impression of a longer bonnet, while allowing for extra stretch stylish sloping ceiling. Sonata Fluidic Sculpture design language of any link to the original, although losses us Hyundai Genesis 2.0 Fluidic Sculpture call the new style. We are not complaining. We Genesis cleaner, more fine lines and-tasteful brushed aluminum or chrome accent-you will not find in even a lick out Prefer not be resolved as it is so beautiful or Audi.


Under the skin, mild steel structures, Hyundai Genesis dr'iving a point where we highlight a wall watching the 35 mph occurs more ultra-high-strength steel. Ultra-high-strength steel in the industry of their superiority, although high for any car, the Genesis does not use aluminum for a single body panel or structural component. As a result, thin Hyundais and bottles tended by about 130 pounds compared with its predecessor Genesis dollars. New optional wheel before insertion of the traction weight and the like. HTRAC known system, developed in conjunction with the Canadian supplier Magna and an initial ratio of 40/60 front-rear torque split uses. HTRAC has a wide bandwidth and high speeds rears slip conditions at 90 percent to the front wheels or you can send up to 100 percent.

Basic Oriented

As with the outgoing model, the new Genesis 3.8-liter V-6 or 5.0-liter V-8, automatic Hyundai's home offers every option paired with an eight-speed grown. Outputs have not been confirmed, but I do not expect the current 333 and 429 horsepower ratings significant changes. As there is no engine stop-start system and the German Hyundai has no plans to offer four-cylinder diesel or, therefore, is not likely to be significantly more efficient new Genesis. This Hyundai plenty busy processing and working as a reminder to have a basic dial-up ride quality.

Bavarian glow wears off, even some tools medallion-wearing, we are going to achieve a dynamic equilibrium with the BMW if Koreans do have plenty of polishing. Engineers, a passport stamp honest gym as if it qualifies for membership in the exclusive ranks of Germany's Nürburgring Nordschleife obligatory pilgrimage notes made in the new Genesis. Our intensive test drive Hyundai has taken steps recommends, but still Genesis Audi and BMW are not a serious threat to the establishment.

But the biggest blessing for use may be lower H-point of the front seats; Genesis pilot now feels like a car instead of a crossover.

Outgoing chief complaint cornering behavior was more to do with the car more comfortable. Cause rhetorical influence over the former Genesis expansion joints and potholes were crippled with limited rear wheel travel. We engineers dampers some trunk space to reposition has been addressing this issue by sacrificing're told, but offered our driver blows no opportunity to live absorption, we'll have to wait there is provision for a longer drive.

Practice makes perfect

Hyundai There are no shortage of ambition, but will be checked boxes designed with luxury and sports experiences, engineers still can not shake the feeling that he is operating under the belief. This segment of the successful ones do a good sport sedan implemented a perfect integration and execution, I know it takes talented team. Hyundai may not yet threaten the know-how of the BMW 5-series, but this new Genesis Koreans are one step closer to their goal is exactly the kind of movement experience.
