To Hyundai, the Genesis should be taken into account by the same consumers who are looking for an Infiniti M, Lexus GS, Audi A6 or even a Mercedes E class or BMW 5 series. As we see here, the aspirations of the Korean manufacturer are nothing modest and, until a couple of years, were considered utopian. To think that a Hyundai could compete against the Japanese consented or sedan German artillery was not part of the topic of conversation.
However, the perseverance of Hyundai has begun to bear fruit through a very simple strategy: making good vehicles at prices so reasonable it difficult for them to match their rivals worshipful. For some, the Genesis is not yet in the league of BMW, Mercedes or Audi. Rather, it is as a competitor surpassed Ford Taurus, Chrysler 300, Toyota Avalon or Buick La Crosse.
The reality is that no matter against who compare or compete, in our test drive the Genesis find a well balanced car. His cabin, fairly quiet, surrounded by good finishes covered mostly in very soft to the touch. The interior offers a range generous enough for five passengers to travel comfortably, although four more will enjoy the trip.
The navigation system is very easy to operate as each of their instruments and controls. The sound coming from your loudspeakers is powerful and well equalized, providing a very pleasant trip.
A power level, the Genesis version we tried riding a 3.8-liter V6 engine that sends an output of 333 horsepower and 291 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through an eight-speed transmission with an option to be operated by paddle shifters located behind the steering. In a straight line the Genesis 3.8 may exceed the mark of 0 to 60 mph in about 6 seconds.
The engine offers good power expressed shock softness and comfort, the steering is very precise and in situations where power is required to use, as when we want to pass the slower car in front, the Genesis responds with strength and character. Hyundai also offers a version with a more powerful V8 engine of 4.6 liters to generate 378 reaches horsepower with 374 pounds per linear foot of torque. For friends of speed and vertigo, the Korean brand offers a model of Hyundai Genesis with powerful 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces 429 horsepower, although this version is not as smooth to provide a much stiffer suspension.
Its silhouette outside the picture may not represent more attached to the contemporary automotive art. The design will need a little more character, especially in these times where the angular and curvilinear shapes are combined harmoniously. We realize that the street is not a catcher looks as if it is the brother of two doors.
In terms of fuel consumption, the driver of Genesis can expect levels between 19 mpg and 29 mpg. The basic price of the Hyundai Genesis suggested revolves around $ 34.200. Priced as interesting as what the car has to offer.
