For some time now, luxury has come to be associated with money; the more money you put in, the more luxury you can afford. The paradox is in place to divide the society into different segments, where you get more comfort and luxury the more you spend. The same is applied to luxury cars where car manufacturing companies have put up some of the highest-priced and even ridiculous cars known to mankind.

 

It is a widely accepted fact that the Japanese and German car manufacturing companies are the leaders in producing luxury class vehicles which are World-class and top of the line. Well, we got an alternate for if you are looking to buy a luxury sedan for yourself, which offers better value for money as well as offering premium features and specifications. Behold the Hyundai Genesis! A luxury car produced by the Korean based Hyundai which is simply great when you compare it to the German and Japanese competitors.

 

The Hyundai Genesis coupe is a premium four-door sedan produced by the Korean company, which made its debut in 2008. Hyundai set aside a staggering budget of over $500 million for its development and launched it globally as a luxury-class vehicle. Later, partly due to the success of their series, Hyundai separated Genesis into a stand-alone luxury brand, called the Genesis Motor and introduced the Hyundai Genesis G80.

 

The Hyundai Genesis 2019 offers a simple yet elegant style, a roomy cabin, and technology all around. It comes in a V6 and V8 engine variants, both using the rear-wheel-drive with a smooth eight-shift automatic transmission. The V6 features an all-wheel drive.

 

The price tag is comparatively less than the other luxury cars and brands available today, even though it offers state of the art equipment, size, interior, and power. You might argue that the Hyundai Genesis does not come to par with the more expensive options like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class or the BMW 5 series, but it does have its own class which will leave no doubt that this is a refined and luxurious sedan.

 

Hyundai Genesis Variants and Features:

The 2020 Hyundai Genesis is available in two basic models, namely the 3.8-liter V6 model and the 5.0-liter V8 model. The Hyundai Genesis coupe is a separate entity which we will not be discussing in this article. The base models come standard with 18-inch alloy wheels, HID headlights, a rearview camera, cruise control, climate control, keyless entry and push to start button, 8-inch infotainment system, a navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity to name a few. We will be discussing the features in detail in another section. The SUV Genesis 3.8 version can be availed from three different packages: Signature, Tech and Ultimate.

 

The Signature variant is packed with additional features including LED fog lights, a panoramic sunroof, parking sensors, 14-speaker surround system, ventilated front seats, and a blind spot detection system.

The Tech package builds upon the Signature variant and adds some more exciting features like adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, automatic high beams, autonomous emergency braking, leather upholstery, electronic driver seat adjustment, and an electronic parking brake.

 

The last package, as the name implies, is the ultimate package that encompasses all the features which are included in the first two modes and add an upgraded navigation system, 17-speaker digital surround sound system, a power trunk lid, and a color head-up windshield display.

 

Hyundai Genesis Specifications and Performance:

Starting with the 3.8-liter V6 we get most of the engine specifications and most of the tech. Likewise, with the vehicle sold in Australia, the 5.0 Ultimate model in America stays accessible with back wheel drive just, and switching the gears is an eight-speed automatic transmission.

 

It is a great engine, one that is best viewed as refined instead of rambunctious, as it manufactures forces easily all through the fire up go, and reacts enthusiastically – yet not manically – when the correct pedal has some additional weight applied.

 

You can scarcely hear the motor at cruising speed on light choke, however, there is a solid measure of thunder that transmits to the cockpit when you really rev up that engine. At city pace you can hear a slight burble on mid-choke, as well, yet you must be cautious with the accelerator.

 

The gearbox works admirably when it is rearranging between proportions, with smooth changes and a general skill for which gear is best for the circumstance. Yet, in case you're cruising – and that is the thing that you'd most likely need to do in a Genesis – it's an absolutely loveable blend. What is more, the suspension and directing adjustment is obviously considerably more centered around that kind of driving, as well.

 

The suspension of the Genesis 5.0 Ultimate can now and again be very poor at controlling the body of the vehicle while altering course or driving hard into a corner, with the backside ricocheting unsophisticated over knocks and tossing out the equalization of the vehicle. It pitter-patters over little irregularities like street joins and seepage channels, as well. Neither of those ride objections is an issue on the Australian vehicle, with the neighborhood group has figured out how to cause the vehicle to feel increasingly secured and extensively progressively agreeable.

 

Hyundai Genesis Review:

This is not the first time that Hyundai has produced a car worthy of consideration with value for money and something that you can buy for the long term. It is a car that is cheaper to maintain than its other luxury counterparts from BMW and Mercedes, and the parts and accessories are easily available throughout the country. What with the powerful engine and the solid suspension, the Hyundai Genesis coupe is a great buy in the price range.

 

In conclusion, we would like to add that even though the Australian variant of the vehicle is not exactly the same one as the one available in the United States which is one of the drawbacks, but that seems a little thing when you experience the lush interior fit which rivals the German beating.
