Since its debut inwards 2009, Hyundai's Genesis has been i of the most sensible choices available for a luxury sedan. While lacking the completely polished in addition to prestigious shape of some European sedans, the Genesis has typically to a greater extent than than made upwards for it with a really desirable blend of features in addition to powerfulness for the money. For its fully redesigned 2015 Genesis, Hyundai hopes to cement the model's house alongside the traditional choices without relying solely on the value proposition.
The 2015 Genesis is built on a novel rear-wheel-drive platform. Overall length is pretty much the same, but the wheelbase is almost 3 inches longer, which translates generally into fifty-fifty to a greater extent than legroom for raise passengers. The 2015 Genesis also gets a comprehensive interior update with revised see stack in addition to see console layouts, a larger navigation display in addition to to a greater extent than dash curves. The dial-and-button media controller inwards the see console is retained. It's non the most master copy execution, but along with increased topographic point comfort in addition to a reshaped steering wheel, it brings the Genesis on par with the luxury intangibles offered past times its German linguistic communication in addition to Japanese rivals.
The existing 311-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 in addition to 420-hp 5.0-liter V8 engines deport over in addition to maintain to ship powerfulness through an eight-speed automatic transmission. New all-wheel-drive availability (V6 only) should brand the sedan to a greater extent than appealing to shoppers inwards the snowfall belt. And piece the Genesis is non a peculiarly sporty sedan, an optional driver-adjustable Sport agency alters transmission, steering in addition to pause settings for to a greater extent than responsive in addition to aggressive driving when the mood strikes.
Hyundai has seen to it that the novel Genesis is soundless an impressive bargain. The base of operations 2015 Genesis 3.8 costs thousands less than the entry-level Cadillac CTS, for instance. You'll pay fifty-fifty to a greater extent than to larn an Audi A6 or Lexus GS 350. The pricing gap grows fifty-fifty wider when you lot start comparison the V8-powered Genesis to an as equipped BMW 5 Series or Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Of course, these are all fantastic cars in addition to you lot won't become incorrect with whatsoever of them. Yet the 2015 Hyundai Genesis is a serious luxury sedan inwards its ain right, serious plenty that its lack of a decades-long pedigree shouldn't maintain you lot from seeing it as an equal to the premium-car establishment.
EXTERIOR
The single-frame 3D-hexagonal grille ensures the forepart terminate of the all-new Genesis is non only striking, depicted inwards semi-gloss chrome, but also encompasses available HID headlamps, LED indicators in addition to fog lamps. In profile, the Genesis daylight opening is to a greater extent than expressive, with fluid lines in addition to blended surfaces, a sleek C-pillar helping to emphasize the sporty styling. The raise of the all-new Hyundai Genesis benefits from a sculptural aesthetic with jeweled, full-LED taillamps.
INTERIOR
The cabin layout of all-new Genesis has been designed to exercise goodness all occupants with a spacious, comfortable ambience. The simplification of the switchgear in addition to musical instrument panel ensures an intuitive layout in addition to opened upwards feel. This user-centric pattern has sought to connect the diverse interior parts effectively, peculiarly the see stack with the console, upper-instrument panel in addition to B-pillar with the headliner. Genesis displays ultra-precise fit in addition to finish, with ergonomic topographic point pattern in addition to a generous, natural feel. Particular pattern attending has been paid to the storage of practical items such as mobile electronics of all shapes in addition to sizes, along with the flexibility of the loving cup holders.
Total interior book is an impressive 123.0 cubic feet, an wages over key competitors. As constituent of this spacious interior design, the Genesis provides best-in-class forepart headroom in addition to raise shoulder room.
Hyundai interior pattern principles - safety, intuitiveness in addition to simplicity - guided the Hyundai Genesis pattern squad inwards redesigning all primary controls to deliver maximum ease of use. The steering cycle pattern in addition to grip has been improved in addition to onboard switchgear was redesigned; a number of switches previously found on the see console of the master copy Genesis were relocated in addition to reshaped on the Genesis. Further ergonomic improvements to ensure ease of attain in addition to command take hold been meticulously evaluated in addition to executed using a specially-designed laboratory tool created to mensurate occupant operational forcefulness for ergonomics.
A novel pattern pattern has been introduced to decrease relative interior reflections in addition to brighten dashboard surfaces, piece high-grade materials such as genuine aluminum in addition to matte-finish forest are available. Cohesion betwixt the see fascia in addition to sound controls has been ensured through a streamlined design, making the 2 separate sections appear as one. To ensure a luxurious feel, Genesis was intensely scrutinized for its utilization of materials, with extensive analysis of the human relationship of unlike materials, their texture in addition to color coordination.
Driver in addition to rider posture are optimized using enhanced topographic point pad density, improved topographic point back upwards technologies, such as adjustable driver's topographic point powerfulness bolsters in addition to topographic point cushion extension. Genesis seats offering 12-way powerfulness forepart seats, including 4-way powerfulness lumbar, heated forepart seats with available ventilation, as good as available heated raise seats. Seat materials in addition to stitching character take hold been enhanced with the introduction of double, rather than unmarried stitching. The redesigned driver's topographic point incorporates novel functionality, with an available novel air-pressure pump in addition to controller valve, providing seatback bolster adjustment through private air-cells located inwards the seat. With a total operating fourth dimension nether 8-seconds, the Hyundai Genesis benefits from both a faster activation procedure in addition to greater attain of adjustment than many competitive rivals.
New interior-focused features for Genesis include available manual raise side sunshades for enhanced occupant comfort. Genesis passengers are also certain to appreciate the enhanced perspective of their environment via the novel available panoramic sunroof.

FEATURES
Standard features for the Genesis 3.8 include 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, a rearview camera, heated mirrors, automatic wipers, cruise control, automatic climate control, keyless ignition in addition to entry, heated eight-way powerfulness forepart seats with four-way powerfulness lumbar, leather upholstery, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a touchscreen interface, a navigation system, real-time traffic, Bluetooth telephone in addition to sound connectivity, Hyundai's Blue Link emergency telematics system, in addition to a seven-speaker sound organization with a CD player, an auxiliary sound jack, a USB/iPod interface, hard disk drive radio in addition to satellite radio.
The Genesis 3.8 tin live on equipped with iii alternative packages: Signature, Tech in addition to Ultimate.
The Signature bundle adds a panoramic sunroof, auto-leveling HID headlights, auto-dimming outside mirrors, high-intensity headlights, blind-spot detection in addition to raise cross-traffic alarm systems, ventilated forepart seats, driver retentivity functions, a powerfulness tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a powerfulness raise sunshade, manual side window shades in addition to a premium Lexicon 14-speaker surround-sound sound system.
The Tech bundle requires the Signature package, in addition to adds automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, a lane-departure warning organization with lane-keeping assist, forepart in addition to raise parking sensors, an automatic emergency braking system, an electronic parking brake, automatic vehicle agree business office (allows a driver to withdraw their pes from the brake piece stopped), upgraded leather upholstery, additional driver topographic point adjustments (cushion extension in addition to side bolsters) in addition to an upgraded 7-inch display for the guess cluster.

The Ultimate bundle for the Genesis 5.0 takes all the content of the 3.8 model's Ultimate version in addition to adds driver-selectable pause adjustment.
COMFORT & QUALITY
With its handsome novel look, the Genesis gets its interior in addition to storage infinite rejiggered. It's technically really slightly smaller than before, but at get-go look, it's a trade-off that nets out with a nicer cockpit.
The 2015 Hyundai Genesis is get-go in addition to foremost a comfort-oriented luxury sedan, in addition to this is merely as apparent if you're inwards dorsum as if you're inwards front. The forepart seats tin live on powered inwards as many as 12 directions, with four-way lumbar adjustment, heating, in addition to ventilation. The raise seats tin live on heated as well.
The Genesis is built on a rear-wheel-drive platform, in addition to piece in that location mightiness technically live on less raise legroom here, but the Genesis feels roomier when it comes downwards to what matters for adults—getting inwards in addition to out easily, in addition to non constantly rubbing against the headliner or upwards with the moonroof housing. Getting inwards in addition to out is far easier hither than inwards the front-wheel-drive Hyundai Azera—with no involve to duck when getting inwards in addition to out—and the to a greater extent than upright bundle in addition to to a greater extent than formal roofline adds upwards to a cabin that feels airier inside.
The outgoing version of the Genesis was pretty goodness at keeping things quiet, in addition to nosotros hollo back that the novel version does fifty-fifty better—with superb isolation away from engine, road, in addition to air current noise. Hyundai has fifty-fifty fitted a low-noise fuel pump, added additional insulation about the raise differential, thickened doors, reshaped the sunroof articulation, in addition to increased insulation in addition to improved sealing at the cowl. You'll take hold absolutely no work carrying on a placidity conversation alongside passengers, no affair where they're sitting.
Hyundai has redone the Genesis' controls for a less cluttered aspect in addition to feel—with fewer small-scale buttons—and overall nosotros can't state we're missing anything here. With the navigation in addition to infotainment enshroud upwards high at the middle, in addition to a square, ornate timepiece acting as a key signal for the controls otherwise, you lot take hold some 'hot buttons' for climate in addition to sound controls merely beside in addition to below, in addition to a rotary/button controller that acts as an alternate controller to navigate through touch-screen menus. It's non nearly as satisfying as the controllers for Audi's MMI or BMW's iDrive, however, in addition to you lot won't disclose features hither similar the powerfulness to line input characters.
The Genesis does start to present a few flaws when you lot dig a piddling deeper. For instance, the center-console cover, rather than using the sort of perfectly counterweighted or smoothly damped mechanisms that you’d reckon inwards some prestige-luxury cars, uses a unproblematic hinge in addition to piddling security bump stops.
If there's i issue, it's body space, which is rated at merely 15.3 cubic feet—in the same vicinity as that of many compact sedans—and in that location is no topographic point folding. Instead, you lot larn a meager body pass-through at the dorsum of the middle topographic point inwards back.
PERFORMANCE
As for whether the 2015 Genesis has what you lot involve inwards a large luxury sedan, it's a affair of wants in addition to needs. If most of your driving is on direct boulevards in addition to freeways, the Genesis has all the performance you'll need—with an ideal mix of comfort mixed in, without ever feeling wallowy. Only if you lot regularly involve to caput over a mount overstep or along a canyon route volition you lot empathise (and care) that this definitely isn't a sport sedan.
The base of operations engine remains a 3.8-liter V-6, right away rated at 311 horsepower in addition to 293 pound-feet of torque. It's direct-injected for amend fuel economy, sings upwards its rev attain responsively with the eight-speed automatic, in addition to runs on regular unleaded. Power is rated lower than inwards the 2014 model, piece torque is upwards slightly (333 hp, 291 lb-ft). Even the base of operations model includes shift paddles in addition to a manual-shift agency with a mensurate of direct gear control.
Somewhat stronger acceleration in addition to to a greater extent than luxury credibility—although non necessarily to a greater extent than driving satisfaction, as nosotros explicate further downwards this section—comes inwards the shape of the 5.0-liter V-8 inwards pricier versions. Also direct-injected, in addition to with impressively smooth powerfulness generation inwards its past times life, the eight-cylinder puts out 420 hp (down a relatively insignificant nine hp from 2014) in addition to 383 lb-ft of torque (down a to a greater extent than pregnant 38 lb-ft). It's teamed to the same eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters, too--a touching nosotros ever appreciate.
Both engines integrate with a four-mode organization (Eco, Normal, Sport, Snow) that tailors shift quality, throttle response, in addition to stability command to the driver's taste. Whether inwards Normal or Sport, nosotros found none of the hesitant downshift behavior that we've noted inwards another Hyundai models; the Genesis responds rapidly in addition to decisively to a quick prod of the accelerator, in addition to smartly downshifts a gear or 2 when you lot ease into it.
The bigger intelligence is inwards traction. After rolling through the get-go 5 years as a rear-drive sedan, the Genesis adds all-wheel drive for 2015. The novel organization tin vary the dissever of torque from the raise to the forepart wheels as traction needs arise, in addition to Hyundai says it adds only almost 165 lb to the car's weight.
Fitting all-wheel drive required a redesign of the Genesis' body structure, which inwards plough brought to a greater extent than high-strength steel into the body, for much higher levels of rigidity. That inwards plough helps the Genesis handgrip amend than ever, Hyundai promises. It soundless sports a five-link independent pause forepart in addition to rear, but with to a greater extent than cycle go in addition to stiffer construction—and some tuning assist from Lotus Engineering.
The 2015 Hyundai Genesis has a nicely tuned rear-wheel-drive architecture, but it's clearly no sport sedan, in addition to that's underscored when the route turns tighter in addition to twistier. The Genesis V-6 feels considerably lighter in addition to to a greater extent than responsive than the V-8 models, however—because it's lighter past times to a greater extent than than 400 pounds.
On the top Genesis 5.0 Ultimate—a model that nosotros spent some fourth dimension inwards on an early on drive—there's an available Continuous Damping Control (CDC) air pause that tin live on toggled from Normal to Sport mode. But nosotros thought that model neither rode nor handled quite as good as the less-nose-heavy V-6—although it did handle to filter out some roughest bits of pavement.
The Genesis' steering is far amend than expected; the novel electrical variable-ratio powerfulness steering has rack-mounted motor assist in addition to feels similar it could interpret with no changes to a truthful sport sedan. It's neither overly heavy on see nor artificially light, in addition to it loads upwards nicely with heft off center; it's also a perfect model for the sort of steering calibration Hyundai needs inwards its other vehicles.
The only pregnant disappointment was that pregnant nosedive, together with a rather mushy brake-pedal feel, conspired to give us an imprecise, hybrid-like experience to quick stops from metropolis or boulevard speeds.
CHASSIS
A Continuous Damping Control (CDC) suspension, available on the Genesis 5.0, helps increment command of body motions in addition to body roll, allowing sportier roadholding to live on complemented with a to a greater extent than comfortable ride character. Independent gyre command characteristics are achieved using separate tuning controls: Normal agency helps supply superior ride comfort, piece Sport agency helps increment damping forces for enhanced dynamic precision in addition to control. Handling in addition to roadholding also exercise goodness from a well-balanced 52/48 ratio of front-to-rear weight distribution.
In addition, special focus was given to the evolution of Rack-mounted Motor Driven Electric Power Steering (R-MDPS), with a Variable Gear Ratio (VGR), helping to supply high-speed stability in addition to to a greater extent than direct experience at depression in addition to medium speeds. These driving qualities are attained piece retaining the incremental fuel economic scheme benefits of an electrical organization over the higher parasitic losses of hydraulic systems.
DRIVETRAIN
Both engines experience pretty stiff when it comes to acceleration. Although the V8 model clearly has to a greater extent than low-end punch, it doesn't experience appreciably faster than the V6 inwards normal day-to-day driving. In fact, the only argue nosotros tin reckon to larn the 5.0 over the 3.8 is if you lot actually experience the involve to tell people that you lot sprung for the V8.
ENGINE
The Tau's high 11.8:1 compression ratio increases thermal efficiency in addition to output. The Tau also has a stiff bed plate for improved block rigidity in addition to lower NVH (Noise, Vibration, in addition to Harshness), as good as camshaft carriers in addition to a roller timing chain to improve valvetrain stability.
Even more, this V8 offers Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (D-CVVT), a tuned variable induction system, in addition to low-friction coatings on piston skirts. This Tau engine volition also run on regular fuel with only a small-scale reduction inwards peak power, in addition to no negative driving effects, whenever desired.
The Tau 5.0-liter V8 is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. This Hyundai-developed transmission offers enhanced shift logic in addition to speed, amend acceleration, sport-mode mapping, shifting smoothness, in addition to transmission efficiency. All eight-speed transmissions include SHIFTRONIC® manual shift capability with conveniently-located steering cycle paddle shifters to heighten shifting ease during spirited driving.
The V6 in addition to V8 engines both utilization direct injection, in addition to are highly revised versions of the engines that were offered inwards the 2014 Genesis. For 2015, the focus was on drivability, in addition to inwards the illustration of both engines, that meant improving low-end torque in addition to reducing noise, vibration in addition to harshness. Off-the-line answer has improved with both engines, in addition to fuel economic scheme has gone upwards past times 2 mpg on the highway with the V6. Both engines are backed past times an 8-speed automatic transmission, designed in addition to built past times Hyundai, with unlike gear ratios for the V6 in addition to V8.
►3.8-liter V6
311 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
293 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/29 mpg (rear-wheel drive), 16/25 mpg (all-wheel drive)
►5.0-liter V8
420 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
383 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 15/23 mpg
SAFETY
Although authorities crash testing for the novel Genesis is non yet complete, the entire construction was engineered to run across the novel Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick + standard.
Daytime running lights come upwards criterion on Genesis. Further, Hyundai Genesis offers a Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS). Whenever the organization is activated, the haptic steering cycle volition supply a vibration warning in addition to dial-integrated warning low-cal to alarm drivers of their lane departure, allowing them to reposition the automobile smoothly into the right position.
Even Genesis' tire pressure level monitoring organization (TPMS) has been enhanced with private tire pressure level readouts available to the driver.
Genesis is brought to a halt past times large four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Brake Assist in addition to Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD). Genesis 3.8 models take hold large 13.6-inch forepart rotors, piece the 5.0 has fifty-fifty larger 14.2-inch forepart rotors. Both braking systems utilization four-piston fixed monobloc calipers for precise braking responsiveness.
FUEL ECONOMY
The 2015 Genesis 3.8 models render xviii mpg city, 29 highway with rear-wheel drive, or 16/25 mpg with all-wheel drive (this is, unfortunately, a organization that volition lower your mileage all the time). 5.0 (V-8) models stand upwards at xv mpg city, 23 highway.
In an early on drive on generally wide-open expressways in addition to rural two-lane highways, nosotros saw an average of almost 25 mpg with a rear-wheel-drive V-6 model in addition to nearly 23 mpg with a V-8. Modern engine engineering includes variable valve timing in addition to direct injection, which together with the eight-speed automatic's broad bridge of ratios helps deliver these engines' higher output without putting a larger dent inwards real-world returns.
The V-6 runs on regular-grade gas, piece premium is recommended for the V-8.
