Hyundai Genesis Road Test
Introduction

For its 2015 redesign, Hyundai sent the Genesis luxury car back for more fitness training and delivered a competitor that's more refined and fun to drive than the original.

Known for being a great value, financially the Genesis continues to be an enticing value proposition. Adding all-wheel drive is a key feature in this category. Buyers interested in rocket-ship acceleration can also choose the 420-hp, V8-powered Genesis 5.0, although it comes only with rear-wheel drive. Handling is respectable too.

Shoppers will find Genesis solidly delivers on substance. It's very quiet and rides comfortably. The sedan also has a spacious cabin, a smooth and punchy powertrain, as well as fairly easy to use controls.

The Genesis also offers a suite of advanced safety features, including lane-departure warning, automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring. That said, we found its Lane Keep Assist system to be so overzealous we wanted to shut it off immediately to quell the frequent alerts.

Factor in a luxurious interior and the Genesis proves to be a compelling alternative to the traditional prestige brands.

Summary

Best Version to Get

If we were buying a Genesis on a budget, we'd get a 3.8 with the $4,000 Signature package and be done with it. Adding the optional $2,500 all-wheel-drive would bring the sticker to $45,450. Heck, you can barely buy a (much smaller) BMW 3 Series for that these day...
