Hyundai sells two cars under the Genesis name, but they could hardly be more different. The softly sprung Genesis sedan is a luxurious shot across the bow of high-end European and Japanese carmakers. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe, on the other hand, is a serious rear-wheel-drive sport coupe that gives more established performance marques a run for their money.
Available with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a naturally aspirated V6, the Genesis Coupe is a typically impressive Hyundai value, but with a high-performance edge. Sending power to the rear wheels makes for a superior driving experience, and the Genesis Coupe also boasts distinctive styling and ample feature content. These virtues make Hyundai's taut two-door one of our favorite affordable performance cars.
Used Hyundai Genesis Coupe Models
The Genesis Coupe debuted for 2010 in seven trim levels. For 2011, Hyundai dropped the 2.0T Track trim and added the 3.8 R-Spec (basically a 2.0 R-Spec with the V6 engine). Coupes through the 2012 model year had more mundane front-end styling and were not as powerful compared to the current model. Engine output topped out at 210 hp for the 2.0T and 306 hp for the V6 and the automatic transmissions were limited to only five (four-cylinder) or six (six-cylinder) speeds. Elsewhere, steering response was a bit more relaxed and a telescoping steering column was not offered, something taller drivers should consider.
