For those who are interested in getting the features, comfort and refinement of a luxury car, but don't really care so much about an established luxury badge, the completely redesigned Hyundai Genesis should be right up their alley.
Every Genesis gets a huge interior with stretch-out back seat room, a generously sized, 15.3-cubic -foot trunk and lots of standard equipment. Stepping up to the Ultimate package model adds a navigation system, adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, a full menu of driver warning systems, a fantastic Lexicon sound system and an enhanced electronics interface.
A 3.8-liter 311-hp V6 is standard along with rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is an option. This is a smooth, torquey engine with decent mileage for the segment. It also runs on regular gas. There's a 5.0-liter 420-hp V8 available, and although it's quick, we're not sure it's really in keeping with this car's character.
That's because the Genesis is a luxury sedan, not a sport sedan - and that's OK. It still goes around corners with confidence, but it's primarily a comfortable, composed and incredibly quiet luxury car that should appeal to a lot of drivers.
And how much does it cost? Pricing starts at $38,000 and this Ultimate package, V6-powered model costs about $52,000. That's about what you'd pay for a Lexus ES - except that the Genesis is more in line in terms of size, equipment, power and presence as the Lexus GS. That will cost you about $12,000 more. That difference couldn't definitely be worth a less fancy badge.
