2015 2016 Genesis Freeman Hyundai Irving 214-293-3803 SDB The Genesis true to its name has been the start of something entirely new at Hyundai. And now with the 2015 Hyundai Genesis the start of a second generation of this model the automaker looks prepared to dive in with even more luxury-car ambition. That said both its badge and its pricing continue to distance it from most other luxury cars that it rightly rivals. With the original Genesis launch for 2009 the South Korean automaker attempted a true luxury car but smartly without the daunting bill of establishing an entirely new brand or dealership network around it. The Genesis true to its name has been the start of something entirely new at Hyundai. And now with the 2015 Hyundai Genesis the start of a second generation of this model the automaker looks prepared to dive in with even more luxury-car ambition. That said both its badge and its pricing continue to distance it from most other luxury cars that it rightly rivals. With the original Genesis launch for 2009 the South Korean automaker attempted a true luxury car but smartly without the daunting bill of establishing an entirely new brand or dealership network around it. While we can t call that first-generation Genesis a sales champ (it did after all land with unfortunate timing for the U.S.) it s undoubtedly raised the bar for the brand and established Hyundai as a legitimate luxury player on an Acura level of not yet Mercedes. And this time with revamped infotainment gear more refined finishes and a full suite of active-safety features on offer and a base price under 40 000 the Hyundai Genesis might just cause those champagne glasses to quake a bit. The first-generation Genesis had a pleasantly anodyne body with just a few flares of South Korean style in its grille and secondary controls. The 2015 Genesis goes out of its way to blur even those touches adopting a new roofline and grille that are striking in combination. The grille s grown up down and out in a shape that bears more than a passing resemblance to VW and Audi noses the winged Genesis badge could be on a Bentley. Down the side and especially from the rear quarters the passing references to BMWs are unmistakable. There may be nothing new under the sun but at least the interpretation of global design cues works well on the new Genesis putting some good distance between the new car and the 2009-2014 edition. Inside the Genesis is simple and feels more like it has its own identity. The dash has a horizontal shelf-like orientation and a great layout that s attractive yet sensible with the navigation and infotainment screen up high at the middle and a visually satisfying combination of extensive wood trim facing the passenger with a gently curved soft dash top. Hyundai carries over the powertrains from the prior Genesis for the 2015 model year with tweaks to improve fuel economy and performance but has enlisted some high-wattage experts to help tune the sedan s handling. And the resulting redesigned model offers strong performance with a more nuanced driving demeanor than before. As for whether the 2015 Genesis has what you need in a large luxury sedan it s a matter of wants and needs. If most of your driving is on straight boulevards and 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 regularly need to head over a mountain pass or along a canyon road will you understand (and care) that this definitely isn t a sport sedan. The base engine remains a 3.8-liter V-6 now rated at 311 horsepower and 293 pound-feet of torque the 5.0-liter V-8 version puts out 420 hp and 383 lb-ft they re both teamed to the same eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and they integrate a four-mode system (Eco Normal Sport Snow) that tailors shift quality throttle response and stability control to the driver s taste. The bigger news is in traction. After rolling through the first five years as a rear-drive sedan the Genesis adds all-wheel drive for 2015. The new system can vary the split of torque from the rear to the front wheels as traction needs arise and Hyundai says it adds only about 165 lb to the car s weight. The down side is that it does lower gas mileage quite significantly. The 2015 Hyundai Genesis has a nicely tuned rear-wheel-drive architecture but it s clearly no sport sedan and that s underscored when the road turns tighter and twistier. The Genesis V-6 feels considerably lighter and more responsive than the V-8 models however because it s lighter by more than 400 pounds. For all versions there s a new five-link independent suspension front and rear it has more wheel travel and stiffer construction and some tuning help from Lotus Engineering. Top Genesis 5.0 Ultimate models have an available Continuous Damping Control (CDC) air suspension that can be toggled from Normal to Sport mode although we re not convinced on the worth of this system. What is a pleasant surprise is the Genesis electric-assist variable-ratio steering. Throughout the cabin of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis you ll find impressive materials and top-notch fit and finish. And whether you ve owned various vehicles with luxury badges in the past or you re new to luxury cars entirely you won t likely find anything missing in the comfort or ambiance. The 2015 Hyundai Genesis is first and foremost a comfort-oriented luxury sedan and this is just as apparent if you re in back as if you re in front. The front seats can be powered in as many as 12 directions with four-way lumbar adjustment heating and ventilation. The rear seats can be heated as well. Hyundai s second-generation Blue Link telematics system has its debut in the 2015 Genesis sedan. New features include integration with Google Glass Google Destination Search remote start and a new system of notifications that reminds drivers to warm their car in warm weather or gives recommended departure times for a destination entered into the navigation system by smartphone app. To schedule a reservation to meet with me and test drive this amazing 2015 Hyundai Genesis.
