Introduction
For 2009, Hyundai introduces their new Genesis sedan. The Genesis is designed to offer the luxury appointments of much more expensive cars, for less.
The Genesis can be had with a 290-hp 3.8-liter V6, or a 375-hp (using premium fuel) 4.6-liter V8. Both engines send power to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission that features manual sequential shift capability. Mechanical safety features include traction control, stability control, and panic brake assist. The interior features a full compliment of airbags, electronic active front headrests that provide whiplash protection, and a tire pressure monitor. Luxurious leather seats, automatic dual-zone climate control and wood trim are just some of the appointments this car offers that are typically only found in vehicles costing much more.
