The Genesis was designed to compete with the more expensive luxury vehicles and has emphasis on its driving performance. It is available with three engine choices, two of which are a six speed automatic transmission. A 3.8 liter V-6 engine producing 289 horsepower is available as well as a new 4.6 liter V-8 engine that produces about 360 horsepower. The Genesis Sedan goes an alleged 0 to 60 mpg in less than six seconds.

The Sedan features a five-link independent suspension in the front and rear, a 53 to 47 front/rear weight distribution, and a stiffer body style (due to the high-tensile steel used in production). It measures 197 inches long and 73.3 inches wide and has a 115.6 inch wheelbase, making the Hyundai Genesis Sedan a little larger than the average mid-sized car. On the inside standard features include a wood trim instrument panel, leather heating and cooling seats, windshield defogger with humidity sensors, and rain sensing wipers.

You are sure to get your moneys worth with the Genesis Sedan's standard ten-year or 100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty. If that wasn't good enough, you also have the option of a five-year or 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and in addition to these warranty's, the Genesis also comes with five years of 24 hour roadside assistance with no limit for mileage. The best part about this award-winning Sedan is that it is only $30,000. That means you can buy a rear wheel drive luxury Hyundai Genesis, which promises to challenge $60,000 luxury autos, for half the price.
