Review and specifications
2015 Hyundai Genesis
The 2015 redesign brought the option of all-wheel drive for the V6, along with an updated and more-luxurious interior and advanced safety systems. Power output for the V6 engine was increased and the Genesis got a new 429-horsepower V8. While this engine demands premium fuel, it also elevates the Hyundai into the realm of performance sedans. Ride quality is much improved over previous versions, regardless of the engine choice, but the performance tires offered with the big V8 increase road noise. Smart cruise control and a rear-view camera are part of the optional Technology Package.

Brand context
About Hyundai
<p>From low-cost sedans to three-row electric SUVs, Hyundai has a model for almost every kind of customer. Most new Hyundai vehicles are stylish, functional, and competitively priced, but the brand overall ranks around the middle in Consumer Reports’ reliability and owner satisfaction ratings. Performance for individual models and years varies widely, with some standouts and a few laggards. The core Hyundai lineup includes low-cost compact Elantra and midsized Sonata sedan. SUVs include the subcompact Kona and compact Tucson, plus the midsized Santa Fe and larger Palisade, both of which offer hybrid powertrains and three-row seating. In our testing, most Hyundai models are available with a hybrid drivetrain, which adds power and smoothness while improving fuel economy. The Ioniq electric models are high-tech, well-designed, and can charge quite rapidly at public DC fast charging stations.</p>
