Hyundai Made Its Market Presence by Building Budget Cars

When Hyundai introduced The Genesis, it was designed to take on cars like the BMW 5 series and Infinity M but for less money. This move certainly made waves in the market. The Genesis is a car that has made its presence known by building budget-friendly cars.

The Genesis has a powerful engine under its hood. It comes equipped with a 3.8 L V6, which received direct fuel injection. This new powertrain works pretty well, offering smooth power delivery and quick acceleration times. Compared to the non-direct injection version, the V6-powered Genesis offers better fuel economy because the V6 engine drives the rear wheels.

For those who want to upgrade to a more powerful engine, they can opt for the V8 version of The Genesis. However, it's worth noting that the V6 is plenty quick and also gets better fuel economy compared to the V8. The reason behind this is that the V6 engine is designed specifically for rear-wheel drive, which results in better fuel efficiency.

In terms of handling, one might expect a dedicated sports sedan from The Genesis. However, that's not the case. While the steering is responsive and has good heft to it, it lacks feedback. It's a bit short on feedback compared to its competitors. Another thing to note is that you can't get an all-wheel drive version of The Genesis, so if you live in an area where it snows, it's wise to invest in a set of snow tires.

One major complaint about the ride of The Genesis is that it lacks isolation found in other luxury sedans. However, Hyundai has been continually tweaking the suspension and it's now mostly composed. This means that the Genesis is pretty easy to live with, even for those who might be picky about their driving experience.

The interior of The Genesis is a major plus point. Big size windows make it easy to see out, and parking is made easier with the backup camera. The interior is really well finished, with optional leather trim on the dashboard and padded materials all around. Drivers will find a roomy driving position, and the Power Tilt and Telescope steering wheel is a nice luxury touch.

However, there are some minor annoyances to deal with. For example, the outside temperature can only be displayed when you're changing the climate settings, which is something you expect to have displayed all the time. If you offer the technology package, the touchscreen and most of the radio buttons go away replaced by a single multi-function controller, making it quite a pain to navigate through the menus and even some of the radio functions.

One major complaint about the front seats is that the bottom cushion was found to be too short to provide optimal thigh support. On the other hand, there aren't many complaints about the back seat, as it's one of the best around. It's roomy and comfortable for three adults, and there's a spacious trunk.

In conclusion, The Genesis has a lot to offer despite its lower price point compared to its competitors. While you give up a fancy brand name and a grill badge, you get a powerful engine, smooth power delivery, quick acceleration times, and better fuel economy.
