Hyundai aims to shatter premium automobile paradigms with the introduction of its new flagship, the 2009 Genesis sports sedan.
Genesis is built on Hyundai's all-new, performance-driven rear-wheel-drive architecture. It offers two powertrains, the 3.8-liter V6 and 4.6-liter V8.
With technology rivaling more expensive luxury sedans, Genesis showcases features such as XM NavTraffic, Adaptive Front Lighting System, Lexicon audio systems and electronic active head restraints.
Genesis reduces interior noise levels and improves ride and handling with a stiffer, lighter body structure. The use of high tensile steel in critical areas in the unibody provides Genesis with 12-14 percent higher dynamic torsional rigidity and a lower body structure weight than the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
The 4.6-liter V8 engine mated to a ZF 6-speed automatic transmission with manual control delivers 375 horsepower to fit the demands of performance-oriented consumers. This powertrain combination will launch Genesis to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds.
Genesis 3.8 also delivers spirited performance through a 3.8-liter V6 engine that delivers 290 horsepower and 264 lb.-ft. of torque. The Genesis V6 engine is mated to an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission.
