Hyundai Genesis
The Genesis sedan is Hyundai’s first foray into the high-end vehicle market. This sober vehicle offers luxury, comfort and refinement. Its equipment list is sure to garner attention, especially considering that its purchase price is well within range for this category. A few style upgrades are included for 2012, in addition to a more powerful V6 engine (333 hp). The V8 with direct fuel injection had a boost in volume to 5.0L.
