Interior Design and Special Features

If not for the digitization of "H" logo on the wheel of Genesis, most people probably think you're driving a Lexus. This is especially true in the fully loaded model, which offers a wide range of modern amenities wrapped inside material that feels rich and well built. The cabin has Genesis are clearly aimed at the Japanese luxury flagship, and even the crisp, bright electroluminescent indicators look similar to Lexus.

The controls are well placed throughout the Genesis Award and the range of finishes, while the task of managing more complex electronic systems available - including shipping - is done with either a touchscreen or button and display. We would like to see stereo preset buttons with the following configuration, however, because it may take some time to click and spin your way to the station you want. The multi-speaker sound Lexicon is also very impressive, with the speaker 17 is one of the best systems found in any car at any price.

Suitable for luxury touring car, the front seats offer plenty of comfort in Genesis as well as driver and passenger for long distances. The same can be said for the rear seats, heaters that offer optional, there is ample head and legroom for rear seat passengers are offered. Rear seats do not fold for extra cargo space, but the pass-through can accommodate long objects that do not fit 15.9 cubic feet trunk.

Guide

The smooth ride for most models 2012 Hyundai Genesis is a good indicator of the intentions of luxury cars, and thankfully it has not disconnected flows that characterize some other cruisers sleepy. When asked, the Genesis perform evasive maneuvers predictable little drama. Director does not give much comment, but it is quite accurate and objective fits the car. Thank you to the extensive soundproofing that Genesis is a remarkably quiet car.

Engine performance is also more evenly matched other prestige brands, with the Genesis V6 and V8 models delivers a smooth, linear acceleration. The new R-Spec 5.0 is just downright fast, corresponding to the acceleration potential V8 sports sedan that costs thousands more. But unlike his colleagues regularly suffers Genesis R-Spec a ride on the pavement broken cabinet that separates the wrong way from the aforementioned sport sedans.
