Interior Design and Special Features

If it were not for cowards "H" logo on the steering wheel of Genesis, we believe that most drivers think they are driving a Lexus. This is especially true for the 4.6 or 3.8 fully loaded models they offer a full range of modern materials and high-end interior. Even the crisp, bright electroluminescent gauges have an appearance similar to Lexus.

The dashboard consists of several arches that wrap elegantly sweeping dashboard and center console controls. Despite the plethora of buttons on the center console of the dashboard and steering wheel, it's simple and intuitive to take command of these systems through a logical structure that comes with the touch screen or button is available and screen interface. The sound quality available Lexicon audio system is also quite impressive.

Front of Genesis provides a lot of cushioning and support to engage comfortably driver and passenger for long trips, and the same can be said for the rear seats. As for the quarters at the rear, we are particularly impressed with the head and legs fully. The rear seats do not fold down for extra luggage space, but there is a feature pass-through for long objects that do not fit in the trunk of 15.9 cubic feet.

Engine power is right there, trademarks, V6 and V8 models to produce smooth acceleration and steady. Genesis is also extremely quiet car thanks to extensive soundproofing.
