Hyundai has taken the wraps off the second generation of the Genesis which looks far more refined than the outgoing model as a result of using the Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design language. It adopts an elegant hexagonal front grille that has a chrome look and a tridimensional layout. In terms of lighting, the luxury Asian sedan benefits from LED indicators, fog lamps and taillights, along with bi-functional HID headlamps. The car has an overall length of 4990mm and is 1890mm wide while the height stands at 1480mm. The wheelbase stretches at 3010mm so the interior cabin should be more than suitable for four occupants.
The 2014 Hyundai Genesis will be available as standard with a rear-wheel drive layout but pay more and you can configure yours with an optional HTRAC all-wheel drive system. There are four engines to choose from: 257 HP V6 3.0-liter, 282 HP V6 3.3-liter, 315 HP V6 3.8-liter and the range-topping 425 HP V8 5.0-liter. These power units are mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, while the V8-powered Genesis will complete the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) task in just 5.4 seconds before topping out at 149 mph (240 km/h).
