Overview

Hyundai continues to make cars worthy of serious consideration, and the Genesis is no exception—it’s a compelling value in the mid-size luxury game. Under the hood is a 311-hp V-6 with rear-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is optional. If you want more performance, a 420-hp V-8 with rear-drive is available; an eight-speed automatic is standard on all. A Lotus-tuned suspension bestows it with solid road manners. Combined with supportive seats and a handsome interior, the Genesis is worth a look.
