2012 Hyundai Genesis Hits Dealer Showrooms
It's got a refreshed look, new power, and a new starting price tag: $34,200 - not including $850 destination and delivery.
Hyundai has enhanced the exterior with larger intake openings and redesigned the headlights, but overall it looks very similar to the 2011 version.
The big change is with the engines. The base Genesis 3.8 sedan has added 43 horsepower and increased torque by 27 versus the 2011 model.
Hyundai has also introduced a new model this year, the 5.0 R-Spec. Priced at $46,500, it comes with the most powerful engine Hyundai has ever built - 429 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque.
