Don't let the Genesis nameplate confuse you, the Genesis coupe is a very different car from Hyundai's outstanding rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan. The Genesis coupe is a rear-wheel drive coupe that has more in common with performance coupes like the Ford Mustang, Nissan 370Z and Chevrolet Camaro than it does any other mid-sized coupe in the price range. Genesis Coupe 2.0T models have a 274-bhp turbocharged four cylinder under the hood, whereas Genesis Coupe 3.8 models equip a 348-bhp V6. A variety of trim levels includes the enthusiast-oriented track models and the R-Spec package aimed at tuners. The Genesis coupe equipped with a six-speed manual is one of the best performance values on the market.

What Changed:

The updated Genesis Coupe wears a redesigned front fascia, grille, headlamps and hood. The 3.8l V6 now includes direct injection technology and produces 348-bhp and 295 lb-ft. of torque. The 2.0l four-cylinder has an updated turbocharger increasing power to 274-bhp. The updated engines are paired with either a six-speed manual or a new eight-speed automatic.
