The Genesis has helped Hyundai pave its way into the hearts of American luxury car buyers. The full-size sedan features appealing curves, sophisticated design, and an aggressive front fascia. There’s no denying this car makes a statement and its bold presence can hold its own against high-end luxury makes, and its modest price tag certainly doesn’t hurt.
This year, the Genesis is built on a new rear-wheel drive platform with a three-inch longer wheelbase making it longer (and more spacious) than both the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

The Genesis also offers two all-new unique features. The first is a CO2 sensor which will automatically open outside vents when it detects levels of human C02 emissions that can induce drowsiness, the other feature is a hands-free trunk-opening system which engages when the driver stands next to the trunk for three seconds.
