The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a real breath of fresh air for a company that has been associated with Daewoo’s and Kia’s for way too long. When it does debut here in the states, it should be quite a hit. Our South Korean friends seem to think so, since at their home launch it was very well received indeed.
In South Korea the Genesis Coupe starts at a bargain price of $19,586. That get’s you a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine good for 210hp, rear wheel drive, and a 6-speed manual. If you want the upscale V6 it’ll cost you a very un-upscale $28,636. That model will see you laying 306hp to the tarmac via a new generation of 3.8-liter DOHC V6 engines sure to make their way across the company’s entire model line-up. Both models can be equipped with such options as Brembo braking hardware and an Infinity audio system.
While South Korean pricing does not reflect what we’ll pay, it’s pretty close. Once on out shores, expect the Genesis Coupe to be priced way under $30,000.
