Hyundai Genesis Explained
The Hyundai Genesis (Korean: 현대 제네시스) is an executive car manufactured and marketed by Hyundai Motor Company over two generations from 2008 until 2016, before it was renamed the Genesis G80. It is a five-passenger, four-door, rear- or all-wheel-drive sedan.
Introduced in concept form at the 2007 New York International Auto Show,[1] and internally designated as the BH model, the Genesis was expected to cost $533 million to develop.[2] Hyundai began marketing the first generation Genesis worldwide (except in Europe) in 2008 as a "premium sports sedan".[3] The second generation Genesis (model DH) debuted in Seoul, Korea in November 2013[4] [5] followed by the 2014 North American International Auto Show[6] and Toronto Auto Show.[7]
On 4 November 2015, Hyundai announced that the name Genesis and Hyundai's second generation luxury model would move to a new and separate luxury division, Genesis Motor.[8] [9] The Genesis - as a Hyundai model - was replaced in actuality in 2017 when the second generation Hyundai Genesis was renamed the G80.[10] The move followed the model's success in the luxury market, paired with consumer acceptance of the Genesis nameplate.[11]
__TOC__
Development and design
Introduced in March 2007 as the "Concept Genesis", the sedan was designed by Hyundai as a "progressive interpretation of the modern rear-wheel drive sports sedan".[12] Hyundai conceived the idea for the Genesis in 2003. The body design took three years and the total cost of the program was $500 million over a development period of 23 months. Reliability testing ran for 800,000 miles.[13]
Hyundai reportedly benchmarked the BMW 5 Series (E60) sedan during the Genesis' development; the company's press release indicates the Genesis body in white exceeds the BMW in torsional rigidity by 14%.[14] The production Genesis sedan received a five-star crash rating in every category from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.[15] [16] Hyundai markets the Genesis as offering "the performance of a BMW 5-Series and the interior packaging of a 7-Series at the price of a 3-Series".[17]
Reviewing the Genesis 4.6 at its US introduction, automotive journalist Dan Neil called the absence of brand emblems at the front of the Genesis "a move that subverts the grammar of luxury".[18]
First generation (BH; 2008)
The Genesis was announced in Seoul[19] and later unveiled at the 2008 North American International Auto Show.[20] The first generation was marketed worldwide except in the European market.
Equipment included a speed-sensitive rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes, multi-link front and 5-link rear suspension; and three engine choices, depending on market: A V8 with weight distribution of 53% front / 47% rear and two V6 engines with 52% front / 48% rear weight distribution.
At introduction in the US in summer 2008, standard features included cruise control, automatic headlights, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, leather seat-upholstery and steering wheel, heated front seats with power adjustments, power windows, door locks, and mirrors, remote keyless entry and starting, and a seven-speaker audio system with XM satellite radio.[21]
Two optional Lexicon-branded audio systems offer 7.1 channels and 14 or 17 speakers.
Drivetrains
The Tau V8 is Hyundai's first domestic V8 engine. For the 2008–09 model years, the 4.6 L engine produced 375hp at 6,500 rpm and 333lbft at 3,500 rpm.[22] Introduced as a midyear change for the 2010 model, the 4.6 L V8 now produces 385hp at 6,500 rpm, with no change in the torque output: 333lbft at 3,500 rpm.[23] These figures are achieved using premium fuel. The V8 can also run on regular unleaded, in which case the 2010–11 model produces 378hp and 324 lb-ft. For the V8 model, Hyundai has reported 0–600NaN0 times of less than 6 seconds.[14] [24] Car and Driver reports a 0–60 mph time of 5.3 seconds[25] while Motor Trend reports a 0–60 mph time of 5.5 seconds in their October 2008 issue.
The Lambda 3.8 L V6 is available in Korean and North American models. In Korean spec, the engine produces 306hp. In US spec this engine produces 2900NaN0 at 6,200 rpm (up to 333 hp in GDi spec) and 2640NaN0 at 4,500 rpm.[22] Motor Trend reports a 0–60 mph time of 5.9 seconds.[26]
The Lambda 3.3 L V6 is available in some markets, producing 264hp.
In North America, the 2009-2011 V8-powered Genesis features a standard ZF 6HP26 6-speed automatic transmission from ZF Friedrichshafen (same as the unit found in the 2004-2010 BMW 5 Series), with the V6 models receiving an Aisin B600 6-speed automatic. The recommended gasoline for the V8 is premium for maximum fuel economy and horsepower, but also runs on regular. The V6 engine is designed for regular grade gasoline.

Marketing
A full production version went on sale in South Korea on 8 January 2008 in Hyundai's home market, South Korea. Notably, the Korean market Genesis does not carry a Hyundai badge, only the 'Genesis' emblem.[3] [46]
Hyundai has been criticised by Korean consumers over the price discrepancy between the US and Korean markets. Yonhap reports the Genesis costs "₩58.3 million (US$57,000) in Korea, whereas in the U.S. it sells for $32,000." This has led to dumping allegations[47] and a growing market in reimported Genesises by gray market dealers. Korean regulators are currently investigating whether Hyundai has abused its 75% domestic market share.[48] However, Hyundai cars in South Korea have more available options and that may be the reason for the mark-ups.
Marketed as the Hyundai Genesis in the US and Canada, the vehicle is the largest, most powerful car that Hyundai has ever marketed there before the launch of the Equus.[3]
The Genesis sedan went on sale in the US in August 2008. In its first five months of sales, the Genesis under-performed in the competitive US market selling only 6,167 units. According to Hyundai, Genesis saw sales of just 1,297 units in its first full sales month and the company expected to move around 8000 units from the US showrooms by the end of 2008.[49] In 2009, the Genesis sold 21,889 units in the U.S. (sedan and coupe combined).[50]
There had been internal discussions within Hyundai about creating a separate brand to feature the Genesis sedan as well as the soon to come Equus sedan in North America, but due to prohibitive costs and potential delays the Genesis and Equus remained tagged with the Hyundai brand[51] until 2016. In late 2016, The Genesis brand became separate from Hyundai in the United States.
The Genesis was not marketed at first in Europe because of Lexus's failure to thrive in Europe.[52] According to a September 2007 article in Tradingmarkets.com, "in the eyes of European purchasers of luxury vehicles, Hyundai sedans have been perceived as having a poor image and unreliable durability compared with its rivals."[53] "The planned launch of Genesis comes at a time when Hyundai is striving to shake off its poor-brand image, known for generous warranties and low prices."[53]
The latest Genesis will be sold in Europe, priced at about €65,000 in Germany.
The Genesis is sold in Latin America in Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Chile and Peru, offering versions with engines of 3.3 and 3.8 liters, and in Brazil only with the 3.8 liters engine.
Australia was the first country in the Oceania region to get the Genesis sedan, arriving in November 2014.
Coupe
See main article: Hyundai Genesis Coupe. A rear wheel drive sports car from Hyundai, dubbed Hyundai Genesis Coupe and sharing the Genesis Sedan's platform and name, was unveiled at the 2008 New York International Auto Show.
