Vehicle Highlight: Hyundai Genesis Coupe

myautonews_pic_003336953For years, the Genesis Coupe has proven that Hyundai is a serious contender in the affordable performance marketplace — and for 2016, the model maintains its high-value position as a high-capability sports model that’s highly attainable and potent.

With revised pricing and a sole engine option, the Genesis Coupe is Canada’s Most Powerful Car under $30,000 — not to mention a rear-drive coupe that’s fully equipped for driving thrills at every turn.

Here’s a look at five key reasons to consider the Genesis Coupe for all of your summertime motoring needs, when priorities include value velocity and a hearty dose of world-class performance without the world-class pricetag.

High Value Performance: Priced under $30,000, the 2016 Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec provides shoppers with nothing less than a full high-performance tool-kit for pursuing driving thrills. A 3.8-litre V6 engine with targeted upgrades provides 348 free-breathing horsepower that is sent to the rear wheels by a six-speed manual transmission. Add in the sleek looks, pure sports-car cabin and standard 19-inch staggered wheels, and you’ve got a compelling blend of affordability and power that no competitor can match.

The Real Deal: This isn’t a poser sports car: starting with 348 standard horsepower, the Genesis Coupe leaves the Toyota FR-S, the Civic Si, and the Subaru BR-Z in the dust. Consider the standard high-capacity Brembo braking system with fixed front calipers, a standard Torsen-type Limited Slip Differential, and a standard R-Spec suspension calibration for optimal response and agility, and it’s clear that the Genesis Coupe targets a shopper after maximum, full-spectrum performance for their dollar. No other car at this price point is as capable.

Daily-Driver Friendly: The Genesis Coupe has an easily-accessed rear seat that’s ideal for child seats, adults, or anyone sized in between. The carefully-calibrated R-Spec suspension balances high-performance responsiveness and everyday ride comfort carefully, and the big-bore V6 offers a mountain of low-end torque, which makes it easy and effortless to maneuver during around-town driving. Add in features like a premium audio system with colour display, standard Bluetooth, automatic climate control, full power accessories and premium gauges, and you’ve got a high-performance coupe that’s daily-driver friendly. There’s even a generous trunk.

Using a dedicated sports platform, the Genesis Coupe is a true sports car down to its very core, not a volume-model fitted with stiffer shocks and a bigger engine. Make no mistake: building the Genesis upon its own dedicated performance platform creates a driving experience that’s simply not possible when automakers take the easy route and soup up an economy car.

Choices Galore: Performance purists will gravitate towards the $29,749 Genesis Coupe 3.6 R-Spec Manual, though numerous other models are available to match a variety of needs and tastes. Look for a Premium Package for enhanced feature content and high-tech add-ons, as well as the Genesis 3.8 GT, which adds numerous luxury touches for enhanced long-haul touring comfort. The Genesis Coupe is also backed by a full range of factory-approved accessories, available at the parts counter, backed by a warranty, and guaranteed to fit and function properly the first time.
