Hyundai Genesis 2009
In modern day parlance, when the Hyundai Genesis premiered at the 2008 North American International Auto Show, it virtually rocked the house. The world had never seen a Hyundai like this before. For the first time in the brand’s budget-car history, Hyundai was not taking on the big guns, and were a little smitten about it, because the Genesis was ready to compete on a global scale with the top luxury models, at a fraction of their cost.
Ever since the South Korean automaker arrived in the U.S. market, back in 1986, it’s emphasized value. Hyundai typically promised features and capabilities similar to those of major competitors, but at a significantly lower price.
Two powertrains are offered: a Lambda 3.8-liter V-6 and an all-new Tau 4.6-liter V-8. Working with continuously variable valve timing, the V-6 makes 290 horsepower and 264 pound-feet of torque. Running on premium fuel, Hyundai’s new V-8 produces 375 horsepower, along with 333 pound-feet. With regular-grade gasoline, the V-8 makes 368 hp and 324 pound-feet.
