Genesis represents a bold step forward for Hyundai,
continuing to build upon its successful strategy of marketing its premium
models under the Hyundai brand umbrella, rather than a costly, separate
luxury brand sales channel. The Genesis is incredibly well-equipped in
every configuration, offering even more content than the first-generation
Genesis. This content includes a generous suite of standard safety and
convenience features, unsurpassed in its class. A sophisticated AWD system
is available, known as HTRAC®,, which has broadened Genesis
appeal in the snowbelt regions throughout the U.S. The Genesis is
manufactured at Hyundai’s Ulsan, Korea plant.
FLUIDIC SCULPTURE
Since its 2009 debut on the
Sonata sedan, Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture design philosophy has been
continually enhanced and refined, progressively influencing every model in
the Hyundai line-up. The 2016 Genesis embodies the second-generation of
this convention-shattering design theme.
Fluidic Sculpture
encapsulates a trio of main design elements: fluid aesthetics, the modern
Hyundai look, and a premium ambience. Fluidic forms are present but with a
refined and precise presentation. This latest design philosophy is
adaptable to a wider range of vehicle types and sizes, from CUVs to
premium-luxury flagships.
EXTERIOR DESIGN
The Genesis expresses a truly modern design through distinctive
exterior styling with a sleek, upscale appearance. Evoking a premium feel,
the design cues display the Hyundai family aesthetic: simple and harmonious
design with refined fluidic elements. The design features the modern
Hyundai look, with a striking hexagonal front grille as a key geometric
element, a dynamic crease accent running along the flanks of the car, and a
dynamic rear design. Design surfaces convey a kinetic elegance, relying
more on voluminous body sections than surface details to create dramatic
forms. Proportions demonstrate a long dash-to-axle length, longer wheelbase
and shorter overhangs than its predecessor. These proportions clearly
convey the performance rear-drive configuration beneath the sheetmetal.
The single-frame 3D-hexagonal grille ensures the front end of the
Genesis is not only striking, depicted in semi-gloss chrome, but also
encompasses standard HID headlights, LED Daytime Running Lights and
available LED fog lights. In profile, the Genesis daylight opening is
expressive, with fluid lines and blended surfaces, a sleek C-pillar helping
to emphasize the sporty styling. The rear of the Genesis benefits from a
sculptural aesthetic with jeweled, full-LED taillights.
INTERIOR DESIGN
The cabin layout of Genesis has
been designed to benefit all occupants with a spacious, comfortable
ambience. The simplification of the switchgear and instrument panel ensures
an intuitive layout and open feel. This user-centric design has sought to
connect the various interior parts effectively, particularly the center
stack with the console, upper-instrument panel and B-pillar with the
headliner. Genesis displays ultra-precise fit and finish, with ergonomic
seat design and a generous, natural feel. Particular design attention has
been paid to the storage of practical items such as mobile electronics of
all shapes and sizes, along with the flexibility of the cup holders.
Total interior volume is an impressive 123.0 cubic feet, an
advantage over key competitors. As part of this spacious interior design,
the Genesis provides best-in-class front headroom and rear shoulder
room.
Hyundai Genesis | Cadillac CTS | Lexus GS | Infiniti Q70 | BMW 5-Series | M-B E-Class | |
Total Interior Volume (cu. ft.) | 123 | 110.7 | 113.3 | 118.5 | 116 | 113.1 |
Hyundai
interior design principles – safety, intuitiveness and simplicity
– guided the Genesis design team in designing all primary controls to
deliver maximum ease of use. Ergonomic ease of reach and control have been
meticulously evaluated and executed using a specially-designed laboratory
tool created to measure occupant operational force for ergonomics.
The interior surfaces have been developed to decrease relative interior
reflections and brighten dashboard surfaces, while high-grade materials
such as genuine aluminum and matte-finish wood are available. Cohesion
between the center fascia and audio controls has been ensured through a
streamlined design, making the two separate sections appear as one. To
ensure a luxurious feel, Genesis was intensely scrutinized for its use of
materials, with extensive analysis of the relationship of different
materials, their texture and color coordination.
Driver and
passenger posture are optimized using enhanced seat pad density, improved
seat support technologies, such as adjustable driver’s seat power
bolsters and seat cushion extension. Genesis offer 12-way power front
seats, including 4-way power lumbar, heated front seats with available
ventilation, as well as heated rear seats on HTRAC AWD models. Seat
materials and stitching quality utilize double, rather than single
stitching. The driver’s seat incorporates functionality with an
available air-pressure pump and controller valve, providing seatback
bolster adjustment through individual air-cells located in the seat. With a
total operating time under 8-seconds, the Genesis benefits from both a
faster activation process and greater range of adjustment than many
competitive rivals.
ULTRA-RIGID PLATFORM
The 2016 Genesis platform employs advanced high-strength steel,
composing over 50 percent of its total platform composition. The benefits
of strategic use of high-strength steel are immediately evident in
torsional and bending rigidity. As a result, the Genesis is stiffer in both
torsional and bending rigidity than the BMW 5-series.
Ensuring a
smooth ride over rough roads was a top development focus, achieved by a
robust connecting structure, extensive laser welding, reinforced body and
chassis mounting points, hot stamping and dipping techniques for the
B-pillar and roof sides, and a high level of high-strength steel in the
chassis. Front shock towers are made of aluminum, and a diamond-shaped
strut bar maximizes front structure rigidity for precise steering
response.
PERFORMANCE CHASSIS
Fully
leveraging this rigid chassis is a rear multi-link suspension, with
optimized 5-link geometry and increased suspension travel for a broader
envelope of both dynamic performance and ride comfort. Lateral suspension
stiffness and overall ride comfort refinement were top priorities in its
dynamic development. The fully-independent, 5-link front and rear
suspension designs have increased stiffness compared with the original
Genesis, with increased front and rear suspension travel, for greater wheel
articulation and bump absorption over a variety of road surfaces. 18-inch
and 19-inch alloy wheels resist deflection forces for precise suspension
response to changing road surfaces. Handling and roadholding also benefit
from a well-balanced 52/48 ratio of front-to-rear weight distribution.
In addition, special focus was given to the development of
Rack-mounted Motor Driven Electric Power Steering (R-MDPS), with a Variable
Gear Ratio (VGR), helping to provide high-speed stability and a direct feel
at low and medium speeds. These driving qualities are attained while
retaining the incremental fuel economy benefits of an electric system over
the higher parasitic losses of hydraulic systems.
HTRAC® AWD AVAILABILITY
The Genesis is
offered with a choice of rear-wheel-drive or HTRAC®
All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) configurations. The HTRAC AWD system was developed as
a multi-mode system, providing an electronic, variable-torque-split clutch
with active torque control between the front and rear axles.
The
driver-selectable HTRAC Normal and Sport modes help provide confident
control in all-weather conditions. The Sport setting gives a more agile
feel by sending more available torque to the rear wheels, for a sporty
rear-drive dynamic feel when desired. Further, to maximize efficiency, the
system can direct more available torque to the rear wheels during
steady-state highway cruising for reduced drivetrain frictional losses and
noise. This system has a wider range of torque distribution variability
than many competitive systems and has been tuned to variable conditions
such as straight-line acceleration, medium- and high-speed cornering, and
hill-starts. All modes are programmed in concert with Genesis’
Intelligent Drive Mode select.
DYNAMIC CHASSIS
DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING
In addition to extensive on-the-road
and laboratory testing, circuit-based testing of the Genesis took place in
Germany, Korea and Hyundai’s California Proving Ground in the U.S.
High g-force assessment of the HTRAC AWD system was completed at the Korea
International Circuit in Yeongam, the venue for one round of the Formula
One World Championship. Durability and high-performance handling driving
tests took place on the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany to
precisely calibrate Genesis ride, braking and handling characteristics.
Furthermore, Hyundai engineers collaborated with top dynamics experts such
as Lotus Engineering to further validate the performance capability of the
Genesis.
MOST POWERFUL HYUNDAI V8 ENGINE
The heart of the Genesis 5.0 is the award-winning 5.0-liter Tau
V8 engine producing 420 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 383 lb. ft. of torque
at 5,000 rpm. The Tau V8 engine family has been named to Ward’s
prestigious Ten Best Engines list three times. With high-pressure direct
injection for impressive power, low emissions and superb efficiency, this
latest version of the Tau V8 benefits from an optimized intake runner
length, enhanced timing chain for reduced friction and NVH, low-torque

Genesis 5.0 5.0L V8 | Mercedes E400 3.0 L V6 Twin Turbo | Cadillac CTS 3.6L V6 Twin Turbo | Infiniti Q70 5.6L V8 | Audi A6 3.0T 3.0L V6 SC | |
Horsepower (SAE) | 420@6000 | 329@5250 | 420@5750 | 420@6000 | 333@5500 |
5.0-liter Direct Injection Tau V8 engine
The
Tau’s high 11.8:1 compression ratio increases thermal efficiency and
output. The Tau also has a rigid bed plate for improved block rigidity and
lower NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness), as well as camshaft carriers
and a roller timing chain to improve valvetrain stability.
Even
more, this V8 offers Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (D-CVVT), a
tuned variable induction system, and low-friction coatings on piston
skirts. This Tau engine will also run on regular fuel with only a small
reduction in peak power, and no negative driving effects, whenever
desired.
The Tau 5.0-liter V8 is mated to an eight-speed
automatic transmission. This Hyundai-developed transmission offers enhanced
shift logic and speed, better acceleration, sport-mode mapping, shifting
smoothness, and transmission efficiency. All eight-speed transmissions
include SHIFTRONIC® manual shift capability with
conveniently-located steering wheel paddle shifters to enhance shifting
ease.
DIRECT-INJECTED LAMBDA 3.8-LITER ENGINE
The Genesis 3.8-liter direct-injected Lambda engine is optimized
to deliver a flatter overall torque curve at low rpm for superb
drivability. This engine includes a three-stage variable intake system,
triangular-pattern fuel injector for improved combustion, an air-gap
exhaust manifold for better NVH, and an upgraded cylinder block with a
variable-vane 2-stage oil pump for reduced parasitic losses. In keeping
with its 5.0-liter V8 sibling, the Genesis 3.8-liter Lambda engine utilizes
direct-injection and produces 311 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 293 lb.-ft.
of torque at 5,000 rpm. It also has a high compression ratio of 11.5:1 for
greater thermal efficiency. The Lambda engine will run on regular fuel with
only a small reduction in peak power, and no negative driving effects,
whenever desired by the owner.
Genesis 3.8 3.8L V6 | Lexus GS 3.5L V6 | Mercedes E350 3.5L V6 | Cadillac CTS 2.0 I4 Turbo | Audi A6 2.0T 2.0L Turbo | BMW 535i 3.0L I6 Turbo | |
Horsepower (SAE) | 311@6000 | 306@6400 | 302@6500 | 272@5500 | 252@5000 | 300@5800 |
The 3.8-liter engine also has Dual Continuously

SAFETY
TECHNOLOGIES
Genesis offers abundant standard safety
features, including Electronic Stability Control (ESC), nine airbags, and
energy-absorbing front seats. Genesis' nine airbags include advanced dual
front airbags, driver’s knee airbag, front and outboard rear
seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and roof-mounted side curtain airbags for
both front and rear outboard seat occupants.
The entire Genesis
structure was engineered to meet the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
(IIHS) Top Safety Pick + standard.
LED Daytime running lights
come standard on Genesis. Further, Genesis offers a Lane Departure Warning
(LDW). Whenever the system is activated, the haptic steering wheel will
provide a vibration warning and dial-integrated warning light to alert
drivers of their lane departure, allowing them to reposition the car
smoothly into the correct position.
Even Genesis’ tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS) provides individual tire pressure
readouts available to the driver.
Genesis is brought to a halt
by large four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Brake Assist and Electronic
Brake Distribution (EBD). Genesis 3.8 models have large 13.6-inch front
rotors, while the 5.0 has even larger 14.2-inch front rotors. Both braking
systems use four-piston fixed monobloc calipers for precise braking
responsiveness.
SENSORY SURROUND SAFETYTM
TECHNOLOGIES
The Genesis employs a suite of active driver
safety technologies dubbed Sensory Surround SafetyTM. These
features cover the full spectrum of safety, from driver alertness and focus
to total occupant safety, and even the safety of other drivers around you.
These features are supplements to the driver’s safe, attentive
driving.
Genesis offers Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB),
utilizing sensor fusion technology to help avoid a potential collision or
reduce its impact in certain circumstances. With this supplemental system,
Genesis will employ automatic braking when it detects another vehicle at an
unsafe closing rate of speed. This system uses the Smart Cruise Control
system and the forward camera from Lane Departure Warning (LDW) to provide
this extra margin of safety.
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) Functional Range | ||
Speed | Brake Application | AEB Result |
50 - 112 mph | Partial Braking | Collision Warning |
5 - 50 mph | Full Braking | Collision Mitigation |
Genesis’ Smart Cruise Control (SCC) incorporates stop-start
functionality that functions seamlessly with the standard electronic
stability control system. This system for Genesis allows full function down
to zero mph to operate seamlessly in stop-and-go traffic conditions, using
the front-grille-mounted radar sensor. SCC enables the Genesis to help
maintain safer, consistent spacing with the vehicle ahead in varied traffic
conditions. The system can also help deploy an available Automatic
Emergency Braking system should an impending collision situation be
detected with a vehicle ahead.
Genesis is generously equipped
with advanced technologies, many of them Hyundai firsts. A
driver-selectable Intelligent Drive Mode allows drivers to select from four
drive modes depending on conditions and driving preferences. Each drive
mode alters transmission mapping, throttle responsiveness and stability
control, with specific modes adapted to function seamlessly with HTRAC AWD
for those Genesis so equipped.
Intelligent Drive Mode | Type of Driving |
ECO | Fuel Economy |
NORMAL | Balanced |
SPORT | Dynamic Focus |
SNOW | Low-traction conditions |
In
addition to the above modes, Genesis features an Emergency Steering Support
Mode which automatically changes the setting of electronic stability
control (ESC) in the direction suitable for emergency steering, to help
avoid frontal crash situations.
Genesis also offers a Blind-Spot
Detection system (BSD), which helps monitor traffic around the car and
supplements the driver checking their surroundings. The system uses radar
sensors in the rear bumper to help warn the driver of an approaching
vehicle in his or her blind spot via an indicator on the side mirrors. If
the driver activates the lane change indicator and attempts to change the
lane, ignoring warning indicators, BSD additionally issues an audible
warning and haptic steering wheel vibrations. In addition, for
Genesis’ equipped with the Head’s-Up Display, the BSD system
indicators also project onto the windshield, nearer the driver’s view
of the road, a segment first.
Lane Change Assist (LCA) performs
a similar function to help detect vehicles approaching towards its rear
side at high speeds, especially during higher-speed driving, while Rear
Cross-traffic Alert (RCTA) scans areas to each side of the car when drivers
are backing out of parking spaces. No other sedan in Genesis’ class
offers the combination of Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist, and
Rear Cross-traffic Alert active safety systems.
From the front,
the available Lane Departure Warning (LDW) captures images of lanes and
recognizes the lane marker. If LDW detects lane departure, a warning signal
is activated on the instrument panel while issuing a haptic steering wheel
vibration warning. Working in concert with LDW, Genesis’ Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA) performs a similar function of LDW, but LKA additionally
provides a driver-adjustable level of steering assist to help prevent
inadvertent lane departure when a vehicle approaches the edge of a lane and
also provides steering wheel haptic vibration feedback.
For
convenience and safety, a High-beam Assist (HBA) function is also
available. When switched to automatic mode, it detects both oncoming
vehicles and vehicles in the same lane ahead at night and changes to
low-beam as appropriate, reducing blinding effects on other drivers.
Whenever there are no vehicles detected, the system automatically
re-activates the high beams, maximizing the driver’s range of vision.
To maximize driving visibility, Genesis offers HID headlights with dynamic
auto-leveling that compensates for varying vehicle loads.
To
help ensure maximum driver alertness, Genesis also benefits from a
world-first technology in its CO2 sensor
control system, located under the glove box. Hyundai engineers discovered
that occupants start to get drowsy when CO2
levels reached more than 2,000 parts per million, so the ventilation system
helps ensure the cabin maintains a CO2
concentration well below that level at all times using freshly-ventilated
ambient air. The system monitors the vehicle’s intake of fresh or
re-circulated air using a dedicated CO2
sensor.
The Genesis also offers a parking assistance system with
eight ultrasonic sensors located on the front and rear bumpers. The
sensors, along with the rearview camera, help detect how close objects are
when parking. Distance is indicated on the in-dash screen and accompanied
by an audible warning tone.
NVH REDUCTION
In pursuit of refined quietness within the Genesis cabin,
Hyundai engineers analyzed idle noise and vibration, acceleration, road and
wind noise, and audible booming throughout the bodyshell. Sound-absorbing
materials and a low-noise fuel pump have been fitted, cowl bulkhead
insulation and sealing improved, and vibrations minimized through an
improvement in overall bodyshell rigidity. Insulation of the rear
differential helps reduce booming and vibration, resulting in lower audible
noise inside the Genesis passenger cabin.
During acceleration,
sound quality has been achieved through mid- to high-frequency noise
reduction, and dynamic engine sound improvements were achieved through
intake and exhaust system tuning.
DRIVER CONVENIENCE
TECHNOLOGIES
Most Genesis competitors with hands-free
trunk-opening technology use a leg-kick sensor under the rear bumper to
enable the driver to open the trunk. Hyundai ergonomics engineers found
this method to be difficult when an individual is carrying cumbersome
packages, such as from shopping. So the Genesis Smart Trunk system was
designed to open the trunk automatically if the smart key is detected in a
pocket or purse within a few feet of the rear bumper for longer than three
seconds, for maximum hands-free ease of opening when desired. This system
allows the driver to keep both feet comfortably on the ground, simply
waiting by the trunk a few seconds for it to open automatically. The Smart
Trunk system also provides an audible warning and flashing light prior to
opening.
Taking inspiration from aircraft technology, an
available Head’s-Up Display (HUD) projects a virtual image onto the
windshield, enabling the driver to keep his or her eyes on the road using a
system of mirrors combined with a TFT LCD display. The system utilizes a
wide screen with adjustable brightness to ensure both excellent daytime and
nighttime visibility. Driving information such as speed, Smart Cruise
Control status, navigation, Blind Spot Detection, Forward Collision
Warning, speed limit, Lane Departure Warning and audio system data is
projected at a perceived virtual distance approximately six feet ahead of
the driver for maximum legibility while driving.
Genesis also
offers an electronic parking brake with Automatic Vehicle Hold for
convenience when driving in traffic. Automatic Vehicle Hold automatically
holds the Genesis at a stop until the accelerator pedal is depressed, such
as at a traffic signal or in stopped traffic. The vehicle hold re-engages
whenever the vehicle is brought to a complete stop. Genesis also includes
proximity-key entry convenience with push-button start as standard
equipment.
MEDIA AND NAVIGATION SYSTEMS
For audiophiles, Genesis offers an ultra-premium,
Lexicon® Discrete Logic 7 Surround audio system with 17
speakers, Logic 7 Surround Sound processing and 12-channel digital
amplifier with 900-watts of equivalent output, sure to satisfy the most
demanding listeners. This system also includes SiriusXM® Radio,
HD Radio, and iPod/USB auxiliary media input jacks. The standard Lexicon
system offers 14 speakers, with Discrete Logic 7 Surround processing and a
12-channel DSP amplifier with 900-watts of equivalent output.
An
optional premium DIS navigation system for Genesis offers a 9.2-inch High
Definition display, with 720p high definition (a segment first), a 64GB
Solid State Drive (SSD) for multimedia, and premium Lexicon audio system.
This premium system also includes Gracenote® album art, junction
view with lane guidance, advanced voice recognition, and music/image/video
storage via USB download (approximately 30GB of usable storage).
The standard audio-navigation system, displayed by an 8.0-inch
touchscreen, is packed with integrated technology, from Bluetooth to
navigation, satellite and HD radio, hands-free and app-supporting
software.
Genesis cluster displays utilize high-resolution,
electroluminescent TFT LCD technology, with a standard 4.3-inch TFT LCD
cluster display, and an available 7.0-inch TFT LCD cluster display.
A simple pop-up message appears to help pair a phone and the voice
recognition software understands street addresses and cities all in one
sentence. The route screen displays speed limits, details the next three
maneuvers, shows real highway signage and has junction views with lane
guidance. Lane guidance outlines the lane or lanes the driver needs to stay
in when a highway splits. Junction view uses street and actual road sign
images to match what the driver will see when arriving at the next
maneuver.
