The second generation of the Hyundai Genesis was introduced at the 2014 North American Auto Show in Detroit.
The acclaimed premium sedan came with a long list of options and with more technology than before.

The Genesis was already moving towards becoming a separate premium brand for the Korean car-maker. The new generation stood out from the rest of the Hyundai range due to its very different design language. The 3D-hexagonal grille is depicted in semi-gloss chrome and includes the HID headlamps, LED turning lights and fog-lights. The taillights are full LED with a design like hexagonal-diamond cut.

Comfort is at high standards, due to the classic platform architecture, with the engine up-front and RWD, allowing a big wheelbase of 3010 mm (118.5 in). The total length of the car is 4990 mm (196.5 in). For the dashboard, the Hyundai Genesis utilizes a high-resolution TFT LCD technology, with a standard 4.3-inch TFT LCD cluster display. As an option, there is a 7.0-inch display available.

The base engine is 3.0-liter V6 gasoline with 257 hp and 304 Nm (224 lb.ft) of torque, while the top engine offered is a 5.0-liter V8 gasoline unit with a power of 420 hp and 520 Nm (383 lb.-ft) of torque. This sends its power either to the rear wheels or to an all-wheel-drive system via an 8-speed automatic transmission designed in-house by Hyundai.
