hyundai genesis review

The Hyundai Genesis (the 2015–2017 luxury sedan, not the later standalone brand saga) is a left‑field limo that does the quiet‑comfort thing better than many with fussier badges. Its 3.8‑litre V6, ~232 kW/397 Nm, and smooth 8‑speed push it along briskly, while rear‑drive manners and a plush cabin make long trips feel almost too short. Standard kit was lavish for the money—safety tech, leather, and a proper hush—earning it a 5‑star ANCAP at the time. Downsides? It’s thirsty (expect low‑to‑mid‑teens L/100km in traffic), the infotainment now feels its age, and badge snobs may still clutch their pearls. The upside is value: used examples often land around $20k–$35k, with running costs manageable if you service on schedule.
