Hyundai Genesis (2009 - 2014) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Love this Car, Just burnt out the drivers side heated seat and the NAV screen has faded to the point of no return. Silver overlay on the door handles are peeling off and creating kind of a hazard for people trying to get out of the car. Could easily cut themselves. Its an old car but drives like a dream machine, Very smooth and solid vehicle. I would buy a G80 if I had the money.Nov 08, 2022

The Hyundai Genesis had not even entered my thoughts when I started looking at used Nissan Maxima, Toyota Camry and Lexus ES 350’s. I happened to test drive one that I saw at a dealership and was totally surprised by this model. The fact that it drives like a dream and is standard with loads of bells and whistles, yet doesn’t carry the overbearing price tag of euro luxury car made it my new target. The 3.8 liter is incredibly responsive and still averages 23 mpg certainly adds to its appeal also. Wry happy to have found what I wanted.May 15, 2021

My 2009 Genesis has 89,000 miles and it still looks great! I love the way it handles, its strong & responsive engine, and its classy interior. It flies effortlessly & smoothly down the highway and the stereo sound is perfection! In 2009, Hyundai was still playing catch-up in terms of execution refinement. The steering wheel auto-positioning feature has a glitch. The radio receivers Sirius reception needs to be refreshed every time it is selected. The trunk lid is very heavy, though I have not attempted to adjust it, if it is even possible. All that said, I love my Genesis. A great used vehicle value!Apr 21, 2020

Hyundai has come a long way since the 80's. This car is comparable to the Lincoln Town Car as far as quality, space, ride and size. This has a slightly smaller wheel base than the Lincoln and smaller cargo capacity, but the interior is just as spacious. The drivetrain is far more powerful than the Lincoln even though they use the same 4.6L v8. the difference is the Lincoln has about 245hp where this has around 370hp. the 6 speed auto really helps with fuel economy. I have gotten between 24 and 35 MPG on the highway. At first when I was introduced to this car I figured it would be your typical transverse FWD configuration. But then i learned it was a RWD with a v8. In a Hyundai.. I was completely shocked that the quality that went into this car was almost that of a lower end Mercedes. the overall performance was that of a sports car, but the smooth floating ride of a old sedan. this car is by far the best I have ever had and the only thing I would trade it for would be for the 5.0 version.Nov 23, 2014

If you are looking for affordable luxury at an affordable price, then you need not look any further. This car performs like a luxury sports car and has the looks and drive of a mid size mercedes. the interior is well apointed and options are driver friendly. The cost of ownership is very reaonable, gas mileage averages 27(mph)Hwy and 22(mph)city. The only maintenance needed during 26000 miles has been routine oil changes and tire rotations. Driving this car makes you smile! Jan 10, 2011
