The overview
The 2015 redesign brought the option of all-wheel drive for the V6, along with an updated and more-luxurious interior and advanced safety systems. Power output for the V6 engine was increased and the Genesis got a new 429-horsepower V8. While this engine demands premium fuel, it also elevates the Hyundai into the realm of performance sedans. Ride quality is much improved over previous versions, regardless of the engine choice, but the performance tires offered with the big V8 increase road noise. Smart cruise control and a rear-view camera are part of the optional Technology Package.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
