The Hyundai Genesis sedan just doesn't live up to lofty expectations - Business Insider
Rather than make you read the whole article to find out, I’ll give you the tl. dr version right here—it’s because this $50,000 Genesis doesn’t feel that different from a $32,000 Sonata Limited. And as both cars feel similar inside and out, why spend the additional $20K for the 2015 Hyundai Genesis. Sure, this Genesis features aluminum trim, puddle lamps that display the Genesis logo, and a powerful infotainment system, but it lacks the premium feel its $50,000 price tag demands. The leather in the Genesis feels identical to that of the Sonata, for example, as does the cheap-looking (and cheap-feeling) plastic. But since both cars are tuned with a nod to efficiency, the actual drive doesn’t feel that much different. Power delivery is smooth, but given the Genesis’ sporting pretensions, I want a more forceful shove. And despite Hyundai’s claims of a sport-tuned chassis, this Genesis isn’t a car that encourages a spirited romp through the bends. The steering lacks the directness I need from a sports car, and overall it just feels too big and heavy for corner carving. Hyundai’s Genesis does have a ton of tech inside its spacious cabin, including a high-end. Source: www.businessinsider.com
