I work and a Hyundai dealership and I can tell that the Genesis Coupe is my favorite car they make hands down.

I have genesis 3.8 grand touring. It's beautiful and also great performance. I love it!! since 2013... I still want to keep for a while. The steering and engine.. even the interior is so awesome.

I really like this review! Very honest and as a consumer I want to know all the pros/cons and updates compared to the older models. Also good to hear how it compares to other specific competitors. Good job autoguide!

Your HD video quality ROCKS! Love your channel!

It's already out... I drove a 2.0 2013 yesterday.. loved it. So fast and beautiful.

Good review. I like that Hyundai is continuing to take chances like this in the automotive market. It keeps everyone else on their toes and hopefully we'll start to see more affordable rear drive sports coupes come out in the near future.

I own the 2013 track 3.8 and like the new grill style

does this come also with dual clutch transmission ?

I agree one hundred percent. Over the past few years Hyundai has been really improving their quality making their company one of the best in the market now a days. Yeah there are some kinks that they have to workout, but none the less they have improving their brand to the extent that it is now in some of the competition with the European luxury brands.

That blue is to die for! ah, so beautiful!

I a 13 2.0t coupè, at for 24k nothing can beat it in terms of value and performance (brand new of course), what i find more impressive is hyundai ability to update the coupe abilities in such a short amount of time(considering that they really dont have any history with sport oriented cars) . Cant wait to see what the 2nd generation coupe has in stored.

To Hyundai Worldwide: This is the best car in your lineup, hands down. I've driven the 2.0T Premium and I almost don't wanna pay the price premium for the 3.8 liter V6. THAT is how good it is. I like its look both inside and out and both of its engines being able to run fine on regular octane is a big cost savings over time.

Bought one on my 50th birthday! Parabolic blue manual. YOLO! Have to wait 2 months, so excited.

Love my 2012 Genesis. Hoping for a V8 to end up in the coupe eventually.

I have to say I still enjoy my 2013, 3.8 (Grand Touring which means loaded and installed factory wing). It's a very solid car even with 29,000+ miles on it 😀. And garaged it's whole life... I've had over 40 cars (& trucks) in my 50 years of driving (some very nice) but seriously, this is only one of two I believe is🍒. My other was a '79 Z28 manufactured in California which I later found out was a good thing rated top dogs for production quality and longevity.

i like this bodystyle better than the newest one

The Genny coupe looks GREAT! Now it's even better with more features and more power. Shoreline Drive Blue Pearl isn't my first choice of color, though. The only turbo Hyundai that doesn't feel like a disappointment right out of the box. I like it.

hows the rev hang? i didnt like the accelerator or clutch

I don't know about you, but I LOVE the new look!

Hyundai has been awarded many times for how they have evolved in such a small amout of time.......transmission and engine has been transformed

Shinla83. Car is automatic, brake held and throttle brought up until wheels wanted to spin. How do you do it Superstar? Also note the paddle shift has quite a delayed effect.

I got one preordered black 2.0 premium 6 spd just because I would enjoy a nice bit of power and still be able to great day to day driver but I also have my 2011 zx6r to quench the hunger for speed

Great review guys. Leave it to the good old canadians to do car reviews right! Keep these long hd informative reviews up!!!!!

@dhan219 not really good numbers for a 350 hp car, does this thing have a huge curb weight?

You are right! I think this car is really pushing 335hp. It is 3400-3550 weight. BMW 335is 320hp is 0 to 60 4.8 sec and 13.3 in the mile. A v6 305hp mustang best time was 5.1 Quarter mile 13.7 sec @ 102.0 mph for 25 grand. Give it 30hp and see what the mustang gives you.

Not only I drove subarus and Hyundais, but all kinds of cars, until 3 years ago I was one fo the test engineer for Goodyear. Not only I "drove" the cars but I tested them with equipments (telemetry, gyroscopes, accelerometers, torque sensor, LVDT's , etc). I guarantee you that I know exactly what I'm saying. The tests you see in magazines aren't 1% accurate or complicated as the tests I use to run. I miss those days...We did suspension endurance tests with Subarus and Hyundais some years ago.

Say what you will about this Coupe. I just drove home in my 2013 with the 2.0t. The car is very responsive and has a set of medium sized BALLS. The turbo four cylinder engine will make change your mind about a small engine. The V6 is a beast for sure. I was looking for something better on gas with some style. I got it too 276 hp is good enough for me. Great car folks...

this car is just gorgeous. i wish i could put the exterior shell of this car over a gt86/brz.

Most beautiful Hyundai product on the market today!

Awesome video, great work.

It's still a great looking car, and the best Hyundai on the market yet. GP Gray is one of its best colors. I never thought i'd say this but the turbo-4 is potent enough that i almost don't want to pay the price premium for the V6. A really good thing is both engines can drink 87 octane, which is a generous cost savings over time. This car and the new Azera go a long way to making up for the Sonata's lack of a V6 engine.

Next generation genesis will have a V8 for sure, but cant really complain with those new numbers on the v6 and i4turbo for now, just got to get used to that new front, but seems like everyone is going for that style, hated it on mazda but now its growing on me.

It really depends on your budget and driving style. I feel the brz is more of an adult car because of HID and nav standard. The fr-s/brz handles better but lacks in power. Also the Genesis R-spec costs a bit more but you get brembo brakes and lsd. Whereas lsd is standard in the frs/brz. Best advice is drive both and pick the one you like.

I went to my dealership and they said I cant get that blue colour, is that wrong or whats going on with that

I think it looks awesome in Black Noir Pearl. Make mine in that color with the 2.0T with the 8-speed AT.

WOW! :D such a beautiful car! Along with power and styling. And the blue color is absolutely STUNNING! :) Another out of the park car from Hyundai

That is beautiful. I love the blue!

I have a 2011 3.8 track model with a few suspension and performance mods. I've zero buyer's remorse. Fun car that handles well (have been to Deals Gap more times than I can count). I drove a 2013 3.8 R-spec and it is better all around. The car looks better in person but the fake hood vents must go ! Also wish it were lighter.

couldn't agree more so many people downgrade hyundai because of their name, but they actually are coming out with some great cars.

@CaptainLumpyDog i disagree. he always does a good job

Of course they are in a different class, but if people are going to compare them as equals (and that discussion takes place more than you think) it's only fair to point out the lead by which the G37 has over the Genesis Coupe in terms of quality and performance. I wish the Genesis Coupe was around when I bought my first car, it's a beautiful car (new front end aside).

i dont know i kinda like the idea of the bigger grill, makes make wonder about after market replacements, im not sure im just trying to think positive about it.

Anyone know if this car is roomy enough for somone who is 6'4"? I need a lot of width.

I do think that when more options and a drop in prices become available for the BRZ/Scion models that they will probably make for some fun tuner/mod cars, but then so will the GC.. Also currently from the Toyota website there is at least a 8 month wait to get a hold of a 86 and that is only projected at this point. Could be less or more time and they wont quote any prices online or over phone for it as of yet where i live.

I love my genesis:]

hmmm, but I like the Tiburons though. But most agree with you, a lot of people prefer the older genesis coupe front. It just looks sharpers and cleaner.

Is that the same engine as the kia amanti/opirus?

Hyundai is smashing it It would make a great 2nd or track day car

Whats the price range for the 2.0T?

Good job! Never considered a Hyundai before, but since BMW is optioning me to death, I might have to consider the Gen Coupe as my next fun car

Hmm, can't really decide if I like the front of it or not. I have an 07 Tiburon GT, which is what was phased out to bring in the Genesis Coupe. Love my car but wanting something sportier.

so the 370z has something to worry about, but infinity doesn't? Please tell me what infinity has?

Now the reason I say it's Erroneous, if you read the Gencoupe forums where people wished to build the 2.0 Turbo engine hyundai made, it will show you how many people ran into problems and blew their engines easier than expected despite Hyundai advertising the car as "made for upgrading" It is claimed to be due to the head design not being able to handle increased boost. hopefully the problem is fixed with the newer 250hp+ versions.

This is one of the best cat Hyundai ever made looks so agressive. Does anyone know when it suppose to come out?

I think that Hyundai has improved a lot in terms of quality in the last years, but it still needs to prove itself. I had a Elantra and although it had a beautiful exterior, it was poorly made. Cheap materials (where you cannot see). I think they are improveing but cannot compare with a subaru yet. Subarus are not nice looing cars but it's a hell of a reliable one. I test drove a 2.0 turbe genesis yesterday. Nice car, plenty of power, nice sound. I'm still thinking about it or a camaro LT.

Kitchen appliances is a side hustle. Hyundai builds some badass cars.

@writher36 all manufacturers are going GDI, GDI is the future for more power and better fuel economy, even honda said it will soon go GDI.

I've liked Hyundai since I got my Tiburon 4 years ago, and think it'd be awesome to upgrade to one of these instead. The front fascia looks good to me, kinda reminds of a GTR. Yeah I said it.

Similarly, other American car companies such as Ford and Chevrolet were putting out cars that hadn't changed in years. For the most part, American cars received visual updates, but no improvements were made in fuel efficiency and reliability. Japanese cars, in relation, fared exceptionally well in these two categories, and as a result were popular in the U.S. Market. I feel Japanese companies aren't falling behind, rather, American companies are catching up. The Japanese have always been known

I hope this refresh will sell more I don't know. I know sport coupes are niche' anyway but its not a bad car.

damn, i love that finish of the video

Also, have you looked closely at those 3 gauges on the centre stack? I'll fill you in on those as I've seen the car in person at an auto show. They are "Fuel Economy", "Torque" or "Boost PSI", and "Oil Temperature". Fuel economy gauge, yes, makes sense because you want to see how much fuel you're saving in a sports car (LOL). Torque doesn't make sense, but boost/psi does. Oil temps are good to view, but why put on the centre stack out of the driver's line of sight?

We get it guys, hyundai's new design is either love it or hate it look. I personally like the new look.

how much does it cost in europe

I dont see why people are complaining about the front. I think it look just fine. Beautiful car!!

show us the scion fr-s next!

i want this for my future car

yes. they are both derived from the same Mitsubishi engine. (actually hyundai borrowed Mitsu's design, and that block has been around for the past 20 years.) but it's not 100% the same. and unfortunately the changes made to it by hyundai are erroneous from a tuning perspective. its a fine car if you leave it stock.

As for the 86 it better be far better than the rushed underpowered versions in the Scion and Subaru models. While the handling of the BRZ (i test drove before my GC 2013 purchase) was lack luster in pulling thru gears and over all excitement when i smash the peddle down and want to throw out the tail end. Honestly i cant even consider comparing the two cars they are very different other than being rear wheel drive cars..

I love this car glad that they revamped it. Its so nice now! what bugged me is how he pronounced Nissan and Hyundai >.

love this car man

This engine is tbe 2012 body style would be awesome. though, the major refresh has grown on me. the 2012 has more of a traditional sports car look where the new one has more of a Asian sports car look.

We test drove a 2013 turbo coupe with automatic transmission. Mashing the throttle from a standstill was the most disappointing moment of my life. The car nearly stalled. The transmission also seemed to have some confusion on which of the 8 gears it wanted to drop to when passing. This was definitely not a car you can steer with the throttle. Love our Sonata but the Genesis was a big let down..

Can't wait for a Cosworth version!

@shadowsburnme Why not compare the two? After all, they are very similar in that they are entry-level, RWD, Front-Engine sports cars. They are even close in their price range.

i think if they ditched the plastic vents and instead used metal/cage-like vents like on aston martins, it would look really nice

@willowcairns Damn right! like i saw one in our neighborhood yesterday newly bought without the no. plate yet haha

I love the genesis coupe!!

I can't and won't dispute that BMW outsells lexus, I said the IS was one of the best selling luxury sedans in America, not the best. In addition, although I can agree that Hyundai, Kia, and Ford are making huge changes in their car lineups i don't really see any changes in VW and Chrysler.

It's great till you too the front then it gets all weird but honestly its kinda growing on me but its gunna take while actually for the new front end to catch on

that ''boat'' costs the sam as the brz, is way faster on the 1/4 mile, also faster on the track and more comfortable. :)

my point was when they are in different class, its not fair to compare them. and plus fully loaded manual* gen coupe is 35k and g37 with options like gen coupe will be about 55k and ofc if i had the money i would get g37...

The only thing they REALLY should have left alone is the front bumper (I own a 2010) it just cheapens the car a bit and doesnt make it look cool or mean, kinda makes it look cheap like a KIA Rio...however there is a designer company called Tomato that does some really cool front end kits for KDM.

my X PornStar roomate has got a 2006 FOOSE Stang I bought her. We raced from a roll of around 40mph and I smoked her. Now my Genesis is deceptively fast especially in the midrange and I have driven a new Vette/Mustang/Lambo. I would say the Lambo is the only car that can keep up.

I'd argue you'd use power more often than flying around curves in general driving.

I like the fact that Hyundai provides the Genesis Coupe as an alternative to the Mustang/Camaro/Challenger since that 3 sided argument gets old and annoying.

@highflyer4 5.3 and 13.6 in mile inside line just did a real test.

Considering the new FT86 is expected to cost around $25k, it makes no sense not to buy this instead

There is an average of a 10k difference in price between the two. But my point is that the Genesis isn't equal to the quality standards of the Infiniti, despite what some people might like to tout. Performance wise, in a straight line at any rate, the gap is closer. But like I said, the next-gen G should be interesting based on the partnership with Mercedes...

I'm not saying I don't admire aspects of the Genesis Coupe (it does have a nice exterior, aside from that new heinous grill, the drive leaves something to be desired though), I was simply replying to the comments about Infiniti having to "worry". They'll play catch-up and Infiniti will move another few steps away.

great product for the money in all categories

Yamaha took a part in the project to make sure the notes that excel out of the LFA, are to what the designers wanted.

It's either the BRZ or this for me. But considering the roads I mostly drive on, Genesis would be the one. Decisions, decisions...

Hope you know that EVO engine is essentially one from Hyundai As does Hyundai... Hyundai builds the strongest and biggest cargo boats on the planet.

they should put a genesis r specs engine in this beast and this beast will be a real beast

this is freaking sharp, beautiful, sexy, and fast ! I'd love to get it one day :) nice review

I dont know about Cars, but when I saw this Car,. . I fell in love .. . and want to buy in the future :D

it IS very much enjoyable to drive this car. two thumbs up for hyundai

But will it blend?

I love my Genesis R-SPEC. It smokes V-8 mustangs and does 120mph like nothing. I drove a VERT VETTE and LAMBO and this thing feels faster then the vette and almost as fast as the LAMBO Gallardo I drove in LV. Only thing maybe is shifter could be slightly shorter throw.
