Vehicle Overview
Hyundai made a host of updates to its rear-wheel-drive Genesis Coupe last year, including a gaping hexagon grille more power from the two available engines. The four-seat Genesis Coupe competes against sporty cars as divergent as the Ford Mustang and Honda Civic Si.
New for 2014
Cruise control, heated side mirrors, fog lights and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink controls are now standard. The standard manual transmission adds a hill start feature designed to prevent the car from rolling backward while the available automatic transmission gains a downshift rev-match feature.
