Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0 Turbo Sport test

The Hyundai Coupe has relaunched its on the list by entering an entirely new model and, unbelievable, with rear-wheel drive. With this technical detail, not least, is aimed at those looking for something more driving and love the sport the old fashioned way: those with heart and to drive the accelerator.

Proposal in the United States, where we compare on the same land of the Ford Mustang, now aims to win over users of the European market with a full-featured and included a 5-year warranty with unlimited mileage. Hyundai has revamped its style in a profound way and the new Genesis Coupe is the daughter of the new stylistic trends of the Korean house.

In fact, the lines have the taste of this sport which also characterizes the European and the most recent ix20 ix35. With a body length of 4.63 meters from the car, the Genesis is a car with a sleek aggressive front, sides and a muscular "side b" full of personality. In view of the headlights and the front lower air intake converge downwards accentuating the dynamic effect, the side stand the large rear wheel and the little side window extended downwards, while in the queue dual tailpipes integrated into the low bumper denotes a sporty character.

Lying on the large 19-inch wheels, the Genesis offers a glance significant and represents a concrete step forward from the previous Coupe shorter and narrower than 23 cm by 11 cm. You can not say definitely that the Genesis Coupe is a car with a cramped cabin and sacrificed under the guide.

Rather, the sporty Hyundai House provides an enviable living by the front passengers of a large space in all directions, while those who sit behind the seats are real and not simply folding. Looking at the soft plastic that covers the dashboard and door panels, leather seats and center console is understood that the Hyundai pulls new air, and that the ambition of the Korean manufacturer is to provide important content to put in difficulties, the main competition.

The instrumentation, with the two cups placed in front of the steering wheel chrome outline is quick and easy to consult, as needed on a sport, while at the center of the dashboard we find the radio controls and air conditioning. The trunk has a good load capacity corresponding to 284 dm3, but its shape and the high load threshold require careful placement of luggage after all this is still a sport and we must accept some compromise.

If I happen to see a Genesis scenes in the upcoming Fast and Furious I would not be surprised, with the 2-liter turbo engine from 213 hp and rear wheel drive does not take much to show off his temper. The response to the gas pedal is immediate and beyond the declared values, for the record, indicate an acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 8 seconds and a top speed of 222 km / h, the Genesis offers a guide by connoisseurs agree to the rear wheels to ground all the power of the supercharged engine.

It takes very much attention to guide a free rein, but after a while 'fellowship practice dispenses large doses of adrenaline due to an overall balance that allows you to manage with the drift gas, obviously this is a practice to be carried out in circuit But it is precisely at this juncture that the Korean sports shows her sporty side.

On the other hand, has a structure that allows you to travel comfortably and a comfortable and spacious interior. In the general context the change is more prone to this behavior, since in the most extreme maneuvers can be obstinate, but the six-speed transmission allows for good to stretch all of the 213 HP 4 cylinder turbo.

Speaking of consumption on a car like this is unnecessary, wanting to do two calculations, however, driving carefully, you can travel 9 kilometers per liter, sometimes even 10, but resist the temptation to lunge or a desire to hear the voice of 2 liters in full acceleration, it is very difficult.

It takes € 29,900 to get behind the wheel of the Genesis Coupe, but the figure is not excessive considering the contents of the car, in fact, it is even inviting .. In fact, spending the indicated price, you get into a car have almost full options, which includes standard equipment that included accessories ranging from metallic paint to the electric sunroof.

Do not miss the leather seats, aluminum sports pedals, a rear limited-slip differential lock and 19-inch alloy wheels. But the list is endless, and the only accessory missing is the navigation system. Moreover, like other Hyundai, the Genesis has the 5-year warranty with unlimited mileage, 5 years and 5 years of roadside assistance free of controls.
