Hold on to your socks, folks.
Hyundai is about to blow those suckers clean off.
Months ahead of its "official" unveiling at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Hyundai recently showcased its next generation Genesis sedan in Seoul, South Korea. Mong-Koo Chung, Hyundai's global CEO and President, announced that the new 2015 Hyundai Genesis will aggressively compete with other luxury brands such as the Cadillac CTS, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Lexus GS, by offering all-wheel drive. By all accounts, Hyundai is aiming to move the 2015 Genesis from concept car to reality.
While specific details are limited, Hyundai of Louisville has managed to uncover some important details:
The new 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan is expected to be 0.2 inch longer than its predecessor, while the wheelbase is expected to grow by three inches to 118.5 (with a length of 196.5). The new Genesis will still offer both a 3.8-liter V-6 and a 5.0-liter V-8 engine. Similarly, it will also include its signature, smooth-as-silk eight-speed automatic transmission. Horsepower output for the 2015 models are expected to be similar to the 2013-2014 models (333 for V-6 and 429 for V-8). Likewise, speed is rumored to be similar to previous editions with the 5.0 going from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1-6.0 seconds with a top speed estimated at 130-150 mph. This is an especially impressive feat considering the 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan is believed to weigh in at a hefty 4050-4550 lbs. Among the most anticipated unveilings at the NAIAS in Detroit is Hyundai's next generation Blue Link telematic system - available in the new Genesis Sedan.
Car enthusiasts may remember that when the 2009 Genesis was introduced to the American market, its styling, performance, and aggressive pricing sent shock waves through the auto industry. One look at these new pictures and it appears that history will soon repeat itself. We can't wait!
