The
2012 Hyundai Genesis is now offered with your choice of three powerful engines, an all-new 8-speed automatic transmission and a new range-topping model, the Genesis 5.0 R-Spec, that puts 429 hp at your command. In addition to the impressive Tau 4.6L V8, the
2012 Genesis is available with a new 5.0L high-performance Tau V8 that generates 429 hp and 376 lb.ft. of torque. This Genesis design features Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) for more power, increased fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Industry acclaim for this new V8 has been as swift as its acceleration: Like the 4.6L in 2009 and 2010, the 5.0L is a winner of Ward’s 10 Best Engines for 2011.

In just a few years,
Genesis engines have received awards and acclaim for their design, power and sophistication. And now these engines are matched with a new 8-speed SHIFTRONIC automatic transmission that handles every driving situation with unobtrusive ease. For this new 2012 Genesis model, we started with the award-winning 5.0L Tau V8, then added a sport-tuned suspension, 19-inch premium machined finish alloy wheels and tires. Distinctive headlights with dark chrome inserts plus R-Spec badging on the exterior of the vehicle and the floor mats complete the transformation.

The
Genesis Interior Feature sound of the 3.8L V6 engine has been muted by a maintenance-free, steel silent timing chain. Sound dampening innovations like these make for a quieter cabin. Perhaps we should make some noise for our team of accomplished acoustic engineers. And for those times when quiet just won’t cut it, the Genesis gives you options. Power-up the exclusive 528 watt Lexicon 7.1 Discrete Surround Sound Audio System with 17 speakers and experience the most sophisticated audio system in the Genesis’s class. Connecting music sources to the audio system is a snap with standard iPod/USB and auxiliary input jacks and a power outlet located in the center console box.
