Don't let the Genesis nameplate confuse you, the Genesis coupe is a very different car from Hyundai's outstanding rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan. The Genesis coupe is a rear-wheel drive coupe that has more in common with performance coupes like the Ford Mustang, Nissan 370Z and Chevrolet Camaro than it does any other mid-sized coupe in the price range. Genesis Coupes equip a 348-bhp V6 under the hood. A variety of trim levels includes the enthusiast-oriented track models and the R-Spec package aimed at tuners. The Genesis coupe equipped with a six-speed manual is one of the best performance values on the market.

The 2.0l four-cylinder has been dropped from the lineup. The Grand Touring trim level has been discontinued.
