Hyundai recently had a successful launch of its second-gen Genesis sedan. The new Genesis is highly praised for its beautiful styling and well-built cabin, in addition to the abundance of technology and of course the V8. And now, as per the news, the new Genesis Coupe will be based on the same upmarket platform of the Genesis Sedan instead of the affordable positioning like the previous-gen.
Expected to be released in 2017, the new Genesis coupe will abandon the 2.0 liter engine to compete with the luxury German coupes. Also, for the first time, the Genesis Coupe will feature a V8 engine to entice the performance coupe buyers. The new car will be a proper 4-seater rear-wheel-drive with an optional AWD system.
The engine options will be the same as the Genesis sedan and include the 3.8 V6 producing 311 BHP and 5.0 V8 producing 420 BHP. Though, the power could be bumped for the coupe.
