The Hyundai Genesis holds a few distinctions for the company. Along with the most luxurious and most powerful vehicle Hyundai has ever introduced, the Genesis is also the most expensive and its first vehicle ever to offer rear-wheel drive. In the future, a Genesis coupe will join Hyundai lineup and will take on the powerhouses of the sport coupe segment such as the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. The Hyundai Genesis comes with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and gets an estimated 25-27 mpg on the highway.
The 2009 Hyundai Genesis is the 2009 Autotropolis Car of the Year.
