Jacksonville Hyundai Dealership Presents the 2010 Genesis

The 2010 Hyundai Genesis from our Palm Coast Hyundai dealership has effectively changed the game of luxury cars. This four-door Korean luxury model competes in an arena dominated by upscale Japanese and European brands. But with a starting price of $33,000, the 2010 Genesis seriously undercuts those competitors without sacrificing style, quality, performance or features.

When it was first introduced last year, the Genesis sedan won Hyundai its first North American Car of the Year award — a real sign of respect from the automotive press. But Hyundai hasn’t rested. For 2010, the Genesis carries several significant upgrades. Its suspension has been re-tuned to reduce body lean in tight corners, improving the car’s handling. An enhanced touch screen navigation system is now standard on V8 editions, and optional on V6 models. And an intelligent cruise control, designed to maintain a steady distance from the car ahead, is now available as an option.

But the Genesis sedan’s exceptional blend of high-end features with an affordable price is unique in the automotive market, and makes this sedan worth a look for many Palm Coast Hyundai consumers.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The rear-wheel-drive 2010 Hyundai Genesis is offered in two trim levels that are aligned with the engine offered. The base Genesis 3.8 includes 17-inch alloy wheels, foglights, full power accessories, power front seats (eight-way driver and four-way passenger), dual-zone automatic climate control, leather seating, heated front seats, keyless entry and ignition, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cruise controls, Bluetooth and a seven-speaker audio system with a CD player, satellite radio, iPod integration and an auxiliary audio jack.

The Genesis 3.8 can be further enhanced with the optional Premium package, which includes a sunroof, automatic windshield wipers, premium leather seating surfaces and interior trim, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a power rear sunshade, driver memory settings and a Lexicon 14-speaker surround-sound system with a six-CD changer and HD Radio. A Premium Navigation package (requires the Premium package) adds 18-inch wheels, a hard-drive-based navigation system with real-time traffic and a rear view camera.

The Genesis 4.6 includes all of the 3.8′s features, as well 18-inch wheels and the Premium and Premium Navigation packages. Optional for both the Genesis 3.8 and 4.6 is the optional Technology package that adds adaptive xenon headlights, front and rear parking sensors, an upgraded 17-speaker Lexicon audio system, a six-DVD changer and navigation system, Bluetooth, adaptive cruise control, a ventilated driver seat and an electronic parking brake with automatic vehicle hold. This package also includes the Driver Information System which integrates many of the Genesis’ system controls into one simple on-screen interface.

Powertrain

The Hyundai Genesis 3.8 is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 that produces 290 horsepower and 264 pound-feet of torque. The range-topping Genesis 4.6 features a 4.6-liter V8 with 375 hp and 333 lb-ft. A six-speed automatic with manual shift control sends the power to the rear wheels in both models.

Safety

All Hyundai Genesis sedans from Hyundai of St. Augustine feature anti lock disc brakes, stability and traction control, active front head restraints, front- and rear-seat side airbags and full-length head curtain airbags as standard safety equipment. At the track, the Genesis’ stopping distance from 60 mph registered 124 feet — a respectable distance for a 2-ton luxury sedan.

In government crash testing, the 2010 Hyundai Genesis scored a perfect five out of five stars for frontal and side-impact protection for all occupants. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also awarded the Genesis its highest score of “Good” for frontal-offset and side-impact protection, and even named it one of their Top Safety Picks for 2009.

Interior Design and Special Features

The cabin of the Hyundai Genesis is an exercise in luxurious appointment. This is especially true for 4.6 or fully loaded 3.8 models with their full complement of modern conveniences and top-notch interior materials. Even the brilliant and sharp electroluminescent gauges have an opulent feel.

The dashboard itself is comprised of several sweeping arcs that elegantly encapsulate the instrument panel and center stack controls. Despite the abundance of buttons on the dash, center console and steering wheel, taking command of these systems is simple and intuitive, thanks to the logical layout and easy to use controls.

The front seats of the Genesis provide plenty of padding and support to comfortably cradle the driver and passenger on long road trips, and the same can be said for the rear seats. In regard to the rear quarters, we were notably impressed by the ample head- and legroom, as they ably accommodated some of our tallest staffers. The rear seats afford a pass-through feature for longer items that won’t fit in the 15.9-cubic-foot trunk.
