Overview
The 2011 Hyundai Genesis is a midsize sedan offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $33,000. For that price, it mainly competes with the Lincoln MKZ, the Cadillac CTS, and the Lexus ES 350. Between 2 trims, the Genesis sedan offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.8L V6 capable of making 290 horsepower and 264 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 385 horsepower-making 4.6L V8 engine. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Genesis reaches 60 mph from zero in 6.2 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 5.9 seconds with the 4.6L V8 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Genesis can manage a combined fuel economy between 21 and 20 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the Genesis comes in really pull you towards itself.
