2016 Genesis Coupe

2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Pros: Strong features-per-dollar quotient; nimble handling, peppy acceleration

Cons: Stiff ride, especially in R-Spec models; not as crisp or refined as some other sporty rear-wheel-drive coupes; turbocharged 4-cylinder engine no longer available

2015 Genesis Coupe

CG Says: Hyundai’s sporty rear-wheel-drive coupe loses its turbocharged 4-cylinder engine for 2015, leaving the 348-horsepower V6 as the lone engine choice. Other changes for 2015 include standard LED running lights, and standard climate control and keyless entry/starting for the R-Spec model. Genesis Coupe’s assets include capable rear-drive handling, ample standard equipment, affordable pricing, and Hyundai’s generous warranty. Though it lacks the American-muscle mystique of the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger, and Ford Mustang and is a less involving “driver’s car” than the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ, the Genesis Coupe is a well-rounded sporty/performance machine that offers good value for the money.
