5 reasons to buy the 2015 Hyundai Genesis

1. Powerful V6 and V8 engine options 

Are you shopping for a 2015 Genesis with a four-, six-, or eight-cylinder engine for your daily driver, family sedan, or weekend ride? There is a 2015 Genesis engine that will meet your needs. With rear-wheel-, all-wheel-, or four-wheel-drive options, your driving experience will shift into another gear. The 2015 Hyundai Genesis comes standard with a 3.8L V6 311-hp engine, while the 2015 Genesis R Spec Coupe's 5.0L V8 offers 420 hp. 

2. Sleek, elegant body design 

Hyundai engineers made some body styling changes to the 2015 Genesis. You'll love the look of the new front grille, and redesigned headlights and tail lamps, for an even more sophisticated road presence. The dual stainless steel exhaust ports and wrap-around lights give the 2015 Genesis sedan and coupe a refined yet sporty appearance.  

3. Comfortable, luxurious interiors 

The 2015 Genesis interior cabin is even more comfortable and luxurious than ever. A spacious 35 inches of rear seat legroom and new infotainment options enhance the driving and passenger experience. The headroom is a fraction of an inch lower compared to the 2014 model but remains ample at 38.1 inches. The center console layout got a facelift to add buttons and knobs to control the infotainment and climate control systems.  

4. Good looks inside and out 

The 2015 Genesis' ergonomic dashboard helps you or your front-seat passenger plan the best route to your destination and ensure the cabin is set to a comfortable temperature. You couldn't be blamed for envisioning yourself in the cockpit of a fighter jet with plush leather seating, multiple vehicle performance dials, and a seven-inch touchscreen display. On the outside, the 2015 Genesis Coupe is available in six eye-catching colorways, while the sedans are only available in conservative shades of black and grey.  

5. Loaded with premium features  

The 2015 Genesis is equipped with standard heated rear seats, a manual transmission, automatic cruise control, parking sensors, lane departure warnings, and a rearview camera. Want more? Some trim packages now offer a heads-up display and panoramic power sunroof. The available Infinity® 3 premium audio system features 10 speakers, a dual-voice coil subwoofer, and speed-adjusting volume control. Other premium options include a navigation system and heated seats.
