AGGRESSIVE DESIGN TO MATCH DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE The Genesis Coupe strikes a menacing demeanor, with an aggressively designed front fascia, grille, headlights, LED daytime running lights, fog lights and hood with heat extractor cues. The side view reveals aggressive 18 and 19inch alloy wheel designs with deep dimensional sculpting. Finally, the rear taillights provide a visual spark via premium LED illumination. Traditional rear drive sport coupe proportions are clearly evident, with a long wheelbase and short front and rear overhangs producing a classic wedgelike profile. Genesis Coupe’s bodyside character line is an innovative “Z”shaped design that integrates seamlessly with a unique, dropbeltline rear window graphic. Heated outside mirrors, fog lights, and LED daytime running lights are standard on all Genesis Coupes.
Genesis Coupe’s arching roofline and tapering greenhouse highlight the exterior profile and emphasize the car’s broad shoulders and wide stance. To complete the aggressive sports car look, the depth between the fenders and the greenhouse is maximized. Large openings in the front fascia allow for optimal engine breathing coupled with an aggressive look. Dual asymmetrical exhaust tips integrated with the blackout rear diffuser treatment complete the performance message from the rear.
POWERTRAIN A highperformance 3.8liter, directinjected V6 engine is standard in all Genesis Coupes. This proven powerplant offers sophisticated engine technologies, with directinjection and dual continuously variable valve timing.
The 3.8liter Lambda DOHC V6 engine produces 348 peak horsepower at 6,400 RPM, with peak torque of 295 lb.ft. at 5,100 RPM on premium fuel. In addition, Lambdaengine antiknock technology gives this V6 the versatility to run on regular fuel whenever required. This directinjected engine will easily propel the Genesis Coupe from zero to 60 mph in the lower fivesecond range on its way to an impressive 149mph electronicallylimited top speed. The Lambda V6 intake system also employs an intake sound induction pipe into the cabin to ensure this engine’s aural character matches its visceral appeal.
To further broaden the power band, the 3.8liter engine uses Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (Dual CVVT) and a Variable Intake System (VIS) that helps cylinders breathe most efficiently at both low and high RPM. The combination of highpressure, preciselymetered direct injection with efficient cylinder breathing results in outstanding throttle response and offtheline acceleration coupled with remarkable fuel efficiency. The V6 engine uses an alloy block and cylinder heads for lighter weight and thermal efficiency and features durable, quiet timing chains with no scheduled maintenance.
All these technologies serve to give Genesis Coupe 3.8 an impressive powertoweight ratio of only 10.1:1, significantly lower than the more expensive Infiniti Q60 and BMW 435i.

* Ratings based on Premium Fuel
The V6 engine also features deep, baritonesounding dual catback exhaust to complement efficient breathing on the intake side. To ensure that all this power is evenly distributed to the pavement, Genesis Coupe also offers an available Torsen® limitedslip differential on RSpec and Ultimate models.
TRANSMISSIONS The automatic transmission has 8speeds, with standard paddleshifters for SHIFTRONIC® manualshifting capability. In addition, the 8speed automatic precisely revmatches engine RPM to the exact selectedgear speed, for smooth downshifts into corners and superb dynamic balance, while an easytoread LCD readout on the instrument panel shows the selected gear at all times for the driver. In addition to the steeringwheelmounted paddle shifters, the automatic offers shift capability via the shift lever according to individual driver preference.
The V6 engine is mated to a standard sixspeed manual transmission that features carbon synchronizer rings for smooth shift action and synchronizer durability. Each transmission has been specifically tuned to match the engine’s power and torque curve characteristics.
SPORTTUNED SUSPENSION No welltuned sport coupe chassis should give the perception of being overwhelmed by its powertrain, and Genesis Coupe is no exception to this rule. Spring, damper, and bushing ratings all have been precisely calibrated to match these powertrains with superb road feel, precise body motion control and good ride comfort. The rearwheel drive powertrain configuration provides a wellbalanced 56:44 fronttorear weight distribution.
Genesis Coupe employs a MacPherson strut duallink front suspension and a fivelink rear suspension setup. The front suspension is mounted to the body via a solid subframe that is lighter and stronger than a comparable multipiece component would be. To help reduce body roll and tune the Genesis Coupe’s atthelimit handling for maximum predictability, 23mm diameter front and 19mm diameter rear stabilizer bars are fitted.

2016 Genesis Coupe fivelink rear suspension
While all Genesis Coupe models offer a true reardrive sport coupe driving experience, the highperformance Genesis Coupe R Spec and Ultimate models raise the bar even higher with a differentiated, tracktuned suspension. The RSpec/Ultimate suspension features both firmer front spring rates (seven percent) and rear spring rates (11 percent), with matched damper rates. The Genesis Coupe RSpec/Ultimate models also deliver a significant increase in roll control over other versions of the Genesis Coupe via thicker stabilizer bars (24mm front/20mm rear). Genesis Coupes also use lowvelocitycontrol dampers for refined ride comfort coupled with excellent body control.
In addition, all RSpec and Ultimate models receive front strut camber adjustment bolts that can be installed in the front strut assembly at their owner’s discretion. These camber adjustment bolts allow approximately 1.5 degrees of negative front camber adjustment for sharper, more responsive apex turnin and reduction of understeer. Of course, superb Genesis Coupe structural rigidity sets the fundamental foundation for dynamic precision, regardless of specific suspension calibration.
STEERING Hydraulic, RPMsensing rackandpinion steering has been calibrated with a quick, 13.8:1 ratio, delivering both linear feel and agile response to driver inputs. This steering ratio yields intuitive steering response and precision. To further optimize driver ergonomics, tilt and telescopic adjustment is standard.
HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKING SYSTEMS Brembo® fourpiston calipers clamp down on faderesistant 13.4inch ventilated front brake rotors and 13inch ventilated rear rotors on both RSpec and Ultimate models. All other models get substantial 12.6inch front ventilated rotors and 12.4inch rotors in the rear with floating singlepiston calipers.
UPSCALE INTERIOR The Genesis Coupe interior offers distinctive, upscale features and design cues. For 2016, it adds a new premium, 6inch color display to the center stack. The leather steering wheel uses a premium grade of leather. The instrument panel cover features a stitchedseam appearance for a distinctly upscale look, and the parking brake lever is leatherwrapped on leatherequipped models. The instrument cluster features an electroluminescent gauge cluster for premium ambience and superior readability. A driverside rear seat walkin assist function provides convenient rear seat access from the driver’s side. Convenient seatbelt assist guides make it easy for front passengers to buckle up. Cruise control and floor mats are standard on all Genesis Coupes. A center stack multigauge cluster with instantaneous mpg, torque level, and oil temperature is standard on all trims. A center fascia tray with cover provides extra storage, and interior surfaces have a soft touch with low sheen for an upmarket feel. Sport front seats with deep side bolsters offer superb lateral support for enthusiastic driving in all trim configurations. RSpec seat bolsters are even deeper for extra support during spirited driving. Every Genesis Coupe comes equipped with standard proximity key with push button start, autodimming rearview mirror with HomeLink®, and automatic temperature control.
Among other premium features are an available Infinity® premium audio system and twostage front seat heaters.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES Genesis Coupe offers Xenon highintensity discharge (HID) headlights for brighter illumination intensity, more daylightlike lighting character and reduced power consumption. In addition, the visual cut lines of these HID headlights are razor sharp, providing maximum nighttime visibility to the driver without the risk of blinding oncoming traffic.
Music lovers will welcome the Genesis Coupe’s standard auxiliary input jacks (3.5 mm minijack and USB input) to accommodate and charge personal audio devices such as an iPod®. When an iPod or flash drive is connected through the USB port in the center storage compartment, not only does it play music through the vehicle’s audio system, but it also charges the iPod and allows the driver to access tracks with the steering wheel audio controls. This system also allows both driver and passengers to easily view song/artist/title information and control the music from the audio head unit rather than the iPod unit. This safetyoriented function helps the driver to keep his or her focus on the road at all times.
SEGMENTLEADING STANDARD SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES In keeping with Hyundai’s focus on offering segmentleading standard safety technologies across its lineup, Genesis Coupe includes a wide range of both active and passive safety features. Standard safety technology includes driver and front passenger advanced frontal airbags, along with front seatmounted side airbags, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints.
Genesis Coupe has unibody construction with front and rear crumple zones, bodyside reinforcements and fivemph energy absorbing bumpers. The hood also includes buckling creases and safety stops.
All Genesis Coupe models feature standard fourchannel ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) to optimize brake performance under various dynamic loading conditions. The system also includes Brake Assist, which provides maximum ABSlevel braking force when a panic stop is detected.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC), one of the industry’s most effective lifesaving technologies, is standard in all Genesis Coupe models. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) studies suggest vehicles equipped with ESC experience 56 percent fewer fatalities in singlevehicle crashes than those without it.
In a nod to enthusiasts, Genesis Coupe offers a speciallytuned threestage driverselectable ESC mode. This threestage ESC function offers more options for various driver preferences and road conditions:
1. Fullon ESC function (default mode on startup) 2. Intermediate ESC function with driver powertrain override control and retained ESC/TCS braking function 3. Fulloff ESC function for uninhibited driver vehicle control in all conditions
The driverselectable fulloff ESC mode has been calibrated to provide drivers with a larger performance envelope should they choose to participate in competitive events such as autocrosses or track days. The Genesis Coupe antilock braking system function (ABS) remains fully functional in all ESC modes to help drivers maintain steering control under adverse braking conditions.

Standard 348Horsepower, 3.8liter Directinjected V6 engine
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., November 6, 2015 – Hyundai’s popular Genesis Coupe continues to enhance its appeal in the fiercelycompetitive sport coupe segment. Genesis Coupe offers a 348horspower, 3.8liter directinjected V6 standard, ensuring its buyer maximum powertrain performance at a very affordable price point. This powertrain ensures Genesis Coupe continues to carry its recognized success as a reardrive, highoutput performance sport coupe for everyday enthusiasts. For 2016, Genesis Coupe adds a new 6inch color center display to the center stack, replacing the former dotmatrix display.

3.8 Ultimate A/T w/Shiftronic® $34,950
AGGRESSIVE DESIGN TO MATCH DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE The Genesis Coupe strikes a menacing demeanor, with an aggressively designed front fascia, grille, headlights, LED daytime running lights, fog lights and hood with heat extractor cues. The side view reveals aggressive 18 and 19inch alloy wheel designs with deep dimensional sculpting. Finally, the rear taillights provide a visual spark via premium LED illumination. Traditional rear drive sport coupe proportions are clearly evident, with a long wheelbase and short front and rear overhangs producing a classic wedgelike profile. Genesis Coupe’s bodyside character line is an innovative “Z”shaped design that integrates seamlessly with a unique, dropbeltline rear window graphic. Heated outside mirrors, fog lights, and LED daytime running lights are standard on all Genesis Coupes.
Genesis Coupe’s arching roofline and tapering greenhouse highlight the exterior profile and emphasize the car’s broad shoulders and wide stance. To complete the aggressive sports car look, the depth between the fenders and the greenhouse is maximized. Large openings in the front fascia allow for optimal engine breathing coupled with an aggressive look. Dual asymmetrical exhaust tips integrated with the blackout rear diffuser treatment complete the performance message from the rear.
POWERTRAIN A highperformance 3.8liter, directinjected V6 engine is standard in all Genesis Coupes. This proven powerplant offers sophisticated engine technologies, with directinjection and dual continuously variable valve timing.
The 3.8liter Lambda DOHC V6 engine produces 348 peak horsepower at 6,400 RPM, with peak torque of 295 lb.ft. at 5,100 RPM on premium fuel. In addition, Lambdaengine antiknock technology gives this V6 the versatility to run on regular fuel whenever required. This directinjected engine will easily propel the Genesis Coupe from zero to 60 mph in the lower fivesecond range on its way to an impressive 149mph electronicallylimited top speed. The Lambda V6 intake system also employs an intake sound induction pipe into the cabin to ensure this engine’s aural character matches its visceral appeal.
To further broaden the power band, the 3.8liter engine uses Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (Dual CVVT) and a Variable Intake System (VIS) that helps cylinders breathe most efficiently at both low and high RPM. The combination of highpressure, preciselymetered direct injection with efficient cylinder breathing results in outstanding throttle response and offtheline acceleration coupled with remarkable fuel efficiency. The V6 engine uses an alloy block and cylinder heads for lighter weight and thermal efficiency and features durable, quiet timing chains with no scheduled maintenance.
All these technologies serve to give Genesis Coupe 3.8 an impressive powertoweight ratio of only 10.1:1, significantly lower than the more expensive Infiniti Q60 and BMW 435i.

Torque @ RPM 295* @ 5100 270 @ 5200 300 @ 13005000
* Ratings based on Premium Fuel
The V6 engine also features deep, baritonesounding dual catback exhaust to complement efficient breathing on the intake side. To ensure that all this power is evenly distributed to the pavement, Genesis Coupe also offers an available Torsen® limitedslip differential on RSpec and Ultimate models.
TRANSMISSIONS The automatic transmission has 8speeds, with standard paddleshifters for SHIFTRONIC® manualshifting capability. In addition, the 8speed automatic precisely revmatches engine RPM to the exact selectedgear speed, for smooth downshifts into corners and superb dynamic balance, while an easytoread LCD readout on the instrument panel shows the selected gear at all times for the driver. In addition to the steeringwheelmounted paddle shifters, the automatic offers shift capability via the shift lever according to individual driver preference.
The V6 engine is mated to a standard sixspeed manual transmission that features carbon synchronizer rings for smooth shift action and synchronizer durability. Each transmission has been specifically tuned to match the engine’s power and torque curve characteristics.
SPORTTUNED SUSPENSION No welltuned sport coupe chassis should give the perception of being overwhelmed by its powertrain, and Genesis Coupe is no exception to this rule. Spring, damper, and bushing ratings all have been precisely calibrated to match these powertrains with superb road feel, precise body motion control and good ride comfort. The rearwheel drive powertrain configuration provides a wellbalanced 56:44 fronttorear weight distribution.
Genesis Coupe employs a MacPherson strut duallink front suspension and a fivelink rear suspension setup. The front suspension is mounted to the body via a solid subframe that is lighter and stronger than a comparable multipiece component would be. To help reduce body roll and tune the Genesis Coupe’s atthelimit handling for maximum predictability, 23mm diameter front and 19mm diameter rear stabilizer bars are fitted.
2016 Genesis Coupe MacPherson strut duallink front suspension
2016 Genesis Coupe fivelink rear suspension
While all Genesis Coupe models offer a true reardrive sport coupe driving experience, the highperformance Genesis Coupe R Spec and Ultimate models raise the bar even higher with a differentiated, tracktuned suspension. The RSpec/Ultimate suspension features both firmer front spring rates (seven percent) and rear spring rates (11 percent), with matched damper rates. The Genesis Coupe RSpec/Ultimate models also deliver a significant increase in roll control over other versions of the Genesis Coupe via thicker stabilizer bars (24mm front/20mm rear). Genesis Coupes also use lowvelocitycontrol dampers for refined ride comfort coupled with excellent body control.
In addition, all RSpec and Ultimate models receive front strut camber adjustment bolts that can be installed in the front strut assembly at their owner’s discretion. These camber adjustment bolts allow approximately 1.5 degrees of negative front camber adjustment for sharper, more responsive apex turnin and reduction of understeer. Of course, superb Genesis Coupe structural rigidity sets the fundamental foundation for dynamic precision, regardless of specific suspension calibration.
STEERING Hydraulic, RPMsensing rackandpinion steering has been calibrated with a quick, 13.8:1 ratio, delivering both linear feel and agile response to driver inputs. This steering ratio yields intuitive steering response and precision. To further optimize driver ergonomics, tilt and telescopic adjustment is standard.
HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKING SYSTEMS Brembo® fourpiston calipers clamp down on faderesistant 13.4inch ventilated front brake rotors and 13inch ventilated rear rotors on both RSpec and Ultimate models. All other models get substantial 12.6inch front ventilated rotors and 12.4inch rotors in the rear with floating singlepiston calipers.
UPSCALE INTERIOR The Genesis Coupe interior offers distinctive, upscale features and design cues. For 2016, it adds a new premium, 6inch color display to the center stack. The leather steering wheel uses a premium grade of leather. The instrument panel cover features a stitchedseam appearance for a distinctly upscale look, and the parking brake lever is leatherwrapped on leatherequipped models. The instrument cluster features an electroluminescent gauge cluster for premium ambience and superior readability. A driverside rear seat walkin assist function provides convenient rear seat access from the driver’s side. Convenient seatbelt assist guides make it easy for front passengers to buckle up. Cruise control and floor mats are standard on all Genesis Coupes. A center stack multigauge cluster with instantaneous mpg, torque level, and oil temperature is standard on all trims. A center fascia tray with cover provides extra storage, and interior surfaces have a soft touch with low sheen for an upmarket feel. Sport front seats with deep side bolsters offer superb lateral support for enthusiastic driving in all trim configurations. RSpec seat bolsters are even deeper for extra support during spirited driving. Every Genesis Coupe comes equipped with standard proximity key with push button start, autodimming rearview mirror with HomeLink®, and automatic temperature control.
Among other premium features are an available Infinity® premium audio system and twostage front seat heaters.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES Genesis Coupe offers Xenon highintensity discharge (HID) headlights for brighter illumination intensity, more daylightlike lighting character and reduced power consumption. In addition, the visual cut lines of these HID headlights are razor sharp, providing maximum nighttime visibility to the driver without the risk of blinding oncoming traffic.

AGGRESSIVE DESIGN TO MATCH DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE The Genesis Coupe strikes a menacing demeanor, with an aggressively designed front fascia, grille, headlights, LED daytime running lights, fog lights and hood with heat extractor cues. The side view reveals aggressive 18 and 19inch alloy wheel designs with deep dimensional sculpting. Finally, the rear taillights provide a visual spark via premium LED illumination. Traditional rear drive sport coupe proportions are clearly evident, with a long wheelbase and short front and rear overhangs producing a classic wedgelike profile. Genesis Coupe’s bodyside character line is an innovative “Z”shaped design that integrates seamlessly with a unique, dropbeltline rear window graphic. Heated outside mirrors, fog lights, and LED daytime running lights are standard on all Genesis Coupes.
Genesis Coupe’s arching roofline and tapering greenhouse highlight the exterior profile and emphasize the car’s broad shoulders and wide stance. To complete the aggressive sports car look, the depth between the fenders and the greenhouse is maximized. Large openings in the front fascia allow for optimal engine breathing coupled with an aggressive look. Dual asymmetrical exhaust tips integrated with the blackout rear diffuser treatment complete the performance message from the rear.
POWERTRAIN A highperformance 3.8liter, directinjected V6 engine is standard in all Genesis Coupes. This proven powerplant offers sophisticated engine technologies, with directinjection and dual continuously variable valve timing.
The 3.8liter Lambda DOHC V6 engine produces 348 peak horsepower at 6,400 RPM, with peak torque of 295 lb.ft. at 5,100 RPM on premium fuel. In addition, Lambdaengine antiknock technology gives this V6 the versatility to run on regular fuel whenever required. This directinjected engine will easily propel the Genesis Coupe from zero to 60 mph in the lower fivesecond range on its way to an impressive 149mph electronicallylimited top speed. The Lambda V6 intake system also employs an intake sound induction pipe into the cabin to ensure this engine’s aural character matches its visceral appeal.
To further broaden the power band, the 3.8liter engine uses Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (Dual CVVT) and a Variable Intake System (VIS) that helps cylinders breathe most efficiently at both low and high RPM. The combination of highpressure, preciselymetered direct injection with efficient cylinder breathing results in outstanding throttle response and offtheline acceleration coupled with remarkable fuel efficiency. The V6 engine uses an alloy block and cylinder heads for lighter weight and thermal efficiency and features durable, quiet timing chains with no scheduled maintenance.
All these technologies serve to give Genesis Coupe 3.8 an impressive powertoweight ratio of only 10.1:1, significantly lower than the more expensive Infiniti Q60 and BMW 435i.

The V6 engine also features deep, baritonesounding dual catback exhaust to complement efficient breathing on the intake side. To ensure that all this power is evenly distributed to the pavement, Genesis Coupe also offers an available Torsen® limitedslip differential on RSpec and Ultimate models.
TRANSMISSIONS The automatic transmission has 8speeds, with standard paddleshifters for SHIFTRONIC® manualshifting capability. In addition, the 8speed automatic precisely revmatches engine RPM to the exact selectedgear speed, for smooth downshifts into corners and superb dynamic balance, while an easytoread LCD readout on the instrument panel shows the selected gear at all times for the driver. In addition to the steeringwheelmounted paddle shifters, the automatic offers shift capability via the shift lever according to individual driver preference.
The V6 engine is mated to a standard sixspeed manual transmission that features carbon synchronizer rings for smooth shift action and synchronizer durability. Each transmission has been specifically tuned to match the engine’s power and torque curve characteristics.
SPORTTUNED SUSPENSION No welltuned sport coupe chassis should give the perception of being overwhelmed by its powertrain, and Genesis Coupe is no exception to this rule. Spring, damper, and bushing ratings all have been precisely calibrated to match these powertrains with superb road feel, precise body motion control and good ride comfort. The rearwheel drive powertrain configuration provides a wellbalanced 56:44 fronttorear weight distribution.
Genesis Coupe employs a MacPherson strut duallink front suspension and a fivelink rear suspension setup. The front suspension is mounted to the body via a solid subframe that is lighter and stronger than a comparable multipiece component would be. To help reduce body roll and tune the Genesis Coupe’s atthelimit handling for maximum predictability, 23mm diameter front and 19mm diameter rear stabilizer bars are fitted.

While all Genesis Coupe models offer a true reardrive sport coupe driving experience, the highperformance Genesis Coupe R Spec and Ultimate models raise the bar even higher with a differentiated, tracktuned suspension. The RSpec/Ultimate suspension features both firmer front spring rates (seven percent) and rear spring rates (11 percent), with matched damper rates. The Genesis Coupe RSpec/Ultimate models also deliver a significant increase in roll control over other versions of the Genesis Coupe via thicker stabilizer bars (24mm front/20mm rear). Genesis Coupes also use lowvelocitycontrol dampers for refined ride comfort coupled with excellent body control.
In addition, all RSpec and Ultimate models receive front strut camber adjustment bolts that can be installed in the front strut assembly at their owner’s discretion. These camber adjustment bolts allow approximately 1.5 degrees of negative front camber adjustment for sharper, more responsive apex turnin and reduction of understeer. Of course, superb Genesis Coupe structural rigidity sets the fundamental foundation for dynamic precision, regardless of specific suspension calibration.
STEERING Hydraulic, RPMsensing rackandpinion steering has been calibrated with a quick, 13.8:1 ratio, delivering both linear feel and agile response to driver inputs. This steering ratio yields intuitive steering response and precision. To further optimize driver ergonomics, tilt and telescopic adjustment is standard.
HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKING SYSTEMS Brembo® fourpiston calipers clamp down on faderesistant 13.4inch ventilated front brake rotors and 13inch ventilated rear rotors on both RSpec and Ultimate models. All other models get substantial 12.6inch front ventilated rotors and 12.4inch rotors in the rear with floating singlepiston calipers.
UPSCALE INTERIOR The Genesis Coupe interior offers distinctive, upscale features and design cues. For 2016, it adds a new premium, 6inch color display to the center stack. The leather steering wheel uses a premium grade of leather. The instrument panel cover features a stitchedseam appearance for a distinctly upscale look, and the parking brake lever is leatherwrapped on leatherequipped models. The instrument cluster features an electroluminescent gauge cluster for premium ambience and superior readability. A driverside rear seat walkin assist function provides convenient rear seat access from the driver’s side. Convenient seatbelt assist guides make it easy for front passengers to buckle up. Cruise control and floor mats are standard on all Genesis Coupes. A center stack multigauge cluster with instantaneous mpg, torque level, and oil temperature is standard on all trims. A center fascia tray with cover provides extra storage, and interior surfaces have a soft touch with low sheen for an upmarket feel. Sport front seats with deep side bolsters offer superb lateral support for enthusiastic driving in all trim configurations. RSpec seat bolsters are even deeper for extra support during spirited driving. Every Genesis Coupe comes equipped with standard proximity key with push button start, autodimming rearview mirror with HomeLink®, and automatic temperature control.
Among other premium features are an available Infinity® premium audio system and twostage front seat heaters.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES Genesis Coupe offers Xenon highintensity discharge (HID) headlights for brighter illumination intensity, more daylightlike lighting character and reduced power consumption. In addition, the visual cut lines of these HID headlights are razor sharp, providing maximum nighttime visibility to the driver without the risk of blinding oncoming traffic.
Music lovers will welcome the Genesis Coupe’s standard auxiliary input jacks (3.5 mm minijack and USB input) to accommodate and charge personal audio devices such as an iPod®. When an iPod or flash drive is connected through the USB port in the center storage compartment, not only does it play music through the vehicle’s audio system, but it also charges the iPod and allows the driver to access tracks with the steering wheel audio controls. This system also allows both driver and passengers to easily view song/artist/title information and control the music from the audio head unit rather than the iPod unit. This safetyoriented function helps the driver to keep his or her focus on the road at all times.
SEGMENTLEADING STANDARD SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES In keeping with Hyundai’s focus on offering segmentleading standard safety technologies across its lineup, Genesis Coupe includes a wide range of both active and passive safety features. Standard safety technology includes driver and front passenger advanced frontal airbags, along with front seatmounted side airbags, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints.
Genesis Coupe has unibody construction with front and rear crumple zones, bodyside reinforcements and fivemph energy absorbing bumpers. The hood also includes buckling creases and safety stops.
All Genesis Coupe models feature standard fourchannel ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) to optimize brake performance under various dynamic loading conditions. The system also includes Brake Assist, which provides maximum ABSlevel braking force when a panic stop is detected.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC), one of the industry’s most effective lifesaving technologies, is standard in all Genesis Coupe models. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) studies suggest vehicles equipped with ESC experience 56 percent fewer fatalities in singlevehicle crashes than those without it.
In a nod to enthusiasts, Genesis Coupe offers a speciallytuned threestage driverselectable ESC mode. This threestage ESC function offers more options for various driver preferences and road conditions:
1. Fullon ESC function (default mode on startup) 2. Intermediate ESC function with driver powertrain override control and retained ESC/TCS braking function 3. Fulloff ESC function for uninhibited driver vehicle control in all conditions
The driverselectable fulloff ESC mode has been calibrated to provide drivers with a larger performance envelope should they choose to participate in competitive events such as autocrosses or track days. The Genesis Coupe antilock braking system function (ABS) remains fully functional in all ESC modes to help drivers maintain steering control under adverse braking conditions.
