Allnew Hyundai Genesis Coupe: a New Benchmark Hyundai Motor America 10550 Talbert Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 MEDIA WEBSITE: HyundaiNews.com CORPORATE WEBSITE: HyundaiUSA.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ALL­NEW HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE: A NEW BENCHMARK FOR ATTAINABLE 300­ HORSEPOWER SPORT COUPES Miles Johnson Jim Trainor Senior Manager, Quality, Service and Technology Director (714) 366­1048 (714) 594­1629 [email protected] [email protected] ID: 28401 NEW YORK, March 19, 2008– Hyundai unveiled Genesis Coupe, the new benchmark for attainable 300­horsepower sport coupes, during a press conference at the New York International Auto Show today. The 2010 Genesis Coupe is a purpose­built rear­wheel drive sport coupe featuring two performance­focused engines – a 212­horsepower (est.), 2.0­liter turbocharged four­ cylinder engine and a range­topping all­aluminum, 306­horsepower (est.), DOHC 3.8­liter V6 engine. Genesis Coupe is scheduled to join the Hyundai lineup in the spring of 2009. GENESIS COUPE HIGHLIGHTS Hyundai’s second rear­wheel drive performance car 306 horsepower (est.)from enhanced 3.8­liter V6 from Genesis sedan Std. 212 horsepower (est.) turbocharged, intercooled inline four cylinder Genesis Coupe arrives in the spring of 2009 as a 2010 model Following the introduction earlier this year of the rear­wheel drive Genesis sport sedan, Genesis Coupe is Hyundai’s most dynamic performance car ever and the second consecutive all­new model introduction from Hyundai appealingdirectly to the car enthusiast. Genesis Coupe uses the same flexible rear­wheel drive architecture originally developed for the Genesis sport sedan. 2010 Genesis Coupe “We think our entry­level Genesis Coupe 2.0t, with its unique combination of rear­wheel drive and four­cylinder turbo power, offers an intriguing alternative to existing front­wheel drive sport coupes,” said John Krafcik, vice president, product development and strategic planning, Hyundai Motor America. “The 3.8­liter version of Genesis Coupe takes driving to an even higher level, rivaling the capability of premium­performance coupes like the Infiniti G37.” DESIGN PROCESS 2010 Genesis Coupe Genesis Coupe was shown as a concept at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show and its transformation from concept to production reveals that its signature design features have emerged intact. “The mission for Genesis Coupe was to create a pure performance car with a design that would capture the imagination of hardcore automotive enthusiasts,” said Joel Piaskowski, chief designer at the Hyundai Design Center in Irvine, Calif. “With its aggressive look from just about any angle, I think we have been able to do that.” 2007 Concept Genesis Coupe Genesis Coupe is also unmistakably linked to several Hyundai concept cars. The powerful curves, undulating beltline, surface detail, and “Z” bodyside lines come straight from the HCD9 Talus and the HCD8 sport coupe concepts. Designers used the Day Light Opening (DLO ­­ a designer's term for the side glass) from the 2006 HCD9 Talus Concept on the Genesis Coupe. The 2004 HCD8 sport tourer concept’s sensual body forms influenced the overall design direction of Genesis Coupe. Genesis Coupe’s arching roofline and tapering greenhouse highlight the exterior profile and emphasize the car’s broad shoulders and wide stance. The Genesis Coupe’s rocker panels are drawn close to the ground making the bodysides extra thick and the daylight opening thin, allowing the wheels to be slammed up into bulging fenders. To complete the aggressive sports car look, the depth between the fenders and the greenhouse has been maximized. Large openings in the front fascia allow for better engine breathing. The dual exhaust tips integrated into the rear fascia with surrounding blackout repeat the design theme of the front fascia graphic. Genesis Coupe rides on standard 18­inch alloy wheels or optional 19­inch wheels, both delivering a bold stance and aggressive handling. INTERIOR DESIGN In keeping with its mission to be the most exciting, attainable sport coupe on the road, the Genesis Coupe boasts a cockpit designed to enhance the driving experience. An information display screen features an outside temperature reading and audio system information. Analog gauges include a large speedometer and tachometer positioned so the driver can immediately access critical driving information. The instrument cluster features Hyundai’s signature blue gauge illumination. Bucket front seats with large side bolsters offer excellent lateral support for enthusiastic driving. High­quality seating surfaces range from full black fabric on the Genesis Coupe GS and GT, to optional full black or brown leather on the GT, to red cloth inserts with black leather bolsters on the SE. Among the other refinements are an Infinity audio system and two­stage front seat warmers. Genesis Coupe also offers the convenience of a Smart Key and push­button starter. REAR­WHEEL­DRIVE ARCHITECTURE 2010 Genesis Coupe Architecture Genesis Coupe’s body shell is rich in ultra­high­tensile steel. Genesis Coupe is lighter than the Infiniti G37, and its chassis is also 24 percent stiffer in bending rigidity than the BMW E46 M3. Rear­wheel drive provides a 55:45 front/rear weight distribution. POWERTRAINS 2010 Genesis Coupe 3.8­liter Lambda DOHC V6 Engine Two engines infuse Genesis Coupe with performance. The 3.8­liter Lambda DOHC V6 engine delivers an estimated 306 horsepower (310 horsepower using premium fuel) and 263 lb.­ft. of torque on regular unleaded. This engine will launch the Genesis Coupe from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under six seconds. To maximize the power band, the 3.8­liter engine utilizes Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) on intake cam shafts and a new Variable Intake System (VIS) that helps cylinders breathe efficiently at both low and high RPM. The better breathing results in outstanding off­the­line acceleration and passing performance, and remarkable fuel efficiency. The V6 engine uses an alloy block and cylinder heads for lighter weight and thermal efficiency, and features timing chains with no scheduled maintenance. The turbocharged, intercooled 2.0­liter DOHC inline four­cylinder benefits from CVVT on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. The 2.0­liter turbo generates an estimated 212 horsepower (223 horsepower using premium fuel) and 217 lb.­ft. of torque. It also features a cast­aluminum cylinder block and cylinder head. Both engines feature a free flowing dual cat­back exhaust and an available limited slip differential to put the power to the ground. SPORT­TUNED SUSPENSION 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 which is lighter and stronger than a multi­piece component would be. To help reduce body roll and tune the Genesis Coupe’s at­the­limit handling for maximum predictability, 23­mm diameter front and 18­ mm diameter rear stabilizer bars are used. 2010 Genesis Coupe MacPherson strut dual­link front suspension 2010 Genesis Coupe Five­link Rear Suspension While all Genesis Coupe models offer a fun and sporty driving experience, the high­performance Genesis Coupe SE is a most willing partner for the true enthusiast. The SE’s track­tuned sport suspension features a stiffer front spring rate, stiffer rear spring rate and unique shock valving. Genesis Coupe SE delivers an increase in roll control over the GS. Superb structural rigidity sets the foundation for precisely­tuned handling performance in all Genesis Coupes. STEERING Hydraulic rack­and­pinion steering with a quick ratio gear delivers both linearity and agility. The steering is also engine­RPM sensing. TRANSMISSIONS Both engines are mated to a standard six­speed manual transmission. The Genesis Coupe 2.0t offers an optional five­speed automatic with SHIFTRONIC® while the 3.8­liter V6 offers a ZF six­speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONICto handle the additional torque. Drivers can access the SHIFTRONIC® feature by moving the gear selector into a separate gate. Pushing the selector forward or pulling it rearward will shift the transmission up or down sequentially, adding to driver control. A clear LCD readout on the instrument panel shows the gear that’s in use. HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKING SYSTEMS Brembo four­piston calipers clamp down on 13.4­inch front brake rotors and 13­inch rear rotors on SE models. All other models get substantial 12.6­inch front ventilated rotors and 12.4­inch rotors in the rear with floating single piston calipers. INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES The 2010 Genesis Coupe offers Xenon high­intensity discharge (HID) headlights. The advantages of HID headlamps include greater lighting power, daylight­type lighting and reduced power consumption. In addition, the cut lines of the new HID headlights are extremely precise, providing maximum nighttime visibility without distracting other drivers. Music lovers will welcome the 2010 Genesis Coupe’s standard auxiliary input jacks (3.5 mm mini­jack and USB input) to accommodate and charge audio devices such as iPods®. When an iPod or flash drive is connected through the USB port, located 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 only the iPod itself. SEGMENT­LEADING SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES In keeping with Hyundai’s focus on offering segment­leading standard safety technologies across its lineup, the 2010 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 air curtains and active front head restraints. Genesis Coupe has strong unibody construction, along with front and rear crumple zones, bodyside reinforcements, and five­mph energy­absorbing bumpers.

  • Class Action Lawsuit Alleges
    Hyundai Genesis SUV Shudders and ‘Uncontrollably Veers,’ Class Action Lawsuit Alleges June 10, 2021 Owners of the Hyundai Genesis SUV thought they were buying “true luxury,” but instead got a vehicle that uncontrollably veers off the road while driving at moderate speeds, a new nationwide class action lawsuit alleges. Plaintiff Dr. Barbara Feinstein filed the class action lawsuit against Hyundai Motor Company, Hyundai Motor America, and Genesis Motor America LLC Wednesday in a Maryland federal court, alleging violations of Maryland and federal laws. She says the trio are the designers, manufactures, distributors, sellers and promoters of Genesis automobiles – Hyundai/Genesis’ proclaimed, “luxury line of automobiles.” In 2021, Hyundai/Genesis introduced its first ever SUV, the Genesis GV-80, which is the Class Vehicle, and was marketed as being “equipped with high-performance capabilities that make for fun, powerful and truly dynamic driving on or off road.” Unfortunately, consumers have not experienced the high-performance capabilities that Hyundai/Genesis promised, Feinstein alleges. “Consumers, such as Plaintiff, who purchased or leased a Hyundai/Genesis GV-80 SUV, have instead experienced dangerous instability, shuddering, vibrations and uncontrolled veering of their SUVs, while driving at moderate speeds.” Feinstein alleges Hyundai/Genesis knew of the defects in the SUVs, and in June 2020 confirmed that it had to halt distribution of the diesel Genesis GV-80 SUV due to “vibration issues” of the engine. “Despite this knowledge, however,
