The next generation of the Genesis is coming in 2015, but that doesn’t mean that you should thumb your nose at the current version. This luxury sedan features superior comfort, a passenger compartment that is as quiet as it is refined, and space for five good-sized people. There are two available engines: a 333-hp 3.8L V6 and a 429-hp 5.0L V8 in the 5.0 R-Spec. An eight-speed automatic transmission takes care of transferring power to the rear wheels.
Pros
- Very powerful V6
- Assured comfort
- Always reliable
- Exemplary ergonomics
- Quiet interior
Cons
- Useless R-Spec trim
- Steering sluggish
- No optional AWD
- Performance not very sporty
- Overzealous security systems
