Hyundai Genesis (2015)
Hyundai introduced its all-new 2015 Genesis at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, marking the highly-anticipated launch of its second-generation premium sedan. The groundbreaking original Genesis model won the prestigious North American Car of the Year accolade at its introduction in 2009.
The 2015 Hyundai Genesis represents a bold step forward for Hyundai, continuing to build upon its successful strategy of marketing its premium models under the Hyundai brand umbrella, rather than a costly separate luxury brand sales channel. The new Genesis is incredibly well-equipped in every configuration, offering even more content than the first-generation Genesis. This additional content includes a generous suite of standard safety and convenience features, unsurpassed in its class. For the first time in a Hyundai sedan, a sophisticated AWD system will be offered, known as HTRAC®, significantly broadening Genesis appeal in Snowbelt regions throughout the U.S. The new Hyundai Genesis will be built at Hyundai's Ulsan, Korea plant, with U.S. sales beginning in the spring.
"Hyundai is proud to bring our next-generation Genesis sedan to eager U.S. consumers in just a few short months," said Mike O'Brien, vice president of corporate and product planning, Hyundai Motor America. "Market expectations for the new Genesis are understandably high, and we're confident the Genesis' combination of superb dynamics, bold design, class-leading safety and driver-focused technologies will exceed those expectations by a large margin."
