The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is loaded with great driving dynamics that makes its performance really brisk and attractive, but besides all that the nicest thing about the 2010 Hyundai Genesis is its attractive price package.

The Genesis is common in the 2010 Hyundai and Genesis sedan and this commonness is because of Coupe’s 3.8-liter uplevel trim that is the base engine in the sedan and on more common thing is their same platform. But when you drive these two identically different vehicles, you feel that they belong to two totally different planets. The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is exceptionally comfortable with unique refinement and you wouldn’t find much of plush that is a hallmark of the sedan.

There is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine in its 2.0T trim levels that is capable to produce 210-hp. Its affordable price and the great ease which is quite supple to horsepower with aftermarket tuners make it a really nice option for young riders and those who want to keep the warranty of their Genesis intact, they would find the turbo-4 quite adequate for this purpose. But the thing that indicates some lowlight about the powertrain is its clutch/shifter tandem which doesn’t have enough precision.

When it comes to design and style, you wouldn’t find anything wrong with it, as its nice looking exterior sheet metal makes it really handsome and athletic, and no doubt about it is one of the best looking Hyundais ever. You would notice a cockpit-like environment in its impressive cabin, but the backseat is not sufficient for adults, but two kids can be easily fitted there.

The new Coupe will be available in trim levels 2.0T, Premium 2.0T, Track 2.0T, 3.8, Grand Touring 3.8 and Track 3.8. There are 18” alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, full power accessories, steering column, a trip computer, MP3/CD stereo with iPod/USB connectivity. In the Premium 2.0T there is keyless ignition, power driving seat, a sunroof and Infinity audio system.

Aside from the 3.8-liter V6, there is 2.0T standard equipment are foglights, metal door sill plates, black leather upholstery and automatic climate controller. There are rear parking sensors, foglights, heated side mirrors, xenon headlights parking sensors, keyless ignition, leather upholstery and a sunroof have been added in the 3.8 line.

An iPod USB cable, carpeted floor mats are some available options.

There is a four-cylinder 2.0-liter turbocharged four cylinder engine in 2.0T line while a 3.8-liter V6 has been housed in 3.8 models. The four-cylinder engine is capable to produce 210hp with 233lbs-ft torque and the V6 boasts 306hp with 266 pound-feet torque. In their performance tests, an exceptional 5.9-second sprint from 0-60mph was recorded in the 3.8 Track models, while the 2.0T that has manual transmission was found accomplishing the same tasks in just 6.9 seconds. In a sporty coupe with such and a low price range of $20,000, It’s seems somewhat average.

When it comes to safety, there are standard antilock disc brakes, front-seat airbags, stability control and side curtain airbags of full-length.

In short, the Hyundai, Genesis Coupe is a nice driving option for all those who want loads of features, exceptional performance, impressive design and complete safety in an affordable price range. It’s really a great ride for all those young riders who want to make driving quite a supple and smooth experience.
