2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Starting MSRP $24,250–$33,000
2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe - The Hyundai Genesis Coupe has only been with us for a few short years and already it is getting a major facelift and power updates. The new Genesis Coupe features a squashed, pointy nose with a blunt front bumper, two faux air intakes and staggered wheels for a more powerful look. The redesigned 2013 Genesis 2.0T is better in a big way, with more power and a retuned suspension, though an unflattering-sounding engine hurts the otherwise-improved driving experience.
In its first three model years (2010-2012), the Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T was not a car I could get excited about (read my review of the 2011 2.0T R-Spec here). Its poky engine and sloppy handling made it under-deliver on its billing as an affordable, rear-wheel-drive performance coupe. Fortunately, the new 2013 version brings relief. (Please note that the Genesis Coupe shouldn't be confused with Hyundai's Genesis sedan, a very different luxury model covered separately.)
