An excerpt characterizing Genesis (car brand)
“No, dad hasn’t arrived yet,” said Sonya.- Coco, you have arrived, come to me, my friend! said the voice of the countess from the living room. Nikolai went up to his mother, kissed her hand, and, silently sitting down at her table, began to look at her hands, laying out the cards. Laughter and cheerful voices were heard from the hall, persuading Natasha.
“Well, all right, all right,” Denisov shouted, “now there is nothing to excuse, barcarolla is behind you, I beg you.
The Countess looked back at her silent son.
- What happened to you? Nikolai's mother asked.
“Ah, nothing,” he said, as if he was already tired of this one and the same question.
- Is daddy coming soon?
- I think.
“They have the same. They don't know anything! Where can I go? ” thought Nikolai and went back to the hall where the clavichords stood.
Sonya sat at the clavichord and played the prelude of that barcarolle that Denisov especially loved. Natasha was going to sing. Denisov looked at her with enthusiastic eyes.
Nikolai began to pace up and down the room.
“And here is the desire to make her sing? What can she sing? And there is nothing funny here, thought Nikolai.
Sonya took the first chord of the prelude.
“My God, I am lost, I am a dishonorable person. Bullet in the forehead, the only thing left, not to sing, he thought. Leave? but where to? anyway, let them sing!”
Nikolai gloomily, continuing to walk around the room, looked at Denisov and the girls, avoiding their eyes.
"Nikolenka, what's wrong with you?" asked Sonya's gaze fixed on him. She immediately saw that something had happened to him.
Nicholas turned away from her. Natasha, with her sensitivity, also instantly noticed the state of her brother. She noticed him, but she herself was so happy at that moment, she was so far from grief, sadness, reproaches, that she (as often happens with young people) deliberately deceived herself. No, I'm too happy now to spoil my fun with sympathy for someone else's grief, she felt, and said to herself:
"No, I'm sure I'm wrong, he must be as cheerful as I am." Well, Sonya, - she said and went to the very middle of the hall, where, in her opinion, the resonance was best. Raising her head, lowering her lifelessly hanging hands, as dancers do, Natasha, stepping from heel to tiptoe with an energetic movement, walked across the middle of the room and stopped.
"Here I am!" as if she were speaking, answering the enthusiastic look of Denisov, who was watching her.
“And what makes her happy! Nikolay thought, looking at his sister. And how she is not bored and not ashamed! Natasha took the first note, her throat widened, her chest straightened, her eyes took on a serious expression. She was not thinking of anyone or anything at that moment, and sounds poured out of the smile of her folded mouth, those sounds that anyone can produce at the same intervals and at the same intervals, but which leave you cold a thousand times, in make you shudder and cry for the thousand and first time.
Natasha this winter began to sing seriously for the first time, and especially because Denisov admired her singing. She sang now not like a child, there was no longer in her singing that comic, childish diligence that had been in her before; but she did not yet sing well, as all the judges who heard her said. “Not processed, but a beautiful voice, it needs to be processed,” everyone said. But they usually said this long after her voice had fallen silent. At the same time, when this unprocessed voice sounded with incorrect aspirations and with efforts of transitions, even the experts of the judge did not say anything, and only enjoyed this unprocessed voice and only wished to hear it again. There was that virginal innocence in her voice, that ignorance of her own strengths and that still unprocessed velvety, which were so combined with the shortcomings of the art of singing that it seemed impossible to change anything in this voice without spoiling it.
In 2008, the South Korean company Hyundai introduced a new product to the world - the Genesis car. In short, this is a business class car, which is characterized as a premium sports sedan. True, a coupe was also created on this basis. Since 2014, a new generation of this model has been produced, and that's exactly what I would like to talk about.
Design
The Genesis was a good car from the start. But technology does not stand still, because the new models that have been produced since 2014 have become even more modern and perfect. First of all, specialists improved the strength of the body - and all thanks to an increase in the proportion of high-strength steel (used in the structure) to 51.5 percent. Due to this, control and noise isolation have improved. After all, this material muffles even the slightest vibrations. By the way, I would like to tell you more about this. Noise and vibration isolation in this model is maximum - even the noise of the engine and the road is almost inaudible. And all thanks to the partition, which the developers placed in engine compartment. And, of course, much has been achieved through the use of effective
Engine
Now it’s worth talking about what kind of power unit the Genesis Hyundai car is equipped with. The first option offered is 3.8 GDI with D-CVVT system. This modern motor, with a capacity of 315 Horse power(at 6000 rpm) and a maximum torque of 397 Nm (5000 rpm).
There is another engine - 3.0 GDI. In everything but torque, volume and horsepower, it is identical to the aforementioned. By the way, its power is 249 hp. With.
Specifications
Engines work in tandem with an 8-speed “automatic”. It was already possible to understand that Genesis is a car in which the developers of the concern have implemented a lot technological advances. And here are just a few of them: hydraulic torque converter, block solenoid valves(equipped with a direct control function), an improved aluminum gearbox housing, as well as integrated wiring and sensors.
The multi-link suspension with electronic control system (ECS) is also worth noting. Thanks to this design, the degree of depreciation is regulated. And it depends on the driving mode and road conditions. In addition, the ECS system ensures maximum driving comfort. By the way, there are three modes - normal, eco and for driving in the snow.
Control
The Genesis car boasts many more advantages, in addition to powerful engine. Special attention should be noted rack steering equipped with an electronic amplifier. This system is remarkably stable and responsive. Driving a car has never been easier. Moreover, this system reduces fuel consumption by almost three percent. This is the advantage of an electronic booster over hydraulics.
Learn more about the principles of operation. With a small steering angle, the wheels turn very slowly and smoothly. If the angle is increased, then the effect will be appropriate. That is, the wheels will turn much faster and sharper. Therefore, driving a car brings the driver only pleasure - both when parking and when driving at high speeds.
And by the way, due to the rear-wheel drive layout, the mass of the car is distributed in the most practical and optimal way. This also plays a role.
Salon
Naturally, a few words should be said about the interior. The Genesis car looks luxurious both outside and inside. Immediately striking is the large display and laconic horizontal layout. The switches are very practical - this ensures the most comfortable control, since you do not need to be distracted by anything. In order from bottom to top, an analog clock is placed, and then a monitor, climate control and a multimedia system. Everything looks very concise, harmonious and stylish. As an option, by the way, it is offered with a sunroof. This is a kind of highlight of the Genesis model.
The car, the photo of which is provided above, is good in every way. Its interior is magnificent, because in the process of finishing only high-quality expensive materials were used. By the way, the chairs are offered in several versions (you can choose the skin of the color that you like more). Even in the cabin, natural wood and aluminum trim parts were used. Everything in the interior of this car is thought out - even the (front) PSV Genesis look very stylish and modern.
And the interior is decorated with details such as illuminated door sills and an overhead console.
Optics
The Genesis Coupe (like the sedan) features high-quality modern optics. Xenon headlights with built-in LEDs for daytime running are installed ahead. They provide very bright and precise illumination. And besides, this optics is very economical! It consumes a minimum of energy. Even when the car approaches another car, the intelligent system high beam automatically switches to near. There are also LEDs on the back. By the way, the optics have a very stylish shape. The headlights perfectly emphasize the sophisticated look of the car. This is clearly demonstrated by the photos presented above.
Options
Potential buyers are also offered the option of electric door closers. These are sensors integrated into the door locks, thanks to which miniature electronic motors. In other words, these devices completely close the doors (in the event that those leaving the car did not completely cover them).
Another option - automatic opening luggage cover. In the event that the owner stands behind the car with a smart key for more than 3 seconds, then the trunk ... opens by itself. Very modern and convenient feature. After all, the driver in this case does not have to put his luggage on the ground and then pick it up again.
LED fog lights are also available as an option. Their light can penetrate very dense, seemingly impenetrable fog. And it is worth ordering this option - for security reasons.
And one more option is the AEB system. Or, in other words, autonomous emergency braking. Required function. If the system notices that the distance of the vehicle has suddenly been reduced to the vehicle in front, it immediately reacts by applying the brakes. This happens due to the constant reading of the radiator signal (the SCC system works here - cruise control), as well as the analysis of the image coming from a camera equipped with a road marking tracking system. In general, it is desirable to order such an option.
Exterior
What can you tell about Genesis? The Hyundai car brand has always been famous for the attractiveness of its cars. And if ordinary sedans look pretty, then what can we say about such a premium model as the Genesis.
Attracts attention Very interesting form. Buyers are also offered either a silver color with chrome or black. An elegant emblem flaunts on the hood, emphasizing the exclusive appearance of the new Hyundai.
The repeaters of the “turn signals” placed on the A rear emit a red bright light, making the car much more noticeable. Due to this, the car becomes more visible in the fog, and in snowy or rainy weather.
Another highlight is the antenna, made in the shape of a shark's fin. practical detail you can consider the illumination of the near-door space. It is activated at the moment when the Genesis approaches another car. This feature makes it easier to open the door.
And finally, disks. Light alloy, stylish… There are three options: 17, 18, and 19 inches.
Safety
Another important topic that cannot be ignored when talking about the Genesis car. The Hyundai emblem itself is a definition of safety and quality. And it really is.
"Genesis" is equipped with nine airbags. There are rear, front, knee and even curtains. Protection from all sides, in other words.
There are also belts with the Pre-Safe Belt system. True, this is an option. But smart belts are worth ordering. Indeed, in the event of an accident, the pretensioners are activated, the person is “fixed” in the seat as tightly as possible.
A well-developed and active system that protects pedestrians in case of an accident. The hood cover absorbs impact - it rises, and even if a collision occurs, the person's head is damaged the least.
And as an addition, there is HTRAC. Or, in other words, intelligent all-wheel drive. It is activated if the car notices bumps or slippery road surfaces. In this case, the front axle of the car is simply connected, the control becomes simpler and safer.
Modern equipment
The Genesis car, the characteristics of which were described in great detail above, has a very rich package. Take, for example, the concept of intuitive control. Thanks to her, a person drives a car without thinking. The interface is very simple, it combines everything: the steering wheel, dashboard, as well as seat adjustment and center console.
There is also a system in the car all-round view, three-zone climate control, power seats (equipped with built-in memory for 2 drivers), a premium audio system and a color head-up display located on the windshield. Plus, there is an information system for the driver.
But that is not all. Useful features also include an electromechanical “handbrake”, parking sensors, a ventilation system for seats (there is also heating), as well as a key card and a rain sensor. In general, as you can see, Genesis has everything you might need. And that's what it does this car so popular and in demand.
Price
New Genesis model will cost about 2,330,000 rubles. The cost may differ depending on which salon a person plans to purchase a car. By the way, if you want to save money, you can look for second-hand options. The car will be in excellent, almost new condition, but with mileage, and for this a solid discount is usually given from the previous owner. So, for example, a 2014 model with a mileage of 36,000 kilometers can be purchased for just one and a half million rubles. And this, compared to the original price, is very cheap.
The first generation, however, will cost even less. Approximately 700 thousand rubles. But there the engine is weaker (2.0, 213 hp), and the equipment is more modest. In general, it is up to the person who wants to buy a car to decide.
Having spun off the Genesis premium brand from the parent brand Hyundai, the Koreans have never hidden their strategy for expanding into world markets. First Korea, then the USA and the Middle East, and the next bridgehead is Russia! Back in the days of the Moscow Motor Show, I managed to photograph the Genesis G90 flagship sedan with Russian numbers in the parking lot of the Crocus Expo exhibition center, on which the company's management arrived at the premiere of Creta. And now the official presentation of the Genesis brand in Russia has taken place.
With cars new brand readers of Autoreview, so now the most interesting strategy for their promotion in Russia. Cars for our market will be assembled from SKD car kits at Kaliningrad plant Avtotor. The Genesis G90 executive sedan will be the first to be released, replacing the well-known Hyundai model Equus. Sales will begin in October and will be handled by carefully selected Hyundai dealerships: according to preliminary data, there will be about thirty of them. The creation of separate showrooms is only in the distant plans.
Options are already known, and they are specific to Russia. For example, only cars with all-wheel drive HTRAC. The base will be the Premier version with a V6 3.8 engine (309 hp), nine airbags, bi-xenon headlights, adaptive suspension, leather interior, heated and electrically adjustable rear sofa, navigator, rear view camera, door closers and Lexicon audio system.
The Elite package adds adaptive LED headlights, surround view cameras, a head-up display and a second-row entertainment system. Moreover, such a car can be bought both with the mentioned aspirated 3.8, and with the latest V6 3.3 T-GDI biturbo engine with a capacity of 370 hp. The same engine, along with the flagship "eight" 5.0 (413 hp), will be available in the most rich equipment Royal with separate second-row seats, auto-braking and lane control systems.
Electronic assistants for a fee can be installed on the first two versions. And at the top of the range is a modification extended by 290 mm, which the Koreans call a “limousine”. But, strictly speaking, a car without a partition between the rows is just an elongated sedan. However, this is unlikely to stop buyers: in previous years, the long-wheelbase version of Ekus accounted for up to 10% of sales, although in 2015 there were only six buyers.
Prices for the G90 will be announced simultaneously with the start of sales. However, do not expect cheap premium sedans. Most likely, compared to the Hyundai Equus model (from 3.4 million rubles), prices will increase by about a third. This means that you need to focus on about 4.5 million! Even though it's all the same cheaper than Mercedes S-class, which now costs from 5.9 million rubles.
What's next? Business sedan, i.e. restyled Hyundai Genesis with an extended set of equipment, will appear with us at the beginning of 2017. A year later, the Genesis G70 sedan the size of a BMW three-ruble note will arrive in Russia - it was shown at the last New York Auto Show. And then, in full accordance with the global one, there will be a large and compact crossover plus a two-door, replacing the discontinued Hyundai Genesis Coupe model. But these models do not even have names yet, and their market launch is scheduled for the end of the decade.
In the spring of 2014, sales of a new generation of the Hyundai Genesis business class sedan started in Russia. world premiere which took place last fall. The predecessor of "Genesis" did not achieve great success in our country, but, according to the Koreans, the "updated" sedan is ready to make a second attempt, which will certainly be successful.
Of course, the second-generation three-volume vehicle had much more chances, in comparison with its predecessor - a solid appearance “without kinks”, very good equipment and the level of its performance ... in addition, its price at the start of sales did not exceed 3 million rubles (i.e. it did not fall under the concept of "luxury" and, accordingly, it did not face additional taxation) ... only here is "another round of the crisis" ruined the atmosphere. Be that as it may, the "second" actually became more successful than the "first", but let's get back to the review of this car ...
The “transformation” of the Hyundai Genesis, the Koreans, of course, began with the appearance. The novelty received a more status look, created within the framework of the design concept "Flowing Lines 2.0" and differing from its predecessor in increased dynamism with the simultaneous presence of elegant softness of lines, which gives the exterior of the novelty a kind of zest.
In terms of dimensions, the new Genesis is almost identical to the first generation car, but at the same time, the Koreans managed to increase the wheelbase by 75 mm. If we talk about the exact dimensions, then the body length of the second generation Genesis is 4990 mm, the wheelbase mentioned above is 3010 mm, the width without mirrors fits within 1890 mm, and the height is limited to 1480 mm. Track width front and rear wheels respectively equal to 1620 and 1633 mm.
The curb weight of the novelty ranges from 1965 kg to 2055 kg and depends on the trim level.
In respect of ground clearance- the car was adapted "for Russian conditions", as a result - only the "Sport" modification remained "native clearance" of 130 mm, for the rest, the ride height: 155 mm - for the rear-wheel drive version of the sedan, for the all-wheel drive Genesis the clearance is "reduced" up to 150 mm.
In the "second" Hyundai Genesis, the Koreans used much large quantity high-strength steels in the production of body panels and elements, bringing their share to 51.5% of the total volume of materials. In addition, laser welding and hot stamping are now more commonly used in the assembly process. All this made it possible to significantly increase the rigidity of the body structure, which became 16% stiffer in torsion and 40% stiffer in bending.
It is also worth saying that new body Hyundai Genesis is much more aerodynamic than its predecessor. Its coefficient aerodynamic drag Korean engineers managed to be reduced to a value of 0.26 Cx, which ultimately contributed to a noticeable decrease in fuel consumption and an increase dynamic characteristics car.
According to the Koreans, the interior of the new Hyundai Genesis is the most spacious in the class. This is especially felt in the back row, where almost the entire growth of the wheelbase has been added to the legs. If we add to this the high comfort of the seats, it becomes clear that the new Genesis really seriously expects to compete for a buyer even with German giants.
No one should have any complaints about interior decoration, since the Koreans preferred to use only high-quality materials, including genuine leather, wood, aluminum and expensive fabrics.
Some European critics did not like the "horizontal" layout of the front panel (display - climate - multimedia), which they considered too strict in terms of design, but the Koreans explained the choice of such a solution solely by caring for the driver, since the panel represents part of the new concept of intuitive control (HMI), which also includes a multifunctional steering wheel, instrument panel, head-up display and center console.
In general, the cabin of the second generation of the Hyundai Genesis sedan has excellent ergonomics, boasts excellent quality assembly and premium equipment, especially in top trim levels.
Quite good at Genesis and trunk, capable of accommodating up to 493 liters of cargo.
In the Russian expanses, the second generation Hyundai Genesis is offered with two options for the power plant of the Lambda family:
- As a junior engine, the Koreans offer a V-shaped 6-cylinder gasoline unit with a direct fuel injection system, a variable valve timing system and a 24-valve timing mechanism. The working volume of the younger engine is 3.0 liters (2999 cm³), which gives it the ability to develop up to 249 hp. maximum power at 6000 rpm. peak torque given power unit falls at around 304 Nm, which are achieved at 5000 rpm.
As a gearbox, the younger engine receives an uncontested 8-band “automatic”, with which the starting acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h is 8.6 and 9.0 seconds for the front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, respectively. Max speed movement in both cases is limited to 230 km / h. As for fuel consumption, the front-wheel drive Genesis eats 15.3 liters of AI-95 gasoline in the city, 8.5 liters on the highway and about 11.0 liters in combined cycle; all-wheel drive sedan in turn, it consumes 15.6 liters in the city, 9.0 liters on the highway and 11.4 liters in mixed driving mode. - The flagship engine also runs on gasoline, has 6 cylinders V arrangement with a displacement of 3.8 liters (3778 cm³), equipped with a 24-valve timing, variable valve timing and direct injection fuel. Its upper power threshold is indicated by the manufacturer at 315 hp, achieved at 6000 rpm, and peak torque is at around 397 Nm at 5000 rpm.
The flagship engine is aggregated with the same 8-speed automatic transmission, which allows you to accelerate the sedan from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.8 seconds or reach a top speed of 240 km / h. As for fuel consumption, the flagship requires 16.2 liters in city traffic, no more than 8.9 liters during high-speed driving and about 11.6 liters in the combined cycle.
Hyundai Genesis II received front and rear independent multi-link suspensions with telescopic shock absorbers and stabilizer roll stability. In the top configuration, the novelty is equipped with an air suspension with electronic control, which makes it possible to achieve maximum comfort when driving on roads with any surface.
In the "base" Hyundai Genesis receives only rear-wheel drive, but if desired, you can order the installation of an intelligent all-wheel drive system HTRAC AWD from Magna with a choice of four available operating modes: "Eco", "Normal", "Sport" and "Snow" .
Also note that the flagship motor is equipped with the HTRAC AWD system by default.
The all-wheel drive of the Hyundai Genesis sedan is based on an interaxle electronically controlled multi-plate clutch capable of transmitting up to 90% of torque to the front or rear axle, depending on road conditions and the selected operating mode.
In Russia, Hyundai Genesis II was offered in five trim levels: "Business", "Elegance", "Premium", "Luxury" and "Sport". In the lower configuration, the sedan receives 7 airbags, xenon headlights with washer, LED taillights, LED running lights, tire pressure sensor, rain and light sensors, adjustable in height and reach steering column, front seats electrically adjustable and heated, side mirrors with electric drive and heating, power windows with two modes of operation, blind rear window with electric drive, 2-zone climate control, cruise control, circular parking sensors, rear view camera, navigation system, an initial audio system with 7 speakers and a subwoofer, as well as 17-inch alloy wheels.
In more expensive trim levels sedan can be equipped with electromechanical parking brake, heated steering wheel, electric trunk lid, blind spot monitoring system, seat ventilation, projection display, automatic valet, air ionizer, premium audio system with 14 or 17 speakers and other equipment that increases comfort in the cabin.
The cost of Hyundai Genesis in 2014 starts at 1,859,000 rubles. The most available version with all-wheel drive will cost 1,959,000 rubles. The modification of the "Genesis" with the flagship engine is estimated at least 2,869,000 rubles, and 2,979,000 rubles will have to be paid for the top-end equipment.
The Hyundai brand was not even mentioned that evening - official Russian presentation of the Genesis brand took place in Barvikha chamber, solidly and without any reference to the name of the parent company. Koreans in every possible way distance themselves from their mass brands and assure that Genesis is something truly new and completely unique.
Why a new brand is needed
The first attempt to enter the car market upper class Koreans took action in 1999 when they introduced front wheel drive sedan Equus (in Europe - Centennial) 5.1 m long with V6 and V8 engines. The car was created in partnership with Mitsubishi and was positioned in the domestic market as a competitor Mercedes-Benz S-class and "sevens" BMW. However, it was only ten years later that it was possible to truly enter the prestigious segment with a rear-wheel drive model of the second generation of its own design. Even then, in some markets, Koreans began to sell a sedan under the Equus brand without mentioning Hyundai. Almost simultaneously, the Hyundai Genesis rear-wheel drive business sedan entered the market, which was supposed to fight the Mercedes-Benz E-class and the BMW 5-Series. In 2013, Genesis changed generations, and soon it was decided to finally separate luxury models into a separate brand so as not to confuse customers with the mention of the Hyundai mass brand. Instead of Equus, the Koreans chose the more sonorous Genesis as the brand name, and the models themselves were given alphanumeric indices in the manner Infiniti cars. In autumn 2015, Genesis Motors was spun off from Hyundai Motors.Who is responsible for the styling and development of cars
In January 2016, the American Manfred Fitzgerald, the former director of design and development of the Lamborghini brand, became the head of the Genesis brand. As Senior Vice President, he is responsible for the development and implementation of brand strategy and marketing policy.The brand's stylist is the famous Dutchman Luc Donkerwolke, who for many years was the chief designer of various departments of the Volkswagen Group. He worked on the appearance of the first generation Skoda Octavia and Fabia, and also painted the current Seat Ibiza. He also had a hand in the style of almost all Lamborghini models from Diablo to Murcielago and Gallardo, drew Bentley Flying Spur and Bentayga. Since the beginning of 2016, Donkerwolke has been working in the same team with Hyundai-Kia Design Chief Peter Schreyer.
Finally, for technical part the German Albert Biermann is responsible, who since the spring of 2015 has been head of the Department for Testing and Development of High-Performance Hyundai cars motor group. Previously, the specialist was vice president of BMW M and BMW Individual, where he was mainly involved in the development of sports models.
What models will be produced under the Genesis brand
The first Genesis car and the flagship of the brand officially became the G90 sedan - in fact, the third generation Equus, the world premiere of which took place in January in Detroit, and the Russian premiere on September 22 in Barvikha. Next, the G80 business sedan, the successor to the Hyundai Genesis, which has already been shown at the auto show in Busan, South Korea, will enter our market. Next year, the Koreans will introduce the G70 sports sedan, which will enter the segment Mercedes-Benz C-class and BMW 3 Series. Finally, by 2020, two crossovers and a sports coupe will be introduced under the Genesis brand - a total of six models with rear-wheel drive architecture and V-shaped engines or compact turbo engines.Can the flagship G90 compete with German sedans
In addition to the dimensions and spaciousness in the cabin, the assets of the flagship sedan are quite modern chassis, a lot of service electronics and electric drives of everything and everyone. The media system is controlled by a washer on the tunnel, next to it there are two platforms for wireless charging phones. Behind there are individual monitors and remote controls for the media system and air conditioner. Finally, instead of a solid rear sofa, you can order a version with separate seats.There will be two engines. Firstly, new turbo engine V6 3.3 T-GDI with 370 horsepower. Secondly, a 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 with 425 hp, which will serve as the flagship. Drive - rear or full. But the G90 will not have air suspension even for a surcharge. The Koreans claim that the refusal of pneumatic elements is due to reliability considerations and the desire to keep prices.
Will there be longer versions?
As with the Equus, the G90 is available in a long wheelbase with a 290mm insert. According to statistics, in Russia, up to 3% of sold Equus sedans were sold in the long-wheelbase version, so the long G90 will also be brought to us. At the same time, the Korean Pullman will be offered only in maximum configuration and only with a five-liter V8 engine, all-wheel drive transmission and separate rear seats with electric adjustments and ottomans - retractable footrests.What is known about the G80 sedan
The new business sedan is the result of a thorough revision of Hyundai Genesis 2nd generation, which received a more aggressive design and reconfigured suspension. The sedan is equipped with a 3.8-liter gasoline engine V6. Motor power is 315 horsepower. In addition, the novelty will be offered in a "charged" Sport modification. This version was equipped with a 3.3-liter turbocharged engine. Engine power is 370 hp. and 510 Nm of torque. The drive is rear or full, the gearbox is an eight-speed automatic. Finally, customers will be offered adaptive suspension with electronically controlled dampers.What is known about the G70 sedan
The prototype of the New York Concept, presented at the New York Auto Show, hints at what the production G70 will look like. The appearance of the model is made in the style of last year's Vision G prototype and largely corresponds to the appearance of the flagship Genesis sedan G90. The prototype was equipped with a hybrid power plant total power 245 hp with a two-liter turbo engine and an eight-speed "automatic". production model, most likely, will receive four-cylinder turbo engines, as well as a “charged” modification, the development of which will be carried out by the N Performance division. hallmark cabin prototype steel 21-inch display connecting the instrument panel and screen multimedia system, as well as a touchpad to control all on-board electronics.Ivan Ananiev
