If you are in the market for a mid-sized luxury car that is equipped like a Lexus, looks like a BMW and feels like an Audi, with a lower price tag, look no further than the 2015 Hyundai Genesis AWD.
At just $52,450 fully loaded, the Genesis delivers posh luxury at a modest price. While the Korean manufacturer is not known for high-end vehicles like its Japanese and German counterparts, Hyundai makes a solid effort to continue to gain footing in this category.
Beginning with the heads-up display, which projects speed limit and current speed on the windshield, the Genesis sports features only seen in superior automobiles. The display is adjustable for driver height, making it easier for you to monitor your speed while keeping your eyes on the road.
Like its opulent counterparts, the Genesis has heated and ventilated 12-way-adjustable ultra leather power seats and a supremely comfortable burlwood-framed cabin. The steering wheel has controls for volume, phone and adjusting the cruise control. A large power tilt and slide sunroof lets light in when you want it.
The Genesis, of course, has a proximity key with push-button start — a feature quickly becoming a must in cars over $20,000. Like its pricey rivals, the Hyundai even has puddle lights, a bat signal-like projection from the side view mirrors that lights up the ground with the car moniker.
The mirrors also have safety features such as blind-spot detection and will alert you to crossing traffic.
The Genesis has lane departure detection, which can warn you when you drift. And the smart cruise control keeps the car from gaining on the car in front of it, modifying the speed to match it.
Perhaps the Genesis' best feature is the auto emergency braking, which uses both cameras and radar sensors to keep the vehicle from colliding with another, even if the driver isn't paying attention.
The handling on this car is excellent. A revamped high-performance system with gas shock absorbers translates power to the 18-inch alloy wheels with precision. Driving this car creates a feeling of balance that is expected in a high-end car.
Hyundai tops this car off with a potent Lexicon 17-speaker sound system commanded by a 9.2-inch touchscreen, which also controls the GPS. Menus on the system make sense — an attribute often overlooked even in the luxury market.
The only letdown compared to its higher-priced competition was in performance. While the Genesis' 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters provides a sporty driving experience, the thrust will not impress as much as its competition. Coupled with the fact that the accelerator pedal does not have much depth to it, the Genesis feels like it has little less zip.
Acceleration aside, the Genesis is an excellent value and is well on its way to proving it belongs in the luxury class.
