Hyundai is wasting no time revising the
Genesis mid-sized executive sedan. Spied testing in Death Valley, CA and somewhere in South Korea, the 2011
Genesis will take on some minor changes . The
Genesis has only been on sale for 2 years – it was launched as a 2009MY in mid 2008.
Numerous alterations will be apparent like reshaped front bumper with new lower air intakes, LED day-time running lights, front/side/rear skirts, rear chrome trim, and revised rear bumper incorporating faux
Lexus LS like dual exhausts.
Internally, very little change is visible, with the exception of a BMW-like iDrive system. This is likely to operate a new 8 speed automatic transmission, recently announced by Hyundai. Under the hood, the 290bhp 3.8 litre V6 Lambda and 385bhp 4.6 litre V8 Tau engines will be improved for better fuel economy and power. For 2011, an all-new 5.0 litre V8 will debut, which is expected to generate 429bhp. The new V8 will also be used in the larger
Equus sedan. It is probable that Hyundai will also use their new GDI (gasoline direct-injection) engines. Additionally, AWD will also be offered.
The facelifted
Genesis will go on sale in the U.S and Australia mid-2011.
