Genesis Coupe Pricing Announced

Feb. 12 - Hyundai Motor America has announced pricing for the new Genesis Coupe, starting at $22,000 for a well-equipped 210-horsepower, 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine 2.0T model and $25,000 for the 306-horsepower, 3.8-liter, V6 engine model.

"Genesis sedan set a new benchmark for the premium sedan segment and we think Genesis Coupe will do the same in the sport coupe arena," said John Krafcik, Hyundai Motor America president and chief executive officer. "From our 30-mpg 2.0T with its low-pressure, intercooled, four-cylinder turbo, to the 3.8-liter Track model with 306 horsepower and Brembo braking system, Genesis Coupe offers a wide range of powertrain and performance choices for driving enthusiasts of all stripes."

Later in the model year, a tuner-focused performance model, R-Spec, will arrive at Hyundai dealerships. Genesis Coupe R-Spec is positioned the ultimate upgradeable, affordable, performance platform. R-Spec equipment includes a 2.0-liter turbocharged intercooled four-cylinder engine delivering 210 hp, an estimated 30 mpg EPA highway rating and a top speed of 137 mph.

A 6-speed close-ratio manual transmission with Torsen-type limited-slip differential and 19-inch gunmetal-finish alloy wheels with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires and Brembo braking system further support the announced MSRP of $23,750.

All models carry an additional destination charge of $750.
