Kristen V

Ultimate car without the sticker shock.

This car is so comfortable and so quiet. You get all the luxury without the luxury price tag. It is fun enough to satisfy my husband's desires for a fast car but comfortable enough to enjoy on a family road trip. The ultimate package features provide increased safety and comfort.

Would recommend! Luxury car with beautiful looks at great value.

Amazing car. Extremely comfortable and it has a great warranty at 60k miles bumper to bumper and 100k miles for the powertrain. The interior is high quality, feels luxurious, and you can barely hear any outside noise while driving. I would recommend getting the extended warranty if planning on buying rather than leasing, as it gives you bumper to bumper warranty coverage for 100k miles total! Genesis is now it is own standalone brand and I would recommend taking a look at their g70/80/90 models as well - this car and the newer models all have great value for the luxury car segment.

Used genesis. Great purchase with all the amenities.

Bought used with 26,000 miles. It was certified which gives me additional peace of mind. It cost less than 50% of original retail price and has all of the bells and whistles of vehicles costing thousands more. Performance is terrific and has very good gas mileage. It was a steal at the price I paid.

Ally B

It's amazing. Its beautiful.

I love my car, it's so smooth to drive in. Me and my family sometimes take it on road trips. I love the connection from my phone to the car, so I can answer my phone without holding my phone, and get a ticket. I also like when I have too much things in my hand, to open it all you have to do is stand behind it.

Daja A

It is in the same price range of a mustang but drives like a Mercedes or BMW.

It is a great car, very reliable... Does go through tires very quickly since they cannot rotate them, but other than that I'drives amazing. The interior also wore very fast. It has a cheap cover that make fixtures look like satin nickel. They wore off in the sun.

Allison H

Luxury sports car for a good price.

Very reliable. I love this car the gas mileage is a bit iffy but it always has my back. Super sporty and fun to drive around in. Leather seats are amazing as well as the butt warmers. Not much room in the back of the car but the trunk does have pretty good space.

Terry F

"Great car the buy" the Hyundai Genesis is a great car for the money.

Great car, great tech in the car, very fun to drive, great handling, just all around a great car, but could be better on mpg, I just wish it offered better gas mileage. They did a great job in the design of this car and it offers the best body style of any car of all the cars that I considered to purchase, it is such a smooth ride and great on long trips out of the state.

Linda L

The Hyundai Genesis is true luxury at a reasonable price.

The vehicle has very comfortable passenger seating with good legroom. The heating and cooling vents and temperature controls on the passenger side are nice so that the passenger can have a different temperature from the driver . This is a really nice feature when the sun is on the passenger side. The automatic lane warning and braking is also a great safety feature. I also appreciate the automatic window sun shades for the rear window and side rear windows to help keep the car cooler when driving or parked.

Negative Owner Reviews

Matt P

It is solid. Safer in the event of a collision.

It is a not a good car. It makes noises. The roof leaks. The horsepower is not enough. I will trade it in soon.

Angela J

Nice, luxury sedan that will turn heads.

When I purchased my pre owned vehicle, it had an issue with the engine light coming on. After many visits to the dealership, it was finally resolved. I asked the service person if this was common for this vehicle and he says he'd seen it a few times. All visits were under the warranty but it was still time consuming.

The price The service needed The problems The cost of repairs

It O.K. It's too expensive It should have more standard features

Bill A

Failure of the rear door and cost, trouble to repair

I have loved this car for over 5 years. Recently I had the left rear door latch up where it won't release. Also, on the same door the motor to lower and raise the window quit working. Cost to repair is huge est about a $1000. They may have to destroy the door handle to get it to release. Very disappointed in this latest issue. The car has less than 33K miles and is garage kept.

Used genesis. Great purchase with all the amenities.

All the Bells and Whistles at a Lower Cost!

My car is very comfortable to ride in and even better to drive. Everyone has plenty of legroom including my 6'5' son. It accelerates quickly and has enough engine to challenge the smaller sport cars. It rides great on the highway and gets good gas mileage. You get all the bangs and whistles for a lot less than the other brands full-size sedans. I highly recommend this vehicle!

Pros from Owners

Richard B.

Is a up to date high tech car. It has a windshield display, lane keep, and mirror blind monitors for safety from oncoming cars. It has navigation, GPS, and fully loaded with luxury appointments. There are no real cons. Maintenance costs are very low.

David F.

It is beautifully designed and styled, with all the luxury and safety features included. It is roomy, technologically advanced and a pleasure to drive. Passengers are safe and comfortable. It has premium sound, heads up display, smart cruise control, panoramic moonroof, heated and cooled seats and more.

David F.

It is an extremely powerful, sporty and safe luxury car that was priced below the traditional luxury vehicles. It has a plethora of features including safety, technology and comfort items. The gas mileage could be better, especially in the city, but overall it is a great vehicle.

Cons from Owners

Richard B.

There are no real cons that I can identify. It is a fully loaded car with more than any driver will ever need. It could use a larger infotainment screen. I think also that it could has less road noise, but better tires, than the original seems to solve the slight noise problem.

David F.

The voice activated route guidance system sometimes has difficulty with my voice interaction, stating You spoke too soon. When I clearly had waited until after the tone. It also will not recognize an address, when manual input will recognize and guide me.

David F.

The gas mileage, especially in the city could be better. Also it is difficult to work on the engine, battery, so it must be taken to a dealer for almost all service. The tires seem to wear a little too quickly, probably due to the vehicle weight.

Is The 2015 Hyundai Genesis A Good Value?

It costs about 45,000 I think, the car I have was loaned to me, so I don't really know the price that well but I would say it's a good price.

jalen p.

I believe it cost around $25000. It is definitely a good value. It’s cheaper than a BMW or Mercedes but the car is just as nice if not nicer.

Linda D.

I don't recall how much the vehicle cost when it was new in 2014, but it has held its value well and is still a very desired vehicle by many. It is a very good value.
