Hyundai Motor Middle East has introduced the significantly redesigned 2013 Genesis Coupe, featuring aggressive coupe styling, complemented by improved interior materials and design.

The Genesis Coupe made its international debut when it was unveiled in Detroit at the North American International Auto Show earlier this year.

The refreshed Genesis Coupe strikes a more menacing demeanor, with a new front fascia, grille, headlights, LED daytime running lights, fog lights and hood with heat extractor cues. The side view reveals new, aggressive 18-inch alloy wheel designs with deeper dimensional sculpting.

“The fluidic sculpture design lines are evident in the new Genesis Coupe as they are integrated into a new front bumper and hood, giving a far sportier look than its previous form,” said Tom Lee, managing director of Hyundai Middle East.

“This new 2013 model is in many showrooms now across the Middle East and is an excellent example of Hyundai’s luxury model offering. The previous model it replaces won accolades all over the world so we have high hopes for the new version here in the Middle East”.

The traditional rear-drive sport coupe proportions remain, with a long wheelbase and short front and rear overhangs producing a classic wedge-like profile. Genesis Coupe’s bodyside character line is an innovative “Z”-shaped design.

Enlarged openings in the front fascia allow for better engine breathing along with a more aggressive look. Dual asymmetrical exhaust tips integrated with the blackout rear diffuser treatment complete the performance message from the rear.

The Genesis Coupe is available with two engine options. The 3.8-litre Lambda DOHC V6 engine and the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine are both available with a 6-speed manual transmission or 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle-shift Shiftronic manual-shifting capability.

Both 4-cylinder and V6 engines benefit from significant technology enhancements, with the 3.8-litre V6 engine receiving sophisticated direct-injection technology and the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine upgrading to a more precise twin-scroll turbocharger and larger intercooler.

A new driver-side rear seat walk-in assist function has been added for more convenient rear seat access from the driver’s side. Convenient seatbelt assist guides make it easier for front passengers to buckle up.

In addition, driver seat power lumbar support is now available and front seatback pockets are standard on all Genesis Coupes. A centre stack multi-gauge cluster with instantaneous mpg, torque level (3.8 models) or turbocharger boost pressure (2.0T models), and oil temperature is standard on all trims.

A center fascia tray with cover has been added for enhanced storage, and interior surfaces now have a softer touch with lower sheen for a more luxurious feel. Sport front seats with deep side bolsters offer superb lateral support for enthusiastic driving in all trim configurations.

The 2013 Genesis Coupe is offered in several new colours including parabolica blue, catalunya copper, Monaco white, Becketts black, circuit silver, gran premio gray, and shoreline drive blue. – TradeArabia News Service
