All-New 2015 Hyundai Genesis Delivers Generous Premium Content For An Outstanding Value Position

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- During a gathering of top automotive and business media at the national drive event for the 2015 Genesis, Hyundai announced a compelling pricing package for the all-new premium sedan. Hitting showroom floors later this month, Genesis starts at $38,000 for the well-equipped 3.8L V6 and $51,500 for the 5.0L V8 model. The combination of bold design, superb driving dynamics, unmatched standard technology and attractive pricing positions Genesis as the premium sedan to beat.

"The all-new Genesis rivals the best premium sedans in the world, at a price point many thousands of dollars less," said Dave Zuchowski, president and CEO, Hyundai Motor America. "Our 2015 Genesis represents a bold step forward for Hyundai and reinforces the successful strategy of marketing our premium models under the Hyundai brand umbrella, rather than a costly separate luxury brand sales channel. As a result, we're able to pass the benefits of this strategy directly to our valued customers."

Compared to the 2014 model, the 2015 Genesis delivers significantly more standard content. This includes an all-new interior and exterior design, 8-inch navigation with rearview camera, paddle shifters, hill hold control, power folding outside mirrors, driver knee airbag, power height adjustable passenger seat, power lumbar passenger seat, HD radio, 4.3-inch TFT LCD cluster display, Hyundai's Blue Link® telematics system, SiriusXM® Travel Link®, a telescoping steering wheel, rear 1-touch up power windows and rain sensing wipers.
