5 Reasons Why Hyundai Genesis’ The Best AWD Sedan On The Market

The all-new Genesis luxury sedan, which has been fully redesigned for the 2015 model year, has proved to be a superb vehicle!

It has gotten nothing but rave reviews from the customers and the automobile media.

For the new model year, the Genesis is available with the brand’s all-new HTRAC all-wheel-drive system.

Let’s take a look at some reasons that make the Genesis G80 one of the best AWD sedans currently on the U.S. market today.

1. Fantastic Exterior Design

It’s fair to say that the 2015 Hyundai Genesis has gone for an upscale look with its sleek exterior design.

The fluidic design that has become synonymous with Hyundai design has been refined to give the Genesis a more premium look and feel.

From the front, the hexagonal grille shows that this is a car that means business, with the rear also having a look that is truly dynamic.

Surface details have been replaced by elegant body sections, giving the Genesis a grown-up elegance.

The distance from front to back is longer than the outgoing model, while the overhangs have been shortened.

Put together, it’s a design that is meant to show the high-performance capabilities of the Genesis.

2. Luxury on the inside

It’s not just the driver who benefits from the changes made to the cabin.

It’s a spacious, comfortable interior that has been designed to please driver and passenger, alike.

The intuitive instrument panel is driver-friendly, to be sure, and the use of smart design creates a flow where all of the parts seems to come together as one.

There are premium materials used throughout, as well as an ergonomic seat design that will leave you relaxed and comfortable, even on the longest of rides.

3. Upgraded Platform, HTRAC AWD System

There is a redesigned platform on the Hyundai Genesis that now offers an available HTRAC AWD system without using any components from the old platform.

High-strength steel is now used on more than 50% of the platform composition, resulting in a 16% increase in torsional rigidity and a 40% increase in bending rigidity when compared to the old architecture, which itself was considered top notch.

The end result is a platform that is stiffer in both torsional and bending rigidity than the BM$ 5-Series.

4. Incredible safety features

An incredible selection of active safety features, known collectively as Sensory Surround Safety, is available in the Genesis.

The features in place have been designed to make all the occupants of the car as safe as possible, and even help protect the safety of other drivers sharing the road with you.

The Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system is a Hyundai first, using sensor fusion technology to help the driver avoid or lessen a potential impact.

The Hyundai Genesis uses the system to apply the brake automatically when the sensors detect that a collision may be imminent due to a number of different factors.

The Lane Departure Warning System and Smart Cruise Control are brought into play to make the AEB system all the more effective.
