Hyundai announces US pricing for Genesis
Luxury large car offers V6 and V8 power, but won't be coming to AustraliaThe Genesis is Hyundai's new luxury large car. It's bigger than the Grandeur and offers both V6 and V8 power in a rear-wheel drive package.
We've already revealed the car (more here), but now we can tell you that the car -- which Hyundai anticipates will take the brand further upmarket -- will go on sale in the US for $33,000.
That price, as reported by American industry publication, Automotive News, applies to the entry-level 3.8-litre V6. A further $5000 outlay ($38,000 in total) is required from buyers in the market for the Genesis powered by the 4.6-litre DOHC V8.
With no plans to build the car in RHD -- and no expression of interest on the part of Hyundai Australia -- the Genesis is unlikely to reach us, but the Genesis Coupe, which is based on the same platform, remains a prospect for the local market.
Plainly, for that to happen, the platform will need to be adapted for RHD -- and that paves the way for the sedan to be sold here too, if the company chooses.
