2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Trims and Specs

The 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe wants to impress right off the line, so even its base trim – the 2.0T – starts with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Attach it to your choice of a 6-speed manual or 5-speed shiftable automatic. While cloth can be found covering the front bucket seats, leather wraps the tilt steering wheel. It also has air conditioning, cruise control and a full power package. A CD/MP3 player comes with satellite radio, digital media connection, USB and Bluetooth. Rear glass is covered by a defogger, while up front automatic headlights take the thought out of illumination. 18-inch alloys conceal assisted four-wheel antilock disc brakes, and things are kept civil with the help of traction and stability control. Finally, six standard airbags are included across the trim lineup.

With the same 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, it’d be easy to dismiss the 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe's 2.0T R-Spec as a form rather than function trim, all show and no go. But with upgraded four-wheel antilock disc brakes, a re-engineered sport suspension and a limited-slip differential, the R-Spec has plenty of spunk to match its sparkle. 19-inch alloys are a further upgrade over 18-inch base units. You’ll even get an aesthetic upgrade in the form of leather-accented upholstery, but you’ll have to do without cruise control and automatic headlights, as they’re deleted with this trim level. You’ll still get a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a CD and MP3 player with digital media connection, USB and Bluetooth and a full power package. Transmission choices remain a 6-speed manual or 5-speed shiftable automatic, and safety is handled by traction and stability control as well as six standard airbags.

With the Premium version of the 2.0T trim of the 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe, you’ll get upgrades and features like automatic climate control and a power sunroof. The driver will also enjoy a power bucket, with cloth upholstery still found throughout. The stereo is upgraded to an Infinity system, still complimented by satellite radio, digital media connection and USB as well as Bluetooth. The power package also includes keyless access and start here, and a navigation system has been added as well. You’ll also get a universal garage door opener, compass and an automatic rear-view, features not found in the 2.0T. It’s powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine mated to a 5-speed shiftable automatic or 6-speed manual transmission. The leather-wrapped steering wheel has stereo controls and is a tilt unit. The 2.0T Premium also comes with automatic headlights, a rear defogger and 18-inch alloy wheels. Traction and stability control start the safety features, but there are also assisted four-wheel antilock disc brakes and six standard airbags.

For a real performance upgrade, the 3.8 R-Spec trim of the 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe offers V6 power from a 3.8-liter engine. You’ll also get foglights, a feature not offered on the 2.0T R-Spec trim, but otherwise the two cars are identical. It gets the same upgraded four-wheel antilock discs and sport suspension, as well as a limited-slip differential. Leather-accent upholstery is a slight nod to style here, and the same could be argued about the 19-inch alloys. The leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel holds controls for the CD/MP3 player, which also comes with USB, digital media connection and Bluetooth. A full power package is included as well here. 6-speed manual and 5-speed shiftable automatics are transmission choices, and safety is handled by traction and stability control as well as six standard airbags.

The 3.8 GT trim of the 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe trades in a turbocharged 4-cylinder for a 3.8-liter V6 mated to a 6-speed automatic with manual shift gate. In addition to the power upgrade, the power package is massaged as well to include heated front seats and heated power mirrors with integrated turn signals, and the driver’s bucket is now a power unit. There’s also a rear-obstacle detection system included here, along with front foglights. Besides the power upgrade, the biggest change here is the inclusion of leather upholstery, to match that already covering the tilt steering wheel. A power sunroof and automatic climate controls mean natural or manufactured comfort. An Infinity stereo system includes satellite radio, USB, digital media connection and Bluetooth. A navigation system will make sure you get where you’re going, and a garage door opener will make your arrival even easier. You’ll get keyless access and start, automatic headlights, a rear defogger and 18-inch alloy wheels. Traction and stability control are standard, as well as four-wheel antilock discs and six airbags.

Don’t be confused – despite being named as such, the 3.8 Track trim of the 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is not a race-ready beast. Instead, it’s weighed down with all the features the other trims are missing. Automatic climate controls, navigation, leather, heated power buckets and an upgraded Infinity sound system all wait to entice. The 3.8-liter V6 shouldn’t have any trouble hauling it all around, especially with your choice of 6-speed transmissions – manual or automatic with manual shift. You’ll get keyless access and start, as well as a full power package including sunroof and heated power mirrors with integrated turn signals. Automatic headlights are xenon here, and a rear spoiler out back announces the exclusivity of this trim. It has a sport suspension and a limited-slip differential attached to 19-inch alloy wheels. Safety is handled by stability and traction control, larger four-wheel antilock disc brakes and six airbags.
