2013 Hyundai Genesis Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
After a major refresh of a 2009 debut for 2012, Hyundai's luxurious rear-wheel-drive (RWD) full-size sedan moves into 2013 with an improved optional infotainment system with 8-inch touchscreen and basically only the new trims introduced for 2012. That leaves just 2 trims for 2013, the basic Genesis 3.8L, powered by the new direct-injected 333-hp 3.8-liter V6, or the direct-injected 429-hp V8-powered 5.0L R-Spec. Looking at driver reviews, eliminating the 4.6-liter V8 and any option for the 5-liter without the R-Spec's sporting suspension could be a big mistake. Everything is there for an excellent mid-luxury offering, including stellar build quality, but Hyundai chose a very crowded and very narrow market with this move, and that could slow its meteoric rise.
The drivetrain, cabin quiet and materials are all up to par with its luxury competition, and typical of Hyundai, the Genesis's features exceed its price range. But for all its perks, the Genesis suffers from enough drawbacks—beyond being made by a company not typically associated with luxury—to turn up more than a few noses, even after turning their heads. As far as full-size sedans go, at no better than 28 mpg the Genesis is bound to not go as far as most between fill-ups even with a 19-gallon fuel tank, but the Genesis isn't an economical commuter. It's more like a fun touring, with more "touring" in the 3.8 and more "fun" in the R-Spec, but I say "more like" because neither one offers a great deal of road-tripping practicality. For instance, 6-foot-plus passengers can enjoy any of its 5 seats, though none of those seats fold down for additional storage above the trunk's 16 cubic feet, and the steering wheel doesn't telescope unless you opt up for it. In other words, a maker not of typical luxury pedigree has made a full-size sedan not of typical luxury pedigree, so a detailed test-drive is a must.
While the new engines are still drool-worthy, the R-Spec joined the lineup for 2012 to a mix of praise and criticism. Its 429-hp and 376-lb-ft/torque V8 performs admirably well, but the 8-speed shiftable automatic (which became the Genesis standard for 2012) tends to hold it back to roughly 5.1 seconds to 60 mph with sluggish downshifts. Its suspension won't win any rally cup, but it will offer an expectedly rough ride with reasonable if not exhilarating response for its sport tuning. Fuel economy is a lackluster 16 mpg city/25 highway, but at least the R-Spec can use regular fuel, although premium is recommended. The V6 is good for 333 hp and 291 lb-ft of torque and a competitive 6.4 seconds to 60 mph, and though this one is happy with a regular diet, fuel economy is barely improved at 18/28.
While its performance could easily disappoint the most particular drivers, build quality is better than most luxury makes, and in terms of feature bang for your buck, there's never a better maker than Hyundai. Even the base 3.8L comes equipped with features like alloy wheels, automatic headlights, LED running lights, automatic wipers, leather upholstery, an auto-dimming rear-view, automatic dual-zone climate control, keyless ignition and entry, heated front seats, Bluetooth and iPod connectivity with a 7-speaker system and CD player. A fully-loaded 3.8L only misses out on 1 inch in wheel size, auto-dimming side mirrors and the performance bits that make the R-Spec unique. Highlights of those optional features include a 17-speaker Lexicon sound system, full leather interior, memory for driver's settings, rear-view camera, adaptive cruise control, sensors galore and Hyundai's BlueLink telematics system, just to name a few.

Great car...rides like new after 167,000 miles and the features are still working. I have followed the suggested maintenance schedule. No additional repairs, so far. I am considering replacing it with a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid to get AWD and better safety features to compliment my 74-years-old declining reflexes. I have owned other more expensive vehicles, but Hyundai has become my go to car company. One can get a superb vehicle at a reasonable price. In terms of comparison, I previously owned a BMW 5-series and Mercedes Benz E-Class automobiles. My only con with the 2013 Gensis was never getting a tire match that provided better traction in rainy weather. Oh well, that may have been the case because I like a plushy ride. Jan 20, 2022

The Hyundai Genesis had not even entered my thoughts when I started looking at used Nissan Maxima, Toyota Camry and Lexus ES 350’s. I happened to test drive one that I saw at a dealership and was totally surprised by this model. The fact that it drives like a dream and is standard with loads of bells and whistles, yet doesn’t carry the overbearing price tag of euro luxury car made it my new target. The 3.8 liter is incredibly responsive and still averages 23 mpg certainly adds to its appeal also. Wry happy to have found what I wanted.May 15, 2021

2nd Genesis RSpec. Like the ride and love the power. The car is a decent value. There are two in the driveway now. Needed a 2nd car and a deal came up to good to pass. Always room for improvement on any car. Nicer than man daughters E320 and more affordable than an AMG. Also cheaper to maintain. The ride is comparable as well.Apr 24, 2020
