2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Despite wild rumors and innuendo surrounding a substantial 2012 redesign and the possible inclusion of the 5.0-liter V8 utilized in the Genesis sedan, it looks like the Coupe will coast into dealerships with only one small change this year. Thankfully, it’s a small change with a big result – 27 extra horses under the hood for the V6. Direct injection is responsible for the bump, and it should mean a significant improvement in performance, especially with the low weight and RWD design of the Genesis Coupe’s architecture.
This should provide further ammunition in the I4 vs. V6 debate, where the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine has many people saying less is more. No word yet on how the extra power will affect fuel economy, but given Hyundai’s commitment to efficiency of late – the turbo 4 still manages 30 mpg on the highway with either the 6-speed manual or the 5-speed automatic – we can assume the penalties won’t be too harsh.
The V6 is more proactive here, with 6 speeds regardless of manual or automatic choice, and this should help its efficiency as well. But a car like the Genesis Coupe isn’t all about efficiency, especially with trim designations like 2.0T Premium or R-Spec and 3.8 Grand Touring, Track or R-Spec. While even the base 2.0T trim is well-equipped with standard features like stability and traction control, a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel, satellite radio and automatic headlights, the Premium offers notable advantages like automatic climate controls, navigation, an Infinity sound system and a power sunroof. The Grand Touring holds all the cards, however, with leather upholstery, heated seats and mirrors, fog lights and a rear-obstacle detection system. While the R-Spec trims are performance-oriented versions of the base trim, adding a sport suspension, limited-slip differential and upgraded brakes, the Track trim actually puts some of the comfort and convenience features back, offering all the performance options along with heated leather seats, navigation, automatic climate controls, the Infinity sound system and more. You’ll be able to have all the advantages of the stripper trims and still enjoy a full power package including sunroof, xenon headlights and a garage-door opener.
Hyundai recently released pictures of the upcoming 2013 Genesis Coupe, and it has obviously taken direction from its Veloster. While a handsome offering, many are criticizing it as too similar to its stablemates and therefore not unique enough to warrant approval. As is, this last year of the current Genesis Coupe styling will be the most powerful yet. Now about those V8 rumors…

After finally driving the car for the first time, I can see why people like the car. It has a racecar feel with a James Bond kinda vibe to it. Break felt a bit heavy, but thats my opinion. Its still very fun to drive, easy to maneuver, and gas isnt too terrible as well. Just be careful with cars like this as it can get you in trouble in the wrong situations. i.e Speeding.
Good Luck!Jun 13, 2023

Get a 2013 or above if going to get a 2.0 turbo model., much more HP, and just better in all regards really. Even the 3.8 is better. What Im looking for now.Oct 03, 2020

Its a very fun car, with massive tuning potential whether it be the 2.0T or the 3.8. Both have awesome tuning potential but they 2.0T can handle more horespower due to it being boosted from the factory. Its a very comfortable car to drive, handles like a champ, and rides smooth. HOWEVER, if you guys are into tuning, the 2.0T transmission CANNOT handle more than 270 torque(for manual transmission) and the automatic CANNOT handle more than 250 torque. So if you want to hit 300whp on the 2.0T I suggest keeping the torque near the 240-270. Otherwise its a good car. The 3.8 transmission can handle 444 torque for both manual and transmission. All in all its an awesome car!Jun 25, 2020

I love the power and styling of the genesis coupe. The 3.8 V6 makes 306hp and 266ft pounds of torque. The RWD torsen limited slip differential makes the car handle much better than you would expect and what people don't realize is that it's a drifting car not a straight line speed car even though it can beat a 350z in a drag. Overall it handles great, looks great, and is a Monster through corners and in a straight line.Aug 19, 2014

I love how it corners! The sound of the engine and the turbo is AWESOME! The rumble of the pipes on take-off is pretty cool, too. When entering the freeway I love that I am able to quickly accelerate to avoid possible collisions.
This vehicle is for someone who likes to be sort of Flashy as they cruise.Dec 29, 2012

Best car I've ever owned. Turns heads wherever you go, full of power with
the new 2013 2.0T pulling 270 horsepower and the old 210. You'll never
be tired of driving when you drive it. Worth every penny, back seat is
cramped however. Apr 14, 2012

Good acceleration, handling can be improved.
First sight exterior may be overstyled but looks good after a period of time. Quality
of interior is good, parts assembled well.
Good gas mileage for a V6 with 340hp.
Overall, this car is a real dealNov 18, 2011
