HYUNDAI TAKES ON LUXURY CARMAKERS WITH ALL-NEW GENESIS
By NITISH S. RELE - editor@khaasbaat.com



First things first, as they say. As in the all-new 2009 Hyundai Genesis is equipped with the Korean automaker's first rear-wheel-drive system. Another first is an 8-cylinder engine. And to top it all, it's the carmaker's debut into the already-crowded luxury sport sedan market ruled by Cadillac, BMW, Lexus and Mercedes.

Can Hyundai pull it off? From the looks (and out test-drive) of the Genesis, we are tempted to answer in the affirmative. The ride is offered in two trims: 3.8-liter V-6 (290 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 264 pounds-feet of torque at 3500 rpm) or the 4.6-liter V-8 (375 hp at 6000 rpm and 333 pounds-feet of torque) engines. Equipped with a Continuously Variable Valve Timing, the 3.8-liter and 4.6-liter Genesis can go 0 to 60 mph in 6.2 and 5.7 seconds respectively.
