Hyundai launches All-New Genesis executive saloon in the UK

Hyundai’s new high-technology premium saloon, All-New Genesis, will be available in the UK from 2^nd April 2015, priced at £47,995 OTR.

The Genesis has a 3.8-litre V6 GDI engine that delivers power to the rear wheels, working in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic transmission for a smooth driving experience.

The exterior of the car incorporates clean, fluid lines which sweep down its flanks. A long wheelbase with minimal overhangs flows through to the interior as well. The All-New Genesis is equipped with an advanced driver infotainment system that displays detailed vehicle information on an 8” touch screen.

Advanced safety features include Smart Cruise Control and Automatic Emergency Braking. The company also claims to have the world’s first CO₂ cabin sensor, which monitors the quality of the cabin environment and helps protect the driver from the dangers of drowsiness. Four cameras offer a 360-degree view of the vehicle at all times, providing assistance to the Rear Cross Traffic Alert system which warns drivers of approaching hazards when reversing from a parking space. Blind Spot Detection monitors traffic around the car while on the road and warns of approaching hazards. A head-up display projects important information into the driver’s line of sight, while visibility is aided further by Bi-Xenon headlights equipped with automatic high-beam assist function.

Further, convenience features fitted as standard include the Smart Boot System and Puddle lights featuring the Genesis logo, which are equipped with an automatic-closing mechanism.
