J.D. Power and Associates officially designates Hyundai Genesis as its most appealing midsize premium car in the 2009 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) StudySM.
The J.D. Power and Associates APEAL award measures what consumers like and dislike about their new vehicles during the first 90 days of ownership, particularly with the vehicle’s design, content, layout and performance. Genesis received high marks for its exterior design, engine and transmission, interior comfort, and technology and entertainment features totaling 864 points – 26 points above the midsize premium car segment average. In addition, the Hyundai brand made a 16 point improvement from 2008.
“We are thrilled to accept this J.D. Power and Associates award as it truly signifies the satisfaction and pride Genesis owners have for their cars,” said Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai’s vice-president of National Sales. “Genesis offers luxurious features and performance quality at a value unmatched by any other vehicle in its segment. And with awards like APEAL, it is clear Genesis is more than meeting expectations for consumers in the market for a premium car.”
“Throughout the years, vehicle models achieving high APEAL scores have been shown to benefit from faster sales, less need for cash incentives and higher profit margins on each vehicle sold,” said J.D. Power and Associates.
The J.D. Power and Associates APEAL award will join the growing number of Genesis honors and accolades including North American Car of the Year (a first for a Korean auto manufacturer,) Kiplinger’s Best New Model for 2009, AutoPacific’s Vehicle Satisfaction Award, and more. Genesis also contributed to Hyundai’s ranking last month in the J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study, as Hyundai ranked the highest non-premium nameplate and fourth overall – up from thirteenth the previous year. Hyundai’s Genesis sedan sets a new benchmark in the premium car category. With a starting price of just $33,000, Genesis includes performance and luxury features typically found on vehicles costing thousands of dollars more.

Voted 2009 North American Car of the Year at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, the Hyundai Genesis 4.6 sedan that arrived in our garage had a lot to live up to. We were ready to cast aside biases based on our experience with previous Hyundai cars and see if the Genesis really could come up to the level of luxury set by brands such as Mercedes-Benz and Lexus. It seems Hyundai wants you to judge the car for what it is before you know what kind it is.
The Genesis does an excellent job of asserting Hyundai’s new image, with cabin materials consistent with a luxury car and a very smooth-running power train. Cabin tech is equivalent to Lexus circa 2005, and is blown away by the similarly priced Li

The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe shares its name with the Genesis sedan, but that’s effectively where the sharing stops. Yes, the Coupe’s uplevel 3.8-liter V6 is similar (though not identical) to the sedan’s base engine, and yes, the cars roll on the same basic platform. Drive them back to back, though, and you’ll think they might as well be from different planets. While the Coupe is laudably comfortable and refined, it has none of the sedan’s plush, isolated character. It’s a genuinely sporting car that can run with its benchmark, the Infiniti G37 coupe, in all respects save straight-line acceleration. If you’re looking for a stylish coupe with serious performance, the Genesis Coupe is one of the best deals on the market.
