2008 Hyundai MSN Autos
The Korea-based automaker made the move upscale earlier this year with the introduction of the new Veracruz premium SUV—currently the most expensive model in the Hyundai lineup. Early next year Hyundai will take the brand another step higher with the introduction of an all-new rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan. Based on the Genesis concept that debuted at the New York Auto Show in April, the new sedan will be available with V6 or V8 power; the latter with a promised output of “well over 300 horsepower.” The concept features a sport suspension, an all-new Tau V8 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. Other features are HID headlights, Bluetooth technology, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), an HD radio, satellite radio, heated and cooled seats and eight airbags. Time will tell how much of this makes it to the production version. Hyundai expects the new luxury sedan to compete with the BMW 5-Series or Mercedes-Benz E-Class; however, being a Hyundai, the new sedan should be a great value, with pricing likely to start below $30,000
