The nanny supervision can be deactivated with a button push, enabling much more driver-infused finesse in the dance of man and machine. And that tango is less expensive than one might think.
The value equation
Hyundai’s reputation for over-delivering remains intact with the launch of the Genesis Coupe. With a minimum ask of $24,495, buyers receive a sports coupe that not only looks sensational but has the performance to match.
Even at its top end, which is full of luxury and V6 performance, the tag only rises to $36,795.
