Model:Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T
Starting Price: $26,499
Overview: Turbocharged power, striking looks, a surprisingly roomy cabin and exciting driving dynamics culminate in the high-value Genesis Coupe 2.0T. Packing a twin-scroll turbocharger and direct injection, the two-litre engine makes a potent 274 horsepower. That’s sent to the rear wheels by a six-speed manual or a new 8-speed automatic. Standard are 18-inch wheels, interior accent stitching, automatic climate control and steering-wheel mounted audio controls. Hood vents, LED lighting accents and fog lamps help round out the package.
Pros: Genesis Coupe 2.0T is one of the most powerful vehicles on the road relative to its price—and has the moves to match. This is a model quickly gaining a positive reputation with new car shoppers and tuners alike. Overall bang-for-the-buck is hard to beat where power and styling are concerned.
Cons: The 2.0T engine lacks any sort of excitement in the sound effects department, since the turbocharger effectively robs it of a pleasing exhaust note.
Noteworthy: An available R-Spec model upgrade fits a variety of track-day ready upgrades, including Brembo brakes, larger wheels, a unique suspension calibration and a Torsen Limited Slip Differential.
