Hyundai in the past decade has really turned itself around as a brand. One minute it was a car company that nobody took seriously whatsoever, to now winning best driver car of the year awards with the new Veloster N. However one of the biggest shifts in the companies history was when they built what many say is the spiritual successor to the Hyundai Tiburon - except this is how it should have been all along. Rear wheel drive, turbocharged 4 cylinder, and affordable. This is the Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0 from 2013 and is the second generation of the Genesis Coupe. Knowing what the first generation drives and feels like, I was curious to see the changes they made a few years later other than just a facelift. This one in particular is loud, makes a ton of noise, and pops all day long. So how is the Genesis Coupe as a sports car? Let's talk about it. Thanks for watching and new uploads every Tuesday,Thursday, and Saturday!

What do you think of the KDM scene?
ThatDudeinBlue I think it’s smaller but growing scene that could become bigger
I think its definitely overlooked and doesn't get much attention at all. The BK2 Genesis Coupes are great in my opinion and I would suggest more people at least check them out
Do a bk2 3.8!
Tanner Rangel its pretty fuckin neat
Underrated af
Engine sounds like a combination of a Golf R and a Renault Megane R26
It sounds like a 2 stroke but lower pitched
It’s a Mitsubishi Lancer Engine
I'm the 200th like!
@@connoisseuroftigolbitts other way around Hyundai designed the block. And Mitsubishi changed it for their 4B11T a simple google search can find this info very easily
I let you try out a turbo 3.8 sometime

Daddy ????
Is that what vtec feels like daddy?
FroztiProductions 😂😂😂😂😂
I like how rare they seem, they only made the bk2 for 3 years, I rarely see them when I’m driving mine but at car meets they all come out to play :)
They made it for 2 years. 2013 and 2014
@@mostafamirzaei8792 they made it from 2013-2016.... idk where you’re getting information from 😂😂
@@Cooobie they made the 2.0t version for two years. This video is about 2.0 lol not 3.8
@@mostafamirzaei8792 bk2 is the face lift body style in general, regardless of the engine they both look the same 😂😂😂🤡
So many at meets in Canada
I believe the genesis coupe was a project Hyundai wanted to complete that started with the tiburon
jordantaicho yes, the tiburon is the genesis’ older brother. Just fwd brother
THE FriendlyPotato1 but wasn’t the replacement for the Tiburon was the veloster
The veloster replaced the tiburon in their lineup yes but the codename used for the genesis during development was the same as the tiburon not to mention they both used a four cylinder base engine and a six cylinder secondary engine. The genesis was just stronger
Tiburon platform GK, GK2. Genesis platform BK. BK2
I'm just so glad they made it rwd
the genesis looks so good in white
Now I just need some carbon 😋
@@CarlyleWhite yeah it does, RiP to mine lol

Lol i saw the Genesis crew at Import Alliance too. They rolled in deep, and even came in sorted by color. It was actually pretty cool to see.
Watched every single genesis coupe review you’ve done David!!!! Loved each of them just as much as the last! I can’t wait until you review the flagship Genesis ......THE 3.8 BK2. I can tell you’re one of the most knowledgeable TH-camrs when it comes to car reviews today, you’ve mentioned things in the video that only Gen coupe owners would know from driving their cars everyday...You mentioned them throughout the video with only minor seat time!!!! 100% you are the go-to guy for ALL SPORTS CAR REVIEWS!
BK Boyzz th-cam.com/video/WsB63HREW40/w-d-xo.html
I own a 2.0t Genesis, bought it new in 2012 ( BK2 model) when I was fresh out of college. I think they are great cars and pretty underrated. For under $27,000 I didn't feel there was any new car that even came close.
I made 408whp/330wtq on 91 w/ a GTX3076 before my LS swap . That was with a stock clutch, stock bottom end and just basic mods. I make quite a bit more money now than when I was fresh out of college and own 5 vehicles, but I can't bring myself to sell my GC. I just use as a fun DD and tinker car now, but I always get compliments on it. This winter I'm half way through completing a 6.0 LS swap with an LSA supercharger, but will have it done by spring.
It always bothers me that I never really see a good example of the car being reviewed. Not to be a hater but the KDM scene tends to be more about looks than speed. Most of the GC's around here are slammed on camber with little to no performance mods. This one here doesn't sound great (imo) and I can't stand that crackle pop tune.
Nevertheless, it was nice to see it being reviewed years after they went out of production.
I think these are good cars for kids in high school trying to get something with good potential without having to pay a ton of money. You can pick up a low mileage BK2 for $10k, put $3k in mods and have a car making 400hp. I wish there was something like this when I was in highschool.
Good fucking lord lol 400hp on the stock clutch, how long did that poor thing last? The previous owner before I bought my 2.0 burned through the stock clutch just from a 20lb boost tune with stock turbo. Lucky for me he installed a heavy duty aftermarket one right before selling me the car
Is the 2.0t a reliable car ? To daily drive I’m tryna buy one
Intro gave me nostalgic vibes of your channel in like 2016... love it
You need to drive a 2013 2.0 genesis that’s manual. And has an exhaust so it’s not just yelling
5:17 So much popping 😂
It was absurd.
If only you were in Texas, I'd let you review my BK2 3.8L
William Toomer II th-cam.com/video/WsB63HREW40/w-d-xo.html
😁😂
@@ProdigePerformance That was a nice pull
So glad to see some more light shined on these cars! I absolutely love mine!
After getting a 2014 2.0t I was pleased for awhile, but craved for more power. Getting a exhaust, air intake and tuning the car are a must for the car. The tune is what really wakes the car up. Imagine forged internals, a manifold replacement and bigger turbo with those 🤤
Glad you enjoyed my gen bro 👍🏻 (also I hate the way my car sounds on camera) 😬
Bumper color isn't the same as body. what happened?
@@nikoong1054 sorry this took a while, but as he mentioned in the video it was pretty trashed by the last guy that owned it, the front bumpers condition is from that. The build is still progressing and you can follow it on my channel of you want. :) This car has quite the story and a lot of it I haven't told yet but will soon.
I’m glad these cars are getting some love. I had problems with my 3.8 manual, but it sounded incredible and got compliments everywhere. I think the BK2 will age really nicely, the styling is not overdone, despite the fake hood vents, and it’s a solid alternative to the Z/G37. I hope Hyundai continues to build a better reputation amongst enthusiasts
Yes, they also make functional hood vents for these. The stock ones just pop out and new functional one can just pop in their place
@@samclark6573 bruh I’m about to put some in mine. I have a 2013 2.0T 😎
Yess... KDM getting some spotlight. Their VIP section is pretty awesome too
I'm an owner of a 2013 2.0t bk2 Also and it's full Bolt on ! Love this car it's my daily all year long in Québec, so even in the snow that work fine but I add an LSD and the car it's a complete différent expérience !! Such a Nice community too ! Nice review !

Hey David, will you be checking out Automotion this year in Wisconsin Dells?
Happy to see some light on the genesis! I own one and although I'm selling mine they're honestly such a nice platform!
The transmission shifts like a CVT, like the transmission is playing catch up with the engine.
always slipping
It’s trash
You've clearly never driven an auto BK2 like in this video (8-speed)
@@ChristianGiorgioToronto lmao exactly my thought. The BK2 is very much snappier from Bk1s. Not to mention its much more reliable
@@Alanski340 likr your black ops videos
Great video as ever!
The Genesis Coupe is what started it all
Now Hyundai has a whole Genesis lineup and the Veloster N can’t wait to see what they got in store in the future!
Genesis is it's own brand, it had Hyundai in the name because they weren't big enough in the states to have their own dealerships, so they were partnered with Hyundai to sell them. Gen coupes aren't hyundais but the velosters are
disappointed that the UK never got the Genesis Coupe (just the shitty i30N).
@@KungFuRaiden when the gen coupe was in production it was considered a Hyundai I believe. The genesis brand was created after they stopped production of the coupe
@@KungFuRaiden Why are you spouting a bunch of bullshit?
@@KungFuRaidenGenesis is still Hyundai. Its jis Hyundai's luxury brand. Like Lexus and Toyota, Acura and Honda, Infiniti and Nissan, Bentley, Lambo and VW etc etc.
I love my bk2 3.8 had it for 2 years now. Even after a cheap exhaust upgrade it sounds incredible. Functional hood vents are a must for this car tho, if you're pushing it in any capacity, not even to mention track, it NEEDS cooling upgrades. Power steering, coolant, and oil all run VERY hot on this car. There's some great aftermarket for those issues thankfully and plenty of room in the engine and on the grille to make those happen. This 2.0 even looks sweet. Hope they have good alternatives for 3.8 tune wise soon
5:18 from a certain angle, he lookes like Mr.beast.
David have you ran across anyone that has the Mazda 6 signature that makes more power than stock?
I love my genesis coupe. The 3.8 manual is the most fun car I’ve owned experience wise.
I’ve always loved the genesis, great video David !
i got a bk1 as my first car, I don't have the money yet to upgrade it but i have some fun stuff planned. First things first is that SFR tuned ecu that adds like 50hp, then an exhaust, then wheels (konig lookin good), then BOV, then wrap, then a new turbo. I'm 17 like this car's previous owner, but im a smart driver and im so excited to make this car what i want it to be. Got mine for 5k in fairly good condition with some interior cleaning.
edit: sfr not frs
The way the 2.0 opens up on full throttle is one of my favorite car sounds ever. The Genesis coupe definitely deserves more attention and you can’t beat the price. Also plz do a 3.8 review, it’s only just !!!!
Gen Coupes are so underrated and crazy inexpensive! The V6 is the way to go with 348hp from factory!
ND they sound nuts
Walter FJK they aren’t underrated they are trash. The real stock dyno numbers are 290ish hp and 240tq
@@i_read_bad_reviews
Yeah... Crank Horsepower vs Wheel Horsepower... Name literally any car that doesn't have drivetrain losses.
You can't...
Christian Giorgio it’s not about drivetrain loss. It’s about which companies lie about the power they make. BMW for example undercuts their numbers.
@@i_read_bad_reviews
Auto manufacturers cannot lie about MAX engine outputs. With that being said the BK2 3.8 does indeed need to make at least 348bhp to be legal. Just like with your BMW reference; If BMW lists a 320i with 180bhp it needs to make at least 180bhp to be legal even though it's real number maybe 180bhp or higher like 220bhp. This applies to all manufacturers.
If you thought that had a much improved driving experience, you should check out a Blood Type Racing tuned Bk2 2.0t. Also, the brembos and lsd on the R-spec package are pretty great and just make the car feel even more planted and performance oriented.
I've owned my '13 Genny 5.0 R Spec for two years now and I won't let it go. The thing's a BEAST! Just so much fun to watch people's faces when you do a good highway pull...
I always roll up to the many genesis coupes in my community and we are a cool group of peeps! Love your genny looks clean!
Review a 2019 R-Spec or Veloster N next! That’s would be awesome.
I feel like an update review of Tyler Cordura’s Genesis would be great now that he has a bigger turbo pushing about +400whp, a cleaner wide body, and much more. It has changed a lot.
Love the video. But whats the song in the intro? I like it
I absolutely love my genesis coupe! It always brings a smile to my face when I drive it!
hi David. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c i knew it was going to be good
I have the first gen 3.8 track. Love it other than 5th gear lockout under load. Engine mounts fixed that right up and a base tune does wonders for the platform. I think Hyundai hit this car out of the park and I’m sad to see they discontinued them. Maybe we will see another Hyundai coupe come out in the future that will bring the genesis back to its former glory. I’ll keep mine until it falls apart. Have had no issues though for the past 4 years I’ve owned it.
The face you made when it kept popping is how I feel every time. 😂
Good video bro🤟 we need to get my accord on the channel. See ya at IA
I have a BK1 2.0T for 10yrs now and I still love it. I might upgrade the turbo one day but stock engine it’s pretty good and fast enough for me. I’m not a fan of the BK2 front end. I prefer the Gen one. I do wish though that the Gen 1 had the twin scroll turbo.
These are seriously slept on, I mean I personally am getting the ultimate 3.8 ultimate edition soon because they sound better.
I have the 2015 3.8 Ultimate and it's a fun car to drive. It's a good entry level sports car in my opinion
William Toomer II Man I cant wait to get the chance to own one! I’ve test drove the 3.8 twice now and I’ve fallen in love with it. I’m young and I’m working hard to pay off my 2009 Honda Accord ex v6 sedan so that I can finally own one! I got 2k out of 7k to go😭
@@ahmadmorrow2749 if you get the 3.8 trust me on this exhaust set up... Ark midpipes/ H pipe into the isr racing exhaust. Its the best setup. I ran it personally and it sounds like a GTR. Backfires and shoots flames without a popcorn tune. If you want an video to hear it lemme know
Will Moir bro I’d love to hear it! I need advice on an exhaust set up
@Ahmad Morrow I'm a young guy too so I know where you're coming from. When you pay off your car you could try to use it as a trade in but you'll probably need a big down payment. The 3.8 is fun to drive and it looks good. Keep up the good work man! If you want it bad enough, you'll find a way to get it! You got this 👍🏻
I love my 18' Elantra Sport, I think it's the perfect daily and it actually gets good gains from bolt-ons and a tune. Also sounds really good in my opinion. Hyundai has come a long way and I think things are only going to get better.
I absolutely loooove this car, this is the car that made me seriously consider buying a Hyundai
By looking at the engine bay owner had a coolant hose blow and was running straight water. So many rust stains. But my daughter has an Elentra on coilovers and she gets so many compliments on the car. It's basic show no go, but gas mileage and reliability if amazing.
Second car I owned and loved the style and look of it, I have the slightly less common copper color, and looks great i find. first car I'm learning everything on, just rebuilt my engine and put a bigger turbo on it, couldn't be happier with it.
Is the 2.0 reliable looking to buy one
Would like to see one of these done right, no burble tune ,no straight pipe.
Chaun Piere Du Toit I don’t know what you call right, but on mine I have a full titanium exhaust and actual name brand parts with an actual tune 😂. No popcorn 🍿
And a six speed
I know someone who has a 13 Genesis Bk2 2 door sports coupe its upgraded nicely and looks spectacular
I have a 2011 3.8 track and a 2013 3.8 ultimate. Such amazing cars. So happy you reviewed it. People be sleeping on the genesis. Mark my words 15yrs from now they will be looked at like a 240 is these days
I wanted a 350z/G35 but I wanted a back seat. Didn’t like the look of the G35 front end. Saw a 2015 gene ultimate 6MT 3.8 brembos and didn’t hesitate went and got it on the spot. Glad I made that choice.
defiantly wish we got these cars in Australia but we do have the tiburons so I have a 07 Tiburon myself and love it..
You should review the 2016 3.8 rspec and/or track. I have a pretty "empire state gray" example with 42k miles. I love it
I have a 2014 BK2 2.0T! Love my Genesis!
Been into the KDM thing for a good minute. When I get the motor back in the RD2 I'd gladly let you review it.
I had a heavily modded bk1 running 22psi. Funnest car I've ever owned. Years later I'm trading in my modded 9th gen civic for a bk2 this week. I missed these cars
KDM is pretty cool since it’s just Hyundai and Kia which are the same brand and all the cars share engines makes everything fare I mean you can get a Kia Optima with this engine and the early models (2011/2015) make more power about 275 the newer ones make 245 with that engine
Really wish they put the 4.6 and later the 5.0 in it. It would have (probably) been the most affordable V8 rear wheel drive coupe off the showroom floor, and that isn't a bad place to be. I think it would have changed the game.
Are those seats stock? If not where did you get them? Thanks man
Next time you come to the Boston area I'll show you some much better gens. There's some monsters being built up here plus you can finally drive a properly set up Genesis. Both the 2.0 and 3.8
Dude's car is still nice though! Just wish a review comes out with a faster gen
I have a 2014 BK2 3.8 in the same pearl white.
Great car!
Do you think 3.8 Liter is louder or is 2.0t as loud as the 3.8?
i love the genesis although i always felt like something was missing from both the 2.0 and 3.8 versions. I hope genesis brand gives coupes a try, because the new design language would be dope on a coupe now. Also that exhaust sounds terrible
th-cam.com/video/WsB63HREW40/w-d-xo.html
Love the intro music...mind sharing?
Just got a 2016 2.t Its so much fun to drive.
Love the genesis community! we have also done many reviews on the new luxury genesis!
In Europe, especially Germany, Hyundai is really hyped and popular, because of their i30 N hatchback, there also is a fastback version. Really good car for the price, but I believe you didn't get it in the States. I don't think we got the newest Veloster though.
Ive got a 2016 bk2 with the 3.8 and she is so fun
Anyone want to help diagnose something my aunt just bought a Hyundai Genesis coupe v6 2015 she’s having this weird issue where she’s blowing a lot of smoke in the back smells like oil any common problems on these motors ??
Everybody talks about the Veloster N, but the new Rspec got a lot of praise as well. Same engine, but they tuned it better with less weight and fixed the suspension.
Would be nice to see if someone did a restore and upgrade on the first gen Hyundai Pony. The design is decent as it was done by itaeldesign has the pure 60s70s euro look.. will be rare as to find one tho haha
Wonder if I can do these mods and make my Kia Sportage sound like this? lol
Cant wait to see what they do with the next gen coupe
MaximVelo th-cam.com/video/WsB63HREW40/w-d-xo.html
I'm still hoping to do a 4g63T swap in my 91 J1 Lantra, apparently it's pretty easy to do, pretty much a straight swap
Tsukuba Red 2.0t gen 1 owner here! And yes, David is 💯% correct about the bk1 gen coupe btw🤣
Idk if I trippin but the interior looks like a manual , but it has paddle shifters too ? Or am I tippen and it’s a automatic
Its an affordable project car for the typical Joe. I don't own a Hyundai but am currently looking into them as of now. So many other Car brands are abandoning sports cars and only focusing on crossovers/SUV's at the moment. Hyundai brings that 1990's car scene back and I am loving it.
I've been curious about those, since rear drive and manual, and have nice lines, but there's only one or two in town so far, so I haven't even seen one up close yet, just out on the road.
Big fan of the G35/37 and the Genesis coupe. I would love to have one myself
first 3 gears are actually very different from the 4th through 8th gears thats probably why you feel that way. Not to mention the downshift from 3rd down is a bit rough.
Hyundai Tiburon started the sport car for Hyundai but Tiburon wasn't a sport car more sporty looking car. Can't wait get my turbo Tiburon built done soon so you can review it. Will be getting another one with supercharger. Will love get a Genesis Coupe for a rear drive.
Wish you would have done a bk2 with the same mods but rspec standard version, definitely more fun just fyi....
I love my BK1 GT. I will say the gearbox is not the friendliest, but its so fun
I have the 13 bk2 3,8 6 speed with a few mods , smokes my 13 5.0 stang with ease.
finally after 7 years you review a geneis bk2
i love this gen coupe. it sounds amazing too
I think i made my decision im going with a génesis for sure 😍
Im 18 and this is my first car 🔥
Same, im 17 and im about to buy one.
Im a hyundai guy through and through. Multiple excels, a 2000 tiburon, 03 e gt, 03 elantra, 13 sonata. I too was thinking a 14 r spec turbo as a track car. Drove one, then i drove a miata....i have a 2002 nb2 miata in my garage. Lol
It was a good first try, if bierman had been apart of this program and design, it would have been a different beast.
The veloster n is the shit! Its a great car.
I love the car, and as we all know, if you have a proper custom exhaust fabricator, you could change the exhaust note to a much more pleasant tone. That particular car sounds like something is loose somewhere, also a manual is a must.
Genesis need to bring back the coupe.
I've been really attracted to the first gen Genesis turbo cars...it reminds me of the Hyundai Tiburons which neither needs body kits or lowering, just some nice 17 or 18" rims and go!💪
I like the Genesis ...they look pretty damn good too...and it's nice to see the KDM cars getting some love🤙🏿🤙🏿
Their low resale value makes them a good entry level tuner and if it has options the seats are nicer and you get brembos. Not the fastest car but it can be fun and the V6 won’t make a whole lot more than stock unless you boost it but the V6 can’t handle much boost.
I don’t know much about tuning but does having a popcorn tune hinder your performance at all? Or is it just not the best option for performance? So basically is it a good idea based on the performance alone.
No they don't do anything for performance tbh
Is the auto trans in these a dual clutch by chance
I used to have a 2011 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track BK1. It was a fun car, especially in manual, pretty slow but had just enough umph to get going. My only complaint about the BK1 is build quality. I had the Track edition so it was right under the R-Spec in terms of trim level but it felt pretty cheep. Closing the doors sounded like more of a clanging and less of a solid door close. Car would refuse to start when I was down to a little under the last quarter on gas (I would be going straight to the gas station) and at ~20k miles my synchro was starting to go bad. I had since sold it for a 2016 Camaro SS, much happier but yes a lot more expensive.
Summary: Not a bad car, Slow stock, Good Aftermarket support, Cheep, There is a reason they discontinued them.
