Watching this in 2019 because I’m looking to buy a 2013 5.0 R -Spec with 33,000 miles on it to replace my old DD. It’s listed for only $19,000 and still has 4 years and 77,000 miles left on the original manufacturer warranty.... tempting
Shit it still is , just bought a 2013 5.0 r spec pearl white 94k miles for the winter and this car is amazing . im constantly in my sleeper bag when im on the road its hilarious
my Mercedes gl350 has been an absolute nightmare. more problems than every vehicle I have ever owned combined, x2! bought it for the diesel and good fuel economy but fuel economy sucks! after over $5000 in warranty repairs in the first couple months of owning it they now say it needs another $14,000 in repairs. I bought this thing with 69,000 miles on it because it had a full service history from ! Mercedes since it was new. now with 90,000 it decided it wanted to almost killed my family when the air suspension started acting up causing the left front wheel to spin when taking off and locking up when stopping. add that the the famous oil cooler leak that costs $3,000 to replace a $15 part along with new shocks, motor mounts, air suspension control valve block, ad blue tanks heater ($1,500 just for the part) sway bar links, two front wheel bearings, transmission shifts issues, second row seatbelt that has to be unbolted to get the second row seat to come back up, column module, steering angle sensor, glow plug control module, glow plugs, power lift gate that only closes when it wants to, turbo oil cooler seal leak, and I'm sure a few others I have forgotten to list. for God's sake, don't get a Benz. my Land Rover LR3, which was supposed to have bad reliability, only gave me 2 issues, alternator, and air suspension compressor because the air dryer went bad. oh, and a hub assembly that started making noise, and that was after 100,000 miles. I'm looking to trade that God awful pos for a 2013 Genesis that has only 6,900 miles on it for $25k.and tat 100,000 mile warranty gives my wife peace of mind. biggest regret I have was trading my 2013 Passat TDI SEL premium for this abomination.
I had a Mercedes tech tell me once a factory rep told him when he asked why their cars always were breaking down, the rep told him "it is an illusion of quality"...
This car has had my head turning, for the past year and always thought damn this is a really nice car. In my head I thought this car would cost around $70k, anyways I just found out through this video that it's a Hyundai and it cost less then $48k. I would definitely buy this car if I had the money .
This fixation on ever increased horsepower is ridiculous. I own a 2009 Genesis with the 4.6 liter V8. The car is a rocket! It's got 375 hp and can blow away almost anything on the road. And remember, it's not a sport car, it's designed as a full sized luxury car. It did not need a bigger engine and more power under the hood.
JackKangaroo1 I actually test drove the 2011 4.6L V8 version and my main complain driving wise (I won't count that the 2011 tech pack is not the same as the 2012 tech pack so it was missing some features I expected) was the massive delay between when you floor it and when the power kicks in. Do you get that in your car or could it have been an issue with just this one I tried? I even tried manually putting it in second gear and flooring it, but it would do almost nothing for 2 seconds then finally give me some power. It felt too much like old turbo lag despite being a n/a v8. I'm looking to buy a 2012 V6 but have not driven one yet. I'm hoping with the new transmission, engine and programming, it won't have that lag.
iSOBigD There is a slight lag when I first hit the gas but it's one second or less, not anything I would define as "massive," and it does feel sort of like a turbo lag. But the car is still quick off the line and the high end excelleration is where it really shines. I can go from 60 mph to 90 mph in the blink of an eye. In fact, the biggest problem I have is keeping the speed down below 80 or 90. The car is like a race horse, it just wants to run fast, so I resort to using cruise control most of the time.
JACK KANGAROO Hey, thanks for the reply. I actually purchased a 2012 V6 in the mean time and I love it. It gets to 2000rpm around 120kmph and the fuel economy was 6l per 100km (47 MPG) on a drive from Montreal to Niagara Falls and back so I'm super impressed with highway economy considering the really good acceleration. I definitely felt that the 2011 V8 (4.6L) was more laggy than my V6 with the newer transmission and engine. It could have been just that one car though, who knows... When I use Manual shifting in mine, it's great in any gear. The closest car in terms of performance feel and sound is the V8 Camaro SS I rented once so it's really nice to drive, plus it has the great interior, sound system and quiet ride. Definitely a really nice car, especially for the price, and I know what you mean about the cruise control, I use it a lot too cause you don't feel how fast you're going sometimes, it's just smooth and quiet.
+JackKangaroo1 However please keep in mind the vehicles the Genesis is trying to compete with (Mercedes E63 and BMW M5 both have over 500hp) The Genesis did need the HP increase. For the money the Genesis is alot of car. Id say this car is a win for Hyundai.
RSX250 I'm not sure who said the Genesis is competing with $100k sports sedans, but it's not. On price, it's competing with the C class, 3 series and A4. On paper it's competing with the E class, A6 and 5 series but they're tens of thousands of dollars more expensive with similar materials and features (optional on those brands) and weaker engines.
the 5.0 eats Beamers for lunch,..it's fun to launch past them at the green light, knowing their hapless owners paid twice the price for their tutonic rides
I've had that experience many times with my '09 Genesis. The 4.6 liter engine under the hood blows away 5 series Beemers and E-class Benz without even breaking a sweat. They couldn't catch me if they tried!
***** LOL I do that with my 4.6 Genesis also. As you probably know, the Equus is mechanically the same car as the Genesis. I saw one review on the Equus in which the reviewer began by saying, "Equus means horse and the logo is a pair of wings, so you could say that Hyundai is flipping the bird at the horses ass who would test drive this car and then still pay forty thousand dollars more for an S-class Mercedes."
Norm Cutter i like the genises dont get me wrong but you gotta be more specific as to what merc's your blowing away. Yes E320 or E350 for sure which is 90+% of E CLass cars but a E550, i doubt. I respect all cars since i owned all types and worked at dealers were ive had the pleasure of driving many different kinds of cars.
I have a 2012 5.0 rspec, i removed the intake flap and added a k&n air filter. The thing growls and it feels like it gained a extra 10 hp. I almost dont ever lose but cars like a ctsv and s63 amg pull on me once we hit around 80-90mph
AlmightyyGio Gio wassup , how many miles you have on your genny ? So you just added a regular k&n air filter or air intake ? Are you faster than the 2015-17 charger RT and scat pack ? And the 2015-17 q50 ?
mikexcanxjerk yo, i have only a k&n filter but i removed the intake flap that closes up when not under throttle so its always open now. I think i can beat them. The srt models before i can beat but i havent ever raced any infinitis except a g37
AlmightyyGio yeah see if you can race the newer Rt's with the 8 speed refresh models .. what's your combine city and highway MPG ? This video said they got like 21 mpg combine which is really good .
This car is missing a 2 BIG things for a performance sedan. PADDLE SHIFTERS, ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION. That would make it PERFECT! Sonata turbo has paddle shifters, why not this?
okay i love this dude (i grew up watching motorweek every saturday on tv) but am i the only one who laughed at 4:15 when he made the same hand gesture every 3 words ...?
The grille looks aftermarket and cheap. They need a Hyundai emblem in the center, make the horizontal bars smaller, & make it black chrome to match the headlight inserts. It's a pretty good package of Lexus LS tailpipes, Infinity M tail lamps, and Infinity instrument font design bundling.
Starts at $53K here in Canada. After taxes and whatever little options you're looking at $60K. I don't know if I'd spend $60K on a Hyundai even though it does perform well but I'll definitely will spend $30K or so on a 2 year old one though :)
13.2 in a quarter and with gov off it can reach up to 186 mph the 2012-2014 Genesis R-spec 5.0? The fastest time quarter mile time bone stock is 13.1 so the 13.5 is not correct.
Overall pretty nice. Although, the idle noise should be refined (0:52). It is a 5.0, make it sound like one. Not a muscle car, but just enough to let people know it's a serious car.
The Genesis definitely marks the beginning of Korean Luxury in the future.. I hope they give it a separate name like with the Toyota Lexus or Infinity badge.. As Hyundai does not relate to this level of car build and luxury ..Rebranding and New Marketing reqd with more options and packages..
There was an R Spec at the dealership near my house a few months ago, same color as this one. Not a bad car, but the standard model looks better than this in my opinion. My one gripe with the R Spec is the R Spec badge on the back looks and feels exceptionally cheap. It is not metal or chrome, it is a black rubber rectangle with raised lettering. I was sold on the Hyundai Genesis being the best deal on the market for this type of car until the new Chrysler 300 came along.
Man that interior is great except for that huge AVALON dashboard CD/Weather control stack !!.. and platicky buttons everywhere..They almost nailed NISSAN M37 interior too..this is a crossover luxury sedan at the lowest price possible..its still a good bet if u dont mind the badge...spec vs value vs badge.. You decide
I'm liking this but it sounds like Hyundai is still being sloppy and too conservative with their torque management. I've been in various late model automatic Hyundais and the torque nannying is beyond reproach... I know we want to keep warranty claims down but it's a little ridiculous. Anyways.. 106 is a decent but not stellar trap speed for a car like this.
I find this odd. The Genesis uses a 4.6l v8 that is very similar to Lexus' 4.6. Now that they have a performance motor that seems a bit like Lexus' 5.0.
Yea, and why have a radio when you can just sing a song yourself. Why have air conditioning, just open the window. Why have seatbelts - just drive under 5 mph and be safe without them. Why have more than 100hp when that much is all is needed for an *average* car. Oh wait, maybe because this isn't supposed to be an average car, it's supposed to better ?
Does anyone know where you can tune the transmission to actually manually shift because the R-Spec would shift by itself before the redline in drive mode or manual mode.
Very nice - used ones are hovering the market now and they're great bargains to be had. Only downside is that there's no blind spot monitoring, wtf? even lowest end economy cars have it. also that non-touch nav screen looks sluggish and Euro-awful style.
My comment was general. So much new tech, yet statistically they haven't contributed to a major drop in accidents. Personally, I think too much tech creates lazy drivers. I know ppl who can't seem to park without tech assistance, lol. Its fine to have it, but just don't be too dependent on the tech. For example, what happens when the blind spot warning light goes out and someone relies on it to tell them if its safe to switch lanes? Like I said, look over your shoulder, problem solved.
Just ignore him. He's been going around spewing his love of Hyundai (I'm not sure if it's trolling or insanity) all over TH-cam. I've called him out on his shit grammar too, something I rarely ever do on less formal websites.
Yeah I know that they have been recently massivelly recalled. Oh I also know that a Genesis 5.0 Tau V8 R-spec 430hp would rape any 3 series, C class their ass deep! :D Raped by a Hyundai! there u have ur German engineering.
Hyundai Came A Long Way To The States In 1986 From Your Plain Jane, People Laughing At Excel To Now Everyone Taking Notice That This Car Company Is Serious About Quality Performance & Safety & Toyota, Nissan & Honda Are Taking Serious Notes Let Alone Copying From Them.
No matter how much I try to look at these cars I cannot even remotely come close to ever liking them! I feel the same way about Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Mazda, Nissan, Infinity, Kia, Hyundai, and any other Asian car manufacturer I've missed! I just cannot get excited about any of these brands at all! I'm also not a fan of European cars either! For the price I'd rather have a Dodge Ram 2500 "Power Wagon" 4x4 Hemi or a SRT8 Challenger 392!!! If I drove that Hyundai I'd break it in a month! lol
Okay. I'm gonna block you now, since you obviously have nothing better to do in life than to go around attacking everyone who doesn't share your cult-like views on Hyundai. Good luck worshipping your Korean gods. Try not to hate everyone. Oh, and as for you claiming that Canada is a 3rd world country; good luck with that. I really hope that you will at least try to educate yourself and overcome your challenged view of the world.
No I am not telling you to care about what I say I am telling you nice ride! hahahaha...( sarcasm intended). Next time when you decide to bash Hyundai be prepared... or be rich and own a Porsche or something, not a FUCKING HONDA. :D
Lmao, do you think Koreans are second-class or something? But let me guess-- you have a Korean smartphone, washer, dryer, refrigerator, oven, diswasher, etc. Whether or not you think the interior is dated (Which I think as well), the nwe spyshots of the new Genesis includes a much more modern and luxurious interior.
This car has to be the biggest copy of another car ever. From a distance when driving, I always think this is a Mercedes from the front. That's how much of a copy cat job Hyundai did on this. I'd NEVER by a copycat like this.
OMG, the digital clock with chrome buttons H M R in the center of the dashboard. it is like 20 years old piece of car inside this sedan. koreans, they will never walk over their shadow. will be allways second league..
what a pile of steaming crap. Cant hyundai figure out who it wants to copy ? the front has Benz S-Class and Lexus LS430 slapped all over the design cue. No genuine luxury car buyer is ever going to even consider a hyundai. They'd be too embarrassed to drive that piece of turd. This piece of crap is for wanna be "rich" folks who cant afford the REAL thing and needs to buy this junk to try and keep up with the jone's next door. What a joke

Cecil L def should, I am thinking of getting one as well they are veryyy tempting
hopefully you got that car! I have a 2013 rspec with 113000 miles. Great car still
much better electronics compared to the 2012
This thing was both a sleeper and a "stealth wealth" car back then, nice
Shit it still is , just bought a 2013 5.0 r spec pearl white 94k miles for the winter and this car is amazing . im constantly in my sleeper bag when im on the road its hilarious
I own a 2013 in pearl white with the 333 hp v6. It has been an amazing car overall. I would highly recommend this car to anyone..
Interestingly, Mercedes reliability is really low, and (from several reviews) the Genesis is very reliable.
my Mercedes gl350 has been an absolute nightmare. more problems than every vehicle I have ever owned combined, x2! bought it for the diesel and good fuel economy but fuel economy sucks! after over $5000 in warranty repairs in the first couple months of owning it they now say it needs another $14,000 in repairs.

I had a Mercedes tech tell me once a factory rep told him when he asked why their cars always were breaking down, the rep told him "it is an illusion of quality"...
Id love to see that 5.0 V8 as an option in the Genesis Coupe :)
This car has had my head turning, for the past year and always thought damn this is a really nice car. In my head I thought this car would cost around $70k, anyways I just found out through this video that it's a Hyundai and it cost less then $48k. I would definitely buy this car if I had the money .
I'll be purchasing the 2011 Version in the next 2 weeks with low mileage. Can't wait.
Ravi Peiris hows it been?
lexicon sound system, u never find it in any luxury cars, only rolls royce
I got the 4.6 and love it !!

This car is LOADED! Great price and value!
Inside Line got 364 hp and 342 tq. which still demonstrates some efficiency..just needs a little sound to go with it.
the 5.0 eats Beamers for lunch,..it's fun to launch past them at the green light, knowing their hapless owners paid twice the price for their tutonic rides

It's funny what Americans write when they can't buy a BMW, Audi or Merc.
Schlomo Ubermann it’s funny how salty people get when they realize they got smoked by a better whip lmao don’t get mad the genny is better
Hyundai is putting out some good cars. Some people want the same quality and performance of a European car but don't want to pay the same prices.
I have a 2012 5.0 rspec, i removed the intake flap and added a k&n air filter. The thing growls and it feels like it gained a extra 10 hp. I almost dont ever lose but cars like a ctsv and s63 amg pull on me once we hit around 80-90mph
AlmightyyGio Gio wassup , how many miles you have on your genny ? So you just added a regular k&n air filter or air intake ? Are you faster than the 2015-17 charger RT and scat pack ? And the 2015-17 q50 ?

Add a few miles on that S63 AMG and see the thousands of dollars fly out your wallet for constant repairs.
10 horsepower is an extra 2%. You are not feeling 10 extra horsepower
Got one. Full Exhaust. Air Box. Pure sleeper. Not bad for a luxury liner.
damn 5.1... impressive.
This car is missing a 2 BIG things for a performance sedan. PADDLE SHIFTERS, ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION. That would make it PERFECT! Sonata turbo has paddle shifters, why not this?
okay i love this dude (i grew up watching motorweek every saturday on tv)
but am i the only one who laughed at 4:15 when he made the same hand gesture every 3 words ...?
20 years later this guy still sounds the same lol
That's a pretty fast 1/4 mile time for a large sedan from Korea.
The grille looks aftermarket and cheap. They need a Hyundai emblem in the center, make the horizontal bars smaller, & make it black chrome to match the headlight inserts. It's a pretty good package of Lexus LS tailpipes, Infinity M tail lamps, and Infinity instrument font design bundling.
Hyundai just made a car that i acutally want.........wtf? ........Great job
It's on the Genesis Coupe. In case you're wondering.
I want one !!!
Motorweek is one of the best shows on TV - period
More reliable than Mercedes though!
I LIKE!
This right here should be up voted so that everyone can see it clearly!
Starts at $53K here in Canada. After taxes and whatever little options you're looking at $60K. I don't know if I'd spend $60K on a Hyundai even though it does perform well but I'll definitely will spend $30K or so on a 2 year old one though :)
More horsepower in this 5.0 than Ford's... From a Korean brand, what a shame.
My neighbor has that same car and dyno tested it and he said it was making 406 hp and 368lb-ft
حسنا.اريد.ان.اسئل.عن.عيوب.هدة.السيارة.موديل.2013محرك.38.GDi
13.2 in a quarter and with gov off it can reach up to 186 mph the 2012-2014 Genesis R-spec 5.0? The fastest time quarter mile time bone stock is 13.1 so the 13.5 is not correct.
Differs from driver to driver and car to car I'm sure. Might get 13.1 with the right driver
I've gotten a 12.6 @113.8 but that was with really good DA
Long. Live. Hyundai!
Overall pretty nice. Although, the idle noise should be refined (0:52). It is a 5.0, make it sound like one. Not a muscle car, but just enough to let people know it's a serious car.
@k9keo yep and it would be beating sti, evo, 350z

You decide
impressive.....kudos to Hyundai....
i wonder if they will ever drop this engine into the coupe...
@mail22 I don't know if they are there yet. Still need to work on improving the performance of their suspensions and transmissions.
Faster than a challenger lol
I'm liking this but it sounds like Hyundai is still being sloppy and too conservative with their torque management. I've been in various late model automatic Hyundais and the torque nannying is beyond reproach... I know we want to keep warranty claims down but it's a little ridiculous. Anyways.. 106 is a decent but not stellar trap speed for a car like this.
I find this odd. The Genesis uses a 4.6l v8 that is very similar to Lexus' 4.6. Now that they have a performance motor that seems a bit like Lexus' 5.0.
You mean a 6 speed and a clutch? Yeah it does need that over paddles.
Yea, and why have a radio when you can just sing a song yourself. Why have air conditioning, just open the window. Why have seatbelts - just drive under 5 mph and be safe without them. Why have more than 100hp when that much is all is needed for an *average* car. Oh wait, maybe because this isn't supposed to be an average car, it's supposed to better ?
Does anyone know where you can tune the transmission to actually manually shift because the R-Spec would shift by itself before the redline in drive mode or manual mode.
People Should think differently about Hyundai if they are starting to compare them to BMWs and Lexus.
Very nice - used ones are hovering the market now and they're great bargains to be had. Only downside is that there's no blind spot monitoring, wtf? even lowest end economy cars have it. also that non-touch nav screen looks sluggish and Euro-awful style.
I have a solution. Look over your shoulder before changing lanes. There. Problem solved.
4:30 and so. Is that the shadow, or does he have Doc Brown hair?
Great Scott lol! I think it's just John's shadow, though!
It looks a bit like the Mercedes-Benz S-class, don't you think?
حلوووه
@beefo tht would be sweeeeet
My comment was general. So much new tech, yet statistically they haven't contributed to a major drop in accidents. Personally, I think too much tech creates lazy drivers.

I like your point o view
I mean of view
Exactly. Too much driver assist makes people dumb
@Slacking02 Most are going to have to save their money just to try and afford this
Just ignore him. He's been going around spewing his love of Hyundai (I'm not sure if it's trolling or insanity) all over TH-cam. I've called him out on his shit grammar too, something I rarely ever do on less formal websites.
Hyundai Genesis R Spec: Cadillac CTS-V meet your new set of BALLS!
CTS-V makes way more power
im the #100 liked person! yay!
Yeah I know that they have been recently massivelly recalled. Oh I also know that a Genesis 5.0 Tau V8 R-spec 430hp would rape any 3 series, C class their ass deep! :D Raped by a Hyundai! there u have ur German engineering.
faster than 550i which costs way more
Do they get their motors from Ford? Anyone know?

Hyundai Came A Long Way To The States In 1986 From Your Plain Jane, People Laughing At Excel To Now Everyone Taking Notice That This Car Company Is Serious About Quality Performance & Safety & Toyota, Nissan & Honda Are Taking Serious Notes Let Alone Copying From Them.
No matter how much I try to look at these cars I cannot even remotely come close to ever liking them! I feel the same way about Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Mazda, Nissan, Infinity, Kia, Hyundai, and any other Asian car manufacturer I've missed!
I just cannot get excited about any of these brands at all! I'm also not a fan of European cars either!
For the price I'd rather have a Dodge Ram 2500 "Power Wagon" 4x4 Hemi or a SRT8 Challenger 392!!!
If I drove that Hyundai I'd break it in a month! lol
dont dream too big.
Okay. I'm gonna block you now, since you obviously have nothing better to do in life than to go around attacking everyone who doesn't share your cult-like views on Hyundai. Good luck worshipping your Korean gods. Try not to hate everyone. Oh, and as for you claiming that Canada is a 3rd world country; good luck with that. I really hope that you will at least try to educate yourself and overcome your challenged view of the world.
Dude looks old now.
No I am not telling you to care about what I say I am telling you nice ride! hahahaha...( sarcasm intended). Next time when you decide to bash Hyundai be prepared... or be rich and own a Porsche or something, not a FUCKING HONDA. :D
Lmao, do you think Koreans are second-class or something?
But let me guess-- you have a Korean smartphone, washer, dryer, refrigerator, oven, diswasher, etc.
Whether or not you think the interior is dated (Which I think as well), the nwe spyshots of the new Genesis includes a much more modern and luxurious interior.

This car has to be the biggest copy of another car ever. From a distance when driving, I always think this is a Mercedes from the front. That's how much of a copy cat job Hyundai did on this. I'd NEVER by a copycat like this.
ha ha ha go drive your civic
Very bland looking
Never heard of it to begin with
OMG, the digital clock with chrome buttons H M R in the center of the dashboard. it is like 20 years old piece of car inside this sedan. koreans, they will never walk over their shadow. will be allways second league..
Impressive performance ... Very ugly styling
what a pile of steaming crap. Cant hyundai figure out who it wants to copy ? the front has Benz S-Class and Lexus LS430 slapped all over the design cue. No genuine luxury car buyer is ever going to even consider a hyundai. They'd be too embarrassed to drive that piece of turd. This piece of crap is for wanna be "rich" folks who cant afford the REAL thing and needs to buy this junk to try and keep up with the jone's next door. What a joke
nice car but i rather buy 2012 BMW 328i
Mercedes wannabe for poor Americans.
This thing doesn't exist in Europe.
