2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan Spy Photos

[YEH]

Re: 2014 Hyundai Genesis Sedan Spy Photos

Based on this, it seems that the interior (at least the rear) is a nice step up and competitive w/ the segment (as expected, not quite as nice as the rear interior of the K9, but the K9 slots btwn the Genesis and Equus).

But yeah, the key is the front/dash/center stack design.

Just watched the Genesis concept reveal and Hyundai CEO John Krafcik said that the next generation production model Genesis won't be revealed until this time at next year's auto show (Jan 2014).

I heard that too...the first time, I thought it was a slip/mistake, but on the recent Q&A it was re-iterated by Mr Krafcik via an answer to an owner posed question.

Hmmm, maybe the KDM rls won't happen in late Q3 early Q4.

So does that mean it will be a 2015 Model Year release for North American versions?

Either the LA Auto show (November) or Detroit next year seems to be the timetable.

This, could, however, just mean the US reveal w/ the Genesis being revealed for the Korean market beforehand, since the Genesis still seems slated for a 4Q Korea launch.

Figuring the usual 5-6 months on the Korean market before it hits NA, we're probably looking at sometime in the 1st Q of 2014 or the 2nd Q.

If it's early in the 1st Q (say Jan.), likely will be slated a 2014MY but Hyundai has been known to launch a model almost an entire year ahead when it is new gen model.

That looks nice.

100% Art-Deco. Looks like the Chrysler Building on wheels.

Re: 2014 Hyundai Genesis Sedan Spy Photos

They seem to be using wheels that already exist, those are from the Coupe I believe.

Digging the new pics. Not digging the "ALL NEW CADILLAC ATS" banners on every single picture though GRRRRR

THANKS FOR POSTING THEM THOUGH!

Interior looks unfinished. Guess they'll work on that later. There's no way those seats are production.

As for the headlights, they sure look cool, but remember - the KDM version of the current Genesis has the cool quad headlights, which never made it to the US:

Even their regular headlight assemblies had to be altered before they were released as the HMA version:

My point is... don't get too excited with the equipment you see on here, even on a finished product. Our market may not ever get that pretty stuff.

Remember LED projectors are now on the Accord... Been on upper end models for a while. I see no reason why the LED projectors wouldn't make the cut for the N/A market.

Re: 2014 Hyundai Genesis Sedan Spy Photos

I really like the frosted, soft "S" LED strip; think it has become a signature design element for Hyundai.

It would be a shame to go away from that (which it seems like - unfortunately, to a more generic/lame design).

Anyhow, word from Hyundai AU is that Australia will be getting the new Genesis in RHD either in the 1st or 2nd Q of 2014 - so can't see the US market not getting the 2G Genesis at that time (if not a little sooner).

Yeah the Honda Accord, Toyota Avalon and such all have LED's now. I believe it will be added to the USA as well. Of course the option for it will be an additional cost.

Re: 2014 Hyundai Genesis Sedan Spy Photos

I agree... those new headlights look more Kia than Hyundai.

Re: 2014 Hyundai Genesis Sedan Spy Photos

While I like the stripe on my 2012, it seems like the same exact stripe is getting added in all the Hyundai cars now (Azera, Sante Fe, etc). I feel the Genesis and Equus should have different look of headlights and not similar to the other hyundai models since these are the premium luxury cars, I love these new lights!

Re: 2014 Hyundai Genesis Sedan Spy Photos

^ The new SF and Azera have a diff. DRL design - being the "eyebrow" design.

The soft "S" design can, however, be found in the Euro i30 and i40, albeit in a different iteration.

Re: 2014 Hyundai Genesis Sedan Spy Photos

I think I just made up my mind to buy a 2014 - or maybe a 2015. Don't know if I'll be able to wait the extra year though...

A couple more spy shots.

I know that it's been speculated that the quad exhaust pipes probably won't make it to production, but this is the second time we've seen it so it might have some significance.
