2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe UNBOXING Review - An American Muscle Car Alternative?

Today's unboxing review is for a car that we think could have been better than what was produced. The 2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a rear-wheel-drive upscale sports car that, at one point, was somewhat considered an alternative to the likes of the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. Not so much anymore. In fact, 2016 will be its last model year. Power comes from a 3.8-liter V6 with 274 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic.
The overall design inside and out is nice but, yes, it looks dated. Makes sense considering the car was first launched back in 2009 (though it was refreshed in 2013). But what we don't get is why Hyundai never stuffed the V8 from the previous generation Genesis sedan under the hood of its coupe counterpart? That scenario could have taken Hyundai to a whole new level of street cred. But it wasn't meant to be. Still though, the Genesis Coupe is a nice car and if you want one, you'd better act fast. Enjoy the review.

People who buy this car , like myself , buy it because they want a fast sporty car , but they don't want to drive something that is seen on every street corner , like a Mustang or Camaro . I've had mine for 6 months and I catch the stares and get the questions ..... What kind of car is that ? This car is really underrated , even with the 8 speed automatic .... Which is not as lame as represented here , flip it in sport mode , raises and firms up the shift points .... It will match or out perform the 6 speed ..... Oh yeah, the Genesis coupe is based on its on platform which is the "BK " platform , the original sedan is the " BH " platform .

mattmc mc big facts, or something you hear and see every where, a straight piped Z or G, those things are everywhere, i also chose the Genesis coupe 3.8 A8 and it’s quick, the only cars i’ve lost to have been v8 cars (mustang 5.0, pontiac gto, bmw m3) and then to a boosted 3.8 who i raced for fun, the only mods i had on any race was just a magnaflow catback, so i was basically stock and i never got gapped by the v8s, the most put on me was 2 cars by the 5.0 the other cars i was right behind about half a car or so

@numberonefamilyman 7 лет назад

For the Genesis Coupe it's all about the driving experience - power, handling, fun to drive not necessarily a grand interior. BRZ interior is ok but has no power like the Gen Coupe.

@mistamaog 8 лет назад

This is the last one???? Damn I just discovered it and found it has almost 350hp for a base price of $27k. That's a great deal!!!

Yes you better hurry I own a 2013 2.0T and they are hard too find only gen coupes I see for sell are autos and nobody wants them. Or hold out too 2018 or 19 its rumored a new coupe will be coming out.10 year/100k warranty is great.

I think i'll disappoint you, but this is the perfect car for me, and it's price now in 2019, is just super affordable.

@RuRuGoesRawr 5 лет назад

I got mine for around $24k with just 2k miles on it. No regret's at all. And also the automatic can be fun. It has sports mode that gives you manual or auto. Honestly from what I read and experienced, the sports auto mode reacts a bit faster even compared an experienced driver. The only negative for me is that the traction is a bit too sensitive, however I like to think that my Genny is just looking out for me haha

You must be high on drugs or something because no way is the Hyundai Genesis Coupe Bland in anyway!! And I don't know where you got your info from but the Hyundai Genesis Coupe was not built on the Hyundai Genesis four-door sedan platform it was built from the ground up get your information straight! I really hope Hyundai brings it back it's my favorite car from Hyundai!!!

Did you even take this car for a ride or is this one of those parking lot reviews of a car where you didn't actually drive it? Couldn't stand listening to your whiny voice to find out.

@dasspr 8 лет назад

Its really 2009 cosmetics with a touch of 2013 (bk2 remodeled front end, interior, technology) so even if its a 2016 model its actually a 2009/2013 car. I have this very car but with black interior. I love it so much Its my 4th owned genesis coupe! I just love the damn car. Good review. Sub'ed!

@carbuzzcom 8 лет назад

Exactly! You're absolutely right. And yes, it really is a fantastic car that, in my opinion, didn't get enough respect. Glad to see someone else shares my views. And thank you for subscribing!

@dasspr 8 лет назад

After owning 4 gen coupes I pretty much still get the same response from people. Many are still impressed by it, others still to this day, 6-7 years later don't know what it is or didn't know Hyundai made these. The other kind of response = the haters. I wish Hyundai would of corrected simple things on the last year models such as loud doors when shutting, weak door handles and maybe had come out with a final "special edition" model = different wheels, a unique color option, maybe 10-20 more ponies or something but oh well. Ive owned the base 2010 2.0T 6spd, the 2012 track 3.6 auto, 2011 rspec 2.0T and a month ago i got a final year 3.8 ultimate, ibiza blue 8spd auto. All owned 2-3 years and traded back in perfect condition. I just get rid of them once they hit +60k. This is by far the best one! I do agree the 6spd manual is the better choice but the luk clutches and components they come with are like butter after a few mods and +hp/tq. For what i want it, cruising to work and back in style, being ok with 5pm traffic and adding just a bit of hp like i already have (intake and header back ark dts exhaust plus tune on the way) a 8spd auto works just fine! Cheers!

@g3dog100 7 лет назад

I have raced a few 5.0 Mustangs and they are slower. that's unfortunate for a gas guzzling V8. I have to disagree with two things. The BRZ and the Mustang both have less back seat room than the Genesis.

@dmedeiros1974 8 лет назад

got mine 3 months ago... unreal car for the money

@carbuzzcom 8 лет назад

You're right, this is a great car for the money. In fact, pretty much all Hyundais (and Kias) are solid bang-for-your-buck values.

@BryanMc17 7 лет назад

2016 is the last year!? I've been on the fence about getting one for a while now. Looks like I should get one fast.

@robertbattle6778 5 лет назад

I have had both of these cars the rspec and now the ultimate both have the same motor witch is the 3.8 only thing differents that I see is the navigation sun roof heated seats power seat wing rspec has nice black seats with rspec ingraded in the seats both or nice cars for the poor mans budget it would have been nice if huyndai would have invested in a v8 from the jump start on this car

@renagade9874 6 лет назад

building a real sports car???? Ever heard of their hyundai Tiburon....2017 and im driving a 2004 v6 model ...and at times ive had people stare at it...tell me how nice it is...i've gon to radio, exhaust and mechanic shops... and heard.."TiBuRRRONN!" ..above all i think Hyundai s genesis is better then the mustang, gaymero, becuase people tend to see them everywhere that it just becomes bland

@7akeem1999 8 лет назад

whats wrong with the 8-speed auto. i'd like to hear your opinions

@carbuzzcom 8 лет назад

The 8-speed isn't horrible, it just doesn't provide the same driving experience as the manual, and this is a real sports car, hence the priority for the manual.

@7akeem1999 8 лет назад

CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars but would u really recommend it in a city full traffic and busy streets? (dubai),

@brandonhauser1009 7 лет назад

I have the 8 speed auto cant drive a manual lol never had but 8 speed auto for 2013 is faster than manual. I don`t know for 2016 tho. I love 8 speed auto it has pedal shifters and its fun.

@BConText 6 лет назад

I own the 2016 8 speed automatic and its fun to drive with the pedal shifters or the shift stick + - on Sport mode , it's FAST !! and economy fuel !! both worlds in one package !! You want a great driving experience get the Automatic version 8 SPEEDS !!

@shinbakihanma2749 7 лет назад

V8 would be too much for THIS car as an official option. Too much in terms of pricing (affordability is the purpose for the gen coupe) and mpg (which is pretty low though decent for a sports car with these specs). Not to mention that the transmission isn't great, so you'd need to gut it out and replace it with a worthwhile one to even get the best out of a hypothetical V8 gen coupe. I think this car has good enough bhp as is for it's class.

@andre26261095 5 лет назад

Genesis was formed together with Hyundai to bring this car out including the four-door model in 2015 Genesis is now its own Company making cars. In 2015 I got the Nissan 370Z touring sport Tech but I really wish I would have went with a Hyundai Genesis Coupe Grand Touring Edition instead. Traded my 370 in for a 2017 Infiniti Q50 3.0T Red Sport 400 Very happy with it but I'm still looking to buy a 2016 Hyundai Genesis Grand Touring Coupe hopefully soon for a 2nd car

@ggeiser3 4 года назад

I wondered why Hyundai stopped making the Coupe until I bought a G80. The G80 is actually a luxury car. My Coupe was never that! However, the new Coupe as proposed by them for 2023 or so, will be one.

@fubub3595 5 лет назад

And why my 2016 Hyundai 2016 looks older than this ? I have no leather sit , no sun roof ,no GPS

@brandonhauser1009 7 лет назад

I have a modded genesis 2013 gt and its fast I wouldnt be surprised if it just as a fast as a mustang and chevy camero. Most people that buy this car does mods to it makes it go faster than mustangs, chevy and 370z. I don`t like mustangs, id rather get the camero. Genesis wins out of two of them tho. even stock they keep on to mustangs and cameros lol.

@brandonhauser1009 7 лет назад

@thaitanium35 6 лет назад

@ 6:45 Gen coupe twin turbo? 🤔

@ggeiser3 4 года назад

Yes, those low out of the way gauges are useless. As for transmissions, my automatic is very fast and unless you shift perfect every time, my car will beat a stick anytime!

@vg4472 3 года назад

The automatic accelerates faster at slower speeds or at a standstill if you shift to paddle shifting without actually using the paddles. Once you are at higher speeds, it's faster with the shifter off.

@7akeem1999 8 лет назад

Also in my opinion i feel like its annoying how the car doesnt have full LED lights, its annoying to see yellow and white lights

@carbuzzcom 8 лет назад

It doesn't have full LEDs because it's an old design and Hyundai didn't want to invest more into something that's on it's way out.

@CCGR-2024 8 лет назад

Who cares? Why do a review on a car you don't like and isn't going to be continued? Just asking, but it does seem like it was a waste of time, or was it just the car was offered for a review in hopes that you might help the dealership move a car or two? See you for the next review!

@carbuzzcom 8 лет назад

See my previous reply to Tracy. And, for the record, we receive no money from any of the dealerships. Selling cars is their business, not ours.

@CCGR-2024 8 лет назад

CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars I wasn't trying to say that they offered you the car as in giving you the car in hopes you would help them move a few units, I was asking if you were offered the car to test? Forgive me if my question offended, it obviously was poorly stated. I also didn't look very hard to see if the question had already been asked. I think I need to stop watching videos right before bed since I seem to have been rather cranky and difficult with you. I am sorry.
