for the price, i thought it provided more luxury(tech, material, style, etc) than a bmw or mercedes, all while keeping the interior interface driver-centric and comfortable

Pros

Technology and Entertainment: the model i had was loaded with all the tech, 360-parking view cameras / all-around sensors, heated and cooling seats. for the price, it was definitely better than bmw or mercedes
Ride and Handling: this car handles really well considering w its rwd. whenever you’re driving, it feels like the vehicle’s flying. not feeling like you’re getting shaken by the road’s conditions
Power: its a turbocharged v4 w max speed at 276hp stock, i didn’t get the chance to tune it. but it picks up quick. sport mode is exciting, quicker than many conventional sedans

Cons

Fuel Economy: by the owner’s manual and simple logic, “luxury vehicle needs luxury gas”. so with today’s rising gas prices plus req’d premium 91 gas on a car with turbocharged engine, expect that fuel economy is low and you’re going to spend money on gas
Interior Space: its the smallest of the genesis sedan lineup, so expect that vehicle’s prioritized the front row than back row. simple, if you’re tall, then ride in the front
Cargo Space: smallest of the genesis sedan lineup, so trunk space is not the largest. you. can definitely a good amount from shopping run, but don’t expect to fit large boxes/furniture in the back

Ride and features are amazing, the 5.0 engine provides nice acceleration in sport mode when needed but can still get 26 mpg on trips! I have owned 8 BMW's but beware of BMW as they will never own up t...

uncomfortable seats, nav unit has wrong street name at times, hard to figure out the radio and temperature controls

Pros

Styling: it only looks good on the outside

Cons

Cabin Noise: too much noise on the highway, very small inside, air conditioner fan jams, brakes are very touchy tend to grab at the slightest touch
Dashboard: hard to figure out the dash controls radio button controls the map, seats uncomfortable
Interior Space: too small easy to hit head getting out of car, very poor service from the Hyundai/Genesis dealer. Carmax is the best
