While very well-equipped, the Hyundai comes in price closer to entry-level luxury cars such as the BMW 3-Series and the Mercedes C-Class. The Genesis represents an excellent luxury value, offering an excellent luxury and performance value ratio than just about anything in its segment.

Buyers get a choice of wood or metal paneling on the interior, standard automatic climate control, a leather wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth and voice command control interfaces, LED interior lighting, a proximity-based entry system and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink. The audio system includes an 8-inch touchscreen, a 7-speaker sound system with SiriusXM and HD radio compatibility and a navigation system that includes traffic updates.
