Our spy photographers have managed to catch Hyundai’s facelifted 2011 (or 2012) Genesis sedan undergoing testing in the Mojave desert.
While the Genesis is only a year old, Hyundai apparently wanted to bring the car’s styling more in line with the company’s new Equus flagship. Up front, the changes appear to be limited to a new bumper and modified fog lights. Out back, there are new LED design taillights, integrated exhaust tips similar to the Equus, and a slightly altered rear bumper.
Engine options will likely carry over, meaning we can expect a 290 hp 3.8-liter V6 and a 368 hp 4.6-liter V8. Eventually the Genesis may be offered with a new 5.0-liter V8 with over 400 hp
.
The Genesis 4.6 returns this year with 10 extra horses added to the award-winning Tau® V8 engine for a total of 385 horsepower and more standard features from last year’s Technology package. The 10 additional horsepower were added as a running change in 2010 model year and propel the Genesis 4.6 from zero to 60 miles per hour in 5.3 seconds (2010 5.7 seconds).
The Tau still produces more horsepower and torque than the powerplants found in the Lexus GS460 and Audi A8. It also delivers more horsepower per liter than any of these V8 competitors. Genesis 4.6 continues to offer buyers the option to use premium or regular fuel. (concept carz) The Tau is rated at 378 horsepower on regular fuel and 385 horsepower on premium fuel and has been one of Ward’s Auto’s 10 best engines for two consecutive years.
