2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Spy Photos Reveal a Much Larger Car
Sporting some unique bodywork the 2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe has been caught undergoing early testing.
The next-generation sports car appears to grow significantly in size with a longer rear section that has been tacked onto this test mule’s rear bumper. It also gives the appearance of a wider overall body.
As a result, we can expect the 2016 Hyundai Genesis coupe to offer additional trunk space while the extra length will also allow a longer roofline possibly giving the rear passengers more space. In that sense, it will be a true Genesis Coupe, moving upscale and offering more of the sedan’s luxury.

The spy photos also suggest that the next-generation Genesis coupe’s wheelbase will remain mostly unchanged, though do look for a Hyundai’s HTAC all-wheel drive system to be available. Also look for the first use of a V8 engine in a Genesis Coupe!

These cars are crap. Purchased new 2013 2.0 T manual trans. It had great reviews from all the auto sites and of course it was on Burn Notice. The bull s*** commercial's on how it was able to be driven. 2 days old the trans breaks, after 3 weeks to get it back. The rear end starts making noise and clunking 2 days later the drive shaft rag joints and diff cover broke Bolt. Luckily it was fixed by dealership. Now it is broke again Hyundai won't warranty it. I believe it has only 7000 miles. BEWARE OF HYUNDIA
Uh, that's the current body, people. The word is the coming redesign will be exactly that - a redesign, so this article is flat out B.S. Now, this COULD be the 2016 because a Hyundai guy told me we won't see the redesign until 2017. We'll see, but the car in this article is not likely a spy photo of any future G Coupe.
