New Hyundai Genesis to be imported to Azerbaijan

01 September 2008 16:15 (UTC +04:00)

Baku. Nijat Mustafayev â€“ APA-Economics. Hyundai Auto Azerbaijan, the official dealer of South Korean Hyundai automaker in Azerbaijan, plans to import new model of Hyundai Genesis to the country by mid-October.
â€œThe first model will be brought next month. More cars will come in February. The selling price is $55 000,â€ said the company.
The Genesis marks the debut of Hyundai’s first V8, a 4.6-liter dual overhead cam engine with 375 horsepower. The V8 provides plenty of smooth, willing power, and gets decent fuel economy.
Hyundai Genesis is available with a 290-hp 3.8-liter V6.
Hyundai touts the Genesis as a sport sedan, with a rigid rear-wheel-drive structure and advanced five-link front and rear suspensions. On twisty roads, it performs well, with a generally nimble feel and a fairly flat disposition through corners. Of the two models, the V6 rotates easier through turns, while the V8 is more prone to push. The V8 model, on the other hand benefits from electrohydraulic steering that keeps the boost up in the tightest slaloms, while the V6’s hydraulic steering can bind in quick changes of direction.
Hyundai Auto Azerbaijan has been in operation since 1996.
