First Glimpse of The 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Interior

These photos provide a first glimpse of the Hyundai Genesis coupe interior. Whereas the shape of the dashboard and instrument panel remain the same, the design of the center and lower console including the infotainment screen are brand new. Hyundai has completely revamped the air-conditioning and audio systems and has added three gauges right under the radio controls.



It should be noted that the car you see here is a South Korean specification model, but these changes are most likely to pass on the North American version as well. The pictures also confirm our suspicions that Hyundai would replace the current model's regular 3.8-liter V6 with the newer and more advanced V6 powerplant of the same displacement but with direct injection (GDI) technology, as it did on the facelifted 2012 Genesis sedan earlier this year.





Logically, the 3.8-liter V6 GDI should deliver the same 333-horses and 291 lb.-ft. of torque that it does on the Genesis sedan. The current 3.8-liter V6 produces 306HP and 266 lb.-ft. Furthermore, in addition to a 6-speed manual gearbox, the GDI will most likely be offered with Hyundai's newer 8-speed automatic transmission instead of the current model's 6sp unit.

the switches on the door look like they would be uncomfortable to use...

Center stack looks decent.....maybe a little crowded.

Those hood scoops better be functional.... I can definitely see them being legitimate with that huge blob of plastic over the engine. :bleh:

the front air intake area looks to be all above the radiator. I'd say the hood vents are purely design. Sure it'd get air into the engine bay to cool things, but all the air going IN to the engine would be brought in from that wide front intake
