Launched for the 2009 model year, it deliberately carried no Hyundai badge on its nose — only a winged Genesis emblem — and it went on to win the 2009 North American Car of the Year. It was pitched at the Lexus GS, Acura RLX, Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Cadillac CTS, but always undercut them by tens of thousands of dollars.\n\nThe first-generation BH car (2009–2014) offered 3.8-liter Lambda V6s and 4.6- and 5.0-liter Tau V8s, topping out with the 429-hp 5.0 R-Spec. The second-generation DH sedan debuted in Seoul in November 2013 and reached the U.S. as a 2015 model with a completely new body, a five-link independent suspension front and rear tuned with help from Lotus Engineering, and — for the first time — an optional HTRAC all-wheel-drive system. Engines narrowed to a 311-hp 3.8-liter Lambda II GDI V6 on regular gas and a 420-hp 5.0-liter Tau GDI V8, both with an eight-speed automatic and a four-mode Eco/Normal/Sport/Snow drive selector. On 4 November 2015 Hyundai announced the Genesis name would become its own luxury division; the DH sedan carried on as the Genesis G80 from the 2017 model year.\n\nStandout traits are a five-star NHTSA overall rating and IIHS Top Safety Pick+ status, nine standard airbags with a new-for-2015 driver's knee bag, an unusually complete active-safety suite (automatic emergency braking, smart cruise, lane keep assist, haptic steering-wheel alerts) and a base price under $39,000 with navigation, leather and a rearview camera included. The weak points are a 15.3-cubic-foot trunk with no folding rear seats and modest economy — 18/29 mpg for the rear-drive V6, 16/25 with HTRAC and 15/23 for the V8.
