2016 Genesis

I like the vehicle but I am frustrated by the current Cruise Control operation. I cannot understand why the vehicle has to immediately use braking to slow down to the set speed when you exceed the set speed and then release the accelerator (such as when passing another vehicle). Every vehicle I have ever owned just waits for the vehicle to slow down through road friction and drag before the cruise control again engages to keep the set speed. This is also very annoying when on hilly terrain. Couldn't this software algorithm could be modified by your engineers?

Excellent overall except stereo system

This car is awesome in all regards except the sound system For a car with 10 speaker it's disappointing. It has just about every conceivable option. The sound system is not great and there are no lights in the front cup holders which I have seen on cars that cost much less.

Great luxury vehicle for a reasonable price

I bought my 2016 Genesis 3.8 AWD Ultimate Package, Certified Pre-owned in July 2018. I was interested in the Genesis, but wanted to be sure it had some of my minimum requirements: quiet cabin, and comfortable seat. The Genesis delivered on both fronts! I was very happy when I took it for a test drive, and could listen to the radio and have a conversation without turning up the volume to cover the road noise. Also, the Genesis driver's side has so many adjustments on the seat, including an expandable thigh bolster that it feels like you're sitting in an easy chair while you're driving. It would be nice to have this on the passenger side, as my husband feels that seat is too short for his long legs. The safety features definitely keep me out of trouble, with audible and sensory warnings and adjustments. The Lexicon sound system is full-bodied, it surrounds you such that you don't need to turn the radio down to have a conversation with your passengers. Technology features are great although a little redundant. I can use the touchscreen, joystick and steering wheel to do many of the same things. Apple Carplay is missing from this version although it appears to be available in the other packages. I like the analog clock, as I found digital clocks could sometimes be obstructed by glare while driving. I LOVE the sun/moonroof! That too can be open while having the radio on and conversations, which is a real benefit. The car looks and drives great! I get tons of compliments and looks on the road. Beautiful vehicle with great amenities at an affordable price.

My 2016 Genesis 3.8

I love the car for many reasons. It rides very well, not terribly quite and some squeaks and rattles. Overall the power and handling is fantastic. The navigation system is not that great. I think it is the software and the voice recognition that need serious improvement. It has been very frustrating for me. If the software and interface system was better, and the car was a bit tighter and quieter, I think there would nothing better out there for me. I am close the end of my lease but not sure I can afford to stay in the Genesis as the price has gotten smooch higher and the lease incentives from 2016 seem to now be gone per my conversation with the sales team. I hope this information is helpful.

2016 Genesis 3.8

Outstanding in all areas except voice commands. The system constantly can't interpret voice instructions. It need to take a lesson from Google for intuitive voice interaction. Same for the Nav system. This is my second Genesis and they have both been the same.

Genesis HTRAC 2016

Great car for the price! Genesis needs to update new models to the original concept design. USB and USB-C options would be nice for rear passengers. Wish the 2016 Ultimate models could be upgraded to Apple play.

Owner Review

Overall a really nice car. Great styling. Good performance. The door locks are HORRIBLE. Continued issues with the front bumper sensors going off with nothing in front of them. No backlight on the door lock buttons when you open the door at night. Passenger seat belt buckle rattles against the B-Pillar if no front seat passenger wearing the belt.

Genesis 3.8

It’s a great car all around. It’s only problem is the front brakes. I’ve had 2 so far and the front brakes and rotors always seem to develop shaking. The car has plenty of power but the brakes heat up and warranty doesn’t cover the brakes.

2016 Genesis

Enjoy the car. Disappointed that my dealer is no longer selling Genesis. However, I agree that Genesis should be a separate dealership from Hyundai. Vehicle has been relatively trouble free. It does have a few quirks such as fuses blowing when more than one window is opened at the same time. Overall good value for the money & I will probably lease another one when this lease is up.

2nd Genesis Owned

I read a lot of critics on this vehicle but I have to say I love it. I loved the 2010 Genesis I had as well. The car is comfortable, roomy, well built and has nice get up and go. The 2016 Genesis I bought pre-owned is all wheel drive so I'll see how it is in the winter. I had the V8 rear wheel drive last time and didn't have many problems.

2016 Genesis 3.8 AWD

Love the car overall. Had some issues with headliner noises, cracked air filter housing, driveline/ transfer case. Repairs all under warranty. 0% interest on 2016 and high rebates so still a great deal vs 2017. Wish the dealership coddling was more ; like loaners and car wash and vacuum, but it’s not a true luxury brand yet. Great technology, navigation, other luxuries as part of tech and signature packages. Beautiful design and great beige palate inside. Rides super quiet, 25 mpg overall. Roomy and comfortable. Performance is stellar, very quick for a 4,500 lb car.

Great vehicle

I had this vehicle new since 2016 and have not had a bit of a problem with this vehicle. I can honestly say that this has been the best vehicle I have driven in a long time. I would recommend the Genesis over any vehicle in this class.

I love it!

As of today, Memorial Day, I have had my Genesis for 3 years. I love it. I'm constantly finding new functions. I don't like the fact the battery need to be replaced already and it is extremely expensive.

2016 genesis

I love my 2016 genesis. The only improvement I would add is the accuracy of the GPS and USB functions could be updated to full efficiency. I love the style of the car and smooth ride. The interior seat are nice as well.

Second Genesis

I purchased this '16 Genesis while my 2012 was being serviced for multiple fuel issues, which resulted in stalling. The car looks great, handles well and is quite comfortable. The features rival the German vehicles, with a more reasonable cost. Unfortunately, Hyundai has noted the cost difference and increased the price of the newer Genesis line. It was simply a great deal, style, features, comfort at an unmatched price!

Acceptable

The cons for this vehicle as nice as it is to look at. Its not functional. The back seats do not fold down to get to the trunk. So if you have an oversized item, you can not use this car. The vehicle is stylish. The drivers seat even when raised is low.

GREAT CAR

My 2016 Genesis Sedan, as a used vehicle is a surprise to drive. Three years old and the G.S. Tech. still performs quite like new, so much fun driving. I am looking forward to owning a new Genesis. Thank you

I love almost everything about this car.

The car looks great, drives great, has all the things you could want in a large luxury car. The only issues I have are some quality control issues. One of the motor mounts gave out before the car had even hit 20000 miles. And the trim amount the passenger side window has begun to split. The android auto conection, via cable only, is spotty and will just go out for no reason, and then come back on with no change, regardless of what USB cable I use. Other then these few things, I think this car has a great future.

I am totally satisfied with my car. It is everything I expected and more. The interior is plush and comfortable. The cabin is roomy. The trunk area is huge. The bells and whistles are a definite upgrade from my previous car.
