The sedan version of the Genesis, unveiled last year, is back without major changes, which is good news in itself! Offering even a very well equipped basic version, the Genesis comes with gadgets previously reserved for higher end cars (dual zone air conditioning, Bluetooth system, satellite radio, etc.).
