Hyundai to showcase new Genesis Coupe at the 75th Melbourne Motor Show

5 February 2009 · posted by Staff

The all-new Hyundai Genesis Coupe will headline a dynamic range of Hyundai models at the 75th annual Melbourne Motor Show which opens on 27 February.

The new i30cw Wagon will join the Genesis Coupe among the Hyundai stars at the Show, which is the only major motor show in Australia this year.
The Genesis Coupe is the first rear-wheel-drive performance coupe in Hyundai’s history.

The car is a purpose-built rear-drive sport coupe featuring two performance-focused petrol engines – a 2.0 litre turbocharged four and a range-topping all-aluminium DOHC 3.8 litre V6.

The V6 engine will launch the Genesis Coupe from 0-96 km/h in under six seconds, in keeping with its mission to be the most exciting attainable sports coupe on the road.

Other features of the Genesis Coupe include electronic stability control, traction control system, front, side and side-curtain air bags, active front head restraints, keyless entry, power windows, door locks and mirrors, cruise control and Bluetooth.

Another exciting addition to the Hyundai range is the new i30cw Wagon.

Based on the multi-award winning i30 hatch, the i30cw offers greater luggage capacity and a slightly longer wheelbase contained within attractive new external styling.

The i30cw is 230 mm longer and 40 mm taller than the hatch, offering the versatility of a hatchback with more room for rear passengers and cargo.

Hyundai has developed the Wagon for an active lifestyle with plenty of room to fit a full size stroller plus luggage.

Melbourne International Motor Show runs from 27 February to 9 March at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre and is organised and promoted by the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce through its dealer division the Australian Automobile Dealers Association (Vic).
