Described as a "simplified" model offering, Hyundai is eliminating the Genesis 4.6 and Genesis 5.0 models for the 2013 model year. The 4.6 and 5.0 models previous sat between the entry-level Genesis 3.8 and the range-topping 5.0 R-Spec.
No other major changes are in store for the 2013 model year, although Genesis 3.8 technology package and 5.0 R-Spec models gain an optional eight-inch Driver Information System. Hyundai says the new system features a "more intuitive user interface" while still using the company's familiar rotating dial with joystick-type function.
Hyundai's Blue Link telematics will also join the Genesis' options list for 2013.
