Hyundai gets Detroit gong

Hyundai’s Genesis saloon won the Car of the Year at the Detroit Motor Show this week.

The car is not slated for release in Europe but the concept on which it is based has elements which will appear in future global models from the Korean company.

The citation said Hyundai had succeeded in ‘raising the automotive bar’ with the Genesis.

The rear-drive sedan is powered by a 4.6 V8 petrol engine outputting 375ps.

Hyundai in the US also offers a 10-year 100,000 miles warranty on its products.
