Official Genesis thread. WAS:2019 Hyundai G70

[16hypen3sp]

Next gen engines officially announced. Suspected 3.5TT V6 confirmed at 380HP, slight bummer as I was expecting just over 400HP. For comparison, the existing 3.3TT used in the G70/G80 Sport/Stinger is at 365HP.

Other notable engine is a D3.0 inline-6 diesel at 278HP. Not sure if that one will be available in North America.

Bring me a stinger estate not an SUV.

Im pretty seriously thinking about checking this car our (G70 3.3T or 3.5TT now) for my next car. I love the idea of it for some reason and all the videos seem awesome of it. Originally before I was thinking WRX or Golf R but I think this would be more comfortable.

The rear side windows are there, they are just covered by the black/white camo. The x5 will be this SUV direct competition according to a Genesis manager I was talking with.

It appears that Genesis is going to begin using some crazy inverted sound wave tech to make their cabins even more quiet than they already are.

thtas just a spin on active noise cancelling that we have been using in headphones for years (decades?).

And cars. All the premium brands have been doing it forever. I wanna say it's over 10 years old.

If you read automaker PR they do this all the time, fancy word smith for regular features, tricks people not familiar with said tech to think it's new and shiny.

edit - 2013 Accord is the first to do it, in 2012. 7 years ago.

edit 2 - reading article further, Accord was just first cheap brand to do it. Premium brands were already well established with in cabin ANC.

Noise cancelling headphones for the cabin on your car.

Interesting stuff. I have known about the engine sound being sent into the cabin (Genesis has been doing it for a while) but not ANC. I thought they were just using even more sound deadening materials.

Apparently both of you are right. While ANC has been used for years, the Hyundai system is a world first by tying it into the accelerator, creating "Road ANC"
https://driving.ca/hyundai/auto-news...-a-world-first

Old systems relied on insulation and dampers to passively kill sound, which ultimately resulted in extra weight and a faint, low-frequency buzz seeping through. The ANC system, on the other hand, uses software and components like controllers and microphones to measure and reduce noise.
It’s like this: the mics pick up a sound, the software analyses it, and then the speakers spit out the inverse waves, thus cancelling it altogether.



But that process was limited by the software, which struggled to get the cancellation done in the 0.009 seconds it takes for road or engine noise to reach the ears of passengers, says Hyundai. The new RANC will do the deed in just 0.002 seconds.


“Using an acceleration sensor, RANC calculates the vibration from the road to the car and the control computer analyzes road noise,” the brand explains in a release. “As its computation and signal transfer speeds are optimized, it only takes 0.002 second to analyze the noise and produce an inverted soundwave, generated by the DSP (Digital Signal Processor).”

^ Very interesting stuff. Thanks for that jwslam.

Also, G70 face lift video below.

There's been some software and processing improvements in ANC headphones, I wonder how unique this Hyundai system really is, or if it's just piggybacking off advancements that SONY and Bose are now commonly using. I guess either way it's neato and hey, marketers gonna market.

GV80 reveal set for Dec. 28th. Take that with a grain of salt tho.

Looking awesome in white! Same colour my G80 is going to be! Exterior rear is looking great and close to concept. Hope you all like grille.... Not a big fan of two spoke steering wheel, tho, I'm sure it feels as great as current G80 Sport wheel does.

[gmc72]

That steering wheel reminds me a lot of the Merc with the 2 spoke. Not a fan of that. Otherwise I think it looks okay. Will need to see the official pictures, but it looks interesting.

[adam c]

I'll probably have an unpopular vote, but to me that's ugly, that grill & steering wheel from the pictures are terrible

[arcticcat522]

I like the front, not the back or the steering wheel.
