TheCarBlogger Exclusive: Hyundai Genesis (BH) RWD snapped

We bring you exclusive spyshots of Hyundai's new RWD premium sedan, Genesis. Hyundai unveiled the Genesis Concept at the Big Apple this year, which was a preview of Hyundai's new RWD premium-segment fighter. The Genesis will be powered by a 3.8L Lambda V6 powering around 260-280hp and an optional 4.6L Tau V8 powering around 340hp. The Genesis will feature many luxury goodies such as Smart-Key access, navigation system and Bluetooth.

These shots prominently reveal the Genesis's grille, something we've been anticipating to see since first prototype mules were spotted in 2006. Looking at these shots, it seems Hyundai ditched the Camry-esque grille in favor of a simpler and more attractive 2-bar grille. We can also vaguely see the headlights and HID (High Intensity Discharge) projectors are visible. The photographer of these shots stated that a smart-key button was visible on the driver's door handle which confirm the Smart-Key access. Some other design cues visible are the attractive dual exhausts and 9-spoke 18" wheels.

Look for the Genesis to go on sale in the US next spring with domestic sales to begin earlier. Follow the jump to view more shots and a hi-res image gallery of the Genesis Concept.
