2013 Hyundai Genesis gets BlueLink with 8-inch nav, drops 4.6 liter V8
The Hyundai Genesis sedan has been upgraded (just a little bit) for the 2013 model year. Nothing crazy has happened here besides the addition of BlueLink with an 8-inch nav screen (and a 64GB SSD) and the 5.0 liter Tau V8 is now exclusively the V8 option (the 4.6 liter V8 model is no longer available).

The 5.0 R-Spec model that carries the 5.0 liter Tau V8 pumps out 429-hp at 6,400 rpm and 376 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. This Tau V8 represents the most powerful Hyundai engine ever, with a higher specific output (85.8 hp/liter) than its normally-aspirated premium luxury competitors. The Tau V8 engine family has been named to the prestigious Ward’s Ten Best Engines list three times.
