A 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is currently being sold in the used car market. The seller claims that the mileage is 26,000 km, which means that the car has only traveled an average of 2,000 km per year. The asking price is 539 million VND. The car is originally imported from South Korea.

Currently, there are not many Genesis Coupes available for sale, especially in the condition as seen in the article.

Even though the price has been reduced by more than half compared to when it was new, this Genesis Coupe still holds its value better than a same-generation Camry. According to the used car market, the highest-end 2012 Camry 2.5Q has a price of less than 500 million VND. With the amount of money, consumers can also consider a new Hyundai Accent, the highest-end version (542 million VND), which has a practical interior, common components and spare parts.

However, for those who are looking for a car with a sporty design and driving experience, the Genesis Coupe is a better choice, especially when the price is only about 45% of the initial value. In 2012, a Hyundai Genesis Coupe had a price of about 1.2 billion VND, excluding the registration fee.

From the sale photos, it can be seen that this 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe has a white exterior paint color and is in good condition, still retaining its shine. The front/rear headlights are intact, without signs of fading after 12 years of production. Perhaps the black plastic trim on the rear bumper has shown some signs of discoloration. In particular, the exterior is still in its original condition, without modification. This is difficult to find in other Genesis Coupes in Vietnam.

Some exterior features include 18-inch multi-spoke wheels, bi-xenon headlights, LED daytime running lights, reverse sensors, fixed spoiler on the trunk lid, sunroof, air vent on the hood…

Inside the cabin, this Hyundai Genesis Coupe has a predominantly black color scheme. The front seats have naturally deteriorated over time, losing their tension and shine. In particular, the side of the driver’s seat shows wrinkles and minor cracks. The rear seats seem to have been used less, so they are still quite new. If the future owner is more meticulous, it is possible to reupholster the seats with a cost ranging from a few million to tens of millions of VND to refresh and choose a preferred color.

The owner of this Hyundai Genesis Coupe has installed an Android central screen to enhance entertainment features. The original screen was smaller and only came with MP3/iPod/Radio or disc player function. The Infinity sound system is still original. The dashboard has 3 gauges for acceleration (Accel), engine oil temperature (Oil temp), and turbocharger boost pressure. The buttons on the steering wheel and the central area are still in good condition, without faded or peeling numbers.

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0L gasoline engine with a maximum output of 260 horsepower and 360 Nm of torque. It comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Some safety features include 6 airbags, ABS, EBD, automatic headlights…

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe was discontinued in 2016. The Genesis name has been separated by the South Korean automaker into a separate luxury brand, aiming to compete with German models.
