The all-new 2015 Hyundai Genesis has been voted the Top Family Choice for 2014 by the Greater Atlanta Automotive Media Association (GAAMA) during association’s second annual signature event dubbed ‘The Family Choice Challenge’. Genesis chalked up the most points to beat the competition at the event held at the beautiful Lake Lanier Island Resort in Georgia. Motor analysts believe that the sedan’s ‘accessible luxury’ tag will continue to make the car wither strong competition from the same segment market. The car is available in a range of colors including; Caspian Black, Ibiza Blue, Pamplona Red and Parisian Gray. The available interior color trims available include; Beige leather, Ivory premium leather and Black leather.

According to Nick Palermo, the President of GAAMA; the 2015 Hyundai Genesis sport sedan has become particularly attractive to motorists who are looking to own a family car without sacrificing elements like performance and style. Part of the reasons why the Genesis won the hearts of many as the 2014 Top Family Choice sedan was because; it evidently exceeded expectations, according to the president. Compared to the previous generation of the Genesis sedan, the 2015 model is well ahead of other Hyundai models and competitors of the same category. The car has given families who are looking to have a luxury car option to their collection, a compelling reason to do so. The competing vehicles in this sedan category include; Cadillac ATS, the BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe and Lexus IS.

The fitting rear-drive ultra-rigid platform utilizes a high density steel that can handle 40% stiffer bending rigidity and 16% stiffer torsional rigidity much better than the outgoing Genesis. The feature provides compelling safety and driving dynamics designed to offer a non-compromising driving experience befitting the whole family.
