Testing of Hyundai's highly-anticipated Genesis rear-drive, V-8-powered sedan continues, with the latest prototypes of the vehicle spotted recently in both California and Michigan. Chaz Stevens recently caught a Genesis mule outside a Huntington Beach hotel, with KGP's spies snagging another in the Detroit area, scoring the first snaps of the prototype's updated interior.
On the inside, the overall dash design is similar to those spied on earlier prototypes, although there have been several interior changes that have centered on updating the Genesis' electronic functions.
A dial setup similar to systems that have been popping up on several luxury brands is now evident below the transmission selector and will more than likely control numerous features in the large navigation screen setup. It remains to be seen if Hyundai has learned lessons from systems such as iDrive and has made its system easy-to-use and understand.
The wood rim steering wheel features multiple controls, the stereo dials have been revised, and according to the KGP spies, the instrumentation will use an electroluminescent display similar to that pioneered on Lexus vehicles.
