Furthermore, prices for every 2013 Genesis trim level are between $2000 and $2250 higher than 2012. (For a full rundown of the cars’ changes, check out our stories on the 2013 Genesis coupe and 2012 Azera.) The details:

2013 Genesis Coupe

• 2.0T: $25,125 + $1250 for optional eight-speed automatic ($2000 increase over 2012)


• 2.0T R-Spec: $27,375 ($2000 increase over 2012)


• 2.0T Premium: $29,625 ($2000 increase over 2012)


• 3.8 R-Spec: $29,625 ($2000 increase over 2012)


• 3.8 Grand Touring: $32,875 ($2250 increase over 2012)


• 3.8 Track: $33,875 + $1250 for optional eight-speed automatic ($2250 increase over 2012)

2012 Hyundai Azera

• Single trim level: $32,875 + $4000 for optional Technology Package


• Standard equipment includes: keyless entry and push-button start, heated leather front and rear seats, touch-screen navigation system, backup camera, premium audio with subwoofer, dual-zone automatic climate control, 18-inch wheels


• Technology package adds: panoramic sunroof, xenon headlights, power rear sunshade, manual rear side sunshades, ventilated front seats, rear parking sensors, Infinity audio system, power-adjustable steering column, driver’s seat memory, mirror and steering column memory

The Genesis and Azera’s price increases make sense, after all, both cars are thoroughly reworked and, in the case of the Azera, there’s a lot more standard equipment than before. However, the Genesis coupe’s figures give us pause. First, a six-cylinder Ford Mustang starts at $23,105, more than $2000 less than the four-cylinder Genesis 2.0T, and brings 31 more hp to the party. Second, the Genesis 3.8, which is powered by a 348-hp V-6, is playing in the 412-hp Mustang GT’s sandbox when it comes to price if not performance. And the 2013 Mustangs get even more power. We will be driving both the new Genesis and Azera soon, when we’ll find out whether the new Genesis’s updates are worthy of their extravagant price premium.
