Most said the back seat is roomy enough for adults, though some critics wrote that back-seat headroom is in short supply. The Genesis Coupe has 10 cubic feet of trunk space, which is typical for an affordable sports car. Standard features on the Genesis Coupe include keyless entry, air conditioning, full power accessories, cruise control, Bluetooth, a USB port and audio system with a CD player. Available features on the Genesis Coupe include a power driver’s seat, keyless ignition, a sunroof, automatic climate control, leather upholstery and rear parking sensors. The stripped-down performance 2.0T R-Spec model has fewer standard tech features to lower its weight, but adds a sport-tuned suspension and upgraded brakes.
