The original Hyundai Genesis sedan made quite the doorway into the premium car market, however the automaker’s luxury offerings will only become more ambitious within the following couple of years. Automobile Magazine recently talked with Hyundai’s John Krafcik, who shared some interesting details at the automaker’s future within the U.S.

The continued success of the Hyundai Genesis sedan will start with available all-wheel drive. Krafcik says the recent Genesis sedan that’s unveiled on the 2014 Detroit auto show will feel more “German.” In a Second Take review of a 2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec sedan, we noted that the R-Spec model “lacks the high-speed handling feel that its name indicates, but not once was it difficult to maintain the auto on its intended course.” We also had minor issues with the standard of certain interior parts of the R-Spec sedan, which accelerated from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds.

Krafcik told Automobile that the brand new Genesis can be more traditional — perhaps making that possible is a boldly styled coupe-like four-door. Using several basic design elements from the controversial HCD-14 concept from the 2013 Detroit auto show, a coupe-like four-door Hyundai priced right could help the automaker steal customers faraway from cars just like the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, Mercedes-Benz CLS, and Audi A7.

Those who desire a real coupe, however, should consider the Hyundai Genesis two-door. While the present car can’t fit a V-8 under its hood, Krafcik says the following-gen Genesis Coupe may offer power from a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 or perhaps a naturally aspirated V-8. Though Hyundai doesn’t distinguish sales of the Genesis coupe from the sedan, Genesis sales pale compared to other rear-drive coupes just like the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang in addition to the Dodge Challenger.
