While we've already told you about the exterior updates that include the more aggressive nose that's draws on the Veloster for inspiration along with redesigned tail lamps and a reshaped boot lid at the back, these photos provide a first glimpse of the interior.

Whereas the shape of the dashboard and instrument panel remain the same, the design of the center and lower console including the infotainment screen are brand new. Hyundai has completely revamped the air-conditioning and audio systems and has added three gauges right under the radio controls.

It should be noted that the car you see here is a South Korean specification model, but these changes are most likely to pass on the North American version as well.

The pictures also confirm our suspicions that Hyundai would replace the current model's regular 3.8-liter V6 with the newer and more advanced V6 powerplant of the same displacement but with direct injection (GDI) technology, as it did on the facelifted 2012 Genesis sedan earlier this year.

Logically, the 3.8-liter V6 GDI should deliver the same 333-horses and 291 lb.-ft. of torque that it does on the Genesis sedan. The current 3.8-liter V6 produces 306HP and 266 lb.-ft.

Furthermore, in addition to a 6-speed manual gearbox, the GDI will most likely be offered with Hyundai's newer 8-speed automatic transmission instead of the current model's 6sp unit.

the front...

:fuckthatshit:

I think it would look better if the black part were painted body color.

I agree that the shot taken up higher makes it look way better, its that head on view that doesn't work.

Power bump to 350HP/275HP + 8sp auto

2.0T looks to be a good dd if prices stay the same.

inb4 "but it's a Hyundai"

Looks alright, but that center console looks really busy.

With the new GDI 2.0T, this car is sex on wheels.

ugly as fuck

no thx

:fuckthatshit:

No thanks.

two months later, it has kind of grown on me... just a bit.

The old one has a clean smooth look to it. This one is straight up aggressive

I kinda like it.. :pokerface:

i've been waiting on this facelifted model to grow on me, but it hasn't happened, and i doubt it ever will. also that center console has way too much going on. i'm looking at the close up shot of it and i can't figure out what anything does. i'll take my first gen over this one anyday

the engine however, different story :megusta:

i got bored.. this is what i saw.

Attachment 8931

for some odd reason the car looks good in some angles & thats it

Imo, both gens look ugly

I disagree, the first gen body styling is just soooo sleek.

can't wait for the FR-S/BRZ to go head to head with this (the 2.0T)
Japan vs Korea...on top gear please

Looks a lot better in black imo.
Probably because it's hiding that hideous black catfish mouth

From Top Down:
Eject, volume
seek/track
Middle Section of Radio are controls like cd, am/fm, info etc.
Other side is audio control , bass, treble etc.

Next panel: Some useless gauges

Then Emerg lights/passenger airbag indictator

Then climate control, passenger/driver temp, off/on, mode, fan speed

Front defrost, rear defrost heated seat

Circulate/ heated seat

Aux input

Wow, black does look a lot better. The power increase is nice :D

Lol I am pretty sure that kt was exaggerating, he just meant it looks busy.

But holy shit if the turbo4 GT is still around 33k-ish drive away price with 275hp, brembo and lsd. that is some serious bang for the buck hp numbers

I remember 72 month 0 percent financing from last year promotion......
