At the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe also received some significantly refreshed. When it comes to this sports coupe’s mid-cycle refresh, the most obvious difference is a contemporary look and new interior enhancements.

New LED daytime running lights, hood with heat extractor cues, tweaked LED taillights and a new rear wing.
