TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Hyundai Genesis

Hyundai Genesis Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
2009	While competitors have been switching to relatively small turbocharged engines, the Genesis continues to rely on larger normally aspirated ones. Even the base car's 3.8-liter V6 is nearly twice the size of the Audi's turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Also, Hyundai doesn't yet offer automatic stop/start. The most significant impact: the Genesis gets much worse fuel economy. With two-wheel drive, the A6 2.0T scored 24 mpg city, 35 mpg highway in the EPA's tests, the Genesis 3.8 only 18/29. Add all-wheel drive, and the Audi's ratings fall to 22/32, the Hyundai's to 16/25, not good. Hyundai has developed a new turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 to replace the 3.8, but it isn't clear how soon this new, more efficient and more powerful engine will be available in the Genesis G80. It won't be available when the car arrives this summer, so most likely the 2018 model year. According to the trip computer, my real-world fuel economy was well above the EPA figures. Only when I drove the Genesis fairly aggressively did the trip computer average fall below 20 mpg. On my usual suburban route it averaged around 23 mpg, and on a 70-mph highway it averaged about 30 mpg. The former was still a few mpg short of the Audi, but the latter was at least as good. If the trip computer is accurate, the fuel economy of the Genesis isn't nearly as dismal as the EPA ratings indicate. see full Hyundai Genesis review

2012	4dr Sedan 333-horsepower 3.8L V6 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD	This is my second Genesis. First one was a 2010 4.6L and this has the 6 cyl and it is nearly as quick but gets better fuel mileage. I get in the high 20's on the highway. Used to get 25 to 27 in the 8cyl. This 2012 has an 8 speed transmission compared to the 2010's 7 speed. see full Hyundai Genesis review
2010	4dr Sedan 375-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	about average for a V8, nothing special see full Hyundai Genesis review

2010	4dr Sedan 375-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I would like the economy to be higher... 20-28 range see full Hyundai Genesis review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	With all the added technology, I would have expected better mileage. I average slightly less than 20 MPH and that is the same as an older heavier STS without the latest and greatest engine management features. see full Hyundai Genesis review
2009	4dr Sedan 375-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Others say they are getting the 18 to 24 MPG claimed. I find that when I do 80% "suburban driving" (strip malls, lights, in/out of car, etc), I get 16 at best. When I am doing 80 on the highway w/ cruise control, I get 23-26. see full Hyundai Genesis review

2012	4dr SUT 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Like many have said, should get better gas mileage for its smaller size. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2009	4dr SUT 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Should get better mileage for a smaller truck. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	16-18 MPG from a Honda is dismal. I averaged 20 MPG in my 2004 4x4 Ranger super cab. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	My records show the published manufacturer figures are excellent but competators seem to be doing a bit better see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	It does not have a fuel advantage for being a unit body. I am getting only a 1 mpg combined city/highway economy improvment over my Dodge Ram 3500 Megacab Diesel 4x4(which has been sold to buy this Honda.) see full Honda Ridgeline review
2007	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	I typically get 18 mpg in suburban driving, and 22 mpg at a steady highway cruise. Not awful, but I would like better mileage from a 3.5L V-6. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2007	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	13-15mpg around town. 18mpg on the road. Knew this going in though and I still LOVE this truck! see full Honda Ridgeline review
2007	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	The fuel economy is no better than other V6 trucks, and barely better than some V8 trucks. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2006	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	I would like to be 20+ mpg but in this category the Ridgeline is a "clunker" at about 15-18 mpg. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2006	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	i expected better- i get 17-18 over all. with a 1500 4wd chevy w/5.3 liter i got the same or better with much more power. see full Honda Ridgeline review
