A rear-drive coupe with a V6 heartbeat
Drive a Genesis Coupe
The Genesis Coupe is a two-door, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe built through the 2016 model year. Today it's a modern-classic enthusiast pick, and one of the most driver-focused cars you'll find among Hyundai rental options.
On Turo, you book your Genesis Coupe from a local vehicle owner on the car rental marketplace. Pick your dates, choose the listing that fits your plans, and arrange pickup with the local vehicle owner.

A 3.8L V6 built to rev
The final-year Genesis Coupe runs a 3.8L direct-injected V6 that makes 348 hp at 6,400 rpm on premium fuel (344 hp on regular). Torque peaks at 295 lb-ft at 5,100 rpm, so the engine rewards you for holding a gear and letting it climb.
Your choice of manual or paddle shifters
You get to decide how hands-on your drive feels. The six-speed manual puts every shift under your control — clutch, lever, and timing included. It's the purist's pick for a front-engine coupe with this much power.
Prefer to keep both hands on the wheel? The eight-speed automatic adds paddle-shift Shiftronic, so you can click through gears yourself or let the car shift for you in traffic. One catch: the R-Spec trim came only with the manual. If a listing says R-Spec, plan on three pedals, and check the listing details before you book to land the setup you want.
Rear-wheel-drive balance
The Genesis Coupe sends its power to the rear wheels, the classic layout for a sports coupe. The engine sits up front and the drive happens at the back, so the front tires focus on steering while the rears do the pushing. You'll feel that split the moment you turn into a curve.
Curb weight lands around 3,500 lbs across the final-year trims, which keeps the car settled and composed at highway speeds. That weight pairs with the V6 for a grand-touring personality: relaxed on long stretches, eager on a winding back road. It's the kind of balance that makes a simple errand feel like a drive worth taking.
Stand out with a Genesis Coupe
The Genesis Coupe suits weekend drives, modern-classic bucket lists, and test drives before you buy used. Production ended after 2016, so a sports car rental on Turo lets you get behind the wheel of one you can't buy new anymore. Shopping for a used one? A multi-day trip lets you try it on your own roads, commute, and parking garage before you commit.
Top Genesis Coupe features
A modern classic with a short run
Three things set the Genesis Coupe apart: a short production run, a two-plus-two cabin, and a straightforward fuel picture.
The Genesis Coupe had a seven-year run in the US, covering model years 2010–2016. That's a brief window for a sports coupe, and it's part of what gives the car its modern-classic status today. New ones simply don't exist anymore.
The final 2016 lineup came in three trims: the 3.8 Base, the 3.8 R-Spec, and the 3.8 Ultimate. Listings on Turo can span the full production run, so you might find an early car or a final-year example depending on where you're booking. Each listing shows the year and trim, so you'll know exactly which version you're getting before you confirm your trip.
Two doors, four seats
The Genesis Coupe seats four, but it's best to think of it as a two-plus-two. Two adults ride comfortably up front, while the rear seats work best for shorter rides or overflow bags. With only two doors, rear-seat riders climb in past the front seats — worth knowing before you plan a group outing.
Trunk space comes in at 10.0 cu ft, so packing light is the move. Soft duffels and backpacks fit a coupe trunk more easily than large hard-shell suitcases. For a weekend for two, that's plenty of room to bring what you need and leave the rest at home.
Fuel range to match the fun
The 2016 Genesis Coupe earns 19 mpg combined, and the manual and automatic share the same rating. That's honest mileage for a 348-hp V6. Map out a fuel stop or two on longer drives and you're set.
Fuel grade is flexible, too. Premium delivers the full 348 hp, while regular is fine and still gives you 344 hp — a gap of just four horsepower. Either way, you'll spend less time thinking about the pump and more time enjoying the drive.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Genesis Coupe
Get to know your Genesis Coupe
Check the trim, transmission, and fuel notes in the listing before you book. Those three details shape how your Genesis Coupe trip feels from the first mile.
Start with the listing details. Confirm the trim (Base, R-Spec, or Ultimate), the transmission, and the model year, since specs can vary across the 2010–2016 run. If you have your heart set on the manual, narrow your search by that detail first.
Want a different personality from the same automaker? A Hyundai Ioniq 5 rental gives you an all-electric SUV for trips where cargo room and quiet cruising matter more than shifting gears.
Genesis Coupe driving tips
If the listing has a manual, make sure you're comfortable with a clutch before you book, especially for city traffic and hills. In rain, ease into the throttle: rear-wheel drive and 295 lb-ft can spin the rear tires on wet pavement.
Check the listing for any fuel grade preference from the local vehicle owner, and fill up accordingly. Plan your luggage around the 10.0 cu ft trunk, too.
How much does it cost to rent a Genesis Coupe?
The local vehicle owner sets the price of a Genesis Coupe rental, so it varies by location, trip dates, and trim. Enter your dates and location to see current prices on each listing.
Discounts for longer trips may apply. If you need the car for weeks or months, explore long-term car rental options on Turo.
