The current Hyundai Genesis is 196.5″ long, 74.8″ wide, on a 118.5″ wheelbase, weighing 4,295 lb. Since 2009 it has grown 4% in length and gained 18% in weight. At 16.4 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every Hyundai Genesis generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens for the Hyundai Genesis, 664 lb of it since 2009, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009–2014 | 189.4″ | 74″ | 56.3″ | 113.4″ | 3,631 lb |
| 2015–2016 | 196.5″ | 74.8″ | 57.9″ | 118.5″ | 4,295 lb |
From 2009 to today the Genesis gained 7.1″ of length (4%) and 664 lb of weight (18%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
Genesis year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 8 years on record for the Hyundai Genesis. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are the 2 new platforms below.
| Model year | Length | Width | Wheelbase | Curb weight | Body styles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 191.7″ | 74.4″ | 116.1″ | 3 | |
| 2015 | 191.7″ | 74.4″ | 116.1″ | 3 | |

Will a Genesis fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search, and for a 16.4-foot Hyundai Genesis it has a straight answer. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep and a street parking space about 18, so the Genesis clears the garage by 2.6 ft. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 16.4 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 16.4 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 6.2 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 818 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 74.8″ | 74″ | +0.8″ |
| Wheelbase | 118.5″ | 113.4″ | +5.1″ |
| Curb weight | 4,295 lb | 4,096 lb | 199 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. At 4,295 lb the Hyundai Genesis is 198 lb heavier than typical for its size, which generally shows up as fuel economy and stopping distance.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display, 8 measured model years for the Hyundai Genesis between 2009 and 2016.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and the Hyundai Genesis fits into 2 rows instead of 8. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation of the Hyundai Genesis.
