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, 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. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.
| 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 | |
| 2014 | 189.4″ | 74″ | 113.4″ | 4 | |
| 2013 | 189.4″ | 74″ | 113.4″ | 4 | |
| 2012 | 189.4″ | 74″ | 113.4″ | 4 | |
| 2011 | 189.4″ | 74″ | 113.4″ | 4 | |
| 2010 | 189.4″ | 74″ | 113.4″ | 4 | |
| 2009 | 189.4″ | 74″ | 113.4″ | 2 |
Will a Genesis fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. 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. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

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.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
