Today, Hyundai’s South Korean blog treated us to the first official photos of the upcoming 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
The new pictures confirm that the styling changes will bring the rear-wheel drive coupe in line with Hyundai’s more recent offerings such as the Veloster as well as the European i30 hatchback and i40 sedan.
The most obvious changes take place up front where the Genesis Coupe obtains a new nose featuring a larger hexagonal grille split in the middle by a glossy black section, along with a different bumper, sleeker lights and a redesigned hood with air vents.
At the back, we find brand new tail lamps sitting atop the redesigned bumper and a more concave boot lid.
We don’t have any official information on what’s going on under the sheetmetal, but it is believed that the 2013 Genesis Coupe will get Hyundai’s newer 3.8-liter V6 engine producing 333-horses and 291 lb.-ft. of torque, matched to a new 8-speed automatic transmission.
If our translation of the flyer is correct, Hyundai plans to introduce the refreshed Genesis Coupe in its home market on November 12. The North American model is slated to debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.
