Is this the facelifted Hyundai Genesis Coupe?

TopGear.com.ph Philippine Car News - Is this the facelifted Hyundai Genesis Coupe

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe has been around since February 2009. As befitting of any car that's on the verge of a midlife crisis, it deserves a makeover. Is that what we're looking at here? That may be the case if Hyundai-Blog.com is to be believed. 

Looking at the photo, we can see that the car's front fascia mimics a lot of elements from the Hyundai Veloster save for the scallops at the bottom of the headlights. The taller snout, though, has us wondering if this was only because of Hyundai's desire to apply the Veloster-like face on the Genesis Coupe or if the Korean carmaker has plans to put a bigger engine under the bonnet.

Hyundai has yet to confirm if this is indeed the facelifted Genesis Coupe so it looks like we'll have to wait and see.

    Its about time... And I've always disliked the GC's front fascia, most especially the nose.

    it's not photoshopped. there have been a lot more pictures in the www showing a whole line of units inside what is presumably a factory/storage area.

    this is not a photoshop, this picture is almost final model of new genesis coupe. it will change also engines, but in the phlippines since hyundai not bring in GDI Turbo,, we can not taste new engine. all of kia and hyundai GDI engines are better then V6...

    look at the hood and the supposedly air vents, it's not even symmetrical... again, i think this photoshopped...

    I think Hyundai must put up an assembly plant here to meet the local and regional demands of their line up.

    it looks like the veloster. i think the air vents are the only ones that's edited. :)

    It looks really good. I hope the 2.0 variants get the 291hp GDi engines! :)

    Medyo mahirap na pumili dahil doon sa power na magka-iba (despite of the same 3.8 liter V6) at mag-kaibang presyo.
