Hyndai Genesis Audio System - OK, I'm Impressed

CarDomain Senior Account Executive Dima Ariss was one of a lucky few to land the opportunity to sample Hyundai's new Genesis sedan recently, and snapped off a couple camera phone pics of the impressive Lexicon factory navigation sound system. Lexicon is a Harman International company (Infinity, JBL, Harman Kardon, Crown, etc), and builds some of the premium audio systems found in select Mercedes, BMW, and Land Rover cars as well as the stout Rolls Royce Phantom. The Genesis is a quite an impressive car and has really shocked the auto industry, and the audio system easily competes with those found in much more expensive vehicles. We've got a full feature list and a few more pics after the jump. Although not directly called out in the features by name, I'm going to assume this car will eventually come equipped with the future Hyundai Microsoft Sync system as well, but maybe with a different name. Hit the jump for the rest of the details!

System Features:

• 17 Speaker, 500+ Watt Lexicon discreet premium sound system
• 6 disc, in dash DVD changer with auxiliary, USB, and iPod inputs
• XM Radio and HD Digital Radio
• XM NavTraffic
• 8 inch navigation screen with 30 GB hard drive
• Speech dialog system
• Bluetooth hands free mobile phone connection
• Heated and cooled driver seat
• UV reflective, leather-wrapped steering wheel
• Electric parking brake (EPB) and automatic vehicle hold (AVH)
