Fuel economy by year

How it compares

Against the average large cars in this dataset (about 29 MPG), the Genesis sits roughly 9 MPG below that mark on average, making it a thirstier-than-average choice for its class.

Five-year fuel cost

Fuelling a Genesis for five years at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis costs roughly $14,750 to $22,250, averaging about $18,500 across the versions here. That is the energy bill alone — it excludes insurance, maintenance and depreciation, which for most owners together exceed what goes into the tank.

The range within the range

Economy across the Genesis varies by about 4 MPG between its most and least frugal versions, which run on gasoline. Engine size, turbocharging, drivetrain and even wheel size explain most of that gap, so when you shop a used Genesis check which version you are looking at before comparing its running cost to another car.
