The Genki used to top the range and only comes as a five-door hatch priced at $20,690 for the manual and $22,690 for the auto. You can tell the Genki apart by its gunmetal alloys, body coloured mirrors, LED DRLs, chrome exhaust tip and gunmetal grille decoration.
The extra $3000 over the Maxx means you get 16-inch alloy wheels, power windows and mirrors (now with power folding feature), cloth trim, climate control, sat nav, cruise control, leather gearshifter, handbrake and steering wheel, plus keyless start, reversing camera, auto wipers, auto LED headlights, body coloured mirrors, head-up display and rear parking sensors.
