Genesis, the luxury arm of Korea’s Hyundai Motor Group, was established in 2015. Since its debut in the UK market in mid-2021, Genesis has set its sights on competing with prestige brands such as Audi, Jaguar, BMW, and Mercedes.
The brand focuses on delivering luxury and comfort, with an ambition to provide the ‘finest automobiles for connoisseurs’ worldwide. Yet, alongside these qualities, Genesis also offers impressive performance and advanced electrified powertrains across its model range.
The G70 sports saloon, a key entry point for Genesis leasing, offers an alternative to cars like the Audi A4, Jaguar XE, or Kia Stinger GT. Available as a saloon or a G70 ‘shooting brake’ estate, it comes with either a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine producing 194 bhp, or a more powerful 2.2-litre diesel delivering 197 bhp and up to 45 mpg. The top-spec ‘Sport Line’ versions of the G70 are equipped with performance enhancements such as a limited-slip differential, Brembo brakes, and luxury features like a heated steering wheel.
The GV80 SUV sits at the top of Genesis' range, providing a rival to the Mercedes-Benz GLE and Volvo XC90. It can be configured with 7 seats and offers a potent 2.5-litre petrol engine delivering 304 PS, combined with all-wheel drive. The GV70, its smaller sibling, competes with the Audi Q5, offering similar luxury and performance.
Genesis has also made significant strides in the electric vehicle market. The electrified G80 saloon has a range of up to 323 miles and supports ultra-fast charging, enabling the battery to go from 10% to 80% in just 22 minutes. For added efficiency, the G80 EV features solar panels in its roof, helping to alleviate range concerns.
The GV60, a compact all-electric SUV crossover, delivers up to 321 miles of range and as much as 483 bhp, depending on the model. Meanwhile, the GV70 EV marks Genesis' first all-electric SUV, boasting sleek design, a minimalist yet luxurious interior, and an impressive 490 PS, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.2 seconds.
