Articles on Genesis

Genesis Motor, LLC, is the luxury vehicle division of the Hyundai Motor Group. Initially a model name under Hyundai, Genesis was spun off as an independent marque in 2015 with the first Genesis-branded vehicle, the flagship luxury sedan G90.

Hyundai Genesis was introduced in 2008 as an expansion of the company's lineup to rear-wheel drive luxury vehicles. Commercial success and consumer demand encouraged Hyundai to spin Genesis off.

Besides the flagship luxury sedan G90 and the successor of the original Genesis sedan, the G80, the marque has two other vehicles in its lineup: the compact executive sedan G70, and the midsize crossover SUV GV80.

Genesis plans to introduce a coupe and two crossovers in the coming years. Hyundai is planning to launch the brand in Europe and in Asia beyond its home market South Korea and China.
