The new Genesis G80 sedan, a refresh of the model sold previously as the Hyundai Genesis, takes its world bow at the Busan International Motor Show today in Korea.
“We are striving to make a positive difference in the lives of our customers by becoming an important part of their lifestyles,” declares Manfried Fitzgerald, the former Lamborghini executive who now heads up the Genesis brand for Hyundai. “Creating fascination all begins with great design. That is why we are such a design-focused brand.”
The Genesis G80 will be available in Korea soon with Lambda 3.3L Turbo GDi and 3.8L GDi V-6 engines mated with 8-speed automatic transmissions.
It will be available later in a sports coupe version, also displayed at the Busan show.
No pricing information was given. The car is expected to hit the U.S. market this summer.
Genesis launched the larger G90 sedan in Korea last year and the U.S. this year. In addition to the G80, a G70 sedan will roll out in 2016, according to media reports. A midsize CUV launches in 2017 and an entry CUV and sports coupe are expected to join the lineup by 2020.
