Korean Luxury Brand with “Athletic Elegance”

Genesis has been a core part of the Hyundai Motor Group since its launch in 2015. Founded in Seoul, the brand has sold more than one million cars worldwide and has established itself as a leader in the premium electrified car sector, offering a distinct Korean identity with a focus on design, technology and the exceptional Korean hospitality of “Son-nim.”

Every model in the lineup is shaped by the brand’s “Athletic Elegance” design philosophy, which balances dynamic performance and elegant refinement. This balance ensures that cars feel powerful and purposeful while delivering comfort and sophisticated design.

• Electrified GV70 – the brand’s flagship SUV that blends dynamic performance with effortless convenience and luxury

• Electrified G80 – a luxury saloon with class-leading refinement and extended wheelbase, and the most comprehensively equipped Genesis model in Europe

All three models have recently been updated with advanced technology, a further refined design and an improved battery, resulting in increased range and improved performance.
