The premium branch of Hyundai, Genesis, finally announces its arrival in Europe with the G80 sedan and the GV80 SUV. The manufacturer is planning three electric models in the long term.
G80 ElectricGenesis had already been announced in Europe a few months ago. But the project has obviously been slightly delayed. It is now official: there is a new premium manufacturer in Europe. Genesis finally lands on the Old Continent, but through the back door. Genesis will initially be present in Zurich, Munich and London via dedicated centers. There will also be online sales, as Genesis does not currently have a dedicated network like Hyundai. Initially, only the Swiss, German and British markets will be affected during this European launch, which will take place in phases.
Interior of the Genesis G80"Genesis has optimized the automotive experience so that customers no longer have to go to a dealership, with delivery and collection of the vehicle for in-home services," said Genesis, adding that a five-year support plan is included with the purchase of a vehicle: warranty, overhaul, roadside assistance, loan car and remote updates.
GV80Initially, the G80 electric sedan and the GV80 SUV will be offered, competitors of the BMW 5 Series and X5. Unlike North Americans, Europeans should therefore not have access to the twin-turbo V6. The G70 and GV70 will then follow, in a lower segment (BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, etc.). A third 100% electric model, built on a specific platform, will also arrive on the European market.
