Genesis promised something big for its first luxury SUV, and the 2020 Genesis GV80 certainly delivers. Unveiled in South Korea this week, the newest addition to the automaker's range borrows from the striking styling of the redesigned G80 sedan, combining it with seating for up to seven. The "V" in the name, Genesis says, stands for "Versatility."
Genesis has priced up its striking 2020 G90 luxury sedan, and there's good news if you wanted S-Class style cosseting at Hyundai style pricing.

Genesis has unveiled the first images of its new SUV called the GV80. The GV80 is significant because it is the first SUV from the Genesis brand. Genesis uses a rear-wheel-drive platform for the SUV and says that it will bring versatility to the Genesis line.
Pulling up to the curb at the airport, the 2020 Genesis G90 looks like CGI dropped into real life. Little prepares you for quite how unexpected, how outlandish the new luxury sedan's styling is, nor how dramatically it cuts through the swathes of regular traffic. This may only be a mid-model refresh for the G90, but it's the sort of refresh that left LA teens pointing and gawking.
Genesis has unveiled the 2020 G90 sedan at the LA Auto Show. The 2020 G90 gets what Genesis calls new-car-level design changes on the exterior and interior. Genesis says the 2020 G90 formally introduces the next evolution of the Genesis signature design language.
If electrification hits the reset button on what "luxury" means in automotive, then Genesis may have come up with the perfect car to change the story from what the big German firms are offering. Hyundai's luxe arm has been chipping away at the full-size prestige and sports sedan segments in recent years, with mixed success, but it might take an altogether different car to really stand out.
Genesis has unveiled a concept car at the New York Auto Show that is called the Mint Concept that it says introduces a new "typology" for the premium city car. The car has a simple and attractive exterior design and a "decluttered" interior that is minimalist and premium at the same time. The Mint Concept is an electric luxury city car that is designed to be a lightweight runabout that has a new shape for a city car that Genesis says is tailored to the modern lifestyle.

Back in March, Sega announced a new mega compilation of Genesis games called - what else? - Sega Genesis Classics. At the time, the release was only confirmed for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, with a Switch version mysteriously missing from Sega's announcement. Last month, Sega righted that particular wrong by confirming a Switch version of Sega Genesis Classics, and today we're finding out when it will arrive.
Genesis has priced up the 2019 G70, and the fiesty sports sedan has the BMW 3 Series firmly in its sights. Headed to dealerships this week, the G70 will be priced from $34,900 plus destination, and attempt to lure in enthusiastic drivers with its manual gearbox option.
It's proving to be a surprisingly big day for retro consoles. Sony kicked things off by announcing the PlayStation Classic, a mini console modeled after the very first PlayStation with 20 pre-loaded games, and now Sega has delivered an update on its Mega Drive Mini. Unfortunately, it isn't a particularly good update.
For Genesis, being a three-year-old car brand is a blessing and a curse. The automaker, currently riding high on first reports about the all-new 2019 Genesis G70, is Hyundai's play to compete with some of the most respected names in the auto industry: Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. If it's to stand a chance, however, it needs more than just better-quality leather and sharper styling to recommend it.
