Genesis has revealed its latest model, with the 2022 G70 Shooting Brake proving to be a sleek and teasing reminder that the US often misses out on the most fun. Based on the G70, but with a curvaceous wagon body, the newest iteration from Hyundai's luxury arm does nothing to disprove that Genesis is responsible for some of the most striking design in the car world right now.
In cooperation with the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) annual ‘Look Before You Lock’ pediatric heatstroke prevention campaign, South Korean automaker Hyundai and its Genesis luxury arm will now offer rear-occupant alert technologies as standard in its vehicle lineup.
Genesis unveiled the refreshed 2022 G70 sport-luxury sedan in October last year. Even though the G70 is among the first Genesis models to land stateside, it’s the last to inherit the brand’s ‘Athletic Elegance’ design philosophy after refreshing the G80, G90, and unveiling the all-new GV80 SUV.
Genesis promised us an all-electric model, and now we get to see just what that is, with the Electrified G80 giving the luxury automaker its first pure EV. Unveiled at Auto Shanghai 2021 today, it takes the well-received G80 sedan and gives it an all-wheel drive electric makeover.
After a first few awkward and ill-fated attempts, drone shows have become a bit more common these days, at least for companies and organizations that can afford to deploy as many drones possible to create a captivating nighttime show. If you thought Intel's 1,218 drones in the 2018 Winter Olympics was already breath-taking, then the more than 3,000 drones that lit up central Shanghai might be even more enchanting, courtesy of Hyundai's luxury marque Genesis.
We already knew Genesis could make some darn fine looking automobiles, but Hyundai's luxury arm may have outdone itself with the new Genesis X Concept coupe. Unveiled today, the vision of a future GT coupe takes the design cues we've seen Genesis apply to excellent effect on vehicles like the G80 and GV80, then cranks them up even further for a lavish two-door.
It's perhaps a measure of how much you like a car, that you still want to drive it even when that's perhaps ill-advised. Taking a supercar to do grocery shopping - and then playing paper towel Tetris in the parking lot as you try to fit everything into the trunk - is a good example, and to that I can add trying to coax a rear-wheel drive 2021 Genesis GV80 to play nicely in the Midwest snow.
Genesis has revealed the new 2022 G70 Launch Edition, the first of the refreshed versions of its compact sports sedan to land in the US, looking handsome with the automaker's striking new design language. Announced last October, Genesis' smallest sedan will debut initially in the form of the limited-production 2022 G70 Launch Edition, with only 500 expected to be offered.
Samsung is working with four major automakers to turn its Galaxy S21 smartphones into digital car keys, as the company chases Apple and its already-launched iPhone as Key tech. The Android phone-maker announced the collaborations with Audi, BMW, Ford, and Genesis during its Galaxy Unpacked 2021 event today, where it unveiled three new smartphones.
Genesis is getting ready to fill the conspicuous EV gap in its line-up, with plans to launch crossover electric vehicles in 2021 that tap parent automaker's E-GMP architecture. The so-called Electric-Global Modular Platform is expected to underpin models from Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis, with Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Euisun Chung today confirming some details as to what's set to show up in dealerships.
The auto industry loves a trend, so here's hoping the 2020 Genesis G90 proves inspirational for 2021 when it comes to wheel style. For such an important part of how a vehicle looks and performs, it feels a lot like rim design has fallen into a rut over the past decade. Then along came luxury contender Genesis, and upset everything.
It's clear that Genesis is on a roll right now, its first SUV reaping rave reviews, and a smaller - and even more striking - crossover set to do the same in the segment below. Easy, then, to forget where that punchy reputation arguably first started, in the shape of the G70 sedan. Flag-bearer for the South Korean luxury marque's eye-catching aesthetic, the G70 also neatly demonstrated that Genesis knew how to dial in a sports sedan.
