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.
Less than two months ago, Genesis gave us a healthy glimpse into its 2022 GV70 sport-luxury crossover. In my opinion, the newest GV70 is the purest expression of Genesis’ ‘Athletic Elegance’ design idiom. It’s smooth, svelte, and athletic shape reminds me of Infiniti’s FX/QX crossover first seen in 2003.
It seems the 2022 Genesis GV70 will offer more than just unprecedented luxury and good looks. According to the Korean Car Blog, the newest GV70 will feature an in-vehicle fingerprint-activated biometrics system and a new rear-seat detection radar sensor.
Genesis has revealed its newest model, with the 2022 GV70 promising both style and substance in the competitive crossover segment. Slotting in beneath the GV80 SUV as a smaller, sportier option, the new GV70 sticks with the "Athletic Elegance" design aesthetic we've seen from the Korean automaker recently, though arguably at its most extreme.
Emulate or innovate. When, as with the 2021 Genesis G80, you're taking on Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz in the segment that has for decades been their bread and butter, it would be easy to go conservative and simply borrow from their playbook. That's just what the first G80 did, indeed, a join-the-German-dots which ended up all proficiency and no passion. Nobody, though, would describe the new G80 as conservative.
You may not know what the 2021 Genesis GV80 is, in among the sea of SUVs that crowd the roads, but you'll definitely not miss it. In just a few years, Genesis' design language has developed from "look, we can do a chrome grille too," to something unique and striking. Unapologetically different, and absolutely all the better for that. What it sorely needed, though, was an SUV to use that on.
The 2022 Genesis G70 is among the last in Genesis’ portfolio to receive the brand’s new ‘Athletic Elegance’ design idiom. First seen in the G90, G80, and all-new GV80 luxury SUV, the 2022 G70 now has sleek quad headlamps and taillights, a bold crest grille, and a slew of performance tech. Making its first public appearance in its hometown of South Korea, it seems Genesis is intent on cementing its grasp in the luxury-sports sedan category.
Luxury automaker Genesis is offering some details on the 2021 Genesis GV80, which is the first SUV from the company, and the 2021 Genesis G80. The GV80 is Genesis, and its parent companies first entry the rear-wheel drive, mid-size luxury utility market. The automaker says that the 2021 Genesis G80 sets a new standard in executive mid-size sedan luxury and represents the core of its brand.
Genesis is a luxury car maker with several models in its line. The automaker says that the new Genesis G70 lines all of its existing models with its current Athletic Elegance design philosophy. The vehicle has leading safety features and a driver-focused interior. One of the more interesting interior features is a 10.25-inch infotainment system that can receive wireless over the air updates.
