Hyundai Genesis' future line-up leaked - ZigWheels

If this image is of the roadmap is to be believed, Hyundai might bring three cars by 2017 that will include a mid-luxury sedan named G80, a mid-luxury SUV, and a near-luxury sedan named G70. Going further, the Genesis brand can add two more cars to its arsenal, a near-luxury SUV and a near-luxury coupe, by 2020.

Luxury cars? OUT

 

[cacicgtp7]

Would be interested in their mid luxury SUV when it debuts.

 

[Primalzer]

Wouldn't the "near luxury sports coupe" be the Genesis coupe?

 

[SHARKBITEATTACK]

These cars are actually really nice. I've driven a few and if it weren't for the badges I would swear I'm in a Mercedes S-class. They also got a direct injected 5.0 DOHC V8 that intrigues me to the same level as the Ford coyote

God only knows how well they'll hold up 10 years down the road tho...

GENESIS G 80 pricing is out.

Looks like the price of the car will go up a couple grand but it will get options added as standard equipment making it actually cheaper than last year's car with the same options.

2017 Genesis G80 Starts at $42,350

I just don't understand the term "near-luxury"

just think "buick"

 

[Chet Donnelly]

They called my uncle last year and asked him to drive a Genesis prototype for a few weeks and provide feedback (he usually drives a BMW 750).

He said he was blown away with how nice it was.

Ze Germans do it too. The 1 series, A3, CLA are examples. People that for the brand name and the manufacturers hope that they will move up the lineup as they get older/make more money.

yeah i also dont get "near luxury"? That sounds like a rebadged Kia with leather and power windows.

Why not just say "entry-level luxury". I'm interested how these cars hold up in the long term. They are super nice new, but do they become rattle traps after like 30K miles?

Well Hyundai is trying to make a big upward push by spinning off its genesis brand.
Go take a look at the Hyundai Equus, the 3rd year of those (or second when they got the bugs out) is actually a very nice car. Like a poor mans maybach, okay, not maybach, like a poor mans merceds cls 550. It doesn't even seem like a normal Hyundai.

I know the Equus is a really nice car. I think its a good move to spin off a seperate "luxury" brand, similar to what Toyota, Nissan, and Honda did in the late 80s/early 90s. I'm just curious how they hold up long term.

'15-'16 Genesis reviewers usually say something like "This is a Hyundai? It reminds me of a _____ (insert German/Japanese luxury car)."

Because nobody clicks links or looks at forum titles...

Hyundai’s new Genesis luxury brand is kicking off sales in the U.S. next month, when the mid-size G80 sedan hits dealerships. Of course, the 2017 Genesis G80 is really just a Hyundai Genesis without the Hyundai “H” badges, but Genesis is surely hoping that customers won’t notice that they’re getting essentially the same car for a starting price of $42,350—$2650 more than when it was a Hyundai. Luckily, that higher price does include plenty of newly standard equipment that previously was optional. The bulk of this newly standard equipment falls under the active-safety umbrella, as the base G80 comes with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. All these systems were optional on the outgoing Hyundai but required adding pricey option packages that drove the price up to $47,100. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability also are new additions to the standard equipment list. 2017 Genesis G80 Otherwise, the G80 continues to offer the same two powertrains as before, with a 311-hp 3.8-liter V-6 as standard and a 420-hp 5.0-liter V-8 available as an option. All-wheel drive is $2500 extra for 3.8L models, while 5.0L V-8 models are rear-wheel-drive only. Genesis has rejiggered option packages a bit, with the G80 3.8 offering a $4750 Premium package (which includes a panoramic sunroof, a Lexicon surround-sound audio system, ventilated front seats, and a power rear sunshade) and a $4200 Ultimate package (with fancier leather, matte-wood trim, a head-up display, and a power trunklid, among other items) that can be added on top of the Premium package. Strangely, the Ultimate package’s larger, 9.2-inch touchscreen precludes the availability of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, meaning that tech-savvy buyers will want to avoid this option. The V-8-powered G80 5.0, which costs $55,500 (just $700 more than last year’s Hyundai Genesis 5.0), comes only as a fully loaded model with the Ultimate package, and also gains 19-inch wheels and quad exhausts to set it apart visually.

I dislike hyundai and kia a lot because they always copied other car brands body lines and badged it theirs .

No kidding. From 10 cars back I can't tell if its a Mercedes Maybach thing. Then I get closer and feel cheated.

Kia is absolutely horrible about copying body lines. Just as bad as the knock offs that get sold in China.

Reminds me of the old 80's movie "It takes two"

I agree 100% and also neglecting quality. My sis drives a '14 Kia SUV POS. It feels like a tin can, my 95 blazer feels better on the road.

I could never wrap my head around these things and completely assume that they were POS's like the rest of their bloodline.

PS for $55k, seems like there are a LOT of options one might consider over this thing.
