GENESIS G80 ELECTRIFIED

  By ,

Genesis G80 Electrified is as its name suggests an electrified version of Genesis’ large G80 luxury sedan. But it is a conversion rather than a dedicated EV, evidenced by the blanked-out radiator grille. G80 is popular with hire car drivers because it offers plenty of splash for relatively little cash. However, with a small boot and tight rear seat the electrified version may not be quite as appealing. STYLING G80 is a big, impressive-looking car that radiates quality. It sits a shade over 5.0 metres at 5005mm, with a wheelbase… Read more

  By , ,

by Ewan Kennedy & Julie Saville The Genesis GV60 is the smallest of three SUVs from Hyundai’s luxury sub-brand behind the mid-sized GV70 and large GV80. Each of the three models get different powertrain choices, the GV80 comes with turbo- petrol or diesel, as does the GV70 but with an EV option added. Our test vehicle, the GV60, is electric only. Genesis GV60 sits on the same platform as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 with potential buyers sure to line up the three siblings alongside each other. Firstly,… Read more

GENESIS COUPE STEPS UP A GEAR

  By ,

Hyundai’s luxury arm Genesis continues to expand, with the GV80 Coupe Concept. It’s inspired by the X Speedium Coupe Concept that was unveiled last week in New York. Genesis says the concept combines the practicality of an SUV with the dynamism of a sports car. Of perhaps greater interest, the coupe represents a preview of bigger things to come – more emotional, performance-oriented models. Genesis’ rear-wheel-drive platform provides the basis for the GV80 Coupe Concept’s long bonnet and generous proportions. These refined proportions are emphasised by the ‘anti-wedge’ parabolic line….

GENESIS, CHAPTER FIVE – SUV POWER . . . AND GLORY

  By ,

In Biblical terms, Genesis is how it all began; in the automotive scheme of things, it is similar in that the Hyundai aristocratic family tree’s early sprouts have been joined by an electric powered version of its GV70 sports utility vehicle. On the surface the Electrified GV70 – the fifth and range-topping SUV in the family – gives away little of a shift in method of propulsion, but under the skin it refuses to be ignored, showcasing the latest in luxury and advanced technology in all their glory. The Power… Read more

GENESIS LAUNCHES THREE-PRONGED ELECTRIC OFFENSIVE

A rapid-fire offensive has seen Genesis launch three EVs this month, including its first dedicated all-electric model the GV60 SUV. GV60 is available now in Australia along with the Electrified G80 sedan, with Electrified GV70 to follow later this year. GV70 is the biggest-selling model in the lineup. The small coupe-like GV60 sits on the EV-specific E-GMP platform, with a spacious, inviting interior that benefits from clever design elements such as a compact dash, flat floor, floating console and slim seats. The platform is shared with the Hyundai Ioniq 5… Read more

GENESIS G70 3.3T SPORT

  By ,
G70

Genesis G70 is a rear-drive four-door sports sedan but it could be classed as a 2+2 because rear legroom is quite limited (especially with a tall driver). A $10,000 Luxury Pack was also fitted to our test car along with matte finish paint which adds another $2000 to the price, bringing the grand total to $87,876. The pack includes a 12.3-inch full screen instrument cluster with 3D function, head-up display, a 16-way adjustable driver’s seat with memory function, heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, power-operated rear boot lid and premium… Read more
