This is our first look at the 2022 Genesis G80 Sport with a slightly more dynamic design than the standard model. Ever since the latest-generation G80 was unveiled, there has been speculation that Genesis would launch a Sport variant, as that’s exactly what it did with the previous G80. While technical specifications about the new model haven’t been announced, these images showcase a number of unique features. Found at the front of the 2022 G80 Sport is a grille finished in dark glossy chrome and a revised front bumper that is sharper and more aggressive than lesser G80s. The dark glossy chrome finish continues across the sides of the luxury sedan. A unique set of 20-inch alloy wheels are also featured as are brake calipers available in black and red. Alterations are less apparent at the rear but do include dark glossy chrome on the tailgate. There’s also a new bumper and a subtle diffuser. Buyers of the G80 Sport will be able to order it in an exclusive color dubbed Cavendish Red, nam...

Genesis has officially unveiled its 2022 Electrified G80 at the Shanghai Auto Show as the brand’s first all-electric vehicle. Powering the Genesis Electrified G80 (yes, that’s it’s real name) are a pair of electric motors that combine to produce 365 hp and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque, split evenly between the front and rear axles. Genesis claims the all-electric G80 can sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) in an impressive 4.9 seconds. Genesis has also equipped the EV with a 400V/800V multi-rapid charging system that allows customers to use various charging infrastructures. The automaker has not yet stated the capacity of the vehicle’s lithium-ion battery but says it will have a range exceeding 500 km (310 miles) on the NEDC cycle and can be charged from 10 per cent 80 per cent in just 22 minutes. The Electrified G80 also features a Disconnector Actuator System (DAS) that can automatically connect or disconnect the motor and drive shaft based on various driving conditions, including vehicle sp...

Set to be introduced later this month, the 2021 G80 adopts an “Athletic Elegance” design that looks simply phenomenal. Like the GV80, the model features a large crest grille which is flanked by Genesis’ trademark “quadlamps.”  Of course, the real highlights are further back as the G80 has a long flowing hood, muscular bodywork and 20-inch alloy wheels. In particular, the car has a long sweeping “parabolic line” that starts at the front fender and continues gracefully to the rear.  Genesis says this stylish accent is meant to evoke the “elegance of classic cars of the past.” The dynamic styling is visible elsewhere as designers gave the car a coupe-like roofline.  The design is far sportier than the current model and it recalls the Audi A7 Sportback. The rear end is also gorgeous as Genesis gave the G80 a trunk with a “horseshoe shaped negative surface.”  It’s joined by chrome trim and a trunk release button which mimics the shape of the Genesis logo....

We already know Hyundai's recently launched premium brand has an aggressive plan to establish itself in the market, but this is the first time we can see what  it has in store  for its expansion.  An image allegedly showing Genesis’ future schedule was obtained by the  Korean Car Blog , revealing that the premium brand is planning to launch no less than four new models by 2020.  These include the G70, a 3 Series-rivalling production version  of the New York Concept , two luxury SUVs to rival the likes of Audi’s Q7 and Q5 and a sport coupe that is probably going to be based on the underpinnings of the upcoming G70. According to the image, Genesis plans to reveal the entry-level G70 before 2017, with the rest of the models to follow gradually. The Korean company currently offers  the G90 full-sized luxury sedan  which is an updated and renamed version of the EQ900 and the G80, previously known as Hyundai Genesis.  Previous reports suggested ...
