At Genesis of South Bay in Torrance, CA, we’re excited to see Genesis becoming an increasingly hot topic among luxury performance brands. As MotorTrend said late last year, “Interest in Genesis…is at a fever pitch.” Only two years ago, Genesis introduced the sleek new Genesis G70 sports sedan, daring enough to challenge entrenched luxury brands. Not long afterwards, MotorTrend named the 2019 Genesis G70 the “MotorTrend Car of the Year.”
Now the company has transformed the Genesis G70 for 2022, looking for all the world like a whole new model. For this year, Genesis recently initiated a major global launch of the Genesis GV70, the brand’s second SUV and the world’s first “urban compact luxury SUV.” Let’s take a deeper dive into some of the exciting things that are happening for Genesis owners and aficionados in 2021 and beyond.
The 2022 Genesis G70 Gets A Limited-Edition Launch
The updated Genesis G70 Sports Sedan will go on sale in the spring. Genesis will emphasize the 2022 G70's aura of exclusivity with a Launch Edition model featuring unique color combinations. This very special series will be limited to 500 vehicles and comes exclusively with the G70's upgrade engine, a twin-turbo 3.3-liter V-6 with 365 horsepower. If you live in a neighboring community like Redondo Beach, CA, ask us about reserving one of these unique new luxury sports sedans when they arrive.
The 2022 Genesis G80, Coming This Fall: Big Interior, Even Bigger Impact
Genesis hasn’t set a release date, but the 2022 G80 is expected late this fall. The Genesis G80 is a medium-sized luxury sedan with a spacious cabin that sits five comfortably. Its new styling is highlighted by a distinctive fastback silhouette. A thickly padded steering wheel, real wood, and quilted Nappa leather help surround you with elegance. In the technology category, the Genesis G80 offers a 14.5-inch touchscreen display and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster on all trims. Among the upgrades are a wireless device charger and a resounding 21-speaker Lexicon audio system.
The Genesis G90 Sedan Just Keeps On Impressing
As the full-size luxury flagship, the 2021 Genesis G90 continues its remarkable run. This elegant model has earned a well-deserved spot on the Car & Driver’s 2021 Editor’s Choice List. It comes with a standard twin-turbocharged V-6 or an available 5.0-liter V-8. Both engines are smooth and quiet, helping to create a serene cabin environment. The G90's front and rear seats are generously-sized, and the cabin comes equipped with a satisfying array of standard luxury features.
Worth the Wait: The 2022 Genesis GV70, Arriving in the Summer of 2021
The Genesis GV70 was recently celebrated in an extensive global launch and will arrive this summer as the world’s first urban compact luxury SUV. The GV70 will be offered in America with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, as well as an optional 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 power plant. It’s well-suited for both urban and off-road driving, and it’s capable of delivering up to 380 horsepower.
In terms of technology, the GV70 lives up to the high brand standard, but it’s most compelling in its personal touch. With the GV70, you’ll be able to start your car or even pay for gas with nothing but your fingerprint.
The Genesis GV80, Our First SUV: Still Blazing Trails
It was the first-ever Genesis SUV and it’s still pushing the limits of style and performance. The Genesis GV80 comes with a full complement of advanced technology, along with rugged, all-road capability and a high level of interior comfort. You can choose either a 300-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four or a 375-horsepower twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6. To no one’s surprise, the Genesis GV80 earned recognition in the 2021 Car & Driver 10Best awards, and it’s an SUV that will continue to outpace its rivals.
How Genesis is Shaping the Future of Electrics
As the brand develops its first electric-powered vehicles, Genesis has already unveiled two attention-getting electric concept cars: The Genesis Mint and the Genesis Essentia. These two exciting electric prototypes aren’t for sale, but they help Genesis refine the direction of electric transportation.
The Genesis Mint is an electric luxury city car that gives urban dwellers a maneuverable electric coupe that’s fun to drive. The Genesis Essentia features a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque body with dramatic butterfly doors that open with a fingerprint sensor. As Genesis designs and tests electric cars like these, our electric vision comes into sharper focus.
