More About Genesis
Genesis is a luxury arm of Hyundai, just like what Lexus is to Toyota and Acura is to Honda. It all started with the idea of bringing in a concept of a luxury car in 2003, with the first Hyundai Genesis model entering production in 2008. Later in November 2015, Hyundai officially established Genesis as a standalone luxury brand. Currently, Genesis has a strong presence in the global market, with a lineup of six models: G70, GV80, G90, and their electric counterparts (GV60, electric G80, electric GV70).

CarDekho Says…
By bringing in Genesis to India, Hyundai is gearing up to step beyond the mass market and into luxury territory. So far, Hyundai has been a strong player in the mass market, but it has yet to make its mark in the luxury segment, which is mainly dominated by Germans: Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi. With the locally assembled products and aggressive pricing, Genesis could pose a strong competition to these brands.
