Genesis

While the Aptera may be the closest thing we now have to the EV of the future, it isn’t yet the ideal EV for the present except for some unique use cases that could be strong enough, if the company focuses, to carry the company through to that future.

We offer an unusual format of a review with the GV80 from Genesis. We drive it ourselves and also interview an owner.

2024 is your last chance to buy one of these enthusiast sports cars, before they get discontinued.

It’s hard to believe that a Subaru model made Autotrader’s ten best interiors for 2024. See why the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek shocked me and the judges.

The IIHS reported that eleven new cars were rated "Poor" in its new partial driving automation system testing. See which seven vehicles are the worst.

Hyundai, Kia and Genesis form the Hyundai Motor Group (HMG), a conglomeration akin to General Motors. In the US, HMG’s EV sales were higher than all other manufacturers, save Tesla. HMG will likely further increase its US sales lead in 2024.

The 2023 GV70 is a sporty vehicle offering a fun driving experience with great acceleration and a nice design. The electrified version, reviewed here, is no exception and keeps the G-Matrix signature on the grille while hiding its charging port.

Kia keeps getting lauded for its new vehicles, tallying multiple new awards in just the last week. Let’s break down a list of some of the most recent, and briefly consider what the significance of these awards might be.

Torque News had the opportunity to test Genesis’ new GV70 electric vehicle. We found it to be an exciting new option for those who might otherwise consider a Tesla Model Y but who want a luxury vehicle.

Genesis is rapidly expanding. Its newest dealership is in Atlanta. Here’s why it matters for this luxury brand.

Some may say that 2022 was the year that electric vehicles (EVs) really took off, saleswise, or (finally) began to rapidly increase market share in the U.S. It is certainly true that electric vehicles sold in larger numbers than ever before in the U.S. last year, and almost every automaker is hurriedly bringing new EVs to market too. But how big are these increases really, and which automakers are capturing the most EV market share?

I’ve written up several predictions of which automotive brands will round out the top 5 plug-in electric sales spots (behind 1st place Tesla). Now that we are near the end of another year, we can pretty well see how those predictions turned out, but what does next year have in store for the U.S. plug-in electric vehicle market? Will the same 5 brands retain their lead spots next year too, or will we start to see some shifts?

The other day I shared a nice lunch and conversation with an older stranger at a winery. We talked about wine, the stories behind each bottle and label, and after a while the conversation turned to electrified vehicles. He was very interested to hear about my experiences and thoughts as he was considering purchasing his first EV or plug-in hybrid for himself, or possibly for his wife.

Genesis has now shown off its latest concept electric sports car design. This time a convertible. This puts Genesis way ahead of Tesla in one critical EV market segment.

We have just tested a new battery-electric luxury performance vehicle that may well be one of the world’s best vehicles by any measure.

Ford takes home a pair of trophies in awards results featuring a lack of electric vehicles despite strong finalists.

Do you know about the Hyundai Ioniq 5, and the Kia EV6? If you do, then it should not come as a surprise to you that Genesis, a premium brand from the Hyundai-Kia conglomerate, created a fancy version of that automobile. Welcome the 2023 Genesis GV60, an only-electric EV SUV with Boost mode, Drift mode, face-recognition, and a wireless charging capability.

Tesla just had its AI Day event and it was very technical and detailed. I'm excited for where their AI tech is going, but I also thought about Elon Musk talking in videos about how we must be cautious and very careful as we create AI.

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra is a finalist for North American Car of the Year. Can it win? This could be its year.

There was a lot of hoopla yesterday about the U.S. introduction of the 2021 Hyundai Tucson and 12 new SUVs by 2021. Oddly lost in the news was an announcement of a partnership with Nvidia, which is much bigger for the company.

The new Genesis GV70 SUV just got released, and this could be the vehicle to bring Genesis to the mainstream. I also think this is the perfect vehicle for Genesis to turn into an EV.

This week Torque News reviewed the 2020 G70 RWD 3.3T Sport. G70 has received numerous awards from the hands of various organizations during its few years of existence. The Good Design Award for 2018, North American Car of the Year 2019, JD Power's Best Initial Quality for 2019, IIHS Top Safety Pick plus Top Choice, and the list goes on. Let's see what makes the 2020 G70 so special.

While the 2018 Genesis G80 Sport is far more capable of showing off its performance-inspired design on a cool summer night, this rear-wheel-drive, twin turbocharged luxury sedan does a great job of battling Old Man Winter’s fury - reminding me why the Genesis models deserve to be in a brand of their own rather than a model in the Hyundai lineup.

Out of all fairness to Genesis, our 2018 G80 test vehicle shows 11,000 miles on the odometer. It’s been driven. And frankly, this review could be titled “Used Genesis G80 holds up well under abuse,” knowing that this ultimate sport sedan has been beaten and abused by the press corp.

We try out the newest Genesis trim and give it two thumbs up.

The 2018 Genesis G80 and G90 share rarified air with 3 luxury brands. They all have the safest large luxury cars on the planet.

A lot of folks may not be aware that Genesis is the luxury brand for Hyundai – or even that it exists at all.

The Genesis G80 is a finalist in the 2017 International Design Excellence Awards.

Like all automakers, Hyundai is working on self-driving technology.
