What is Genesis?
1 Answers
Genesis is the premium automotive brand of Hyundai, commonly known as "Genesis" in China. Genesis is considered a niche luxury brand, and all Genesis vehicles in China are imported models. Similar to Lexus for Toyota and Acura for Honda, Genesis is Hyundai's luxury division, though very few people are familiar with this brand. Here is some information about Genesis: 1. Currently, the luxury car market in China is dominated by BBA (BMW, Benz, Audi), and Genesis has very low brand recognition with minimal media attention, resulting in very few buyers. Therefore, all Genesis models in China are imported. Genesis is positioned as a mid-to-large luxury sedan, equipped with a 3.0L V6 engine producing 257 horsepower and a 3.3L V6 engine producing 282 horsepower. It features an 8-speed automatic transmission with a top speed of 230 km/h. The vehicle has an overall length of 4990mm, and its 3010mm wheelbase is even longer than that of the Volkswagen Phaeton. 2. Genesis adopts a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout with a 50:50 weight distribution, significantly enhancing its driving dynamics and sporty performance. Additionally, Genesis offers an array of luxurious interior configurations. For consumers tired of BBA and seeking something unique, Genesis could be an excellent alternative.
