Genesis - The birth of a brand | Fifth Gear

Показать описание

Genesis is the posh off-shoot of Hyundai. They’ve just arrived in the UK, with not one, but a full range of new cars – all of which look incredible and seem to offer great value for money. We look at three new models, including a few full EV ones, and ask if this is going to be the next Korean brand to take the world by storm.

I bought the Electrified G80 last July, and in virtually one year I have to say its the best car I've owned, and that's coming from 20 years owning several new Jaguars, and seven years with a Maserati Ghibli. My car is to the same external colour (the interior of mine is 'Arctic white), and like the car you drove fully optioned (albeit without the Executive pack - essentially screens in the back, and soft close doors) and at the time was £77, 500, which.made it more than 10 grand less than the much slower Merc EQE.
I never cease to be amazed at the attention the car gets from passers-by, who usually think its a Bentley or Aston. The link with Bentley is in fact there thanks to Bentley's ex cheif of design responsible for the design of the G80. BTW tye E G80 is marginally over 5 metres in length...

I like the GV60 form when i first saw it. Im not at the stage to jump to an EV yet, but hope to have a few used ones about when i am.

Why she looks more and more stuning every year?

Genesis G70 Shooting Brake is stunning!

Loving MY 2.5T GV70, replaced my beloved, high mileage, aging but beautiful 2015 audi allroad.

This should have been titled “Genesis - the Firth of Fifth Gear”

I own a G80 (petrol) and they are indeed very nice to drive, comfortable and with a decent amount of tech. I'd buy another one for sure.

0:28 Half a scone topped with jam first, then clotted cream .. the other, very much the opposite. Take a stand, Vicki.

Don’t understand why she didn’t test drive the best looking one in the middle, petrol still very relevant in 2023.

I am loving what I see, nice indeed, however I will like to see them in more places in the world. Even the small island nations.

0:41 Vicki, it’s pronounced “Hyun-day”, by the way.

They make some nice cars I hope they get through their difficulties and do well

Would be successful if they could repair their own cars. I have one in the fleet I look after, and 3 out of 5 dealers won't fix bodywork damage, won't sell the required parts to bodyshops and don't allow Hyundai or Kia dealerships to service or repair these cars. Yet it's a redressed Hyundai, who along with Kia have years of experience dealing with electric cars made by themselves.
If Genesis sort this out, they could survive in the UK, but their current setup will see them fail.

And how many people are going to look at those bonnet badges from a distance and think, _"Oh..! Is that a new Bentley?"_

Genesis Europe is currently present in three countries, the UK, Germany and Switzerland.
It will expand to new European countries, but managing director Lawrence Hamilton says that will not happen in 3-5 years’ time, ie not before at least 2026.

I think France, the Benelux area, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Austria, etc should be the biggest priorities for Genesis Europe’s expansion. And in case you’re living under a rock, Benelux is Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
