Genesis, the luxury vehicle division of Hyundai Motor Group, is charting an ambitious path forward with plans to introduce several new models in the coming years. This new era will begin with the launch of the GV90 flagship EV model in 2026 (check the full info here) and will lead the brand to compete face to face with their competitors.
G80 & GV80 Full Change: A New EREV Sedan & SUV
One of the most anticipated models is the GV80 Full Change, a new electric SUV expected to debut in 2027. The next gen GV80, known internally as JX2, will arrive a year later than expected. The GV80 Full Change is poised to combine the brand’s hallmark luxury and craftsmanship with advanced electric vehicle technology, using EREV system for the first time. Until the next gen arrives in 2027, Genesis will extend the life of the current GV80 with the addition of a 2.5-liter Hybrid engine.
Following the GV80 Full Change, Genesis plans to launch the G80 Full Change in 2028. This new EREV sedan is set to redefine the standards of luxury electric vehicles. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the new G80 is expected to boast a sleek, aerodynamic design and the mentioned EREV powertrain that will deliver both impressive range and exhilarating performance. Like the GV80, the G80 life will be extended to 2028 thanks to the addition of the same 2.5-liter Hybrid engine.
X Series: Venturing into High-Performance
In addition to expanding its regular vehicle lineup, Genesis is also venturing into the exclusive sports car vehicle market with the introduction of the X Series, slated for release in 2026 in a small batch (like Hyundai hypercar the N Vision 74). The X Series will offer both a coupe and convertible variants. With agile handling and potent powertrains, this sports car aims to captivate enthusiasts seeking a blend of luxury and spirited performance. Customization options may allow owners to tailor the vehicle to their personal tastes, further enhancing its appeal.
The Supercar: A Production Version for the Gran Berlinetta
Perhaps the most groundbreaking announcement from Genesis is the planned launch of a new supercar before 2030. While details remain closely guarded, this supercar is expected to showcase the pinnacle of Genesis’s engineering capabilities. It may feature a fusion of cutting-edge technologies, including advanced aerodynamics, lightweight materials, and a powerful propulsion system—potentially electric or hybrid—to deliver exceptional speed and handling.
Limited production numbers could make this supercar a rare and exclusive offering, appealing to collectors and aficionados of high-performance vehicles. This supercar has been previewed by Genesis X Gran Berlinetta concept vehicle which by the way is an evolution of the Genesis Essentia concept showcased in 2018.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Genesis’s upcoming vehicles—the GV80 Full Change, G80 Full Change, X Series, and the new supercar—represent a significant stride toward a future where luxury and innovation go hand in hand. These models are not just new cars; they symbolize the brand’s vision and its dedication to providing exceptional experiences for drivers and passengers alike. The automotive world will be watching closely as Genesis brings these exciting concepts to life.
