Just on the heels of its new GV80 SUV, Genesis is now showing a new version of the closely related G80 sedan. These initial photos show a dramatic redesign for the luxury four-door, which will continue to occupy the mid-size position of the brand's lineup between the G70 and G90.
The outgoing G80 initially started life as the second-generation Hyundai Genesis but was rebadged upon the creation of the standalone Genesis luxury brand. The new model looks like it will make a significant jump upmarket, as evidenced by its bold exterior styling that incorporates the Genesis brand's signature pentagonal grille and similar headlights and taillights as the GV80. The interior also looks rich, with high-quality leather and wood and a large 14.5-inch central display screen.
Genesis says it will share more details this month as the car prepares to go on sale in Korea. As for its arrival in the U.S., we'd expect it to hit dealerships by the end of 2020, following the launch of the GV80 by a few months.
