The Hyundai brand was not even mentioned that evening - the official Russian presentation of the Genesis brand took place in Barvikha chamber, solidly and without any reference to the name of the parent company. Koreans in every possible way distance themselves from their mass brands and assure that Genesis is something truly new and completely unique.
Why a new brand is needed
The Koreans made their first attempt to enter the high-end car market in 1999, when they introduced the front-wheel drive sedan Equus (in Europe - Centennial) 5.1 m long with V6 and V8 engines. The car was created in collaboration with Mitsubishi and was positioned on domestic market as a competitor Mercedes-Benz S-class and "sevens" BMW. However, it was only ten years later that it was possible to truly enter the prestigious segment with a rear-wheel drive model of the second generation. own design. Even then, in some markets, Koreans began to sell a sedan under the Equus brand without mentioning Hyundai. Almost simultaneously, a rear-wheel drive business sedan entered the market Hyundai Genesis who had to fight already Mercedes-Benz E-class and BMW 5 Series. In 2013, Genesis changed generations, and soon it was decided to finally separate luxury models into a separate brand so as not to confuse customers with the mention of the Hyundai mass brand. Instead of Equus, the Koreans chose the more sonorous Genesis as the brand name, and the models themselves were given alphanumeric indices in the manner Infiniti cars. In autumn 2015, Genesis Motors was spun off from Hyundai Motors.Who is responsible for the styling and development of cars
In January 2016, the American Manfred Fitzgerald, the former director of design and development of the Lamborghini brand, became the head of the Genesis brand. As Senior Vice President, he is responsible for the development and implementation of brand strategy and marketing policy.The brand's stylist is the famous Dutchman Luc Donkerwolke, who for many years was the chief designer of various departments of the Volkswagen Group. He worked on appearance Skoda Octavia and Fabia of the first generations, and also painted the current Seat Ibiza. He also had a hand in the style of almost all Lamborghini models from Diablo to Murcielago and Gallardo, painted Bentley Flying Spur and Bentayga. Since the beginning of 2016, Donkerwolke has been working in the same team with Hyundai-Kia Design Chief Peter Schreyer.
Finally, for technical part German Albert Birman, who has been head of the Testing and Development Department for High-Performance Vehicles at Hyundai Motor Group, is in charge since the spring of 2015. Previously, the specialist was vice president of BMW M and BMW Individual, where he was mainly involved in the development of sports models.
What models will be produced under the Genesis brand
The first Genesis car and the flagship of the brand officially became the G90 sedan - in fact, the third generation Equus, the world premiere of which took place in January in Detroit, and the Russian premiere on September 22 in Barvikha. Next, the G80 business sedan, the successor to the Hyundai Genesis, which has already been shown at the auto show in Busan, South Korea, will enter our market. Next year, the Koreans will introduce the G70 sports sedan, which will enter the segment Mercedes-Benz C-class and BMW 3 Series. Finally, by 2020, two crossovers and a sports coupe will be presented under the Genesis brand - a total of six models with rear-wheel drive architecture and V-engines or compact turbo engines.Can the flagship G90 compete with German sedans
In addition to the dimensions and spaciousness in the cabin, the flagship sedan has a completely modern chassis, a lot of service electronics and electric drives of everything and everything. The media system is controlled by a puck on the tunnel, next to it there are two sites for wireless charging of phones. Behind there are individual monitors and remote controls for the media system and air conditioner. Finally, instead of a solid rear sofa, you can order a version with separate seats.There will be two engines. First, the new turbo engine V6 3.3 T-GDI with 370 Horse power. Secondly, a 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 with 425 hp, which will serve as the flagship. Drive - rear or full. But the G90 will not have air suspension even for a surcharge. The Koreans claim that the refusal of pneumatic elements is due to reliability considerations and the desire to keep prices.
Will there be longer versions?
As with the Equus, the G90 is available in a long wheelbase with a 290mm insert. According to statistics, in Russia, up to 3% of sold Equus sedans were sold in the long-wheelbase version, so the long G90 will also be brought to us. At the same time, the Korean Pullman will be offered only in maximum configuration and only with a five-liter V8 engine, all-wheel drive transmission and separate rear seats with electric adjustments and ottomans - retractable footrests.What is known about the G80 sedan
The new business sedan is the fruit of a thorough redesign of the second-generation Hyundai Genesis, which received a more aggressive design and a retuned suspension. The sedan is equipped with a 3.8-liter gasoline engine V6. Motor power is 315 horsepower. In addition, the novelty will be offered in a "charged" Sport modification. This version was equipped with a 3.3-liter turbocharged engine. Engine power is 370 hp. and 510 Nm of torque. The drive is rear or full, the gearbox is an eight-speed automatic. Finally, customers will be offered an adaptive suspension with electronically controlled dampers.What is known about the G70 sedan
The prototype of the New York Concept, presented at the New York Auto Show, hints at what the production G70 will look like. The appearance of the model is made in the style of last year's Vision G prototype and largely corresponds to the appearance of the flagship Genesis G90 sedan. The prototype was equipped with a hybrid power plant with a total power of 245 hp. with a two-liter turbo engine and an eight-speed "automatic". production model, most likely, will receive four-cylinder turbo engines, as well as a “charged” modification, the development of which will be carried out by the N Performance division. hallmark cabin prototype steel 21-inch display connecting dashboard and a multimedia system screen, as well as a touchpad for controlling all on-board electronics.Ivan Ananiev

History of the Genesis brand / Genesis
After several years of competing for the premium segment of the car market, the South Korean company Hyundai has decided to create its own independent sub-brand called Genesis. New marque, as well as Toyota's luxury Lexus division or Nissan's sister Infinity brand, carries the ideology of technical excellence, and its cars are intended mainly for demanding, promising and wealthy individuals with an ambitious character. According to the company, the Genesis brand is completely focused on the needs of customers who want to get the maximum comfort, safety, multimedia capabilities, technical innovation and at the same time be stylish. In the long term, Genesis plans to market its vehicles through separate, independent channels unrelated to dealer centers Hyundai.
As of 2016, the Genesis model line consists of two premium sedans: the flagship G90 (in terms of class, this car is comparable to the Stuttgart S-class, the BMW seven and the Audi A8) and the mid-size G80. The appearance of these cars was developed under the direction of chief designer Peter Schreyer, who displayed incredibly elegant lines and emphasized the proportions characteristic of premium sedans with a long hood and short overhangs. With the launch of the luxury brand Genesis, Hyundai symmetrically leaves its lineup without 2 top premium cars - Hyundai Equus (now this car is sold as the Genesis G90) and the Genesis model of the same name (G80). Mainly Genesis cars are designed for buyers from the United States, Canada, Russia, the Gulf countries and Korea. In the future, it is planned to expand the sales market.
The Russian market for Genesis is one of the priorities. In autumn 2016, the company launches official Russian sales of its G90 sedan and opens a production line for this model in Kaliningrad. According to the manufacturer, the Genesis G90 is based on a high-strength body made of alloys with increased rigidity and low weight. The car is equipped with an innovative adaptive suspension and HTRAC all-wheel drive system. Starting from the basic version, the sedan is equipped with 9 airbags, a premium audio system, a rear-view camera and other advanced electronics. The top version of the model, built on an extended base, is distinguished by separate rear seats and an extended list of options. In 2017, the junior model Genesis G70 is released, which stands out from other sedans with a pronounced sporty appearance.
The official debut of the genesis g80 2019 executive sedan took place this spring at the Shanghai Motor Show. Hyundai car designed to impose a fight on the German mid-size E-class models. And recently the car appeared on the Russian market.

Who is the manufacturer of Genesis G80?
The Genesis brand appeared on the automotive horizon relatively recently. And the answer to the question - who is the manufacturer of these cars for many drivers is still unknown. In fact, the manufacturer of luxury sedans is the Korean company Hyundai. Her cars are known all over the world, but for the most part they are perceived by buyers as good, reliable, but fairly budget cars.
They decided to raise their status through drastic measures and rebranding. At first, the model was produced as a Hyundai Genesis g 80 2019 2020, but after that the brand got rid of the initial prefix, acquired its own name and winged emblem.
New body design
The description of the exterior of the genesis ji 80 will be positive. Designers sought to create a presentable and solid car. And the model really looks stylish. At the same time, the corporate style is traced.
The powerful Hyundai front bumper lip and the radiator grille, lined with horizontal chrome stripes, hint at the impressive power of the engine. And the elegant headlamps, reminiscent of luxury Mercedes models and fashionable LED running light strips, create a harmonious and complete image of the front end.

The swift profile noticeably hides the rather large dimensions of g 80, leaving the impression of a really fast car. Powerful wheel arches, 18-inch alloy wheels are already stock, a sloping roofline.
Effectively crowns the picture of the rear with a small trunk, decorated with a winged logo, nice brake lights and the number eighty in the right corner of the trunk. And from under the muscular rear bumper twin exhaust pipes peek out.
In addition, the car received a good color palette. Buyers will be prompted to choose one of the following options:
- carbon gray;
- cloudy blue;
- ice gray;
- black opal;
- deep brown;

Overall dimensions of new items
Salon Genesis G 80 2020
Hyundai developers meticulously worked on the interior of genesis. Pleasant to the touch skin, soft plastic at hand, nice little things and innovations. Among the nice features is the non-fixable selector automatic box gears, as well as aluminum lining on the door cards and cockpit, well-shaped seats. Everything is pleasant and beautiful, but in comparison with direct German competitors, it is still a little budgetary.

However, the driving position is quite comfortable, besides, optionally all seats, including the second row, can have electrical adjustments, heating and ventilation (see photo of the interior). There is plenty of legroom for second-row passengers. Rich equipment can count on panoramic roof, which will add space in the cabin. But with a trunk of 493 liters, you won’t surprise any of your classmates anymore - this is a fairly average figure.
multimedia innovation
The equipment of the genesis g80 2019 car can be considered worthy. The model has multi-zone climate control, an optional adaptive suspension, an advanced multimedia system with navigation and a good 8 or 9.2-inch screen. 
True, the management can not be called intuitive. Radio control has been made quite confusing, as is access to many popular functions. Navigation is also sometimes "stupid". In addition, it is not clear when the new genesis g80 will acquire maps of Russia. Most likely, it will depend on how many cars will be sold.
Security systems
But there are really a lot of security systems in the genesis car. There is an all-round video camera, a blind spot monitoring system, an emergency braking program, adaptive cruise control, tracking lane markings and lane movements, and a parking assistant. And if an accident is still inevitable, then nine airbags will do everything to keep people in the car safe.
Technologies of the future
The latest technology somewhat levels the thoughtfulness of Genesis navigation. After all, the multimedia system can be friends with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Then it will be possible to control navigation and other functions through the phone.

Options and prices in Russia
The configurations and prices for the g80 2019 are already known. The minimum cost of the basic configuration "business" will amount to 2,550,000 rubles. The price of the "Luxury" configuration reaches 3.5-4 million rubles. 
In 2008, the South Korean company Hyundai introduced a new product to the world - the Genesis car. In short, this is a business class car, which is characterized as a premium sports sedan. True, a coupe was also created on this basis. Since 2014, a new generation of this model has been produced, and that's exactly what I would like to talk about.
Design
The Genesis was a good car from the start. But technology does not stand still, because the new models that have been produced since 2014 have become even more modern and perfect. First of all, specialists improved the strength of the body - and all thanks to an increase in the proportion of high-strength steel (used in the structure) to 51.5 percent. Due to this, control and noise isolation have improved. After all, this material muffles even the slightest vibrations. By the way, I would like to tell you more about this. Noise and vibration isolation in this model is maximum - even the noise of the engine and the road is almost inaudible. And all thanks to the partition, which the developers placed in engine compartment. And, of course, much has been achieved through the use of effective
Engine
Now it’s worth talking about what kind of power unit the Genesis Hyundai car is equipped with. The first option offered is 3.8 GDI with D-CVVT system. it modern motor, with a power of 315 horsepower (at 6000 rpm) and a maximum torque of 397 Nm (rpm: 5000 per minute).
There is another engine - 3.0 GDI. In everything but torque, volume and horsepower, it is identical to the aforementioned. By the way, its power is 249 hp. With.
Specifications
Engines work in tandem with an 8-speed “automatic”. It was already possible to understand that Genesis is a car in which the developers of the concern have implemented a lot technological advances. To name but a few: a hydraulic torque converter, a solenoid valve block (equipped with a direct control function), an improved aluminum gearbox housing, and integrated wiring and sensors.
The multi-link suspension with electronic control system (ECS) is also worth noting. Thanks to this design, the degree of depreciation is regulated. And it depends on the driving mode and road conditions. In addition, the ECS system ensures maximum driving comfort. By the way, there are three modes - normal, eco and for driving in the snow.
Control
The Genesis car boasts many more advantages, in addition to powerful engine. Special attention should be noted rack steering equipped with an electronic amplifier. This system is remarkably stable and responsive. Driving a car has never been easier. Moreover, this system reduces fuel consumption by almost three percent. This is the advantage of an electronic booster over hydraulics.
Learn more about the principles of operation. With a small steering angle, the wheels turn very slowly and smoothly. If the angle is increased, then the effect will be appropriate. That is, the wheels will turn much faster and sharper. Therefore, driving a car brings the driver only pleasure - both when parking and when driving at high speeds.
And by the way, due to the rear-wheel drive layout, the mass of the car is distributed in the most practical and optimal way. This also plays a role.
Salon
Naturally, a few words should be said about the interior. The Genesis car looks luxurious both outside and inside. Immediately striking is the large display and laconic horizontal layout. The switches are very practical - this ensures the most comfortable control, since you do not need to be distracted by anything. In order from bottom to top, an analog clock is placed, and then a monitor, climate control and a multimedia system. Everything looks very concise, harmonious and stylish. As an option, by the way, it is offered with a sunroof. This is a kind of highlight of the Genesis model.
The car, the photo of which is provided above, is good in every way. Its interior is magnificent, because in the process of finishing only high-quality expensive materials were used. By the way, the chairs are offered in several versions (you can choose the skin of the color that you like more). Even in the cabin, natural wood and aluminum trim parts were used. Everything in the interior of this car is thought out - even the (front) PSV Genesis look very stylish and modern.
And the interior is decorated with details such as illuminated door sills and an overhead console.
Optics
The Genesis Coupe (like the sedan) features high-quality modern optics. Xenon headlights with built-in LEDs for daytime running are installed ahead. They provide very bright and precise illumination. And besides, this optics is very economical! It consumes a minimum of energy. Even when the car approaches another car, the intelligent high beam system automatically switches to low beam. There are also LEDs on the back. By the way, the optics have a very stylish shape. The headlights perfectly emphasize the sophisticated look of the car. This is clearly demonstrated by the photos presented above.
Options
Potential buyers are also offered the option of electric door closers. These are sensors integrated into the door locks, thanks to which miniature electronic motors. In other words, these devices completely close the doors (in the event that those leaving the car did not completely cover them).
Another option is the automatic opening of the tailgate. In the event that the owner stands behind the car with a smart key for more than 3 seconds, then the trunk ... opens by itself. Very modern and convenient feature. After all, the driver in this case does not have to put his luggage on the ground and then pick it up again.
LED fog lights are also available as an option. Their light can penetrate very dense, seemingly impenetrable fog. And it is worth ordering this option - for security reasons.
And one more option is the AEB system. Or, in other words, autonomous emergency braking. Required function. If the system notices that the distance of the vehicle has suddenly been reduced to the vehicle in front, it immediately reacts by applying the brakes. This happens due to the constant reading of the radiator signal (the SCC system works here - cruise control), as well as the analysis of the image coming from a camera equipped with a road marking tracking system. In general, it is desirable to order such an option.
Exterior
What can you tell about Genesis? The Hyundai car brand has always been famous for the attractiveness of its cars. And if ordinary sedans look pretty, then what can we say about such a premium model as the Genesis.
Attracts attention Very interesting form. Buyers are also offered either a silver color with chrome or black. An elegant emblem flaunts on the hood, emphasizing the exclusive appearance of the new Hyundai.
The repeaters of the “turn signals” placed on the A rear emit a red bright light, making the car much more noticeable. Due to this, the car becomes more visible in the fog, and in snowy or rainy weather.
Another highlight is the antenna, made in the shape of a shark's fin. A practical detail can be considered the illumination of the space around the door. It is activated at the moment when the Genesis approaches another car. This feature makes it easier to open the door.
And finally, disks. Light alloy, stylish… There are three options: 17, 18, and 19 inches.
Safety
Another important topic that cannot be ignored when talking about the Genesis car. The Hyundai emblem itself is a definition of safety and quality. And it really is.
"Genesis" is equipped with nine airbags. There are rear, front, knee and even curtains. Protection from all sides, in other words.
There are also belts with the Pre-Safe Belt system. True, this is an option. But smart belts are worth ordering. Indeed, in the event of an accident, the pretensioners are activated, the person is “fixed” in the seat as tightly as possible.
well developed and active system protecting pedestrians in case of an accident. The hood cover absorbs impact - it rises, and even if a collision occurs, the person's head is damaged the least.
And as an addition, there is HTRAC. Or, in other words, intelligent all-wheel drive. It is activated if the machine notices bumps or slippery pavement. In this case, the front axle of the car is simply connected, the control becomes simpler and safer.
Modern equipment
The Genesis car, the characteristics of which were described in great detail above, has a very rich package. Take, for example, the concept of intuitive control. Thanks to her, a person drives a car without thinking. The interface is very simple, it combines everything: wheel, dashboard, as well as seat adjustment and center console.
The car also has a surround view system, three-zone climate control, power seats (equipped with built-in memory for 2 drivers), a premium audio system and a color projection display located on windshield. Plus, there is Information system for the driver.
But that's not all. Useful features also include an electromechanical “handbrake”, parking sensors, a ventilation system for seats (there is also heating), as well as a key card and a rain sensor. In general, as you can see, Genesis has everything you might need. And that's what it does this car so popular and in demand.
Price
The new Genesis model will cost about 2,330,000 rubles. The cost may differ depending on which salon a person plans to purchase a car. By the way, if you want to save money, you can look for second-hand options. The car will be in excellent, almost new condition, but with mileage, and for this a solid discount is usually given from the previous owner. So, for example, a 2014 model with a mileage of 36,000 kilometers can be purchased for just one and a half million rubles. And this, compared to the original price, is very cheap.
The first generation, however, will cost even less. Approximately 700 thousand rubles. But there the engine is weaker (2.0, 213 hp), and the equipment is more modest. In general, it is up to the person who wants to buy a car to decide.
In the spring of 2014, sales of a new generation of the Hyundai Genesis business class sedan started in Russia, the world premiere of which took place last fall. The predecessor of "Genesis" did not achieve great success in our country, but, according to the Koreans, the "updated" sedan is ready to make a second attempt, which will certainly be successful.
Of course, the second-generation three-volume vehicle had much more chances, in comparison with its predecessor - a solid appearance “without kinks”, very good equipment and the level of its performance ... in addition, its price at the start of sales did not exceed 3 million rubles (i.e. it did not fall under the concept of "luxury" and, accordingly, he was not threatened with additional taxation) ... only now the "next round of the crisis" spoiled the "atmosphere". Be that as it may, the "second" actually became more successful than the "first", but let's get back to the review of this car ...
The “transformation” of the Hyundai Genesis, the Koreans, of course, began with the appearance. The novelty received a more status look, created within the framework of the design concept "Flowing Lines 2.0" and differing from its predecessor in increased dynamism with the simultaneous presence of elegant softness of lines, which gives the exterior of the novelty a kind of zest.
In terms of dimensions, the new Genesis is almost identical to the first generation car, but at the same time, the Koreans managed to increase the wheelbase by 75 mm. If we talk about the exact dimensions, then the length of the Genesis body of the second generation is 4990 mm, mentioned above wheelbase is equal to 3010 mm, the width, excluding mirrors, fits into the framework of 1890 mm, and the height is limited to 1480 mm. Track width front and rear wheels respectively equal to 1620 and 1633 mm.
The curb weight of the novelty ranges from 1965 kg to 2055 kg and depends on the trim level.
In terms of ground clearance- the car was adapted "for Russian conditions", as a result - only the "Sport" modification remained "native clearance" of 130 mm, for the rest, the ride height: 155 mm - for the rear-wheel drive version of the sedan, for the all-wheel drive Genesis the clearance is "reduced" up to 150 mm.
In the "second" Hyundai Genesis, the Koreans used a much larger amount of high-strength steels in the production of body panels and elements, bringing their share to 51.5% of the total volume of materials. In addition, laser welding and hot stamping are now more commonly used in the assembly process. All this made it possible to significantly increase the rigidity of the body structure, which became 16% stiffer in torsion and 40% stiffer in bending.
It is also worth saying that new body Hyundai Genesis is much more aerodynamic than its predecessor. Korean engineers managed to reduce its aerodynamic drag coefficient to a value of 0.26 Cx, which ultimately contributed to a noticeable decrease in fuel consumption and an increase in dynamic characteristics car.
According to the Koreans, the salon new Hyundai Genesis is the most spacious in the class. This is especially felt in the back row, where almost the entire growth of the wheelbase has been added to the legs. If we add to this the high comfort of the seats, it becomes clear that the new Genesis really seriously expects to compete for the buyer even with the German giants.
No one should have any complaints about interior decoration, since the Koreans preferred to use only high-quality materials, including genuine leather, wood, aluminum and expensive fabrics.
Some European critics did not like the "horizontal" layout of the front panel (display - climate - multimedia), which they considered too strict in terms of design, but the Koreans explained the choice of such a solution solely by caring for the driver, since the panel represents part of the new concept of intuitive control (HMI), which also includes a multifunctional steering wheel, instrument panel, head-up display and center console.
In general, the cabin of the second generation of the Hyundai Genesis sedan has excellent ergonomics, boasts excellent build quality and premium equipment, especially in top trim levels.
Quite good at Genesis and trunk, capable of accommodating up to 493 liters of cargo.
In the Russian expanses, the second generation Hyundai Genesis is offered with two options power plant family "Lambda":
- As a junior engine, the Koreans offer a V-shaped 6-cylinder gasoline unit with a direct fuel injection system, a variable valve timing system and a 24-valve timing mechanism. The working volume of the younger engine is 3.0 liters (2999 cm³), which gives it the ability to develop up to 249 hp. maximum power at 6000 rpm. peak torque given power unit falls at around 304 Nm, which are achieved at 5000 rpm.
