Genesis is the luxury wing of Hyundai that has already placed itself in the first row of its segment since the time of its grand brand launch. The brand is expanding its expertise in making more variants of luxury vehicles that include both sedans and utility vehicles of different size and abilities.
The recent 2022 model year lineup of Genesis displays a couple of luxury SUVs, namely the GV80 and the GV70. As the names suggest, both the SUV model variants are built on the same platform as that of their corresponding sedan models the G80 and the G70. But as utility vehicles, both the GV70 and GV80 model series offer excellent scope of utility in both while luxury keeps dripping in, enhancing the ride quality for the travelers as well as drive pleasure for the passionate motorists.
