More crossover SUVs are on the way.
Genesis is growing. Today on a sales call with reporters, Chief Operating Officer Erwin Raphael announced an early 2020 debut for the brand's first crossover SUV, the GV80. But while the G80-based crossover will be Genesis's first, it certainly won't be that last. Raphael also confirmed a second, smaller crossover that will join the GV80 towards the tail-end of 2020, or early in 2021.
"We're very excited to introduce the GV80 about 11 months from now. Next May/June," Chief Operating Officer at Genesis, Erwin Raphael, noted in the call. "Then maybe 10 or 11 months after that, a compact crossover SUV built on the G70 platform."
The GV80 will share most of its key components with the G80 sedan. Both rear- and all-wheel-drive layouts should be available, with the crossover possibly borrowing the same naturally aspirated 3.8-liter V6 and twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6 engines as the sedan, with a 5.0-liter V8 possible, but unlikely. If the spy photos and renders of the SUV are any indications, we expect it to look sharp. Read more...
