Genesis' first crossover a year away

In 2022, Genesis plans to have a stand-alone network of dealers and a sufficiently diverse lineup of vehicles for them to sell as it seeks to take its place alongside the industry's leading luxury marques.

By then, the upscale challenger could have three crossovers to balance a product menu that has been carried by sedans that are highly rated but have struggled to build sales momentum in a truck-dominated market. The brand also is looking to extend a hand to the eco-conscious with electrified offerings from two dedicated EV platforms.

GV80: Genesis unveiled the GV80 concept as a fuel cell vehicle at the 2017 New York auto show. It's slated to be the first crossover added to the brand's utility-starved lineup. Global brand chief Manfred Fitzgerald told Automotive News in March that the three-row crossover could come at the end of 2019 or early 2020. Fuel cell or plug-in hybrid versions could be in store.

AN seems to have overlooked the GT70 coupe.

In all likelihood, will see at least a 4th CUV, this one being a BEV.
