A new report claims Hyundai has trademarked the “GT” designation for its Genesis luxury brand.
GT,” of course, is a well-known moniker, used for sporty trim levels by brands across the automotive industry. Ford offers a Mustang GT, for example, and Hyundai itself has just launched the Elantra GT. “GT” usually, but not always, stands for Grand Touring.
Genesis Nomenclature
Then there’s the matter of how the Genesis brand names its cars. Anything with a “G” in front of the number (such as G80) is a car, if it has a “GV” designation, it’s a crossover and/or SUV (the “v” stands for versatility, by the way). The number itself denotes size and cost, with the higher number correlating with larger, more expensive vehicles.
