genesis g80

The new 2021 Genesis G80 has gone on sale in its home market of South Korea, less than a month after it was unveiled globally. Details on Australian models due in local showrooms by the end of this year are yet to be released, however new information out of South Korea sheds some light on what might be available here.

Genesis, luxury subsidiary of Hyundai, won't be arriving in Australia until at least the fourth quarter of 2018 – after previously being scheduled for the third quarter. Public relations manager for Hyundai Australia, Guido Schenken, confirmed the news this week, meaning we won't see the G70 (top) or G80 (formerly Hyundai Genesis) until very late this year. Unfortunately, the brand's PR manager was unable to cite any official reasons for the delay.

UPDATE, 20/02/2018: Kia has officially unveiled the K900. Check it out here! The new-generationKia K900 has been revealed in a leaked Korean brochure this week, accompanied by preliminary specifications for the Korean flagship. In terms of design, the K900 stays true to the teaser sketches released over the past few weeks, representing a pretty substantial overhaul from the ageing exterior of the outgoing version.
