2021 Genesis G80 electric car and 'JW' electric SUV spy photos
…
A fully-electric Genesis G80 sedan has been seen testing near the Nurburgring circuit in Germany, with the new variant expected to enter as a rival to the ageing Tesla Model S in the coming months.
The spy shots show a camouflaged new-generation Genesis G80 with a closed-off front 'crest' grille. Electric vehicles do not require cooling in the same fashion as traditional combustion engines, so large front openings are sealed to improve aerodynamics.

The company describes its large sedan as "sophisticated and stately", with a new grille containing 176 individual jewel-like cells.
Apparently, it's designed to be "suggestive of released energy flowing away from its centre" but, to our eyes, it looks remarkably similar in concept to the Diamond Grille debuted on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
