About Genesis
Genesis was split from Hyundai in 2015 as a separate luxury marque, following the same logic that produced Lexus twenty-six years earlier. It sells through its own showrooms in most markets to keep distance from the parent badge. Its designs come from a studio led by former Bentley and Lamborghini staff, and the brand has won major design awards within a few years of launching.
