Yahoo Autos Genesis remains committed to sedans, wants coupes and convertibles
If turned into a production model, the GV80 Coupe concept that Genesis unveiled at the 2023 New York auto show will be the brand's fourth entry into the crossover segment. High-riding models are in hot demand globally, but the Hyundai-owned company isn't giving up on sedans.
"It's a mistake to basically write off a typology of a vehicle," Genesis design boss Luc Donckerwolke told Australian website CarExpert. "I don't want to have a monoculture of SUVs on the street. I love SUVs, from the rugged ones to the sporty ones, but that's not it," he added.
While he stopped short of announcing the imminent arrival of new sedans, Genesis has previously confirmed that it's open to branching out into the city car segment in Europe. The model would likely be electric, and it could draw inspiration from the Mint concept introduced at the 2019 edition of the New York auto show. Nothing suggests a small, entry-level model would be sold in the United States, however.
