Featuring similar lines to the G90 and G80, the Genesis New York Concept previews a possible design direction for the production G70 that will take on the BMW 3-Series and other cars in the segment.

However, the South Korean automaker is not keen on revealing its future plans yet and it focuses on the exterior design of its newest study, described using words like "luxurious" and "modern", wrapped up in the "Athletic Elegance" design direction, previewed on the Vision G Concept.

Finished in a custom Ceramic Blue color, its overall shape is characterized by the long hood, prominent upright grille supported by horizontal headlamps, pronounced front fenders, short front overhangs, longer rear overhangs, low and sleek rear deck and slim elongated taillights.

Genesis states that the New York's cabin offers an advanced information control unit, with a distinctively curved display, a 21-inch floating, curved screen, made by LG, with a 4K display that incorporates driver instruments and multimedia functions, classic analog driver instruments and open steering wheel design.

The interior has been fully wrapped in leather, with accents of anthracite contrasted by rich tan leather on the doors and seats and sliced suede leather on the headrest. Copper accents and aluminum inlays have been also used inside, while the Human Machine Interface (HMI) concept "sets a new standard for user experience and function control".

Genesis didn't have much to say on the study's hybrid powertrain, except that it uses a 2.0 GDi engine, coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission, for a total system output of 242 HP (245 PS) and 260 lb-ft (353 Nm).

Correct
G90 is their flagship.
G80 is a rebadge of the current Genesis sedan.

Around here there are probably 1,000 Genesis sedans for every coupe on the road. They are bloody well everywhere. It is a pile of car for the money really if you are into quasi luxury sedans.

Yep can't argue with their bargain pricing. Love or hate the car it's a lot of car for the money, which is why they started doing so well.

Literally never seen one. Unless I've been mistaking them for the Chrysler 300 this whole time

I've only seen the 1st gen Genesis sedan a couple times. Very very nice design but I just don't know if I should even consider one....yet lol.

In the Houston area I have seen a few of the 1st gen sedans, and only a hand full of the 2nd gen. But there are tons of the coupes driving around town.

I have yet to seen one Equus on the road. Not surprising because their sales have been pretty low over the years.

2015: 2,332

I don't know if it is the winged badge, but the car reminds me of an Aston Martin...like it got it on with an Audi A7.

....haha they want to sell that? Version 1 and 2 have failed of the Genesis..3 will fail too unless they go after FI with well balance weight, comfort and performance.
