The Genesis lineup currently consists of the G80 and
G90 but what the brand really needs is crossovers. Consumers can't get enough
of the high-riding vehicles and Genesis is painfully aware of this fact.
However, help is coming as the automaker has already confirmed plans to launch
two new crossovers.
The upcoming models might not be enough to satisfy
demand as Automotive News is reporting the company is now working on a third
crossover. Little is known about the model but the publication notes the
vehicle was added to Genesis' product roadmap which was shown to reporters in
South Korea.
Executives declined to talk about the vehicle but
speculation suggests it will be a compact crossover that will slot beneath the
GV70 and GV80. The latter two models will arrive around 2020, while the third
crossover is slated to be launched in 2021.
Besides revealing the existence of an additional
crossover, the latest product roadmap confirmed the entry-level G70 sedan will
arrive later this year. The map also revealed a handful of exciting
developments around 2021 including a redesigned G90 and a "sport"
model which is likely the successor to the Genesis Coupe.
