Hyundai launched its global luxury sub-brand 'Genesis' in November last year (link to news article). While the Genesis G90 and G80 luxury sedans are on their way to target markets like Korea, China, North America and the Middle-East, Hyundai India has been showcasing the Hyundai Genesis (predecessor to the G80) at many events all over the country. Following showcases at events like the 2014 Autocar Performance Show and 2016 Delhi Auto Expo, the Hyundai Genesis has been spotted in Bangalore.

The Hyundai Genesis displayed at the 2016 Auto Expo was powered by the 3.8-litre, V6 GDI petrol engine that makes 311 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 397 Nm of torque @ 5,000 rpm. Length x width x height x wheelbase dimensions come in at 4,990 mm x 1,890 mm x 1,480 mm x 3,010 mm. The feature list on the car includes a power tilt-and-slide panoramic sunroof, a rake and reach adjustable steering wheel, auto-dimming wing mirrors, a Lexicon 14-speaker (optional 17-speaker) sound system, ventilated front seats, power rear sunshade and manual rear side shades, LED fog lights and a full-colour heads-up display.

Driver assistance / safety features include blind spot detection / rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking and high-beam assist.

If launched in India the car will rival the Audi A6, BMW 5-Series and Mercedes E-Class, though an official launch confirmation has yet to come through.
