Latest luxury brand to take on Lexus hybrids revealed

AutoExec Summary

Genesis has announced plans to introduce hybrid models to complement its existing combustion and electric options, responding to shifting market demands. The brand aims to integrate hybrid powertrains into various models, with the first Genesis hybrid expected in 2025. This shift follows a previously stated goal to transition entirely to EVs by 2030. Potential hybrid models include the GV70, GV80, and possibly the G80, featuring a 2.5-litre petrol engine combined with electric motors. Despite this pivot, Genesis maintains its long-term focus on electrification and has not indicated a delay in its EV-only strategy.
