Genesis Sales Data, Trends, Analysis & Current Lineup for the U.S Automotive Market
This is your hub for all of the Genesis sales data for the U.S market. Genesis is the luxury vehicle division of the South Korean vehicle manufacturer, Hyundai. It is a relatively new luxury brand and was created in 2015, just 5 years ago.
Despite being relatively new, Genesis does not shy away when competing against the more established luxury brands in the market such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Lexus. Some of their models like the G80 and G90 were considered to be too anonymous to compete against the offerings from other major luxury brands but they do offer good value when compared to other luxury sedans.
Genesis was launched in the U.S. in late 2016 by introducing their G80 and G90 models. The first dealers of Genesis in the country which also happens to be Hyundai dealers, created a designated space for Genesis cars in the their showrooms to showcase the new models at that time. A year later, Genesis introduced the G70 model to the US market which garnered positive reviews among car critics for being an impressive sports sedan that provides sharp handling and outstanding value for money.
Genesis U.S Sales Figures & Recent Highlights
Even though Genesis are manufactured in South Korea, the brand has enjoyed a strong start in the US despite being new to the market. Sales in 2016 were reportedly around 7,000 vehicles which is considered to be a good start for Genesis, especially if you take into account the number of major luxury brands active in the US.
By 2017, Genesis ramped up their marketing and advertising campaigns for their luxury vehicles. As a result, they managed to sell 20,612 vehicles. Things went downhill for the company in 2018 as their sales drop to about 50% from 2017. In 2019, Genesis somehow managed to recover and sold over 21,000 vehicles, a record for the company so far. Things are looking good so far for the new luxury brand. They even announced that they would be introducing a sports coupe and two crossovers by 2022, bringing the number of Genesis models to six.
In January 2023, Genesis announced that it would be expanding its lineup to include a new electric SUV, the GV60. In February 2023, Genesis announced that it would be opening its first standalone retail location in the United States. In March 2023, Genesis was named the “Best Luxury Brand” by Kelley Blue Book and in April 2023, Genesis was named the “Best Luxury Brand” by MotorTrend. Things are looking good for this relatively new luxury car brand. It has been making waves in the industry with its stylish designs, luxurious interiors, and advanced technology. The brand is poised for continued growth in the years to come.
