New premium brand Genesis has announced its new BMW 5 Series-rivalling G80 saloon will cost from £37,460 when it arrives in the UK this summer.
This secures customers a 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel automatic, in Premium Line grade, driving the rear wheels.
The alternative all-wheel drive 2.5-litre turbo petrol costs £43,150.
Those who want more equipment can choose Luxury Line grade, costing £42,260 and £47,950 respectively.
Prices for the new Genesis GV80 large SUV, a rival to the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE, have also been announced.
Here, eight models are offered, in either Premium Line or Luxury Line spec, with five or seven seats, and a choice of 3.0-litre turbodiesel or the 2.5-litre turbo petrol – both engines come with all-wheel drive.
The GV80 SUV starts from £56,815 for the 3.0-litre diesel Premium Line five-seater.
The first two Genesis coming to the UK “are the two flagship models that have been carefully selected to introduce the Genesis brand to our UK customers,” said Genesis Motor Europe MD Dominique Boesch.
“Both models show the ‘Genesis difference’,” he promised: “Customers can expect to be impressed not only but the design and safety of the vehicles, but also by our service offering which provides convenience and total peace of mind afforded by our Five-Year Care Plan.”
Following the range-topping G80 and GV80, Genesis will introduce a BMW 3 Series-sized G70 saloon later in 2021 – and the firm recently revealed this car will be offered a European-specific shooting brake version.
