Is This The New Hyundai Genesis?

It sure would seem so. Despite the best efforts of our IT crew, the TTAC Staff Robot is unable to read Korean,but we can read the word “Genesis” on this car’s front plate.

If the new car was rather Mercedes-esque in its choice of borrowed styling cues, the new car is a curious mix of elements from both Japan and Germany. There is a vague Audi A7 resemblence, while the Hoffmeister kink is distinctly BMW. But the car could easily be some kind of new Infiniti derivative, especially the front, which looks like the model formerly known as the Infiniti M. No word on powertrains, but this one will have AWD for the first time.

How come the rendering image wasn't included it the post?

From the pictures, it's not doing anything for me. The first generation Genesis was somewhat of a head turner when it first arrived. Sometimes they get it right the first time, and then it's downhill for the future refresh. Too bad. I guess we will have to see it in the flesh.

Jeff I doubt most people care. Care more about their vehicles but after being a loyal gm customer for almost 50 years and having family members all the way back to my grandparents I no longer care. The last gm vehicle I owned was 2 years ago. To me gm can go into the dustbin of history.
Cprescott I'm surprised they didn't move to China. That is who bankrolled their bankruptcy bailout plan.
Analoggrotto You ask as if I should care. Well I don't. Any more questions?
Analoggrotto What the heck are those people doing in front of that house? Just staring at this stupid pos truck?
Jeff Good review but the XLT although not a luxury interior is still a nice place to be. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of headroom. The main downside is the limited availability resulting in dealer markups above MSRP. I have a 2022 hybrid Maverick XLT for over 2 years and it has more than met my expectations. I believe for many who do not need a truck most of the time but want one the Maverick will meet most of their needs.
