The Korean luxury brand Genesis lifted its profile significantly this week – revealing its sleek new G80 sedan as well as its first ever SUV the GV80 – both now in showrooms. Firstly, the Genesis G80 sedan, with very individual standalone styling  and with locally developed chassis tune it comes with two power trains, a 2.5-litre turbo four-cylinder rear wheel drive from $84,000 and a 3.5-litre turbo V6 all wheel drive from $99,900. Both have striking and stand-alone styling and as you would expect a stack of luxury comfort, driver support and convenience features. A luxury package option provides rear seat occupants with two adjustable 9.2-inch high definition monitors able to show individual media sources to each screen. As well as five years unlimited kilometre warranty Genesis G80 buyers also get a five year, 50,000 kilometre complimentary service package giving it an edge to rivals like  BMW 5-series and Mercedes Benz E-Class .
