Hyundai previews RWD V8 sedan with Concept Genesis

Hyundai is planning to add a new RWD sedan with a V8 drivetrain to its lineup, a car that will be previewed by the Concept Genesis that’s expected to be unveiled at the upcoming New York Auto Show. Heavily disguised test-mules of a large Hyundai sedan have been spotted in both the US and Europe, which is expected to replace the current Equus sedan as its new flagship.

Spy images reveal a car with an up-market interior, woodgrain and leather trim and enough space to rival the large sedans from Germany. The price of the new saloon should start in the low $30,000 range for a base 263hp V6 version powered by the same 3.8L unit found in the Azera sedan.

The new high-end sedan will be Hyundai’s first attempt at creating a true luxury vehicle for export markets and is a key step towards the company’s goal of becoming one of the top five automakers in the world by the end of the decade.
