The LWB Genesis will replace the current Equus JS 380 in its domestic market, but there are no plans to bring the car to the U.S. or other global markets. Speaking with Jalopnik, Hyundai R&D chief Dr. Hyun-Soon also said there were no plans for future derivatives of the Geneses RWD platform such as a rumored crossover and wagon variant.
The regular Genesis sedan (pictured) went on sale in South Korea in December and is scheduled to appear in the U.S. by the middle of the year. Hyundai’s new Genesis coupe, meanwhile, will go on sale in South Korea this September and is expected to reach North American shores until early next year.
