Genesis, Hyundai's luxury upstart, is taking the premium segment by storm.

The brand has just been rated the most dependable by influential research firm J.D.Power, and it has fresh product in the showroom in the form of the 2020 G90 full-size sedan and 2021 GV80 mid-size SUV, and more is on the way.

Soon, a redesigned G80 mid-size sedan sporting the same handsome look of those earlier models will arrive. Genesis revealed the new G80 late on Sunday and said the car will reach dealers in the second half of 2020, meaning it will likely arrive as a 2021 model.

Underpinning the vehicle is a modified version of the brand-exclusive M3 rear-wheel-drive platform that debuted in the GV80. Thanks to the use of lightweight materials in the platform's construction, particularly aluminum, the new G80 weighs around 243 pounds less than its predecessor.

The use of the M3 platform also means powertrain options in the G80 match those of its SUV sibling. The base option is a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-4 with 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque and above this is a newly developed 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 with 375 hp and 391 lb-ft. A 2.2-liter turbodiesel will be offered outside the United States and further down the track a plug-in hybrid option may also appear. It's something Hyundai design chief Luc Donckerwolke hinted at in 2017.

The interior, too, looks to have been borrowed from the GV80, albeit with some subtle differences like the placing of a few controls. There's also leather, soft-touch surfaces and open pore wood throughout.
