Korean car brand Genesis has announced it will be ditching petrol and diesel models and going electric and hybrid only in 2025.
The manufacturer – Hyundai’s premium sub-brand – has said it will sell out stocks of its current petrol and diesel models and not replace them.
The firm will launch refreshed versions of the GV60 SUV, as well as electric versions of its GV70 SUV and G80 saloon, throughout 2025. Hybrid versions will be available later.
Jonny Miller, brand director for Genesis Motor UK, said: “We’re committed to responding to customer and market feedback, and we’re confident our transition to an electric range, joined by future hybrid models, is the right direction.”
The refreshed models will receive updated styling and increased electric ranges, but no further details have yet been released.
The car manufacturer will also introduce its “Magma” performance focussed range of vehicles in 2025, starting with the GV60.
These models will get increased power, performance styling kits and sportier interiors. They are designed to rival the likes of BMW’s M models and will bring elements of Hyundai’s performance “N” brand to its premium arm.
Genesis is aiming to become a carbon neutral company by 2035 and believes these changes will help achieve its goal.
