How does Genesis describe packages and options?
The Korean company, Hyundai, saw the popularity of the company with its affordable vehicles and decided to try to attract higher-income customers. Thus, they created Hyundai Genesis to compete with Lexus, Audi, Mercedes Benz, and BMW. When looking at packages and options for a Genesis, it’s important to note it is a luxury brand geared towards those with more disposable income.
When naming vehicles, Genesis sticks with “G” to signify the brand name, followed by numbers to signify the model number (usually changes by year).
