Slow-selling 3 Series and X5 rivals retired after just three years in UK – but could return with hybrid power
Genesis has pulled its G70 saloon and GV80 SUV from the UK market, with no plans to bring them back to the market in their current ICE forms. The cars have also been removed from sale in Europe, although they remain available to configure in Asia and the US. Both cars struggled for sales: Genesis delivered only around 200 examples of each in the UK since they launched three years ago, while BMW sold some 25,000 examples of the GV80’s X5 rival and 67,000 of the G70-sized 3 Series.
“We plan to release hybrid models as we continue our journey towards full electrification. "Further details regarding upcoming hybrid powertrains from Genesis will be announced at a later date.” Genesis has struggled to generate traction since it arrived in the UK in 2021. According to figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders , it sold just 649 cars between January and July this year, down 23.7% on the same period in 2023.
