Genesis pledged to only launch EVs starting in 2025, but it has backpedaled and instead rushing to launch its first hybrid models as quickly as possible.
Corroborating an earlier report, Genesis confirmed it's developing hybrid technology it plans to roll out across its range. The brand initially detoured gasoline-electric drivetrains to focus on EVs, but it realized its target audience is more open to going hybrid than to going electric. Speaking to Top Gear, company boss Mike Song confirmed the move on the sidelines of the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Although it's not official, the aforementioned report sheds light on what the first hybrid Genesis could be powered by. Development work reportedly started in 2023, and the system is allegedly built around a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. It's likely not a plug-in system; it's either a 48-volt mild-hybrid setup or a standard hybrid drivetrain. It's too early to tell whether Genesis will ultimately offer different hybrid systems.
