Hyundai Motor's luxurious brand Genesis will release its second model "G80" next month. The Hyundai Genesis will release its latest model G80 at the 2016 Busan International Motor Show, to be held from June 3 to June 12.

As a partially modified version of the Genesis DH, which used to be Hyundai Motor's luxurious model, the G80 is the second model under the Genesis brand preceded by the EQ900 (aka G90), which was released last year.

The G80 will have an improved power-train and convenient functions as well as a "Highway Driving Assist System (HDA)," which is also equipped in the EQ900.

Hyundai Motor plans to have a separate exhibition hall only for the new luxury model at the motor show, in expectation of the G80's raising the brand's profile.

The Hyundai Genesis' plan to enter international markets has also been confirmed. The company will sell G90 and G80 in the U.S. in the third quarter this year and in China and the Middle East later on.
