现代捷恩斯旗下轿车系列包括G70/80/90三款车型，分别定位于不同的市场，但对于这个品牌而言，仅有轿车是远远不够的。现代已经推出了两款SUV，目前正在开发捷恩斯SUV，最近谍照记者就首次拍到了正在瑞典进行雪地测试的新车。现在还无法确定该车是否就是即将发布的GV80全尺寸SUV或GV70中级SUV,但目前看前者的可能性更大一些。不要被该车现代SUV的车身所迷惑，这实际是一辆捷恩斯SUV，它的轴距明显比胜达更长。该车可能搭载了一台3.5升V6引擎，搭配全轮驱动和八速自动变速器，从车辆侧后窗的小标签上也可以读到，测试车拥有车身稳定管理系统以及上坡控制系统。当然，这些配置对于这一级别的车型而言是理所应当的。至于新车的命名，目前还没有确定这辆测试车会是哪一款，而按照捷恩斯的计划，未来将会推出GV60、GV70甚至是GV80三款产品。而除了SUV之外，未来捷恩斯品牌还将推出高性能的后置后驱跑车。
Genesis SUV Test Mule Spied For The First Time
Genesis’ current lineup includes three sedan models – the G70, G80, and G90, positioned in three different segments, but that’s definitely not enough to make the new premium brand successful. Hyundai knows that pretty well and has approved the production of two SUVs with a third one probably also arriving early next decade.
Attached in the gallery here are the first spy photos of a future large SUV from the South Korean luxury brand. We can’t confirm whether this is the upcoming GV80 fullsize SUV or the GV70 midsize SUV, but we are leaning towards the former. Don’t let the Hyundai body fool you, this is a Genesis SUV mule with significantly longer wheelbase than the Santa Fe.
Photographed somewhere in snowy Sweden, the vehicle is probably powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine, sending power to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox, judging by the label on a small note on the rear left side window. Apparently, the SUV also features vehicle stability management (VSM) and hill assist control (HAC), but this shouldn’t come as a surprise given its premium ambitions.
If you ignore the Hyundai badge and the familiar face and rear end, the side profile of the prototype resembles the GV80 concept, which hinted about the company’s future intentions during the New York Auto Show last year. The extra-large engine compartment here suggests the production vehicle might also get the G90’s V8 GDI gas engine. From what we know, the first to arrive on the market from the family of future Genesis SUVs will be the GV70 and GV80, followed by the smaller GV60 not before 2021. The luxury marque already registered the three names with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
