Hyundai is reportedly planning to launch its luxury brand Genesis in India, signalling a fresh chapter in the automaker’s global strategy.
Known for building dependable mass-market vehicles, Hyundai aims to spread its wings into the premium segment—making luxury, technology, and electric powertrains more accessible to Indian buyers who increasingly demand high-end comfort.
With Hyundai already enjoying strong brand recognition in India, the addition of Genesis could reshape the luxury automobile landscape.
Genesis Entry Likely Driven by Strong Brand Perception
According to Hyundai CEO Jose Munoz, India offers fertile ground for Genesis because Hyundai already has solid credibility here.
Though Hyundai is not expecting a radical jump in market share, the company believes India has significant room for premium offerings.
The positive perception of Hyundai among Indian consumers could help Genesis establish itself without being seen as a foreign upstart.

Profits, EVs and Global Strategy Behind the Move
Genesis isn’t just prestige it’s a profit centre. Globally, the luxury brand delivers double-digit margins and higher profitability per vehicle.
Hyundai aims to boost volumes by 50% by 2030, supported by plans for hybrid, extended-range, and fully electric Genesis models.
While regions like Europe, North America, and the Middle East are already confirmed for expansion, the consideration of India represents a new test market.
