from 2021 auto vision as youtube's only korean car news channel in english we'll start a brand
new series called korean car rumor mill where we hope to bring all the bits and pieces of car news
and new car rumors directly from korea so if you are a fan of korean cars stay tuned for all the
exciting news from the land of morningcom whether it be official or just chatting room hearsay
so please don't forget to subscribe and click on the bell genesis to create the gv70 coupe autoview
magazine of korea has reported on december 30 2020 that genesis is to produce a coupe version of the
new gv70 which has just been launched with great fanfare like the bmw x4 mercedes-benz glc coupe
the sleeker versions of their respective traditional suvs which they are based on the gv70
coupe will feature a raked roofline and restyled rear end at the cost of sacrificing cargo space
although we don't have any images of what the gv70 coupe would look like we are wondering how
they would make the already super sleek roofline even sleeker however judging by how hyundai has
managed to turn an ordinary i30 hatchback into a magnificent i30 fastback we are inclined to
think that genesis designers will manage to create another masterpiece that would outclass even the
original gv70 the gv70 coupe is also expected to receive all the bells and whistles when it comes
to further improve on the sportiness of the suv including larger wheels and lowered suspension and
new body cladding the price is expected to jump significantly as well from its current 40 000
to 75 000 price tag but with that we really would love to see the more powerful engine in the gv70
coupe like the 430 horsepower 3.5 liter v6 engine that's being worked on currently for other genesis
vehicles it's not certain when the coupe version of the already spectacular gv70 would be released
but our guess would be by the year 2023 with the release of the upcoming genesis jw compact
electric suv joined by the gv70 coupe and another much rumored gv90 large suv genesis is poised to
become a full-line suv manufacturer to take on the german brand's head-to-head palisaden from a joke
to a reality it seems hyundai wasn't kidding after all when they revealed the images the palisade end
which at the time was declared as an april fool's joke according to otto herald of korea's reporting
on january 4th 2021 on april fool's day in 2020 hyundai motor company drew attention by releasing
the images of the palisade large suv the hydrogen electric car nexo and even a concept car prophecy
in the high performance and brand attire hyundai motor company released three models decorated with
a full end treatment on the official instagram channel at the time seriously asking for people's
opinion april fool's prank aside the response was overwhelmingly positive on the palisade
people showed immense reaction over palisade and's large wheels and specific breaks lower arrow parts
painted in intense red and sharp side skirts and quad muffler tips since then people pretty much
forgotten about it until recently that is when it was revealed that it could lead to actual mass
production car advice an australian automotive media outlet predicted that the possibility of
palisade joining the n sub brand was high citing comments made by hyundai's prominent figures
such as albert biermann head of r d and lawrence glove head of global product management when the
executives pointed at the possibility of extending end treatment to all product ranges including suvs
car advice goes a step further and said that the palisada ends to be equipped with a 3.5
liter twin-turbo v6 mounted on the genesis gv80 can this april fool's joke become a dream come
true for all enthusiastic soccer moms all over the world interior of g80 sport revealed we have
previously reported that g80 sport will make a comeback with the new body and even newer engine
the g80 sport is to be powered by a retuned 3.5 liter twin turbocharged v6 engine
which in standard tune makes 375 horsepower in its upgraded form it's expected to make between
420 and 430 horsepower which is as powerful as the normally aspirated v8 engine that's currently
powering g90 full-size sedan the test car images have been circulating for quite a few months but
now for the first time a photo of the interior has been exposed and just as we have predicted
the g80 sport will feature an interior that's a dead copy of the new gv70 sports interior
just like the amg and m packaging which share similar interior and exterior styling cues in all
models bearing the moniker the genesis sport theme is carried to the exterior of the g80 sport as
well as seen by the same slotted five-spoke wool that has been seen on the gv70 sport previously
g80 sport is expected to be launched sometime in late 2021 with a price of about 80 thousand
dollars and of internal combustion engine cars for hyundai hyundai motor group has completely
stopped developing new diesel engines gasoline engines will also be phased out of development
it will abandon the development of an internal combustion engine that has continued for more
than 40 years in its history and set out to transform into an eco-friendly mobility
provider represented by hydrogen electric vehicles and pure electric vehicles according to the auto
industry insiders on january 12 2021 hyundai motor group completely stopped developing new
diesel engines at the end of 2020. accordingly going forward the hyundai motor group will only
supply the diesel engines that have already been developed in the past for hyundai motors
kia motors and genesis cars but will not launch new diesel engines also the hyundai motor group
has already reorganized the company to eliminate the gasoline and diesel powertrain research group
from its long-term development plans in addition it is known that the existing internal combustion
engine research personnel have been reassigned to strengthen research on eco-friendly engines
however for the time being the hyundai motor group will continue to develop gasoline engines
in a limited capacity as they are still in demand mainly in developing countries
and emerging markets even then gasoline engine development is to shift its focus to eco-friendly
engines such as hybrid and plug-in hybrid any new development could be phased out as early as 2023
the suspension of the hyundai motor group's internal combustion engine development is
expected to become a symbolic scene of mobility innovation in the future around the world but
also in korea car history since the opening of the powertrain research center in yangin korea in 1984
hyundai motor company has been writing the history of engine development as it
has grown to become an auto manufacturing powerhouse competing for the top five in
the world aided by its ability to produce highly competitive world-class engines of its own design
the technological prowess attained from developing an internal combustion engine has laid the
foundation for a rapid transition to eco-friendly mobility with the largest market share of hydrogen
electric vehicles and the fourth largest share of pure electric vehicles in the world
and it's also poised to become the leader in self-driving technology and aeronautical mobility
although the development of the internal combustion engine will halt to stop
the development of new cars will not all new cars of hyundai will be developed with eco-friendlier
hybrid and plug-in hybrid firmly in the center of focus eventually though the company will gradually
transition into producing only the dedicated electric and hydrogen electric vehicles such
as the egmp-platformed vehicles such as ionic and hyundai nexo hydrogen electric vehicles
the hyundai motor group sees the time to completely stop launching new cars with
internal combustion engines in advanced markets such as north america and europe around 2040.
however looking at the recent trend this point is expected to be much earlier ionic 5 teaser
images revealed on january 13 2021 hyundai motor company unveiled teaser images for its upcoming
electric vehicle ionic 5 the first model of the exclusive electric vehicle brand ionic
ionic 5 along with its sister models kia cv and genesis jw is the first model to apply the egmp
or electric global modular platform a platform exclusively for electric vehicles and is a key
strategic platform that will open a new era of electric vehicles for the hyundai motor group
egmp is a dedicated ev platform designed with an optimized structure for electric vehicles
so depending on the vehicle type it can drive up to 500 kilometers or 310 miles or more with a
single charge and it is equipped with an 800 volts charging system so that 80 charging is possible
within 18 minutes when using a supercharger for hyundai egmp represents a fundamental change in
the way of thinking of looking at cars in the electric vehicle error as such even the design
of the ioniq 5 features an innovative concept in design called parametric pixel which will be the
core design element of all vehicles from the ionic brand from now on such as the ionic 6 4-door coupe
in the ionic 7 large suv parametric pixel is a unique design concept derived from imagining a
pixel the smallest unit that composes an image when combined reinforces the meaning of passing
through generations by fusion of analog and digital this parametric pixel is applied to
the ionic 5's headlamps tail lights and wheels to create a progressive and futuristic image starting
with the ionic 5 hyundai motor company plans to expand the use of nature-friendly colors and
materials in exclusive electric vehicle models to be released in the future not only to convey the
sensibility of the ionic brand but also to enable ionic to establish itself as a sustainable brand
on the front of the ionic 5 a clamshell hood that covers the entire upper part of the car was
applied for the first time in the hyundai design history this design minimizes the parting line
and completes a smooth and high-tech impression the wheels that feature an aerodynamic structure
designed to reduces drag is 20 inches the largest diameter ever on a passenger car it has
been implemented to achieve a perfect electric car ratio lee sang yap executive director in charge of
