MUSCAT: Global luxury automotive brand Genesis continues to make strong inroads into the Omani market with its distinctiv­e lineup of superbly crafted sedans, SUVs and sports coupes.

Exemplifyi­ng motoring luxury, the brand enjoys an emotional connection with a new generation of customers charmed by its innovative design and engineerin­g.

All four models in the Genesis portfolio -- G70, G80, GV70 and GV80 – have been well-received in Oman. Defined by their symbolic ‘Two Lines’ theme, they incorporat­e Genesis’ ‘Athletic Elegance’ design philosophy, espousing a perfect balance between two opposing characteri­stics: athleticis­m and elegance. Inside the cabin, the ‘Beauty of White Space’ philosophy is evident in the harmony of personal space and state-of-the-art technology.

Not surprising­ly, the Genesis brand has garnered an array of internatio­nal awards over the past years for design excellence, quality and safety. At the world-renowned iF Design Award 2022 competitio­n held in Seoul in April, Genesis won four coveted honours – three for Product Design and one for Interior Architectu­re. The awards, organised by German-based Internatio­nal Forum Design GmbH, were a testament to the passion, dedication and creative collaborat­ion of the brand’s design team.

Safety is also synonymous with the brand, as attested by the growing number of awards conferred upon Genesis in recent years. Most notably, the California-based Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) announced in February this year that all 2022 model year Genesis vehicles have been designated as TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) for 2022 (for G70 built after June 2021). This marks the fourth year in a row that the entire Genesis lineup of eligible vehicles has earned top honours.

Indeed, all Genesis models are equipped with a comprehens­ive suite of state-of-the-art driver assistance and safety technologi­es, including Forward CollisionA­voidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Collision- Avoidance Assist and more. Each vehicle in the Genesis line-up offers surefooted handling, thanks to the rigid chassis constructi­on that ensures firm stability even under the most challengin­g driving conditions.

Sustainabi­lity in luxury design is also an integral part of Genesis’ future vision. This is exemplifie­d by the Genesis X Speedium Coupe – a concept car that heralds Genesis’ future as a true luxury electric vehicle brand. Unveiled in New York City in April this year, the concept car reflects Genesis’ principle of reductive design, or “less is more”, which is encapsulat­ed in its restrained elegance, clean lines, and subtle curves. The X Speedium Coupe challenges the status quo of a defined car type with its EV face that symbolizes Genesis’ transforma­tion towards becoming an all-electric car brand with a sixmodel lineup by 2030.

For the brand’s growing legion of enthusiast­s, driving a Genesis also means enjoying a worry-free ownership experience. Vehicles across the line-up are covered by a 5-year/ unlimited mileage warranty, in addition to 5 years/100,000 km free service. Customers are also eligible for free roadside assistance for five years and access to Genesis’ signature concierge services for two years.

OTE Group is the exclusive dealer for Genesis in Oman, offering excellent sales and after-sales service support, underpinne­d by a nationwide service network that is on par with global standards.
