Hyundai’s flagship Genesis luxury sedan could form the basis for a new upmarket SUV model, according to reports out of the US.
Reuters quotes four anonymous sources said to be close the matter, saying the Korean carmaker is looking to fill ‘gaps’ in its model range.
Like Australia, the SUV market in the US has gone from strength to strength in recent years, but Hyundai’s SUV line-up in the ‘States consists only of the midsized Tucson and larger Santa Fe.
It’s the same story in Australia, with the popular ix35 to be replaced by the Tucson by the end of 2015, and the Santa Fe serving the large SUV market.
Hyundai has recently introduced the world to the upcoming compact Creta SUV, but the carmaker has no variants to compete with the likes of the enormous Cadillac Escalade (pictured below) or Lincoln Navigator models in the US.
