Genesis February sales leaders
The luxury brand’s bestselling vehicle for February was the G70 compact sedan. This model sold 841 units for the month, a 2.7 percent increase over the same month a year ago.
The G80 midsize sedan was down from its 2019 numbers, selling 457 units for a 14.2 percent decrease.
The recently redesigned G90 full-size sedan made the month’s biggest gains for Genesis. It sold 289 units for a whopping 64.2 percent increase.
Genesis is hoping for a significant sales boost later this year from a pair of its models. The G80 sedan is debuting this month with a complete redesign. Soon after that, the brand’s first-ever SUV, the GV80, will arrive at dealerships.
As Genesis mounts a sales comeback, it’s turning to a variety of ways to get the word out about its vehicles. In February, the brand was a sponsor of the Genesis Invitational PGA Tour golf event for the fourth straight year. During this event, Genesis had the opportunity to showcase the GV80 in front of a large audience and build excitement for the SUV’s debut.
