Among the prominent official cars, the Genesis G90 will take the centre stage at the G20 Summit, New Delhi. India is hosting this G20 Summit, which is a matter of great pride to the nation. Delegates and VVIPs from across the globe will attend this summit. Therefore, the top luxury saloons will be responsible for transporting them around Delhi NCR. It is always exciting to witness the vehicles designated for the VVIPs and their family members. This time around, the official convoy of prominent ministers will include, among others, the Genesis G90. In fact, this isn’t the first time that Hyundai’s luxury marque is being used at G20. PM Modi used the G80 e-SUV at the G20 Summit in Indonesia last year.

Additionally, there are other cars including Toyota Innova Crysta, Mahindra Scorpio, Ambulances and other Police Pilot cars. However, the most attractive one of the lot has to be the Genesis G90.

Genesis in India
Hyundai is the second-largest carmaker in India. It has a dominant market share. However, these cars are mostly limited to the mass-market section. But with the all-electric IONIQ 5, Hyundai has ventured into the premium end of the market. The on-road price of the EV is well over Rs 50 lakh. This could very well pave the way for Hyundai to consider bringing the Genesis sub-brand to India in times to come. We shall keep an eye out for that.
