In 2019, the carmaker aims to mass-produce the GV80 at its domestic plant, he said. The GV80 is the first SUV model revealed by Hyundai under the independent Genesis brand. 

The GV80 made a global debut at the New York Auto Show in April.

No further details were given by the maker of the Sonata sedan and Santa Fe SUV. (Yonhap)
