The Genesis GV80 SUV may have been the star of the show, but these secret new models were also teased by the brand.

The Genesis brand has unveiled its GV80 luxury SUV in Seoul, Korea, today - but the company gave a little bit more away than just the details of its BMW X5 rival.

Luc Donckerwolke, chief design officer for Genesis, showcased the GV80 on stage in front of hundreds of media, before giving those present a glance at the future of the brand, with an image of six shadowy future models.

The image aimed to show that “two lines are us, Genesis”, with the distinct headlight design showcased on these secret new models. But it’s clear from the image you see, snapped by Matt Campbell at the event in Seoul, that there will be some exciting new models in the line-up soon.

Clearly visible is a new sports car (with those signature LED twin lights running back beyond the front wheel arch), along with a futuristic EV model at the far right of the line-up bearing a distinctly different light treatment.

It appears there also could be a facelifted G70, a new GV70 mid-size SUV, and a couple of other new models including the all-new G80, which is due later this year.

Matt Campbell has been at the forefront of automotive media for more than a decade, working not only on car reviews and news, but also helping manage automotive outputs across print, online, video and audio. After completing his media degree at Macquarie University, Matt was an intern at a major news organisation as part of the motoring team, where he honed his skills in the online automotive reviews and news space. He did such a good job there they put him on full time, and since then he has worked across different automotive media outlets, before starting with CarsGuide in October 2017. At CarsGuide Matt has helped shape the video output of the business, while also playing a key role in management behind the scenes, and helping in-market new car buyers make the right choice by continually evolving CarsGuide's comparison reviews. Driving more than 100 cars a year seemed like a dream to Matt when he first started out, but now it's all just part of the job - a job he loves and plans to stay in for a long time to come. Matt is also an expert in used car values, as he's always on the hunt for a bargain - be it a project beater or a prime example of the breed.
