Genesis, Hyundai Motor's premium automotive brand, has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 1 million cumulative domestic sales. This accomplishment, reached in just over 10 years since its inception in December 2015, underscores the brand's successful establishment and growth in the competitive luxury car market.
