Exclusive Dealership for Southern Colorado Sells First Genesis G70
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug 26, 2019 – Phil Long Dealerships has expanded its family of auto brands with the addition of Genesis, the luxury line by Korean manufacturer Hyundai. Genesis of Colorado Springs is the exclusive Genesis dealer for Southern Colorado. Located in Phil Long Hyundai of Chapel Hills, 1540 Auto Mall Loop, Colorado Springs, CO 80920, Genesis of Colorado Springs has a dedicated showroom display space, service advisors and customer service concierge.
First delivery of 2019 Genesis models G70, G80, and G90 to the dealership occurred late last month. On Monday, August 12, Colorado Springs resident Robert Brandt became the first customer of Genesis of Colorado Springs with the purchase of a G70.
The award winning G70 redefines the sports sedan with an unmatched combination of performance, design, and standard luxury features. A standard 2.0L turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder engine delivers an exhilarating 252 horsepower. An available 3.3L twin-turbo GDI V6 365-horsepower engine gives the Genesis G70 the ability to go from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds.
The Genesis brand has received many accolades for its best-in-class standard horsepower and standard advanced safety features, such as the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Smart Cruise Control’s front-mounted radar, and Blind-Spot Collision Warning. For two years in a row, the Genesis Brand ranked #1 in Initial Quality by J.D. Power among all premium auto brands.
“We are excited to add Genesis of Colorado Springs to our family of dealerships”, said Kevin Shaughnessy, VP and Partner of Phil Long Dealerships. “Genesis has the kind of power, performance, and advanced standard safety features that takes the driving experience to new heights.”
