Americans want SUVs, but some automakers still believe in cars.
Sport utility vehicles are everywhere: on the streets, in dealer showrooms or spinning on turntables at auto shows.
When Korea's Hyundai Motors spun off Genesis, the company's luxury vehicle division, in late 2015, the first model to roll off the production line was the G90, a $69,350 full-size sedan. As other automakers dazzled journalists with their hulking SUVs, Genesis showcased the antithesis: a tiny, two-seater electric car concept that would appeal to city dwellers.
Ed Kim, vice president of industry analysis for AutoPacific, an automotive research and forecasting firm, does not expect the ironclad grip SUVs have on sedans to loosen in the future. The Detroit automaker said that nearly 90% of its vehicle portfolio in North America would be trucks, utilities and commercial vehicles by 2020, a cost-cutting move that would help it return to profitability. The Ford Mustang and Focus Active hatchback were the only two cars that were saved.
