| 0:07.6 | to try something bold to keep growing, keep hustling. At Genesis, they've harnessed all |
| 0:15.0 | that excitement of beginnings into their performance SUV, the GB70. It's a car built to turn |
| 0:22.4 | heads with stunning design inside and out. It's packed with intuitive technology inside, |
