Lithia has opened a new Genesis dealership in Leeds as the Korean luxury car brand continues to expand its UK retail network.
The new site, on Gelderd Road, will offer the manufacturer’s full model range alongside Genesis Certified used cars.
Operated by Lithia, the showroom covers more than 147 square metres and includes a customer lounge and space to display the latest Genesis models, including the new GV60 Magma.
The opening is the latest stage in Genesis’s move to establish a wider network of dedicated retailers across Britain.
It follows recent dealership openings in Glasgow, Surrey, Cannock and Kent, adding to the brand’s existing Genesis Studios in London’s Westfield and Battersea developments, as well as Edinburgh.
The Leeds appointment also builds on Genesis’s relationship with Lithia, which already operates a portfolio of premium car brand franchises and has an established relationship with sister brand Hyundai.
Ben Sargeant, director of Genesis and customer strategy at Genesis Motor UK, said: ‘We are proud to open our newest retailer, Genesis Leeds. This milestone marks another exciting next step in the rollout of our retail business model.
‘As our network continues to grow across the UK, we are creating more opportunities for customers to explore the Genesis range first-hand while strengthening our brand presence in key regions.’
The dealership has been designed to reflect Genesis’s ‘premium positioning’, the carmaker said, with a glass-fronted showroom and dedicated customer facilities.
Lithia says the site will serve customers across Yorkshire and the surrounding area.
Rob Miller, group vice president at Lithia, said: ‘We’re delighted to open our dedicated Genesis Leeds showroom and introduce this exciting premium brand to customers across Yorkshire and the surrounding region.
‘The showroom has been carefully designed to reflect Genesis’ premium, customer-centric philosophy.
‘We look forward to welcoming customers to discover the range and experience the personalised service that sits at the heart of both Genesis and Lithia.’
The opening comes as Genesis continues to develop its European retail operations, with the manufacturer also expanding its presence in Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands.
