We knew from a variety of sources, including Hyundai CEO Kim Choon-ho, that the new generation of the Genesis sedan would land in dealerships next year, but now, the Korean carmaker has provided a precise date for the world premiere of its luxury mid-size sedan via Brandon Ramirez, senior group manager of product planning with Hyundai Motor America.

“You will see the Genesis at the Detroit auto show,” Ramirez told Edmunds. Next year’s edition of the North American International Auto Show, which is the official name for the event, takes place from January 13 to 26.

While Ramirez avoided getting into any more details about the car, scoop pictures tell the design story of the new Genesis, which will use certain styling elements from the HCD-14 Concept car displayed at this year’s Detroit motor show.

Another highlight will be the introduction of an all-wheel drive option for the first time in the model’s (relatively brief) history, and at some point, the availability of a ten-speed automatic transmission.
