Genesis begins a new North American chapter with a gorgeous, standalone retail location in Lafayette, Louisiana. The client-focused center is experience driven is a treat for the senses and brings a new level of subtle retail therapy to the automotive purchase experience.


The new-to-America retail destination offers clients the chance to take advantage of an experience tailored directly to them. Elegance, a relaxing sense of calm and ease perforate the Genesis of Lafayette location operated by Arthur C. LeBlanc Jr. and the Sterling Automotive Group. A soothing sensory experience, the open floorplan is accented with museum quality artwork, electrified stations to serve your next-gen vehicles, an indoor vehicle delivery area and an interactive brand cube that let you experience material samples, view vehicle specifications in a stress-free environment similar to that of a trusted atelier.

“We are glad to partner with Arthur LeBlanc and Sterling Automotive Group on our first standalone retail facility in the United States. I want to extend my thanks to the entire Sterling Automotive Group for creating a space beautifully designed and so befitting of our remarkable products.”
Claudia Marquez, chief operating officer of Genesis Motor North America


At the center of the experience is a premium on the client’s time and convenience, Genesis guests and owners are offered the privilege of an at-home test drive that is scheduled online and the option of taking delivery of your award-winning vehicle at your residence, though I wouldn’t miss the experience of the retail location.

“Genesis is an exciting brand and I’m pleased to be investing in its bright future,”
Arthur C. LeBlanc, Jr. , Principal.

In a fitting and very cool way to celebrate the start of a new chapter and to pay it forward to the Lafayette – Acadiana community, Genesis Motor America and Genesis of Lafayette presented a $15,000 donation to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Acadiana. This donation continues the efforts of Genesis Gives, a new charitable initiative that supports STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) education, sports, and athletics programming for children across the globe.
