The pinnacle of athletic elegance and dynamic presence
The Genesis GV80 Coupe takes luxury to a new level with its sporty design and performance to match. The result is the ultimate expression of muscular and athletic elegance with a highly unique design, dynamic ability on the road, and SUV practicality and ruggedness.
The eye is immediately drawn to the fresh silhouette—sleek yet powerful with a coupe roofline and signature parabolic line that Genesis hopes will make it instantly recognizable from any angle.
Dark Chrome details along the belt line and door handles highlight the GV80 Coupe’s sportiness while hinting at its mysterious abilities and character.
Up front, the expressive Double G-Matrix Patterned Grille takes the signature Genesis style to a whole new level. This bold front end is made even more stylish by its additional Dark Chrome moulding and mesh.
Continuing the use of Genesis signature features, Two-Line Micro-Lens Array headlamps are elongated at the front and sides of the front quarters, sitting at the same height as the grille. Flanking that already eye-catching grille, the lights serve to enhance the aggressive sport styling of the vehicle, giving it a look all its own while still making it unmistakably Genesis.
In the back, the same design is used for the rear lamps and creates a sense of unity with the front end for a seamless and graceful look. The Coupe-exclusive spoiler lives above the trunk lid for added aerodynamics and a striking visual detail, and combines with dual exhaust tips to make for an imposing and muscular back end.
Completing the visual package are massive 22-inch aluminum wheels with bold, geometric spokes.
Genesis says the GV80 Coupe’s engine and platform were engineered to push the limits of SUV performance beyond the practical, and into pure driving fun. Under the hood is a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 with a mild-hybrid 48V e-Supercharger, a system that provides low-speed torque and additional power in any driving situation, aiding with engine responsiveness. The powertrain produces 409 HP at 5,800 RPM and 405 lb.ft of torque starting at a low 1,300 RPM. It is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission controlled by a rotary gear selector or sporty shift paddles and all-wheel drive.
Handling is taken care of by the electronically-controlled suspension with Road Preview that analyzes surface conditions with a front-facing camera, adjusting the suspension as constantly and as needed. There is also an electronic limited-slip differential and Drive Mode Select, allowing the driver to choose between Comfort, Smart, Eco, Sport, Sport+ and Custom. The GV80 Coupe also has Flex Brake, giving the driver options for braking: Comfort mode offers comfortable, stable braking, while Sport mode provides a quick response speed and linear braking for safer driving.
The refined interior of the GV80 Coupe sets the tone for every drive. The sleek, modern styling combines a stunning 27″ OLED Instrument Cluster and Navigation System with slim air vents, creating a clean and elegant visual presence. The heated and ventilated front and rear seats are upholstered in sumptuous Nappa leather. Adding to the bespoke look of the cabin are the upholstered panels on the dash and the door, and the massive panoramic sunroof overhead. Behind the track-inspired steering wheel is the Cluster High Performance Gauge that gives the pilot insight into their driving. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard and are directed through the magnificent 18-speaker, 1,400-watt Bang & Olufsen Sound System.
Passenger comfort and safety are provided courtesy of a three-zone climate control system and a full suite of passive and active safety features which include Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and a full Surround View Monitor camera system. There is no lack of practicality with the GV80 either. The powered hands-free liftgate and 40/20/40-split second row deliver ample storage and flexibility to accommodate any task you throw at it.
With comfortable seating and convenient touches, luxurious styling and world-class power, the GV80 Coupe is the perfect combination of athletic style and practical comfort to thrill and delight everyone inside—and outside, too.
