Genesis has recently unveiled its new GV80 Coupe, along with a partially modified version of the GV80 model, at Genesis Suji. The GV80 Coupe is a luxury coupe-type SUV that combines luxurious details with a dynamic silhouette. It is set to enter the coupe-type SUV market, competing directly with European premium brands. What sets the GV80 Coupe apart from the basic GV80 is its unique design.
The GV80 Coupe features a dynamic and bold coupe design that maximizes dynamism based on the brand’s ‘dynamic elegance’ design philosophy. The front ridge grill is equipped with a double mesh structure radiator grill, while smoother corner lines create a sophisticated image. The grill also includes active air flaps, extended air intakes, and four vents at the bottom to optimize engine room cooling. The low and gradual side profile of the GV80 Coupe, along with its new 20-inch and 22-inch wheels, brings attention to its unique style and high braking performance. The rear of the vehicle is highlighted by a center-lowering rear spoiler and twin twin mufflers.
In addition to its striking exterior, the GV80 Coupe offers an optimized layout for indoor residency security. The interior design features a D-cut steering with two-tone colors, carbon trim with a unique pattern, coupe-specific patterned seats, stitching, and metal pedals. Despite the common drawback of limited interior space in coupe-type SUVs, Genesis has maximized the interior space in the GV80 Coupe. The engine room, chassis layout, and trunk package have been optimized, and a folding luggage shelf has been added to ensure ample storage. The second row also offers a reclining function for enhanced comfort.
The GV80 Coupe boasts various drive functions that maximize high performance and sensitivity. In addition to the 2.5-liter gasoline turbo and 3.5-liter gasoline turbo engines available in the basic model, the GV80 Coupe introduces a new 3.5-liter turbo gasoline 48V electric supercharger engine. This engine compresses air through a motor in the low range and supplies it to the engine, resulting in improved mid-to-low speed acceleration response. Other specialist specifications, such as high-performance gauges and an active sound design that reproduces the exhaust sound of a high-displacement sports coupe, enhance the unique sensibility of a high-performance car.
Practical driving features have also been included in the GV80 Coupe to double the fun of driving. Launch control, for instance, allows drivers to test the vehicle’s acceleration performance to the maximum, while Sports Plus mode provides a driving experience specialized for limit driving. The vehicle is equipped with flexible brakes that can adjust the brake pedal response based on the driver’s preferences, further enhancing the driving experience.
Genesis plans to start selling the GV80 and GV80 Coupe on October 11, with a special exhibition to be held at Genesis Suji from October 14 to 22. Overall, the GV80 Coupe offers a unique and luxurious option in the coupe-type SUV market, combining style, performance, and practicality.

The GV80 Coupe presents itself as a premium luxury coupe type SUV while expressing luxurious details and a dynamic silhouette at the same time. It is expected that they will enter the coupe-type SUV market pioneered by European premium brands and compete directly.

Dynamic and bold coupe design

The GV80 Coupe features an exterior that maximizes dynamism based on the brand’s ‘dynamic elegance’ design philosophy. First, a radiator grill with a double mesh structure was placed on the front ridge grill. The corner lines were smoother than before to create a sophisticated image. Active air flaps, extended air intakes, and four vents at the bottom of the grill play a role in creating optimal airflow for engine room cooling.

The unique coupe-type design, with a low, gradual side profile, catches the eye. New 20-inch and 22-inch wheels were applied. Each wheel has a unique style that emphasizes spokes, and the interior appears to emphasize high braking performance with a monoblock caliper. The rear features a center-lowering rear spoiler and twin twin mufflers.

Interior space, which is considered a drawback of coupe type SUVs, has also been maximized. The engine room, chassis layout, and trunk package were optimized, and a folding luggage shelf was installed to ensure plenty of space and storage. In addition, the fact that living space in the second row has been achieved by applying the reclining function of the rear seat is something to be proud of.

In addition to the 2.5 gasoline turbo and 3.5 gasoline turbo of the basic model, the GV80 Coupe has added a new 3.5 turbo gasoline 48V electric supercharger engine. By compressing air through the motor in the low range and supplying it to the engine, the highest torque point has been developed compared to the current 3.5 gasoline turbo. Through this, mid-to-low speed acceleration response has been improved.
A variety of specialist specifications have been applied to allow you to experience the unique sensibility of a high performance car. In addition to high-performance gauges showing oil temperature, torque, and turbo pressure, an active sound design was applied that reproduces the exhaust sound of a high-displacement sports coupe.

When it comes to practical driving, it also includes features that double the fun of driving. Launch control for drivers who want to test the vehicle’s acceleration performance to the maximum and Sports Plus mode, a driving mode specialized for limit driving, are installed. Flexible brakes were also used, which can adjust the brake pedal response depending on the driver’s preferences. This feature can be selected from the electric turbo 3.5 gasoline 48V supercharger model, which has the highest driving performance.
Genesis plans to start selling the GV80 and GV80 Coupe starting October 11. Before this, a special exhibition will be held at Genesis Suji from October 14th to 22nd.
