Genesis unveiled the GV80 Coupe and the redesigned GV80 at an exclusive event held at Genesis Suji in Korea two weeks ago and after the Chuseok holiday was celebrated, we have the very first real world pictures of the Coupe version thanks to our colleagues at CarSpying and Healer TV. What do you think?
The enhanced GV80 brings the first model change in over three years, featuring the distinct signature of the base model with a comprehensive interior redesign. The model promises an elevated in-car experience with new convenience features for comfort and safety.
The brand-new luxury GV80 Coupe embodies Genesis‘ design philosophy of “Athletic Elegance.” Garnering worldwide attention since the reveal of the Coupe Concept in April, the GV80 Coupe effortlessly maximizes practicality and sportiness with a distinctive design package, encompassing a dynamic exterior and a sporty, high-tech interior, complemented by a 3.5-liter gasoline turbo 48V electric supercharger (e-S/C) engine.
“Today, we mark an important milestone in our journey to success,” Chief Brand Officer of Genesis, Graeme Russell, said during the premiere event. “As the boundaries of luxury continue to be redefined, Genesis believes that the GV80 and GV80 Coupe will cater to the ever-evolving needs of our discerning customers.”
The highly anticipated unveiling of the Coupe model adds a new facet to the Genesis brand, emphasizing a fusion of practicality and sportiness to accommodate any driving lifestyle. The GV80 Coupe combines the practicality of an SUV, inheriting the design and performance of the base model, with the dynamism of a coupe. The introduction of the GV80 Coupe reaffirms Genesis’ unwavering commitment to delivering cars with exceptional performance and emotional appeal.
The exterior creates a high-performance image, boasting an elegant yet daring silhouette, featuring the MLA-powered LED headlamps and double-layered Crest Grille like the redesigned GV80. The front design is further accentuated with an expanded air intake, Active Air Flap, and four air vents, which improve engine cooling while also contributing to the coupe SUV’s bold appeal.
When viewed from the side, the arch-shaped Parabolic Line spanning the body and the low, sloping roofline strike a perfect harmony, completing the strong and dynamic exterior design. Adding to its sporty profile, the GV80 Coupe grabs attention with Coupe-exclusive 20- and 22-inch wheels with distinctive spokes.
At the rear, the Coupe features a unique design with LED surface-emitting rear combination lamps and a wide integrated auxiliary brake light on the tailgate. A centrally descending rear spoiler adds a sporty touch. The Coupe is available in a range of 13 exterior color options, including the exclusive Bering Blue.
More details of both the GV80 and GV80 coupe will be released on October 11th. Stay tuned!
