Genesis prepares to release the highly anticipated G80 Black model. Following in the footsteps of the successful Genesis G90 Black, GV80 Black and GV80 Coupe Black, this upcoming variant of the G80 was recently spied for the first time by our colleagues at HealerTV.

Building on the Black Label Legacy

Genesis has crafted a distinctive identity with its “Black” editions, celebrated for their sophisticated design, exclusive finishes, and meticulous attention to detail. The G90 Black redefined flagship sedans with an air of opulence, while the GV80 Black and GV80 Coupe Black brought this prestige to the SUV segment. Now, the Genesis G80 Black is set to carry forward this legacy in the executive sedan category.

Striking Design: Aesthetic Masterpiece

The Genesis G80 Black will be instantly recognizable thanks to its bold yet refined design language. It will feature a signature blacked-out grille, dark chrome accents, and an exclusive high-gloss black paint finish, so this special edition sedan will exude understated elegance. Custom wheels with a gloss-black finish further will amplify its dynamic stance, while subtle “Black” badging hints at its exclusivity.

Inside, the G80 Black will offer a sanctuary of luxury. The cabin will boast premium materials like quilted Nappa leather, Alcantara headliners, and carbon-fiber trim accents. Custom ambient lighting and embroidered headrests will add bespoke touches, creating an immersive experience for both driver and passengers.

Performance Meets Prestige

While Genesis remains tight-lipped about specific performance upgrades for the G80 Black, industry insiders expect it to feature the brand’s top-tier powertrain options. A turbocharged V6 or even an electrified variant could be on the cards, ensuring that the Black model delivers exhilarating performance with the smoothness that Genesis vehicles are known for.

In addition, advanced driving technologies such as adaptive suspension, all-wheel drive, and Genesis’s suite of driver assistance systems are expected to be standard, making the Black model as functional as it is stylish.

Conclusion

While we wait for the full reveal, the Genesis G80 Black will even increase the sales of Genesis best selling vehicle solidifying its position as a must-have vehicle for luxury enthusiasts.
