2023.11.15

• New 2025 GV80 receives exterior enhancements and elevated interior

• All-new 2025 GV80 Coupe to enter North American market in 2024

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15, 2023 – Genesis has unveiled the new 2025 GV80 SUV and first-ever 2025 GV80 Coupe at an exclusive North American debut event in Los Angeles.

The newly redesigned GV80 brings its first model change in over three years, featuring a comprehensive interior redesign. The model promises an elevated in-car experience with new convenience features for enhanced comfort and safety.

Attracting worldwide attention at the April reveal of the GV80 Coupe Concept in New York City, the GV80 Coupe effortlessly maximizes utility and sportiness with a distinctive design package. Encompassing a dynamic exterior and a sporty, high-tech interior, its bold looks are complemented by a 3.5L twin-turbocharged engine with a 48V electric supercharger (e-S/C).

“We look forward to expanding our GV80 family next year with the addition of the sporty new Coupe,” said José Muñoz, president and CEO of Genesis Motor North America and global chief operating officer of Hyundai Motor Company. “Both the new SUV and Coupe models bring refined performance and bold design to the portfolio, each with their own distinct character for customers to choose.”

GV80 SUV: Refined Exterior Design

The redesigned GV80 elevates the experience for drivers and passengers alike with a number of new enhancements to its exterior.

The GV80’s front includes a newly designed Double Mesh G-Matrix Crest Grille and the signature Two-Line headlamps. The Crest Grille refines the model’s elegance with smoother corner lines, and the sleek design of the Two-Line headlamps, made possible with MLA (Micro Lens Array) technology[i], emphasizing Genesis’ commitment to state-of the-art technology and design excellence.

The GV80's robust and athletic SUV persona is accentuated with design elements such as larger air intakes and a wide skid plate design on the front bumper, while the Guilloché-patterned emblem adds an elegant finishing touch both inside and out.

A new chrome trim extends seamlessly along the sides, exuding a powerful presence from the front to the rear.

Two new wheel designs contribute to GV80’s solid and refined character. The 20-inch design creates a multi-spoke look by intersecting two different spokes with distinct finishings, while the 22-inch offering reinterprets the Two-Line design.

At the rear, the muffler tips hidden in the bumper elevate GV80’s sophistication. Key elements of the Genesis design language add to the model’s image with distinctive V-shape chrome trim inspired by the iconic Crest Grille. The lower part of the bumper exudes a sense of stability with its bold body-coloured line.

GV80 SUV: Elegant Interior with High-Tech Sensibility in the Beauty of Openness

The interior of the new GV80 accentuates Genesis’ design ethos of Beauty of Openness, while incorporating new technologies to create a sophisticated ambiance.

A 27-inch-wide OLED display integrates the cluster and the AVN (Audio, Video, Navigation) screen, exemplifying harmony of technology and information within its high-tech horizontal layout.

Seamless design extends to the centre stack, where the touch-based HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system thoughtfully offers drivers an ease of control. The redesigned crystal-like Shift By Wire (SBW) ensures a comfortable grip.

Quality materials and design enhancements add to GV80’s overall elegance, including elements like two-tone steering wheel options featuring a new Genesis emblem, an improved pedal design, and accents comprised of leather, aluminum, and real wood throughout.

A redesigned wireless smartphone charging tray enables more convenient charging and provides improved visibility of the phone while it's charging. Other considerations include an enlarged console cup holder, and new volume/tune adjustment knobs.

GV80 Coupe: Practicality and Sportiness Meet to Define Athletic Elegance

The highly anticipated unveiling of the GV80 Coupe adds a new facet to the Genesis brand, emphasizing a fusion of practicality and sportiness.

The GV80 Coupe combines the practicality of an SUV with the dynamism of a coupe. The introduction of the GV80 Coupe reaffirms Genesis’ commitment to delivering cars with exceptional performance and emotional appeal.

The exterior boasts an elegant yet daring silhouette, the arch-shaped Parabolic Line spanning the body and the low, sloping roofline striking a perfect harmony. This design is accentuated by elements like the MLA-powered LED headlamps, Double Mesh G-Matrix Crest Grille, and Coupe-exclusive 22-inch wheels with distinctive spokes.

At the rear, the GV80 Coupe features a unique design with LED surface-emitting rear combination lamps and a wide integrated high mount brake light on the tailgate. A centrally descending rear spoiler adds a sporty touch.

GV80 Coupe: Coupe-Specific Sporty Design Package

The interior of the GV80 Coupe captures a sporty sensibility with a design unique to the coupe.

The available two-tone D-cut steering wheel along with metal accents on accelerator and brake pedals reinforce its driving dynamics. Unique coupe-exclusive patterns and stitching further contribute to the refined design.

Power and Performance

The GV80 SUV will be equipped with two powertrain options: a 2.5L turbocharged engine, delivering 300 horsepower, and a gasoline 3.5L twin-turbocharged engine, which produces 375 horsepower.

The GV80 Coupe will be offered exclusively with a 3.5L twin-turbocharged engine featuring a 48V electric supercharger (e-S/C), resulting in a robust 409 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque at as low as 1,300 rpm.

Further details regarding the upcoming 2025 GV80 SUV and GV80 Coupe’s availability, specifications, and pricing will be announced in 2024.
