Genesis

Exterior

2025 GV80 elevates the model’s luxurious image with a newly designed Double Mesh G-Matrix Crest Grille flanked by signature Two-Line headlights.

The iconic Crest Grille features a unique geometric pattern and smoother and more elegant corner lines and, with the sleek design of the Two-Line Intelligent Front-Lighting System (IFS) headlights, underscores the Genesis brand’s commitment to merging state-of the-art technology with leading-edge design.

The slim and refined new headlight design is made possible by Micro-Lens Array (MLA) technology, and Dynamic Welcome Lighting (DWL), with its unique and expressive sequence, further enhances 2025 GV80’s luxury appeal.

2025 GV80’s expression of Athletic Elegance is accentuated by design elements such as larger front air intakes and a wide skid plate, while a new Guilloché-patterned emblem highlights the convergence of analogue sensibility and advanced technology while adding an elegant finishing touch.

A chrome trim extending seamlessly along the lower body gives 2025 GV80 a powerful presence when viewed in profile.

Contributing to 2025 GV80’s solid and refined character are new 22-inch two-line wheels that blend luxurious elegance with bold and sporty functionality in a sleek dark grey matte finish.

Completing the sophisticated image is a new slimmer, sculpted rear bumper design featuring hidden muffler tips, a V-shaped chrome trim inspired by the Crest Grille, and a bold lower body-coloured line.

GV80 Coupe Exterior

The highly anticipated 2025 GV80 Coupe combines the practicality of an SUV with the dynamism of a coupe to reaffirm the Genesis brand’s unwavering commitment to delivering cars with exceptional performance and emotional appeal.

Bold yet sleek GV80 Coupe builds on 2025 GV80’s high-performance image, with its headline MLA-powered LED IFS headlamps and dynamic double-layered bright chrome Crest Grille, while introducing an elegant yet daring silhouette.

GV80 Coupe’s expression of Athletic Elegance is enhanced through expanded front air intakes with a three-dimensional effect and four air vents, which improve engine cooling while contributing to GV80 Coupe’s purposeful and aggressive visage.

Expressive Dynamic Welcome Lighting (DWL) features at the front and rear of 2025 GV80 Coupe.

In profile, 2025 GV80 Coupe’s arch-shaped Parabolic Line, which spans the body, and low, sloping roofline strike a perfect harmony, completing a strong and dynamic exterior design.

Further enhancing GV80 Coupe’s seamless silhouette are flush roof rails that help create a smoothly flowing roofline.

Underlining GV80 Coupe’s sporty presence are distinctive Coupe-exclusive 22-inch dark gray matte alloy wheels.

At the rear, GV80 Coupe features a unique design with Two-Line LED surface-emitting rear combination lights, a wide integrated auxiliary brake light on the tailgate, and a sports dual muffler.

A centrally descending double-hump rear spoiler adds sportiness while optimising airflow over the tailgate.

Genesis GV80 Engine and drivetrain

2025 GV80 is offered exclusively with the flagship high-performance G3.5 FR T-GDi twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre engine.

The 3,470cc petrol V6 produces 279kW and 530Nm, uses 11.7L/100km on the official combined cycle, and powers 2025 GV80 from rest to 100km/h in 5.6 seconds (5.7 seconds for GV80 Coupe).

2025 GV80 features the advanced, rear-wheel drive biased Genesis All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, which optimally distributes torque based on a range of inputs.

The multi-mode AWD system features an electronic, variable-torque-split clutch with active torque control between the front and rear axles.

Upgraded front brake calipers are now of monobloc construction, enhancing both calipr rigidity and 2025 GV80’s sporty image, and are finished in silver (SUV) and black (Coupe).

Genesis GV80 Coupe

Driving Technology

Advanced driving technologies in 2025 GV80 and GV80 Coupe treat occupants to a smooth, stable and sporty drive across the spectrum of conditions. These include:

Preview Electronic Control Suspension: Pre-view ECS optimises control of the suspension by recognising the road conditions using the windscreen-mounted camera and navigation data.

Flex Brake: Features in dynamic GV80 Coupe to let the driver choose how they want the brakes to respond. Comfort mode offers comfortable, stable braking, while Sport mode provides quick response and linear braking for high-performance driving.

Engine Mounting Control Unit (EMCU): New second-generation EMCU technology detects road surfaces to reduce driving vibrations.

Crosswind Stabilisation System: Assists drivers with high-speed driving during strong wind conditions.

Drive Mode:  An Integrated Drive Mode system features a series of modes designed to best suit the driving situation: Comfort, Eco, Sport and Custom. An additional high-performance Sport+ drive mode features for GV80 Coupe.

Auto Terrain Mode: A new Auto Terrain Mode system utilises AI to assess road conditions and can then precisely control the driving force by selecting the appropriate drive mode automatically, to enhance driver convenience.

The system features Snow, Mud and Sand settings, each providing optimal torque distribution to ensure traction and performance.

  • Snow: Optimised for snow or slippery roads
  • Mud: Optimised for mud, unpaved and uneven roads
  • Sand: Optimised for smooth, dry sand or deep gravel roads

These technologies are complemented by noise-absorbing tyres and materials, including improved soundproofing for the tailgate, to give the serene 2025 GV80 best-in-class tranquillity.

Active Sound Design

In GV80 Coupe, drivers can instead enjoy the soundscape of a large-displacement high-performance exhaust note, using the Active Sound Design system.

Safety

In line with the Genesis brand’s commitment to safety, 2025 GV80 features a suite of 10 airbags, including a front-centre side airbag.

An upgraded Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) suite in 2025 GV80 includes the following technologies:

Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2)

2025 GV80 further advances its safety suite with Highway Driving Assist 2. The system provides enhancements to the suite of features seen in Smart Cruise Control and, when activated on a highway, supports vehicle lane positioning and lane changes.

Lane Following Assist (LFA 2) w/ Hands on Detection

Utilising the windscreen-mounted camera to detect lane markings and vehicles ahead, LFA assists the driver’s steering to help keep the vehicle centred in the lane, operating at vehicle speeds from 0-200km/h.

If one or both lane markings are unclear, 2025 GV80 will create a virtual lane or follow the path of the vehicle ahead.

A Hands-On-Detection (HOD) function allows the vehicle to accurately detect when the driver is holding the steering wheel.

Remote Smart Parking Assistant 2 (RSPA 2)

Remote Smart Parking Assistant (RSPA 2) lets users manoeuvre and park 2025 GV80 remotely from outside the vehicle.

Key functionalities:

  • Parking assist mode – Identifies parking space lines to assist with perpendicular, parallel and diagonal parking manoeuvres
  • Collision avoidance – Can activate avoidance maneuvers based on camera image recognition as well as recognising parking completion

Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist – Front/Side/Rear (PCA-F/S/R)

Parking Collision-Avoidance-Assist (PCA-F/S/R) helps prevent low-speed collisions with pedestrians or obstacles when driving at up to 10km/h.

PCA-R uses a high-definition camera and ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles. If a potential collision is detected, the system warns the driver with visual and audible alerts and assists with braking to help prevent the collision.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2 (FCA 2)

The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2 system, when active, utilises the front radar sensor and windscreen-mounted camera to detect and monitor vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists in front of GV80.

If a potential collision is detected, the system’s Forward Collision Warning (FCW) function will sound a warning chime and display a warning in the instrument cluster or Head-Up Display (HUD).

Where driver intervention is not detected after a FCW system warning, the FCA system will automatically apply the vehicle’s brakes and/or engage Evasive Steering Assist to avoid or reduce the severity of a potential collision.

In addition, the junction turning/junction crossing function detects oncoming vehicles in an adjacent lane when preparing to make a right turn at a junction, as well as vehicles in a perpendicular lane when preparing to cross an intersection and, in the event a collision appears likely, applies the brakes to stop GV80.

The lane-change oncoming/lane-change side function assists through corrective steering input in the event a collision appears likely with oncoming vehicles in an adjacent lane or, in lane-change and lane-departure situations, vehicles approaching in the same direction in an adjacent lane.

In Cabin Camera (ICC)

Camera positioned on the steering column facing the driver, analysing eye movements and driver attention ensuring that the driver is focused on the road.
