Genesis unveils 415-horsepower GV80 Coupe with 27-inch display

In April, during the 2023 New York Auto Show, Genesis first showcased the GV80 Coupe Concept and announced its intention to mass-produce the vehicle as a competitor to BMW's X6. The luxury arm of Hyundai has now revealed the production version of the car for the South Korean market.

Visually, the production GV80 Coupe closely mirrors its concept counterpart displayed in New York, complete with exclusive 20- and 22-inch wheel options. The sporty roof spoiler from the concept is retained, and the top-end model features a quad exhaust setup. The vehicle comes with a flashy dual mesh front grille and offers 13 different exterior paint options, including an exclusive Bering Blue hue not available on any other models.

Notably, the interior showcases the most prominent distinction between the concept and the final product—a broad 27-inch infotainment display that appears to be a single, expansive screen. The gear selector and infotainment dials boast a high-end crystal finish, similar to what is seen in upscale BMW offerings. In contrast to the concept's individual bucket seats, the production model has leather-clad seats and a rear bench that accommodates three passengers.

The cabin exudes luxury with features ranging from a two-tone steering wheel and genuine wood accents to leather seat covers and aluminum highlights. The center console incorporates touch-sensitive climate controls, and the rear seats offer adjustable reclining options. Interior color choices number five, including three new additions: Glacier White, Earth Brown, and Bordeau Brown.

On the technical side, the Genesis GV80 Coupe measures 4,965 mm (195.4 inches) in length and has a spacious wheelbase of 2,955 mm (116.3 inches). The vehicle's width is 1,975 mm (77.7 inches), and it stands 1,710 mm (67.3 inches) tall. All versions come with standard all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic gearbox, and each variant has an 80-liter (21.1-gallon) fuel tank.

In terms of power, the entry-level model is equipped with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine that generates 304 hp and 422 Nm (311 lb-ft) of torque. A larger 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine offers 380 hp and 530 Nm (391 lb-ft), and the same engine paired with an electric supercharger delivers 415 hp and 549 Nm (405 lb-ft).

Both the coupe-SUV and its conventional GV80 sibling will receive similar updates, and Genesis plans to display both models at the upcoming 2023 Busan International Film Festival.

Sales of the Genesis GV80 Coupe are expected to begin on October 11.
