Genesis has officially pulled the wraps off the 2025 GV80 Coupe, marking the luxury brand's entry into the popular but polarizing SUV coupe segment. Based on the refreshed GV80 SUV, the Coupe adds a sleek, sloping roofline and a more powerful engine option to create a more athletic and style-focused flagship.

Style and Power

The GV80 Coupe shares its handsome front end and updated interior with the standard GV80, but the rear is all new. The dramatic roofline flows into an integrated spoiler, creating a sportier silhouette. But the changes are more than just skin deep.

  • Exclusive Powertrain: The Coupe gets an exclusive engine option: a 3.5-liter V-6 with a 48-volt electric supercharger, boosting output to an impressive 409 horsepower.
  • Sport+ Driving Mode: To enhance its dynamic character, the Coupe features a unique Sport+ driving mode and launch control.
  • Luxurious Interior: The cabin gets unique touches like a D-cut steering wheel and carbon fiber trim, alongside the new 27.0-inch OLED display that's shared with the standard GV80.

Taking on the Germans

With the GV80 Coupe, Genesis is making a direct challenge to the German automakers that have long dominated this niche, including the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe. By offering a compelling blend of unique design, powerful performance, and a luxurious interior, Genesis is poised to steal customers looking for a stylish alternative. The GV80 Coupe is expected to arrive at U.S. dealers in late 2025.
