You pride yourself on making a great first impression, which extends to the vehicle you drive. With the GV80 Coupe, Genesis demonstrates its design doctrine of “Athletic Elegance.” It artfully crafts a coupe that blends a muscular sports car with refined materials and high-tech components for the ideal merger. As a result, that great first impression lasts.
Let's face it: flying under the radar is not how you approach life. With the Genesis GV80 Coupe, you can embrace your energetic style and flair to make a dramatic entrance. Its steep-sloping fastback roofline, 20-inch Sport alloy wheels, and daring front and rear fascia display its—and your—fearless side, highlighted by:
- Prominent hood
- G-Matrix Patterned Crest Grille
- Two-Line LED Headlamps and signature taillamps
- Elliptical concave ducktail with spoiler
Like you, the GV80 is intriguing, assertive yet approachable, and highly captivating. Start by choosing from 10 exterior colors ranging from varied tones of white, gray, silver, and black to one of these striking shades:
- Mauna Red
- Storr Green
- Bering Blue
- Capri Blue
Customize your GV80 Coupe to make the statement that best says what you want to present to the world.
The duality of this Genesis continues, contrasting its racing-inspired DNA with the brand’s second design philosophy: “Beauty of White Space.” Standard Nappa leather seats come in distinctive color combinations, such as Sevilla Red with Obsidian Black. The flat-bottomed steering wheel and alloy brake pedal further reflect its sporty attitude.
Still, this athletic coupe is a Genesis, so your comfort is assured. You’ll enjoy standard 3-Zone Climate Control, heated and ventilated seats, a heated front console armrest, and a heated steering wheel. Use the standard Mood Curator and its four modes to customize the GV80 Coupe’s interior at any given time with distinctive lighting, music, and fragrance.
You’re a thrill seeker by nature and have a need for speed. Thanks to its intricate design and precision engineering, the Genesis GV80 Coupe delivers a performance that’s not only aerodynamic but also dynamic. It starts with a turbocharged powertrain and ends with a joyride whenever you get behind the wheel.
The all-wheel-drive GV80 Coupe offers two variations of a 3.5L V6 engine, which yield impressive outputs ranging from 375 to 409 horsepower and 391 to 405 lb-ft of torque.
Engine | Horsepower | Torque |
|---|---|---|
| 3.5L V6 | 375 HP | 391 lb-ft |
| 3.5L Twin Turbo V6 with 48V E-Supercharger | 409 HP | 405 lb-ft |
Both engines are supported by an 8-speed automatic transmission and an electronically controlled suspension with road preview. It uses a forward-facing camera and GPS to scan the road and adjust the suspension for speed bumps, potholes, and other irregularities to ensure you remain comfortably in the lap of luxury.
You’re accustomed to being in command and fine-tuning each detail of your life, leaving nothing to chance. With the Electronic Limited-Slip Differential and five Drive Modes in the Genesis GV80 Coupe, you can calibrate its handling and enjoy greater control in any kind of weather or road conditions:
- Comfort
- Smart
- Eco
- Sport
- Custom
An additional Sport+ Mode is available when you want an extra adrenaline rush.
You relish being on the cutting edge of technology and respect the innovation it brings to your personal and professional life. Your desire for technological assistance only increases when you’re on the go. The Genesis GV80 Coupe comes fully loaded with an arsenal of systems to streamline every aspect of your mobile experience.
With a lot on your mind, you needn’t worry about carrying keys. The Genesis GV80 offers two keyless ways to start your car. Its standard fingerprint reader also accesses your Driver Profile and remembers your preferred seat, mirror, climate, and audio settings. Meanwhile, the Genesis Digital Key 2 system can unlock the door and start the engine using your smartphone.
The GV80 Coupe’s 27-inch OLED Instrument Cluster with split-screen views for navigation, media, and more will appeal to your multi-tasking self. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, a wireless device charger, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability all come standard, as does an 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen Premium Audio system. Active Noise Control cancels outside sounds, ensuring you'll only hear what you want.
You never do anything halfway. After all, anything worth doing is worth doing exceptionally well. The engineers at Genesis agree. So, in addition to its Blind-Spot View Monitor, the GV80 Coupe also equips a Surround View Monitor to keep a vigilant watch on all sides.
Smart Cruise Control is only one aspect of maintaining your safe traveling space; Intelligent Speed Limit Assist and Highway Driving Assist II help ensure your coupe matches the ebb and flow of traffic while staying centered within its lane.
Additional premium safety features come standard and continue to assist even after you’ve reached your destination, including:
- Driver Attention Warning
- Remote Smart Parking Assist
- Safe Exit Assist
- Advanced Rear Occupant Alert
Like you, the Genesis GV80 Coupe is the complete package, going the extra mile to provide total peace of mind.

As an athletic coupe, the X6 throws its hat into the ring to challenge the GV80 Coupe. While the BMW has standard leatherette and heats only the front seats, the Genesis provides leather heated and ventilated seats for all passengers. Second-row riders will appreciate extra legroom and climate control in the Genesis. Although the X6 brings the sport, it falls short in the luxury department.

|---|---|---|
| Nappa Leather | STANDARD UPHOLSTERY | Leatherette |
| 38.7 in. | REAR LEGROOM | 35.7 in. |
