Genesis Unveils 2025 GV80 SUV and New GV80 Coupe

Watch out, Mercedes-Benz and BMW

2025 Genesis GV80 hard front
  • Genesis unveiled photos of and details about its refreshed GV80 SUV and new GV80 coupe.
  • The 2025 GV80 SUV include two engine options and the coupe has three.
  • Pricing and more details will be available later this year.

Time has flown since Genesis revealed its GV80 coupe concept ahead of the New York Auto Show in April. Today, the brand unveiled its new GV80 Coupe and freshened-up GV80 SUV on the other side of the world in its home country of South Korea, and they’re eye-catchingly good. While not as futuristic as the Genesis X concept convertible, it’s a nice blend of now and someday.

Fans of the BMW X6 or Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe might want to pay attention here because the Genesis fastback is as handsome as its luxury competitors. The massive grille encompasses the front end like a wide smile, and the sleek back window of the GV80 coupe slopes sharply toward the tail. Genesis’ GV80 SUV also sports a new front-end design, accented by micro-lens array headlights cribbed from its G90 sedan.

On repeat, the GV80 SUV will carry on with its two main engine choices: a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6. The GV80 coupe adds a third option in the form of the same electric-supercharged V6 currently powering the brand's G90 sedan. The e-supercharger creates a mild hybrid system in the G90, intended to improve response and fuel economy at the same time. The result is a punchy 415 horsepower for the new GV80 coupe and around 405 lb-ft of torque.

Other details revealed include the number of exterior colors (12), which includes a new color called Storr Green in glossy and matte variants. The wheels have been redesigned in 20-inch and 22-inch versions and new chrome trim connects the ends fluidly, directing the eye across its flanks.

The marquee touch is a new 27-inch-wide OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screen, offering excellent graphics quality. It’s described as an integration of the cluster and infotainment screens, and while we don’t have photos of it yet, we can imagine how it stretches across the dashboard. Pricing and availability are not yet available, but a Genesis representative told Edmunds that the brand would share more details for the North American market later this year. Fingers crossed that we'll get the coupe as well as the SUV.

Looks like Genesis has another hit on its hands, and we think the powertrain swap is a smart move.
