Genesis GV80

The Genesis GV80 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Genesis, Hyundai's luxury division.[4]

Overview

Internally codenamed JX1,[5] the vehicle was leaked in 3D in October 2019[6] and officially unveiled in January 2020 as the first SUV for the Genesis brand.[7] It is a collaborative effort between Genesis design teams in Korea, Europe, and the United States.[8] Built on a new rear-wheel-drive architecture, the doors, hood, and tailgate are made of aluminum.[8]

The GV80 is available with three powertrains, a turbocharged 2.5-litre unit with 304 PS, a turbocharged 3.5-litre unit with 380 PS, and a turbocharged 3.0-litre diesel with 278 PS horsepower, which will only be available in select markets.[9]

It features a navigation-based smart cruise control (ASCC), remote smart parking assist, an NFC digital key, an around view monitor (AVM), 22-inch wheels, Nappa leather seating, a 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment display with the 21-speaker Lexicon audio system, electric side curtains, and driver-controlled second- and third-row seating.[10]

The safety system includes ten airbags, forward collision-avoidance assist, reverse parking collision-avoidance assist, driver attention warning, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, automatic high beam assist, and lane keep assist (LKAS).[11]

Claimed emissions range from 175 to 202 g/km (2.5 L petrol), from 199 to 221 g/km (3.5 L petrol) and from 164 to 188 g/km (3.0 L diesel).[11] The EU target for the emissions of new passenger cars is 95 g/km in 2020.[12] Combined fuel consumption ranges from 8.5 to 9.7 km/L (2.5 L petrol), from 7.8 to 8.6 km/L (3.5 L petrol), and from 10.4 to 11.8 km/L (diesel).[11]

GV80 Concept

The GV80 was previewed by a concept of the same name, equipped with an electric powertrain and hydrogen fuel cell, which debuted at the New York International Auto Show in 2017.[13] The GV80 Concept was styled by Luc Donckerwolke as his first project for the marque after he had moved from Bentley.[14] Hyundai suspended development of hydrogen cars in 2021.[15]

2023 facelift

A refreshed GV80 was unveiled on September 27, 2023, and went on sale in South Korea on October 11, 2023. Changes include redesigned headlamps, front grill, wheels, climate controls and center console. A new 27-inch OLED screen replaced the 12.3-inch instrument cluster and 14.5-inch infotainment screen with dual 14.6-inch touchscreens for rear passengers. The Lexicon sound system was changed to a Bang & Olufsen sound system as well.[16]

GV80 Coupe

The GV80 Coupe was unveiled on September 27, 2023 and went on sale in South Korea on October 11, 2023. It is based on the refreshed GV80, with changes like a coupe inspired roofline, redesigned front bumper and grille, flat bottom steering wheel, and carbon fiber interior trims. The GV80 Coupe also can be configured with an optional higher powered 3.5-litre turbocharged engine that adds a 48V electric supercharger.[17]

South Korea

On August 30, 2021, the GV80 was officially released with a change in the model year.[18][19] The 2022 GV80 added a six-seater model with independent seats in the second row from the existing 5/7-seat model. In addition, it expanded the front-wheel monoblock brake caliper to the petrol 2.5 turbo model and 3.0 diesel model. It also added a copper color to the caliper of the petrol 3.5 turbo model.

Mauna Red and Barossa Burgundy (glossy/matte) were added to the exterior, while Urban Brown and Vanilla Beige two-tone colors were added to the standard design model.[20]

United States

In the United States, it was launched in November 2020 for the 2021 model year.[21] It is available in rear-wheel drive, for the Standard, Advanced and Prestige trim levels and powered by the 2.5-litre turbocharged engine. All-wheel drive is also offered with the 3.5-litre V6 twin-turbo for the AWD Standard, AWD Advanced, AWD Advanced+ and AWD Prestige trim levels available.[22]

Recall

In June 2020, Hyundai Motor suspended delivery of the diesel powered GV80, as the company determined there were engine vibration issues due to carbon buildup.[23] In September 2020, Hyundai Motor recalled 8,783 GV80s because of engine stall.[24] Since the vehicle was launched in January, there have been eight recalls, four of which involved the engine.[24]
