Genesis is preparing to enter the field of car manufacturers that are launching SUVs with a design reminiscent of a coupe.
A prototype of the Genesis GV80 mid-sized SUV’s coupe-styled variant has been observed once more, with plans for it to hit the market sometime in the coming year.
Genesis GV80 Outline
The production version, anticipated to be named the GV80 Coupe, is expected to be released as a 2025 model.
In April, Genesis gave a sneak peek of the design with the unveiling of the GV80 Coupe concept.
There seem to be design cues borrowed from recent Genesis coupe concepts, such as the Genesis X Speedium, which was introduced in the previous April.
Genesis GV80 Coupe Concept
The design includes a sloping roofline towards the back, meaning that the SUV won’t have a third-row seating option like the standard GV80. This feature is also found in competitor models such as the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe.
The coupe-like SUV’s powertrain options are likely to be similar to the regular GV80, which currently comes with either a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 300 hp or a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 that delivers 375 hp. It’s plausible that only the V-6 option will be available for the coupe-styled SUV.
The debut of the SUV coupe could be timed with the launch of an updated version of the regular GV80, which first came to market in the 2021 model year and appears to be nearing a mid-cycle update.
Genesis is also rumored to be in the process of developing an electric flagship SUV, possibly named the Electrified GV90. This vehicle is expected to make its appearance either late this year or early next.
Additionally, Genesis dealers have reportedly been informed to anticipate a production version of the Genesis X Convertible concept that was revealed last November.

Electric flagship SUV from Genesis? Now that’s what I’m talking about! Need more info on that. pls share if you have any
is it just me or are all SUVs starting to look like coupes these days seems like a trend. love it or hate it i guess.
Interesting to see what tech will be in this Genesis, the 2025 model year sounds promising. wonder if they’ll innovate or just borow from other models.
no third row in the GV80 Coupe? Guess it’s not for my big family then. Wish they made it more practical. But it looks cool i guess.
Wow the new Genesis GV80 Coupe sounds awesome! cant wait to see it in person. finally, a coupe version 😀
