Michael SatterfieldThe 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe is a game-changer in the luxury SUV segment, blending bold design, exhilarating performance, and cutting-edge technology. Dressed in the stunning optional Bering Blue paint, this SUV demands attention, while the Ultramarine Blue leather interior with red stitching and matching red seat belts makes a statement of refined sportiness. Everywhere we went, people stopped to ask, “What kind of car is that?”—proof that Genesis has struck gold with its styling.
Striking Design That Captivates
From the moment you see the Genesis GV80 Coupe, its aggressive stance and sleek fastback roofline distinguish it from the crowd. It carries the elegance of a luxury SUV while exuding the sporty DNA of a grand tourer. The bold crest grille, quad LED headlights, and sculpted lines give it a powerful presence, rivaling BMW’s X6 and Mercedes-Benz’s GLE Coupe in the aesthetics department.
During our time with the GV80 Coupe, going anywhere without turning heads was impossible. At gas stations, parking lots, and even our neighbor down the street stopped when he saw me in the front yard. The reaction was unanimous—people loved the styling, and most couldn’t believe it was a Genesis. This overwhelming interest proves the brand is making waves in the luxury market.
Powerful Performance With an Edge
Under the hood, the 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe delivers exhilarating performance thanks to its 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with a 48-volt electric supercharger, producing 409 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. This potent powertrain ensures a 0-60 mph sprint in just 5.2 seconds, putting it squarely in competition with BMW and Mercedes-Benz performance SUVs.
Genesis has engineered the GV80 Coupe AWD system to deliver a refined yet engaging drive. The adaptive suspension smooths out rough roads, while the sport-tuned chassis makes twisty backroads an enjoyable experience. Unlike some luxury SUVs that sacrifice comfort for performance, the GV80 Coupe strikes the perfect balance, giving drivers the best of both worlds.
A High-Tech, Luxurious Interior
Step inside, and the Ultramarine Blue leather with red contrast stitching immediately sets the tone for a premium driving experience. The sporty yet luxurious seats, red seat belts, and driver-centric cockpit make this SUV feel as special inside as it looks on the outside.
A standout feature is the massive 27-inch OLED display, which seamlessly integrates the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. Genesis also adds unique luxury touches like the Mood Curator, which enhances the cabin experience through ambient lighting, soothing sounds, and even fragrance diffusion—features that set it apart from rivals.
Technology and connectivity are at the forefront, with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a premium Lexicon sound system, and a full suite of driver-assist features, ensuring safety and convenience.
How It Compares to BMW and Mercedes-Benz
