Hyundai Genesis GV80 Coupe: A New Luxury SUV in India

Genesis GV80 Coupe Design and Specs

We had reported on Genesis’ India entry a few months ago, and the GV80 Coupe’s design patent corroborates this. The GV80 is available in both SUV and coupe-SUV forms; however, only the latter’s design has been patented in India.

The GV80 features Genesis’ signature crest-shaped grille, flanked by a twin horizontal headlamp setup on either side. The stylish design includes a twin-lighting setup at the rear and sporty bumpers on both ends, while the coupe roofline enhances its sporty appeal.

Genesis GV80 Coupe Powertrain and Launch Details

The Genesis GV80 is available with three powertrain options overseas: a base 2.5-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 304hp, a 3.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with a powerful output of 380hp, and a 3.5-litre engine paired with a 48V electric supercharger generating 415hp and 549Nm.

Hyundai is yet to confirm the GV80 Coupe’s India launch or Genesis’ entry into the country, but we expect the brand to launch its first product only by the end of 2025. If the GV80 Coupe is brought to India, it will compete against the likes of the Mercedes GLE, BMW X5, and Audi Q7.
