New Genesis GV80 Coupe Review | A New Performance Luxury SUV Delivers Excitement
With words like stunning, snazzy, plush, and dynamic, critics have been praising the new Genesis GV80 Coupe. This performance SUV exudes personality even before the driver hits the accelerator.
In this new model review, we’ll look at the new GV80 Coupe in Phoenix. Can it be both a fast ride and a luxury SUV? Keep scrolling to find out.
Curb Appeal
When Genesis designers were asked to create the new GV80 Coupe in Phoenix, they took the best elements of the GV80 and infused them with an athletic elegance. This sporty vibe translates into a more aggressive front end and a distinctive rear roof spoiler.
The most striking style aspect is the fastback line. This sloping roofline gives it a unique silhouette that speaks to its performance capability. Likewise the front air intakes are reshaped to indicate the racecar legacies on which this SUV relies.
Nighttime views are distinctive thanks to the thin double headlights composed of MLA LEDs. Rear brake lights wrap around the sides and stretch toward the Genesis logo on the liftgate.
Cabin Size and Style
Whereas the GV80 offers a three row style, the new GV80 Coupe in Phoenix sticks with the two-row style. It offers generous cabin space as well as good cargo area, but it focuses the package on performance.
The dashboard has been pushed back to create a more spacious perch on the front row. Soft touches abound, and high quality leather covers the plush seating.
Sport detailing is subtle but evident in color choices, patterns, and garnishes. A flat-bottom D-cut steering wheel wears a two-tone color scheme. Driver pedals have metal detailing that prevents the driver’s foot from slipping off during maneuvers.
GV80 Coupe Cockpit
A defining feature of the cabin is the pair of OLED screens on the new Genesis GV80 Coupe. One forms the digital instrument cluster with performance gauge options to please the driver. The other is a 13.2-inch touchscreen with a console-mounted, click-wheel controller and advanced voice controls.
Features include in-dash navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and built-in infotainment apps. A touch panel makes it easy to control the air conditioning flow. An upgraded console features a bigger phone shelf and bigger cup holders. Offering a way to disinfect your smartphone, the glovebox features a UV light device.
For second-row entertainment, shoppers can add a 14.6-inch rear screen. Other tech toys include a wireless charger and a Bang & Olufsen audio system.
GV80 Coupe Powertrain
Every aspect of the coupe’s performance has been tuned for speed. As the centerpiece, the twin-turbo V6 boasts an e-supercharger. This 48V electric motor system allows output to increase from 375 to 409 horsepower. The torque rate estimates show about 405 lb-ft.
This curve-carving, corner-conquering power will make any driving enthusiast feel empowered. It’s how the new Genesis GV80 Coupe in Phoenix is putting other luxury coupe SUVs -- like the BMW X6 -- on notice.
All wheel drive provides the certainty that wheelspin and traction are covered. This electronic device switches to the best distribution of power between the two axles as needed.
This new Genesis is challenging many established players, including the Mercedes GLE Coupe. That ride offers only four years of powertrain coverage. Meanwhile, Genesis offers up to ten years of powertrain coverage on the new Genesis GV80 Coupe.

Personalized Handling
For the most exciting driving experiences, new GV80 Coupes have a Sport Mode+ among the SUV’s driving modes. This helps the 8-speed automatic transmission and sport-tuned suspension sharpen their responses to the high-powered system. Owners will appreciate a launch mode for the faster take-offs.
Another way it responds to conditions is with its available adaptive suspension. Genesis utilizes Road Preview, which watches for road imperfections and adjusts in real time to ensure good ride quality. Drivers will feel more confident while passengers will simply feel more comfortable.
Active Sound Design is a third element. With this available feature, drivers can choose a sporty soundtrack that’s in sync with their performance SUV.
Genesis adds its Terrain Modes to make the GV80 Coupe better able to handle a little off-road fun. Drivers can use mud or sand mode if the terrain is tricky. If you encounter icy weather, the snow mode is ready to help keep the GV80 Coupe moving! To learn more, check out this extended review of the new model year.
Safety Features
Whether rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, the GV80 Coupe scored five stars when tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Learn more at NHTSA.
Plus it has an extensive suite of the most important and dynamic driver aids. This assistance is meant to keep the performance SUV out of trouble by watching the front, sides, rear, perimeter, and more.
So, while the performance SUV lets the driver focus on fun, it works constantly to help you stay out of trouble. The best way to experience this new ride is simply to schedule a test drive.
