As per the automaker, “ The GV80 Coupe Concept’s front fascia sports the Double G-Matrix Patterned Crest Grille surrounded by quad lights, which have evolved from multi-lens array technology to seamless light performance. Cooling is optimized by four slots within the bumper that reduce shadowed thermal flow .”
The company did not disclose the powertrain configuration of the GV80 concept till now. The coupe concept used in GV80 is said to get inspired by the X Speedium Coupe concept. GV80 was already considered a posh SUV and now this new version with coupe styling will surely be stealing the hearts of many. The design of the GV80 Coupe concept includes a grippy sports steering wheel with a three-spoke design, and standard seats have been replaced with individual bucket seats with carbon-filled shells. The seats are trimmed in Alcantara and with bright orange detailing.
The images showed the bright orange color used throughout which is dubbed as Magma. According to Genesis, Magma symbolizes the self-confident and passionate attitude of its home market of Korea. Two LED lines also run across the rear of the GV80. Most of the attention is on the chopped-down rear while the headlights appear to have been slightly slimmed down too. Also, the G-matrix strut brace is used at rare for extra rigidity.
Genesis didn’t reveal when the GV80 Coupe will be launched for sale in the markets but it is expected to be soon.
