The vehicle was leaked in 3D on October 2019[3] and officially unveiled in January 2020 as the first SUV for the Genesis brand.[4] It is a collaborative effort between Genesis design teams in Korea, Europe, and the United States.[5] Built on a new rear-wheel-drive architecture, the doors, hood, and tailgate are made out of weight-saving aluminum.[6]
The GV80 is available with three powertrains, a turbocharged 2.5-liter unit with 304 PS (224 kW; 300 hp), a turbocharged 3.5-liter unit with 380 PS (279 kW; 375 hp), and a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel with 278 PS (204 kW; 274 hp) horsepower, which will only be available in select markets.[7]
It features a navigation-based smart cruise control (ASCC), remote smart parking assist, an NFC digital key, an around view monitor (AVM), 22-inch wheels, Nappa leather seating, a 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment display with the 21-speakers Lexicon audio system, electric side curtains, and driver-controlled second and third row seating.[8]
The safety system includes ten airbags, forward collision-avoidance assist, reverse parking collision-avoidance assist, driver attention warning, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, automatic high beam assist, and lane keep assist (LKAS).
The car gained extra attention after golfer Tiger Woods severely crashed a GV80 on February 23, 2021, and was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Additionally, basketball player Terrence Clarke was driving a GV80 when he was killed in a crash on April 22, 2021 while not wearing a seatbelt.
