GENESIS GV80 BLACK, GV80 COUPE BLACK: THE PUREST BLACK
SEOUL, Dec. 12, 2024 — As the latest additions to the Genesis Black family, the GV80 Black and the GV80 Coupe Black come closer to the aesthetic purity that defines the brand’s dark-black color theme.
Here’s how they stand out from their base models.
The Purest Black
Both the GV80 Black and the GV80 Coupe Black confidently removed their model names and trim emblems in the rear, replacing them with dark-metallic “GENESIS” lettering. The harmonious integration of exterior decoration elements under the black tone and manner not only redirects attention to Genesis’ signature arch-type Parabolic Line sweeping across the voluminous body but also enhances the delivery of “Athletic Elegance," the brand's design philosophy.
Inside the cabins, the interior materials, each with unique textures and light reflectance, are expertly combined in black, delivering peace, comfort and tranquility. Behind this harmony stands Genesis’ rigorous efforts and advanced technology to coordinate the different shades of black — a color that, by nature, absorbs light differently by materials.
The GV80 Black and the GV80 Coupe Black feature interior designs that enhance their exclusivity, including real wood garnishes and quilted leather seats, which are accentuated by black suede materials, black aluminum speaker grilles and black door steps.
To promote the virtuous cycle of resources, the leather seats, door trims and quilted rear seats have all been dyed with recycled carbon black extracted from waste tires.
The distinctive black accents of Genesis Black are even applied to smaller details like switches, the shift-by-wire (SBW) system and Smart Key.
2025 GV80, GV80 Coupe: Elevated Ride Comfort
Aside from the Genesis Black models, both the GV80 and GV80 Coupe have undergone product upgrades for the 2025 model year.
The most significant change in the 2025 GV80 and GV80 Coupe is the improved ride comfort, due largely to the application of a new type of hydro bushings in the front suspension, dubbed “Hydro G-Bushing.” The hydro bushings minimize vibrations and jolts on the road, providing a much more serene driving experience than before.
Hydro G-Bushings, which have been applied to the rear suspensions of the GV80 and the GV80 Coupe since 2023, encapsulate fluid within the bushings to create flow paths that absorb external vibrations more effectively. This results in greater damping force against specific frequencies (vibrations) compared to conventional rubber bushings, leading to better ride comfort.
Another notable upgrade of the 2025 GV80 and GV80 Coupe is the refined emotional quality, evident through the integration of sophisticated Genesis-specific alert sounds in advanced driver assistance systems such as Parking Distance Warning (PDW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW).
The expanded use of leather on the lower trim of the B-pillar further emphasizes the brand’s commitment to luxurious details.
In terms of convenience, the Digital Key 2 now allows access to both the front and rear doors, boosting practicality in various scenarios, such as unlocking the door to retrieve items from the back seat or permitting a rear passenger to enter first when the door is locked.
