Genesis GV80 Coupe: Trims, Generations & Buyer's Guide
Last updated August 4, 2026
The Genesis GV80 Coupe is a two-row midsize luxury SUV with a fastback roofline, standard all-wheel drive, and strong V6 power. It is the more style-focused and driver-focused take on the regular GV80.
The GV80 Coupe has blended SUV usefulness with sleeker styling and a more performance-minded character since its 2025 debut. Comfort and technology remain central to the experience. Every version is already highly equipped, so the lineup focuses on different levels of V6 performance and visual drama rather than stripped-down entry trims.
Strengths
- Every version combines strong V6 power with standard all-wheel drive.
- The cabin emphasizes comfort and technology, with a 27-inch OLED display serving as its centerpiece since the 2025 debut.
- Even the starting trim comes with upscale materials and a broad set of driver-assistance features.
- It remains useful despite its sleek roofline, with 61.1 cubic feet of cargo space in 2026.
- Its 6,000-pound maximum tow rating in 2026 adds real utility.
Who it's for
It suits someone who wants the comfort and everyday usefulness of a luxury SUV but prefers a sleeker shape and a more engaging character. It also makes sense for buyers who want two roomy seating rows rather than a third row and who value generous standard equipment.
Genesis GV80 Coupe lineup
Pick the 3.5T for the core experience: strong twin-turbo V6 power, all-wheel drive, and a high level of luxury equipment. Step up to the 3.5T e-SC MHEV for the stronger 48-volt electrically supercharged V6 and a more performance-focused feel. Since 2026, the e-SC MHEV Prestige Black has added a blacked-out look inside and out for shoppers who want the same stronger powertrain with a darker, more distinctive appearance.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Genesis GV80 Coupe a coupe or an SUV?
It is a two-row luxury SUV with four doors and a sloping fastback roof. The “Coupe” name describes its sportier shape and driver-focused character, not a traditional two-door body.
How is the GV80 Coupe different from the regular GV80?
The GV80 Coupe is the sportier-looking take on the GV80. It has a fastback roofline, two-row seating, standard V6 power, and a more driver-focused personality while keeping a comfort- and technology-rich cabin.
How many people does the GV80 Coupe seat?
The GV80 Coupe seats five people in two rows. Rear passengers get 38.7 inches of legroom, and both rows have heated and ventilated seats across the first-generation lineup.
Is the Genesis GV80 Coupe a hybrid?
It is primarily a gas-powered SUV. Higher-output versions use a 48-volt mild-hybrid system to run an electric supercharger, but every GV80 Coupe still centers on a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6.
Does every GV80 Coupe have all-wheel drive?
Yes. Every first-generation GV80 Coupe pairs standard all-wheel drive with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6.
How much can the GV80 Coupe tow, and how much cargo fits inside?
The GV80 Coupe is rated to tow up to 6,000 pounds and offers up to 61.1 cubic feet of cargo space. That gives it useful SUV capability despite the sloping roof.
How long has the GV80 Coupe been around?
The GV80 Coupe is still in its first generation. It debuted in the U.S. for 2025, and the following model year brought a light update rather than a redesign.
