The GV80 Coupé is sculptured into a classic gentlemen’s tourer by experienced hands, but beautiful looks does not a perfect car make.

Can the GV80 Coupé possibly live up to the standards that decades of clever marketing from Europeans have set, for it is they that are the opposition. Genesis has done in on generation of cars what it took Lexus 30 years to do.
The arrival of the 2025 GV80 range heralded the death of the diesel and 2.5L petrol, leaving only the silky twin turbo V6 petrol. The 2.5L petrol was unpopular, and the diesels were difficult to make clean. The 8-speed automatic connects to all 4 wheels for good grip, aided by drive modes. The GV80 Coupe gets Sport+ in addition to addition to Eco, Comfort, Sport, and MY. Sport+ instils drama by turning off the traction control, and off-road drama is aided by modes for dirt, sand and mud. GV80 isn’t a rock crawler.
A trip to the toasty warm bosom of the cottage compound takes 2 hours. Those 2 hours frequently feel interminable in cars with seats like park benches. The Genesis is as far from that, with its massage seats that heat, cool and recline, including the rear seats. While the wagon gets 7 or 6 seats, the Coupé has 5. The sloping rear roof would never allow headspace for even the cosiest of 3rd rows.
