2024 Genesis GV80 Coupe coming with facelift due next year

The 2024 Genesis GV80 luxury SUV is thanks for a mid-life facelift in the subsequent 12 months – which spy images suggest will involve a sportier-hunting ‘Coupe’ variant.

Pictures published to South Korean social-media web-site Autospy display a greatly-camouflaged GV80 with a far more spectacular sloping rear roofline, very similar to the BMW X6, Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, and other ‘coupe’ versions of substantial luxurious SUVs.

The camouflage across the relaxation of the automobile – and noticeable variations to bumpers, lights and wheels that poke by – indicate the new entire body design is due to get there with the mid-daily life update for Genesis’ most significant SUV to date.

Based mostly on the timing of individuals images, the facelifted GV80 might be unveiled in advance of the end of this yr – but it is not envisioned to get there in Australian showrooms until next 12 months.

The slope of the roofline – and notable lip spoiler on the edge of the tailgate – of the spied prototype is really equivalent to the scale product found in the 2021 video clip.

If its rivals – and the angle of the rear roofline – are a tutorial, the GV80 Coupe may well reduce its third row of seating, and turn into a 5-seater only.

The coupe prototype previews some of the improvements to appear with the vast GV80 range’s mid-daily life update, such as a new entrance grille style and design, upgraded matrix LED headlights encouraged by the abroad G90 limousine, tweaked tail-mild graphics, and what look to be new alloy wheels.

The prototype’s inside was also photographed – but it is really hard to convey to if there have been any changes, as the cabin is largely lined in black cloth.

But the crimson seatbelts and stitching, black leather seats and carbon-fibre-seem trim on the doorway panels counsel the facelift might introduce a GV80 Activity variant, very similar to the GV70, G70 and G80 versions.

This product could also insert rear-wheel steering – as for each the G80 Sport sedan – and revised tuning for the vehicle’s suspension and steering systems.

The existing GV80 variety is driven by a selection of 224kW/422Nm 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol, 204kW/588Nm 3.-litre inline 6-cylinder turbo-diesel, and 279kW/530Nm 3.5-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 engines.

The 2024 Genesis GV80 facelift is expected to be uncovered toward the stop of this calendar year – which would correlate to Australian showroom arrivals commencing up coming year. It continues to be to be found if the Coupe model is offered in Australia.
