The Genesis GV80 gets a version of the new G90 grille.
Genesis, after breaking news with its new G90 sedan at the Los Angeles Auto Show, got scooped by a sharp-eyed car-enthusiast Instagram poster. Allcarnews grabbed this shot (above) of the new Genesis GV80 SUV, which will compete with the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7. It does share the new G90 face, which could be good or bad, depending on your taste.
We don’t know too much about the new SUV, but we can make some guesses. The 365-hp Hyundai/Kia/Genesis twin-turbo V6 will surely make an appearance, as well as a turbocharged four-cylinder. We’ll also get some form of hybrid and certainly all-wheel drive. The GV80 will ride on the rear-drive platform that will underpin the next G80 sedan.
The poster definitely had good access to whatever testing or prepping facility the vehicle was at. What’s weird is that some are blurry and look like they’re zoomed in from far away, but then some are up close and personal with good quality. That’s the nature of spy shots, we suppose.
Here’s a look at Genesis’ new riff on instrumentation, too; the luxury brand will be sharing less with Hyundai as time goes on. We can see a gear shift selector knob, two knobs that look like climate control and a large display screen on the dash.
We’ll see the Genesis GV80 in the sheetmetal next year. Check out the rest of the spy shots below.
Genesis GV80 LEAKS ?? ______________________________________ [12/1/19] Happy December everyone, Genesis is a monster about to emerge and the new GV80 is going to shake up the midsized luxury SUV segment! Now that they have autonomy from Hyundai, Genesis has been hard working on their own infotainments, switchgear, fonts, design and unique components ONLY to the Genesis brands! Their first product to feature this is the upcoming GV80 SUV that will tackle the X5, XC90, GLE, MDX and other SUV’s of that class! The GV80 is based on a RWD chassis derived from the upcoming all new G80 sedan and frankly looks stunning, almost like a Bentayga met the XC90 and created a beast! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ? @Allcarnews Spec Sheet: The RWD/AWD GV80 SUV should pack a 3.3L TT V6 currently making 365HP but my sources say it will be revised to produce more power. Other engines could include a base n/a V6 and possibly a turbo-4 as well. Definitely expect a PHEV version in the future as well. ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Many call Genesis a failure but no one points to their first true lineup yet to be (very soon) released consisting of the ground up new G80 sedan, the facelifted G90, the all new GV80 SUV, the upcoming G70 SUV, a facelifted G70 sedan, and a limited electric supercar in partnership with Rimac! The GV80 features split strip LED lights front and back with a new G-Matrix Genesis grille, and a radical interior design! The interior van be optioned with things like quilted leather, massaging seats and all the hands down best driver assistance systems that even give Tesla’s Autopilot a fun for its money in most conditions. The unique interior design with the horizontal steeringwheel, custom switch gear, integrated infotainment, digital dash and more offer a fresh look on a segment with interiors that have been around for ages… cough cough BMW. It is set to go on sale in the US Summer 2020 too! ________________________________________ ACN EXTRA: Super excited for the REAL Genesis!________________________________________ Text by @allcarnews #Genesis #GV80 #GV70 #Hyundai #korean #SUV #V6 #V8 #G80 #Stinger #carbon ||#powerful #performance
