The new fuel cell concept SUV continues to build on the global brand’s expressive and refined ‘Athletic Elegance’ design direction.
The GV80 Concept is the brand’s first interpretation of a versatile luxury SUV.
“The GV80 Concept is a SUV that alludes to the confidence and evolution of the Genesis brand,” said Genesis design head Luc Donckerwolke.
The front of the GV80 Concept showcases the signature Genesis crest grille proudly presented by the lower grille surround, which establishes a dominant center spine that runs through the length of the vehicle.
The diamond motif mesh grille and wide-set horizontal quad headlamps that encase jewel-like graphics assert the SUV’s powerful stance.
Laser fiber optic technology in the tail lamps produces a Genesis lighting signature at night.
The interior cabin greets passengers with a bridge instrument panel that stretches from door to door creating a welcoming and spacious ambience.
A wide 22-inch curved display set in the instrument panel cascades into the driver’s cluster, which combines the precision of a classic speedometer with the immersive flow of information from a digital display.
The horizontal 22-inch curved OLED infinity display presents two distinct zones, providing separate driver and passenger experiences.
An ash wood lower center console integrates the high-tech controller and polished linear metal inlays with capacitive touch capabilities.
The top of the interactive multi-function controller features a concave gorilla glass touchpad and knurled metal wheel with handwriting recognition.
Through touch control, each metal string allows direct access to the most commonly used functions including Navigation, Entertainment, Communication, and Environment (or customized driver settings).
By tapping these metal strings, passengers gain separate control of a mini-view on the right side of the wide display without disturbing the driver.
The GV80 features exquisite semi-aniline leather interior, with quilted diamond stitching on the interior door panels, seat inserts and center console side.
The meticulously-wrapped rich leather on the upper instrument panel is contrasted with distinctive Architexture suede on the instrument panel bridge.
