Genesis GV80 VS GV80 COUPE

What's The Difference Between The GV80 and the GV80 Coupe?

While the Genesis GV80 and the Genesis GV80 Coupe are similar luxury midsize SUVs, there are many key differences to be aware of. First is that the GV80 Coupe is a more performance-oriented version of the conventional GV80. The Coupe version has a more aggressive, sporty design aesthetic. In fact, the main difference you may notice when simply looking at these two vehicles is the much lower, sloping roofline that the GV80 Coupe has. This sloped roofline is what gives the GV80 Coupe its sportier look and feel compared to the conventional GV80. Instead of the aggressive sporty look, the conventional GV80 prioritizes passenger space and practicality. This is showcased by the available third-row seating that seats up to 7 passengers on the GV80. This third-row is a feature that you won't find on the coupe version.
