The next phase for the Genesis brand in Australia has commenced with the arrival of an all-new luxury SUV. The GV80 shrugs off the old family ties with an eye catching style that you would expect from a flagship model.
“Now that Genesis is established in Australia as a maker of high-quality luxury cars, we are delighted to introduce the brand’s first SUV in the form of the all-new GV80,” said CEO of Genesis Motors Australia, Jun Heo.
“With the benefit of the Genesis-To-You concierge service and our all-inclusive ownership experience, the stylish and highly equipped GV80 SUV treats our customers to unprecedented luxury,” he said.
FAN was at the media launch in Canberra during the first days of November and the level of luxury and performance made an impression on the team. We’ll publish our drive impressions on the locally tuned suspension and luxury feel soon. In the meantime, here’s the full specifications and marketing spiel from the Genesis team.
GV80 MODEL RANGE
The Genesis GV80 is offered in four variants, with three powertrains, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, five or seven seats, and an optional Luxury Package.
GV80 2.5T opens the range, featuring an all-new 2.5-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine (224kW & 422Nm), 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.
Standard luxury appointments include a mood-lit cabin with leather and real wood-finished trim, a 14.5-inch HD touchscreen multimedia interface, panoramic sunroof, 20-inch alloy wheels and a power-operated tailgate.
In addition, there are 10 airbags and the Genesis Active Safety Control suite of technologies, including multi-function Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA), Driver Attention Warning (DAW), Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance-Assist (BCA), Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go and Machine Learning functions, and a Surround View Monitor (SVM) with 3D function.
GV80 2.5T AWD pairs the petrol turbo with all-wheel drive, and inside the cabin brings a third row to take seating capacity to seven. GV80 3.0D AWD introduces the refined all-new straight six turbo diesel engine boasting 204kW and a generous 588Nm. The flagship GV80 3.5T AWD is headlined by the all-new, powerhouse 3.5-litre turbo petrol V6 producing 279kW and 530Nm.
The seven-seater 3.0D AWD and 3.5T AWD deliver the enhanced ride and refinement of Road Preview Genesis Adaptive Control Suspension (GACS), and heightened dynamic capability, courtesy of an electro-mechanical limited slip differential (e-LSD) and 22-inch alloy wheels wrapped in bespoke Genesis 265/40 Michelin tyres.
A Luxury Package is offered on each of the four variants and brings features such as Nappa leather trim, a 12.3-inch full screen instrument cluster, three-zone climate control, soft close doors, 18-way power adjustable driver’s seat with Ergo Motion massage function, heated and ventilated 2ndrow seats.
AUSTRALIAN TUNED CHASSIS
The Australian chassis tune for all-new GV80 was “one of the most comprehensive ride and handling programs we’ve put cars through,” said Genesis Product Planning & Development Specialist, Tim Rodgers.
As part of a programme that lasted more than six months, Genesis engineering in Australia was “heavily involved early on, particularly with the dampers,” he said.
“We spent time in Korea for the first portion with very early prototypes and then completed the rest of the tuning in Australia. Ride and handling engineers from headquarters in Korea were embedded with us locally to finalise the tune.”
GV80’s all-new platform and the complexity of the Road Preview Genesis Active Control Suspension in upper GV80 variants gave the development team new challenges, along with the scope to develop a highly dynamically-capable SUV.
“It involved a lot of people and a lot of time,” Rodgers said. “We tuned the hydraulic damping in the same manner as we do for every model, and then there was the electronic portion. Finally, there was the Road Preview tune, which we developed in collaboration with an entirely separate team of engineers who flew in to Sydney from HQ.”
“We benchmarked our key competitors, but in doing so we didn’t really want to create something that was a facsimile of them. We wanted a vehicle that was not only highly capable, but distinctive in character.”
“We’ve honed in on giving GV80 the character we like all of our vehicles to have –supreme comfort along with surprising dynamic ability. And with the platform and technology made available to us, we’ve been able to dial that right up, to an extent we’ve not seen previously with our local tuning programme.”
GV80 has a distinctly sporty side, but not at the expense of comfort or refinement.
“You can put these GV80s in sport mode and just drive them all the time. It was extremely important that sport mode is not tiring.”
“We didn’t want a superficial sportiness where sport mode is definitely harder, but equally is not realistic or useful on most of our roads. You never want to get out of the vehicle and feel exhausted as a result of harsh, hard or noisy characteristics. We think we have done a good job in bypassing the potential fatigue of such setups, while still creating an engaging and sporty drive.”
With this focus, the team of Australian and Korean engineers polished GV80 by spending a large proportion of the development time on challenging gravel roads, as well as on the bumpiest and harshest of bitumen B-roads.
“We believe GV80 feels at home across the broad spectrum of Australian conditions,” said Rodgers.
DRIVING TECHNOLOGY
All-Wheel Drive (with E-LSD in six-cylinder variants)
GV80’s all-wheel drive system provides stable driving performance on slippery or rough roads. Six-cylinder variants adopt an electro-mechanical limited-slip differential (E-LSD) that optimally apportions torque between the rear wheels according to the conditions.
As well as enhancing dynamic on-road performance the E-LSD allows GV80 to apply power and drive away in extreme off-road situations, such as when a diagonally opposite front and rear wheel are not touching the ground.
Road Preview Genesis Adaptive Control Suspension (GACS)
Road Preview Electronic Control Suspension comes standard on six-cylinder variants, it uses GV80’s front camera to detect speed bumps or potholes and then controls damping force to optimise ride comfort and minimise impact.
Drive Mode and Multi-Terrain Mode systems
GV80’s Drive Mode system provides user-selectable settings to suit a range of on-road driving conditions and styles.
GV80 also features a Multi-Terrain Mode system that offers a range of settings suitable for various off-road driving situations, according to the driver’s preference and the prevailing conditions.
The system variously applies integrated control to the AWD system, E_LSD, engine, transmission and brakes to realise optimum performance when driving on sand, mud, snow or rocks.
Visual confirmation of mode selection is provided via pop-up graphics on the cluster and AVN screen.
Integrated Electric Booster (IEB)
An Integrated Electric Booster (IEB) is utilised in GV80 in place of a conventional vacuum brake booster system.
The unit brings a range of benefits, including the ability to provide rapid braking performance and feel without pedal vibration, easy integration with automatic brake control for performing ADAS / autonomous driving functions, and robust failsafe performance.
BODY STRUCTURE
GV80’s body structure is rigid and safe, through the employment of advanced materials, technology and design and manufacturing techniques in its all-new platform. With cabin compartment safety as the top priority, engineers developed a body structure of the utmost rigidity.
As well as providing a high level of crashworthiness, GV80’s strong structure underpins its dynamic on-road handling and off-road driving capability. Body average tensile strength is maximised through the extensive use of advanced high tensile strength steel.
In addition, GV80 features 23 body components manufactured using the hot-stamping process, which increases the ultra-high strength properties of the material by rapid cooling after high-temperature moulding.
Weight savings are achieved through the use of aluminium doors, bonnet and tailgate. Structural rigidity around the sunroof opening is optimised through the development of an integrated ring-reinforcement structure with all-round hemming.
Improved passenger compartment side protection is achieved using an enlarged, integral side reinforcement component around the front and a section of the rear door apertures.
GV80 achieves a highly competitive coefficient of drag of 0.33 through a range of aerodynamic enhancement measures. These include front wheel air curtains and an active air flap, a rear spoiler and side garnish, and the application of undercovers for the front and rear wheels, engine compartment, transmission and centre floor, as well as front and rear wheel deflectors.
NVH-reduction measures in GV80 include improved sound absorbing and insulating for the front bulkhead, cabin underfloor, and rear wheel arches and quarter panels. In addition, GV80 incorporates the latest design of NVH-reducing engine mounts, optimised windscreen and front door glass sealing, and tyre-noise-reducing in-wheel resonators.
POWERTRAINS
A potent and efficient 2.5-litre turbocharged engine produces 224kW and 422Nm in range-opening petrol GV80 variants, teamed with an eight-speed torque converter automatic transmission and a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive.
A dual fuel-injection system (port and direct injection) provides the optimal injection strategy according to the driving conditions and balances robust torque production with fuel use. The 2.5-litre four-cylinder achieves 9.8L/100km on the official combined cycle and powers GV80 from rest to 100km/h in 6.9 seconds.
A split cooling system optimises coolant flow to the cylinder head and engine block to reduce frictional losses as well as knock tendency.
Diesel GV80 is powered by an all-new 3.0-litre turbocharged engine that produces 204kW and 588Nm, paired with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder uses 8.8L/100km on the official combined cycle and powers GV80 from rest to 100km/h in 6.8 seconds.
A variable geometry ball-bearing turbocharger improves boost response through reduced friction (compared with a journal bearing turbocharger).
The flagship GV80 features an all-new powerhouse 3.5-litre turbocharged engine producing 279kW and 530Nm, backed by an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.
A water-to-air intercooler provides improved throttle response compared with an air-to-air unit by shortening the intake air path. The twin-turbo V6 adopts a centre-mounted GDi injector layout to the benefit of both fuel economy and combustion stability. It uses 11.7L/100km on the official combined cycle and powers GV80 from rest to 100km/h in 5.5 seconds.
The range-standard in-house developed eight-speed automatic transmission contributes to GV80’s low NVH through the adoption of a Centrifugal Pendulum Absorber (CPA) that acts in the reverse direction of the engine rotation to offset torsional vibration.
The torque converter unit features a wide gear ratio span for improved fuel economy as well as acceleration, and features paddle-shifter control for sporty driving.
SAFETY
GV80’s highly rigid body structure cocoons occupants with the safety of 10 airbags, including a pioneering centre side airbag, which prevents or reduces injuries caused by head clashes between front occupants in the event of a side collision.
In addition to possessing superb passive safety, every GV80 features an extensive standard suite of advanced Genesis Active Safety Control technologies.
GENESIS ACTIVE SAFETY CONTROL
Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance-Assist – Rear/Side (BCA-R/S)
The BCA-R/S system uses the windshield-mounted camera to monitor GV80’s positioning within the lane, as well as radar sensors on either side of the rear bumper to detect vehicles next to and diagonally behind GV80.
If a vehicle is present in the GV80’s blind spot, BCA-R/S displays an alert in the exterior mirrors and the Head-Up Display (HUD). If the driver activates the corresponding turn signal lights, a flashing warning is provided and an alert is sounded.
The system also scans for vehicles approaching rapidly from the rear, and uses the same warning measures to alert the driver of vehicles approaching at a high speed, which may soon enter GV80’s blind spot. In each instance, if the GV80’s driver does not initiate preventative action BCA-R/S will apply differential braking to prevent or reduce the severity of a potential collision.
Blind-Spot View Monitor
The innovative Blind-Spot View Monitor gives the driver a video image of blind-spot zones when GV80’s indicators are activated.
Driver Attention Warning (DAW) including Leading Vehicle Departure Alert
The Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system uses the windshield-mounted camera to continually monitor the GV80’s position within the lane, whilst also tracking steering inputs, brake pedal inputs, and elapsed driving time.
Should the system detect careless driving (such as sudden steering/braking inputs and/or the inability to keep within a lane), the ‘Attention Level’ display in the instrument cluster will be progressively engaged. Should the level decrease below a pre-set threshold, the DAW system will recommend that the driver takes a break.
The system features Leading Vehicle Departure Alert, which monitors the vehicle ahead when GV80 is stopped in traffic. If the vehicle drives off, and the GV80 driver fails to accelerate away, the system will sound a chime to alert the driver.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-Car/Pedestrian (FCA-Car/Ped/Cyc w/ JT/JC, LO/LS & ESA)
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-Car/Pedestrian/Cyclist system, when active, utilises the front radar sensor and windshield-mounted camera to detect and monitor vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists in front of GV80.
If a potential collision is detected, the system’s Forward Collision Warning (FCW) function will sound a warning chime and display a warning in the instrument cluster or Head-Up Display (HUD).
Where driver intervention is not detected after a FCW system warning, the FCA system will automatically apply the vehicle’s brakes and/or engage Evasive Steering Assist to avoid or reduce the severity of a potential collision.
In addition, the FCA-JT/JC function detects oncoming vehicles in an adjacent lane when preparing to make a right turn at a junction, as well as vehicles in a perpendicular lane when preparing to cross an intersection and, in the event a collision appears likely, applies the brakes to stop GV80.
The FCA-LO/LS function assists through corrective steering input in the event a collision appears likely with oncoming vehicles in an adjacent lane or, in lane-change and lane-departure situations, vehicles approaching in the same direction in an adjacent lane.
High Beam Assist (HBA)
Using the windshield-mounted camera, the High Beam Assist (HBA) system scans the road ahead, monitoring for street lights as well as any other lights, including headlights of oncoming vehicles as well as taillights of vehicles ahead. Upon detection the system automatically adjusts headlight range, switching between high and low beam.
Lane Keeping Assist – Line/Road-Edge (LKA-L/R)
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA-L/R) uses the windshield-mounted camera to detect lane markings and/or the edge of the road and monitor the vehicle’s position in the lane.
Should the vehicle stray from the intended lane without the turn signals being activated, a visual alert will be issued in the instrument cluster and Head-Up Display (HUD), along with a haptic (steering vibration) alert. LKA-L/R is momentarily deactivated whenever the turn signals or hazard lights are active.
Lane Following Assist
Lane Following Assist helps keep GV80 centred in a lane by detecting lane markers as well as the position of vehicles ahead, and adding minor steering adjustments as required.
Multi-Collision Brake (MCB)
The Multi-Collision Brake system operates to prevent or reduce the severity of a secondary collision. The system is activated after the airbags have deployed and, where brake or accelerator pedal input is not detected, applies the brakes to bring GV80 safely to a stop.
Pre-active Seat Belt (PSB) – front seats
Providing further occupant protection, the Pre-Active Seat Belt (PSB) system works in tandem with other active safety technologies to detect collision risks.
Events such as rapid brake application, aggressive change of direction or activation of the FCA system, will trigger PSB to tighten both driver and front passenger seat belts, limiting longitudinal and lateral movement for maximum safety. For further convenience, the PSB system will take up any slack in the belt if required, after it is fastened.
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance-Assist (RCCA)
The Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance-Assist (RCCA) system monitors for traffic approaching on either side of the vehicle when reversing out of perpendicular parking spaces, using the rear view camera and rear ultrasonic sensors. Should RCCA detect a vehicle approaching, a warning will be displayed in the instrument cluster and a beep will sound. If the risk of collision increases even after the warning, braking will be initiated automatically.
Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)
The Rear Occupant Alert system monitors the rear seats using an ultrasonic sensor to detect the movements of the rear occupants. ROA reminds drivers to check the rear seats when exiting the vehicle and, if the system detects movement in the rear seats after the driver has left the vehicle it will sound the horn.
Safe Exit Assist (SEA)
The Safe Exit Assist (SEA) system monitors the vehicle’s surroundings and provides warnings to improve the safety of occupants exiting the vehicle. SEA utilises radar sensors on either side of the rear bumper to detect vehicles approaching from the rear, and is active when the vehicle is stopped.
If one of GV80’s doors is opened while an approaching vehicle is detected, the system will sound an alert and display a warning in the instrument cluster. The system also prevents the rear doors from opening if the driver unlocks the electronic child safety lock, to let the rear occupants out, when the car has detected an approaching car.
Smart Cruise Control with Machine Learning (SCC w/ ML)
Smart Cruise Control automatically maintains a safe following distance during cruise control driving, by using the front radar sensor to monitor the speed and distance of vehicles ahead. The Stop & Go function works in stop/start traffic, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop when appropriate, and automatically (if within three seconds) accelerating it back up to the original set speed.
If the vehicle is stationary for more than three seconds, SCC will prompt the driver to continue the Smart Cruise Control conditions by pressing the steering wheel resume switch, or by depressing the accelerator pedal. In addition, Machine-Learning (ML) technology is incorporated to provide comfortable operation of the SCC system by mimicking the driver’s acceleration and following-distance tendencies.
Surround View Monitor (SVM) with 3D surround view function
The Surround View Monitor (SVM) system provides a 360° view of the vehicle and any potential obstacles, utilising a pantoscopic camera at each side of the vehicle and a state-of-the-art system algorithm.
The SVM system allows the driver to select from top, front, rear, side and a new adjustable 3D surround viewing mode, where the driver can rotate the view of a 3D rendering of the vehicle and nearby objects, all designed to maximise confidence during low-speed manoeuvres.
When reversing, dynamic guidelines are displayed on the screen to help the driver steer GV80 into tight spaces. The SVM system automatically operates when reversing and can be conveniently switched on during low-speed driving.

Intelligent Front-Lighting System (IFS)
The Intelligent Front-lighting System in GV80 Luxury Package allows the continuous use of the high-beam headlights without risk of dazzling the occupants of vehicles in front, by utilising LEDs with individually controlled dimming. These headlights ‘paint’ oncoming vehicles with a blackout zone to automatically reduce glare for oncoming drivers while maintaining full beam visibility on the road ahead.
12.3-inch full screen Instrument Cluster with 3D function
A world-first 12.3-inch stereoscopic cluster headlines in GV80 Luxury Package versions, featuring the ability to recognise drivers’ eyes and present various driving information in three dimensions.
Road-Noise Active Noise Control (RANC)
GV80 Luxury Package versions are equipped with RANC, a world-first noise-cancellation technology. The system uses an acceleration sensor to monitor road vibrations, which are rapidly analysed (in as little as 0.002sec) by the RANC controller. The unit then uses a Digital Signal Processor to generate a noise-cancelling inverted soundwave.
The RANC system can provide separate, tailored noise-cancelling for the driver’s seat, the passenger seat, and the rear seats.
Smart Parking Assist (SPA)
When manoeuvring into and out of tight parking spaces, the Smart Parking Assist system in GV80 Luxury provides automated steering, accelerator and gear-shift control to reduce driver effort.
