Genesis GV80 Coupe Trademarked In India

The Genesis GV80 Coupe SUV design has recently been trademarked for the Indian market.

The Genesis GV80 Coupe combines the quintessential Genesis looks with the coupe-esque silhouette, making its entry to the wildly stylish SUVs like the BMW X6, Audi Q8 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe. The Coupe SUV body style is on the rise in the Indian market with new introductions like the Citroen Basalt, Tata Curvv and even the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe. The unique bodystyle will help Genesis to set a halo product into the market before rolling out the more customer-centric offerings.

In addition to the stylish exterior, the Genesis GV80 Coupe also offers tech-savvy interior, featuring a 27-inch wide OLED screen, crystal-like gear selector with shift by wire, advanced driving assistance systems and more. Globally, the Genesis GV80 Coupe comes with three engine options — a 2.5-litre turbocharged petrol, a 3.5-litre turbocharged petrol and the same 3.5-litre engine with 48V supercharger. The supercharged engine produces the maximum output of 415PS and 549Nm of torque.
