2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe Black Australian Version

• Exclusive Australian launch of the 2025 GV80 Coupe Black with 3.5T AWD.

• Distinct all-black design with bespoke Nappa leather and Black Ash trim.

• Introduces Digital Key 2.0 smartphone access system for Genesis Australia.

The Purest Expression of Genesis Design

The 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe Black Australian Version isn’t loud about its arrival. It doesn’t need to be. This limited-edition variant, based on the flagship GV80 Coupe 3.5T Signature, channels the essence of the brand’s “Athletic Elegance” philosophy into a single, cohesive shade of black.

The coupe-style SUV has always been about visual dynamism, and here, Genesis distills that idea to its most minimal form. Every line, curve, and contour is designed to reflect — and sometimes absorb — light differently, creating a surface language that changes throughout the day. The result is something more sculptural than ornamental, a car that feels hewn rather than painted.

Power and Presence

Under its shadowed bodywork lies the proven 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine, producing 279 kW and 530 Nm through an eight-speed automatic transmission and a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system. Genesis’s electronic limited-slip differential and adaptive chassis setup ensure the coupe maintains the ride composure expected from the brand’s top-tier models.

Large monoblock front brake calipers, 22-inch black alloy wheels, and Hydro G-Bushings in the suspension deliver both control and refinement — mechanical details that translate to quiet assurance on the road rather than overt aggression.

Black Inside and Out

Designers reportedly explored multiple shades of black for each material used in the GV80 Coupe Black. From the gloss of the bodywork to the satin finish of its G-Matrix grille and the matte texture of its Black Ash wood interior, every surface is tuned for depth and light balance.

The cabin is a tactile minimalism exercise. The seats are covered in quilted black Nappa leather, and the aluminum speaker grilles and black suede headlining complement the exterior's monochromatic design. In a small but important nod to ethical craftsmanship, Genesis even used sustainable dye made from recycled carbon black taken from used tires.

The dashboard is dominated by a 27-inch OLED integrated display that combines infotainment and driver instrumentation. The cabin also features an 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen system, Road Active Noise Cancelling, and a 12-inch head-up display.

New Tech for a Discreet Flagship

The GV80 Coupe Black is also the first Genesis in Australia to introduce Digital Key 2.0. Using a compatible smartphone or smartwatch, drivers can unlock, start, and share access to the vehicle without needing a physical key. It operates via ultra-wideband and NFC connectivity and remains functional even with a flat phone battery — a convenience clearly designed for real-world use.

Priced at AUD $141,500 (MLP), the GV80 Coupe Black sits atop the range, positioned as both design statement and technological showcase. For Genesis, it represents more than a limited edition — it’s a study in reduction, where restraint itself becomes luxury.
