• Genesis has introduced the GV80 Black and GV80 Coupe Black models in Korea.
  • Both SUV models feature a dark design with black accents inside and out.
  • It’s unclear if the GV80 Black models will be available in markets outside Korea.

Over the years, we’ve lost count of how many automakers have introduced “Black Editions” of their models. However, Genesis stands out with an honorable mention for its new GV80 Black and GV80 Coupe Black, which both sport an eye-catching, truly dark-themed design.

These SUVs aren’t Genesis’ first foray into Black Editions, as they follow the flagship G90 Black sedan, which debuted in Korea in March 2024.

The black exterior is enhanced by matching accents on the grille, bumper intakes, emblems, roof racks, and bumper moldings, with the dark metallic Genesis lettering on the tailgate adding to the overall effect. Even the headlight bezels are finished in black, keeping distractions from other colors to a minimum.

Both the GV80 and the GV80 Coupe ride on a set of 22-inch alloy wheels finished in – you guessed it – glossy black. The Korean brand says the black floating center caps are unique to the Genesis Black vehicles, bringing a little touch of Rolls-Royce magic.

The dark theme extends to the interior, where black finishes adorn the knobs, switches, and glass accents. The quilted leather upholstery, premium floor mats, and headliner all feature the same black finish. A particularly cool touch is the wood garnish, which appears on the dashboard, center console, and door panels.

The GV80 has been upgraded for the 2025 model year as part of a mid-lifecycle update, coinciding with the debut of the GV80 Coupe. Besides the mild exterior tweaks focused on the redesigned bumpers, the SUV benefits from a refreshed interior with a sleek 27-inch OLED display.

Genesis has yet to confirm whether the GV80 Black and GV80 Coupe Black will be available with every powertrain option. It’s also unclear if these models will be exclusive to Koreaor if they will be offered in other markets as well.
