The 2025 GV80 Coupe Black: A Luxury Class That Dominates Imported Cars!
Hello, I’m Double Look, an automotive influencer.
Recently, I visited the Genesis showroom and saw the GV80 Coupe Black.
I felt that it is more luxurious and stylish than any other Black Edition.
It’s also our dream car,
so today, I will share various information, including the GV80 Coupe’s design and the actual purchase price after the reduction in various taxes.
The GV80 Coupe: A Luxury Class SUV from a Domestic Premium Brand!
The GV80 Coupe combines the grandeur of a mid-size SUV with a coupe style,
emerging as a dark horse in a market previously dominated by the BMW X6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.
In October 2024, Genesis launched the Black Edition,
which received praise for offering an upgraded luxury class and broader choices for customers.
The Black Edition features a unique grill, bumper garnish, lettering, 22-inch exclusive wheels, roof rack, and differentiated interior design,
drawing significant attention from those who prioritize style.
The Black Edition of GENESIS includes the G90, GV80 & GV80 Coupe,
and recently the G80, enhancing the luxury feel with changes in design and options.
Although it launched with full options, leading to some controversy over its high price,
its design and option configuration have received high praise for their value for money.
I recommend this model, especially for those considering a vehicle for official use.
Many people choose large sedans or SUVs from Mercedes or BMW for official vehicles,
but many businesspeople in Korea prefer domestic cars for various reasons.
For those individuals, I recommend the calm and organized feel of Genesis's Black Edition.

Let’s also check the estimated price for the 2025 GV80 Coupe BLACK Gasoline Turbo 3.5 AWD 5-seater.
Base price: 1,030,000 KRW (roughly $775,000 USD based on a 3.5% individual consumption tax)
Acquisition Tax: 65,600 KRW (approximately $49 USD)
Bond Discount: 2,800 KRW (about $2.10 USD)
=> Estimated actual purchase price: 1,009,500 KRW (about $757,000 USD, including additional costs)
Currently, with the reduction of the individual consumption tax from 5% to 3.5%, you can purchase it for about 152,000 KRW (approximately $115 USD) less.
If you add recommended options like augmented reality navigation with Built-in Cam 2 (850,000 KRW or about $635 USD) and a panoramic sunroof (1,400,000 KRW or about $1,050 USD), the estimated actual purchase price would be around 1,108,500 KRW (approximately $834,000 USD).
Considering the vehicle's height, if you have children, it might be good to add the side step option (fixed 490,000 KRW or about $370 USD, electric 2,450,000 KRW or about $1,850 USD).
How does it compare to competing models imported from Germany?
The Genesis GV80 Coupe Black compares favorably to the BMW X6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe,
offering similar driving performance (max power, max torque, etc.), while being priced about 20 to 30 million KRW (approximately $15,000 to $22,500 USD) lower depending on options.
Of course, personal taste in design varies,
and individual judgment on brand value differs, so a simple price comparison is challenging.
However, after test-driving all models and gaining sufficient experience,
I find the GENESIS GV80 COUPE to be more practical compared to competing models.
Business owners and executives currently operating in Korea have a lower aversion to the GENESIS brand,
making it a suitable choice for business vehicles.
Most importantly, every individual or business has different needs when selecting a vehicle.
The launch of the Genesis GV80 Coupe Black offers significant options in a mid-size coupe SUV market that was previously split between the BMW X6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.
This development is quite meaningful.
The luxurious design of the Black Edition and its calm, organized feel as a mid-size SUV make it a model my spouse and I are considering for both business and golf outings.
We are contemplating whether to purchase it during the period of the 3.5% reduction in individual consumption tax to save over 150,000 KRW (approximately $115 USD).
The 2025 GV80 Coupe Black has an estimated actual purchase price ranging from around 1,030,000 KRW (approximately $775,000 USD) to 1,200,000 KRW (about $900,000 USD) depending on the powertrain and trim.
However, if you have plans for significant expenditures, such as business funding or housing purchases, this amount may feel burdensome.
For those individuals, I recommend the new car leasing or long-term rental options from KS Autoplan, which allow you to utilize a vehicle without the initial cost burden.
allowing them to find and present the lowest usage fees tailored to the conditions of customers or businesses.
KS Autoplan also conducts competitive bidding for dealer discounts, so if you have a desired imported vehicle, it’s a good idea to get a quote and compare it with other companies’ conditions before making a final decision.
and see if your desired vehicle is available while also receiving real-time quotes.
You can easily apply for quotes on the website,
and receive them quickly without delay during weekdays or weekends.
