Since Genesis was upgraded from simply a model of car in the Hyundai line-up to a full brand in itself, they have been slowly filling out their catalogue with luxury vehicles that sport a unique look. Taking it’s styling cues from the G80 sedan, the ‘V’ in the GV80 name represents versatility, essentially meaning it’s an SUV version of the G80.
