First Motors, the official Genesis dealer in Bahrain, launched the Genesis GV80 Facelift and the all-new GV80 Coupe in May at its showroom. Genesis’ leadership, Omar Al-Zubaidi, CEO of Genesis Middle East and Africa, and Rami Al-Salih, Head of Sales and Marketing of Genesis Middle East and Africa unveiled the models that promise to redefine automotive luxury.
The GV80, Genesis’ flagship SUV, has set a high standard in luxury since its debut in January 2020, with over 170,000 units sold globally. The GV80 Facelift, the first model change in over three years, introduces new convenience features enhancing comfort and safety. The GV80 Coupe, inspired by the GV80 Coupe Concept, blends dynamic design with advanced technology and a powerful 3.5-litre gasoline turbo 48V electric supercharger engine.
“The introduction of the GV80 Facelift and the GV80 Coupe represents an exciting chapter for Genesis in Bahrain,” said Nawaf Al Zayani, Managing Director of First Motors. “These vehicles encapsulate luxury, innovation, and performance, setting new standards in the luxury automotive market.”
The redesigned GV80 SUV boasts a refined exterior with a double mesh crest grille and signature headlamps featuring MLA (Micro Lens Array) technology. Enhancements such as larger air intakes and a wide skid plate amplify its athletic persona. The interior, following Genesis’ Beauty of White Space philosophy, integrates a 27-inch OLED display and a touch-based HVAC system, complemented by luxurious materials like Nappa leather seats and real wood trim.
The GV80 Coupe, the epitome of Genesis’ “Athletic Elegance” philosophy, combines sporty design with high performance. It features MLA-powered LED headlamps, a double-layered G-Matrix grille, and an expanded air intake. The sleek profile, coupled with 20 and 22-inch wheels, adds a bold presence. Inside, the two-tone D-cut steering wheel, carbon garnish patterns, and coupe-specific stitching enhance the high-performance feel.
The GV80 offers two powertrain options: a 2.5 turbo petrol engine with 304hp and a 3.5 turbo petrol engine with 380hp. The GV80 Coupe also features a 3.5 turbo petrol 48V electric supercharger engine with 415hp. Advanced driving technologies like Preview Electronic Control Suspension and noise-absorbing materials ensure a smooth, quiet ride.
Both models come equipped with advanced features such as a Digital Center Mirror, Hands-On Detection, and a range of convenience features including a Fingerprint Authentication System and a Bang & Olufsen sound system. Safety is paramount, with both models featuring 10 airbags and an upgraded ADAS system to ensure safe and comfortable journeys.
With outstanding performance, refined interiors, and cutting-edge technology, the redesigned GV80 and the all-new GV80 Coupe set new benchmarks in luxury and performance.
