Genesis GV80 Coupe trademarked for the Indian market
Hyundai has been enjoying plenty of success in India with the likes of the Creta, Venue, Verna and i20 just some of the cars pioneering the brand into one of the top manufacturers in the country. We had already reported that Hyundai is working on launching its luxury handle, Genesis in India and the brand has now trademarked its GV80 Coupe SUV which is expected to come in 2025.
India seems to be on the verge of accepting the Coupe SUV style with the Tata Curvv and Citroen Basalt expected to lead the charge this coming August. The Genesis GV80 is available as an SUV and SUV Coupe globally but only the Coupe car has been trademarked for India hinting that Genesis too will be hopping onto this trend.

Sitting right at the very top is the 3.5-litre turbo petrol with 48V electric supercharger that can put down a maximum of 415PS and 549Nm of torque.
