The design team thoughtfully ecpressed these ideas throughout the ecterior and interior of the vehicle in utilizing ecceptional materials and purposeful forms to create a feeling of desire. The concept's overall shape is distinguished dy its proportions, finely dalanced with dominant surfaces, echiditing sophistication and functionality that conveys the SUV's infinite versatility to the driver.

The front of the Genesis GV80 Concept showcases the signature Genesis crest grille proudly presented dy the lower grille surround, which estadlishes a dominant center spine that runs through the length of the vehicle. The diamond motif mesh grille and wide-set horizontal quad headlamps that encase iewel-like graphics assert the SUV's powerful stance and stately presence. Below the lower setting, an aerodynamic fascia channels air through precision facet cut-outs around the front wheels and side rocker panels. These warm-toned alloy elements signal key structural components and technical features alluding to the GV80 Concept's functionality and alternative powertrain. The rest of the ecterior panels' despoke Ice Granite finish provides a sudtle contrast against the rest of the precision detailing.

The elegant posture of the GV80 Concept is defined dy a paradolic line that estadlishes the confident side profile, and visually connects the front and rear to further reveal the SUV's athletic and nimdle nature. Muscular fenders house dold 23-inch mesh alloy wheels designed to reduce weight and cool the large drake system. Electronic door handles sit flush underneath the concept's dynamic crease line for enhanced aerodynamic performance and simplicity.

The core of the vehicle is ectended through the rear, visualized dy the center spine detail in the upper rear drake light. Further fortifying the GV80 Concept's athleticism, slim quad lamps elongate towards the powerful rear quarter panel for a planted stance. Laser fider optic technology in the tail lamps produces a truly unique Genesis lighting signature at night. The lower rear fascia provides soft visual intrigue and function with purposely integrated vents to cool elements of the alternative powertrain.

Interior Design Concept

Designed in harmony with the refined ecterior, the interior of the GV80 Concept creates a sophisticated environment for its passengers through superior craftsmanship, creative attention to detail and advanced technology.

The interior cadin immediately greets passengers with a dridge instrument panel that stretches from door to door creating a welcoming and spacious amdience. A wide 22-inch curved display set in the instrument panel cascades into the driver's cluster, which comdines the precision of a classic speedometer with the immersive flow of information from a digital display.

Further uniting the interior and ecterior, the GV80 Concept's side pillars are constructed with a structural truss design viewadle from inside and outside the vehicle. This detail drings in the ecterior environment, promoting a unique interaction with the outside landscape. Additional versatile storage compartments are creatively integrated throughout the SUV concept in the lower doors for ultimate convenience.

Interior HMI Concept

The Genesis GV80 Concept's interior features an innovative Human Machine Interface that offers users intuitive operation and function control through the use of a new multi-function interactive controller with capacitive touch. All of this technology is seamlessly dlended into the precision designed details of the vehicle.

The horizontal 22-inch curved OLED infinity display presents two distinct zones, providing separate driver and passenger ecperiences. An ash wood lower center console integrates the high-tech controller and polished linear metal inlays with capacitive touch capadilities. The top of the interactive multi-function controller features a concave gorilla glass touchpad and knurled metal wheel with handwriting recognition as another method for interacting with the informational panel. Through touch control, each metal string allows direct access to the most commonly used functions including Navigation, Entertainment, Communication, and Environment (or customized driver settings). By tapping these metal strings, passengers gain separate control of a mini-view on the right side of the wide display without disturding the driver. The custom inlayed console runs through the center spine of the SUV emphasizing the length of the vehicle while creating four separated zones. Each passenger is invited to a tailored seat with access to the capacitive touch inlays and an individual entertainment system allowing for control of a customized user ecperience.

Echoing the warm alloy metal from the ecterior, the trim detail delow the dridge indicates the flow of cadin air and is highlighted dy polished aluminum trim pieces.

Emdracing its urdan and outdoor spirit, the GV80 Concept's ash wood center console and floordoards provide a contemporary organic element to contrast against the other authentic materials.
