A few days ago we shared first ever pictures of the Genesis G80 Black prototype. Following in the footsteps of the successful Genesis G90 Black, GV80 Black and GV80 Coupe Black, this upcoming variant of the G80 is set to debut in Korea within the first six months of the new year.
Building on the Black Label Legacy
Genesis has crafted a distinctive identity with its “Black” editions, celebrated for their sophisticated design, exclusive finishes, and meticulous attention to detail. The G90 Black redefined flagship sedans with an air of opulence, while the GV80 Black and GV80 Coupe Black brought this prestige to the SUV segment. Now, the Genesis G80 Black is set to carry forward this legacy in the executive sedan category.
Striking Design: Aesthetic Masterpiece
The Genesis G80 Black will be instantly recognizable thanks to its bold yet refined design language. It will feature a signature blacked-out grille, dark chrome accents, and an exclusive high-gloss black paint finish, so this special edition sedan will exude understated elegance. Custom wheels with a gloss-black finish further will amplify its dynamic stance, while subtle “Black” badging hints at its exclusivity.
Inside, the G80 Black will offer a sanctuary of luxury. The cabin will boast premium materials like quilted Nappa leather, Alcantara headliners, and carbon-fiber trim accents. Custom ambient lighting and embroidered headrests will add bespoke touches, creating an immersive experience for both driver and passengers.
