A new safety video was uploaded to Hyundai's YouTube channel, which seems to feature their GV concept. Its not all that interesting as it just demonstrates vehicle safety systems but there have been some changes from the original concept that we saw back in 2017. Sculpting on the side profile has changed and the roof no longer slopes in the rear. The side mirrors are also significantly different, looking much more realistic for a production model.
Prior to seeing the 2020 Genesis G80 I would have been skeptical. Now, after seeing G80 test mules and the fully revealed model, it shares a lot with this SUV.
I'm a bit surprised that so much of the concept has still been retained on this version. I thought that one of the first things to change would be the lighting setup.
Looks like there might have been something to that video as its now been taken down. Guess Genesis didn't realize that it was showcasing some changes to the original concepts design. Here's some pics since the video probably wont be returning.
It further confirm what we've been seeing in the new G80 and of course in images of the SUV. Not hard to put the puzzle together.
I'm just happy that Genesis is taking a styling direction that's much needed, way to part them from Hyundai...
Most of the concepts that we have seen from Genesis end up being fairly close to what they deliver in the production model. I think aside from tweaks to the mirrors, wheels and lighting that most of this should translate over.
It probably helps too that many other new vehicles out right now come close to the 2020 G80. By those standards, outgoing Genesis products will look very old and fast.
Actually right now i'm realizing how bad they've done to retain timeless design.
Genesis was only founded 4 years ago, so lets give them a bit of time to establish their design cues. Unfair to compare them to brands that are soon celebrating their centenary.
Even products under the Hyundai badge have improved dramatically in recent years, and that's true for most Korean automakers. One of the worst aspects of their vehicles in the past was their bland styling.
The Veloster N gave me hope in seeing a better Genesis Coupe.
Going forward they'll have to do more than offer a vehicle that just sits above the FR-S and quite possibly into the Supra's league.

Stumbled across this video last night of South Korean technicians doing some body repair on a GV80. I wish I was able to understand what they were saying but it's worth the watch to see how they remove body panels on the GV80.
Asian Petrolhead tested the GV80 next to the Palisade to see how the two SUVs compare to each other.
As far as the dimensions go it's interesting that the Palisade is the longer SUV, but the GV80 has a longer wheelbase. Also both SUVs have the exact same width. The GV80 is also shorter than the...
CarSceneKorea goes a bunch of the different features in the GV80, including 6 interesting aspects about the SUV.
1. Double line identity (double lines in the head lights, side markers, and taillights)
2. Hidden subwoofer underneath the front seats
3. Touch sensor unlock on the door handles
4...
In the first few minutes you can see the power folding seat features. How convenient, so easy. And integrating the hatch release button into the rear wiper assembly is so clever.
