I would post a picture if I had mine. I ordered my GV80 in the Gold Coast Silver exterior with the black/beige interior with the Prestige Package. Best guess by the dealer is before Thanksgiving...

GCS over Ultramarine Blue/Dune. 3.5 Prestige. No shipment/delivery info.

What dealer are you ordering out of? I placed my order through Genesis of South Brunswick, NJ.

Picked up my GV80 in Gold Coast Silver with Dune interior last Wednesday.

Awesome!

So I took a ride to my Genesis dealer this afternoon with my wife so she could see a GV80 in person. I pull into the parking lot and I spot a Gold Coast Silver with the Prestige Package in the parking lot, just came off the trailer this afternoon and my salesperson didn't even know it arrived until just before I got there, she didn't even have a chance to call me yet. What a surprise! It'll be ready to be picked up on Monday.



 

[AJB]

I totally agree, it really depends on the angle of the sun or lighting.
It can be called silver beige or as my wife described it "champagne".
I happy I chose the Gold Coast Silver as I think it's one of the nicest colors out there.

 

[AJB]

Try "gray"

But it's not really grey. At times it has a silver hue to it depending on the light angle and sometimes it beige. My wife calls it champagne.

 

[AJB]

As you can see in this picture captured from the video of my car sometimes it's also almost bronze. It's the strangest thing.

Wow! It definitely looks to have a hue of bronze...

 

[AJB]

Gold Coast Silver is still my favorite color. Depending on the light and angle you're looking at the color it can be beige or silver or combination of both or some kind of champagne. Awesome color...

 

[AJB]

Whoever originally mixed this color is a genius. If it was a regular champagne color I don't think It'd be interested in it at all.

Agreed, there's nothing quite like this color out there...

You know what is strange about the photos posted, if you look at the wheels it's obviously a Prestige Package model but when you look at the interior it's not a Prestige Package interior. It doesn't have the Diamond Quilt design which is what comes with the Prestige Package.

 

[AJB]

The 2.5T Prestige doesn't have the quilted Nappa Leather Seating Surfaces, only the 3.5T does. I, too, once asked "why does that GV80 have 22" rims and an Advanced interior?" That's why.

Wow, I didn't realize the Prestige Package differed from the 2.5TT to the 3.5TT. Still learning something new everyday about the GV80!
Thanks for the explanation...

 

[AJB]

I noticed this as well. It also doesn’t have the two tone steering wheel or the digital dash. The one on the left is analog. It seems like an advance with prestige wheels.

Please see below, "nixit" explained why. Apparently the Prestige Package with the 2.5TT has a downgraded interior versus the Prestige Package with the 3.5TT.
I had no idea.

 

[AJB]

I have the 3.5TT Prestige Package and I didn't even know I had a rear self leveling function.

 

[AJB]

You don't. It's a feature in the 2.5 Advance package that is removed for the 2.5 Prestige.

Thanks, I kind of wonder why they're putting it on a lower level model and not the Prestige Package?

 

[AJB]

The Prestige package adds the upgrade...

Electronically Controlled Suspension w/ Road Preview

The Rear Self Leveling Function sounds like a different feature than the Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview.
The Rear Self Leveling Function sounds like the suspension will raise itself if you're adding weight to the storage compartment or towing substantial weight.
Road Preview is looking for road irregularities to soften the suspension to soften bumps.

 

[AJB]

I believe it’s because the 2.5 advance is rear wheel drive, so it’s worded differently. But they seem to replace the rear self leveling with the Electronically controlled suspension so I have to assume that it’s a suspension thing for both and not cargo specific But ride specific. I could be wrong, but the all wheel drive models do not have it to my knowledge.

Good point, that model is rear wheel drive.
Yes, the Prestige Package model Active Front Suspension feature is for ride quality only.

I realized I never added a photo of my Gold Coast Silver 3.5 Prestige GV80. Although every photo I have the color looks different. For instance these two. Some days it's silver, some days it's taupe some days it's latte brown. Some days it's almost lavender.

I have to admit it's my favorite color (even though the car is designed so nice all colors look great on it)! I totally agree that the color seems to change based on the lighting angle. My wife calls it champagne color sometimes. What color interior on yours? 3.5TT option?

Forgot to mention I picked up the car on 12/28. It had already snowed a few weeks before that but it melted. By the time late January came around and up to now February 20th it's been snowing like **** so the GV80 has been hibernating! It hasn't seen a snowflake yet! Barely has any miles on it.

 

[AJB]

I picked mine up on 12/16/20
Mine is the dune/ultramarine blue interior.

Great color interior option and it goes great with the Gold Coast Silver exterior color too.
Which engine did you opt for?

 

[AJB]

it’s the 3.5 Prestige.

Same here, 3.5TT
