[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Genesis began sales of the gasoline model of its luxury sport utility vehicle (SUV) 'GV80' on the 9th. Following the earlier launch of the 3.0 diesel model, the gasoline models with 2.5 turbo and 3.5 turbo engines were added, completing a total of three engine lineups.

The 2.5 turbo model features a maximum output of 304 horsepower (PS) and a maximum torque of 43.0 kgf·m. Its combined fuel efficiency is 9.7 km/ℓ. The 3.5 turbo model delivers a class-leading performance with a maximum output of 380 horsepower (PS) and a maximum torque of 54.0 kgf·m. Its fuel efficiency is 8.6 km/ℓ.

Notably, the 2.5 turbo and 3.5 turbo engines equipped in the GV80 gasoline models feature a dual fuel injection system and a water-cooled intercooler, enhancing fuel efficiency and response performance. The dual fuel injection system combines the advantages of gasoline direct injection (GDi), which injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber, and multi-port injection (MPi), which injects fuel into the intake port at the combustion chamber entrance, applying the optimal injection method according to driving conditions.

The water-cooled intercooler rapidly cools the air entering the engine through coolant, improving the turbocharger's responsiveness and enabling dynamic performance.

Additionally, the 2.5 turbo engine is equipped with a 'variable split cooling system' that controls coolant flow and temperature, while the 3.5 turbo engine features 'center injection,' which injects fuel at the exact center of the cylinder to enhance combustion safety and improve fuel efficiency.

Meanwhile, the Genesis GV80 diesel model has surpassed 21,000 cumulative contracts as of last month. Among all customers, 82.3% chose all-wheel drive (AWD). Regarding exterior colors, over 30% selected Uyuni White, followed by 24.4% choosing Beak Black. For interior design, 58.9% opted for the Signature Design Selection II specification.

The gasoline model prices start at ▲ 2.5 turbo 60.37 million KRW ▲ 3.5 turbo 65.87 million KRW.

A Genesis official stated, "With the addition of gasoline models such as the 2.5 turbo and 3.5 turbo, the GV80's engine lineup is now complete," adding, "Genesis will continue to focus on the diverse needs of customers and strive to deliver differentiated value unique to Genesis."
