Spy shots of the long-awaited GV80.

[3.3 Rulz]

We're going to need a GV70 section soon, they're working on it, can't wait.

Gauging size wise....
GV80=Pallisade?
GV70=SanteFe?

The current G80 and the Palisade are nearly the same length (albeit the Genesis has the longer WB, as appropriate for RWD).

The Santa Fe is a few inches longer than the G70, but if Genesis product planners are smart, added a few inches to the GV70 to give it more rear passenger leg/foot room.

I’m liking what I’m seeing. It looks like a raised Hatchback.

Like it better than the larger GV80 which is very crossover-ish.

I like both but I’m not a huge fan right now of big vehicles. I’m more in the Mid-size/ Compact segment. Though the issue that I have seeing these pictures is the interior space I’ll be similar to the G70.

This is looking amazing.

Can't the guy taking the pictures just cut all that crap off first, then break in and take pictures of he inside too? LOL!

Do they attach some weird-looking stuff in the back? Why does it look so funny?

I believe they attach the "extra stuff" to hide the overall design/shape of the rear prior to the unveiling. The front and side profile is relatively clear. However, I'm sure they want to keep the competition guessing - especially given this will be their first SUV.

So I presume the development cycle for a vehicle 2-5 years... What does it matter that competitors will learn the form of the car back? At best they will be able to copy it years from now. But I agree - this seems to be an artificial hunch attached there for some weird reason. Otherwise it would be quite an ugly car

Cars aren't necessarily camouflaged for competitive intelligence reasons, though that is a consideration. It's more about controlling the launch. When a brand launches a new model, ideally they do so with full control over everything - the timing, the location, the backdrop, the colour(s), even the specifics of photography provided. Naturally it's ideal to "put your best foot forward", so to speak.

The last thing an OEM needs is a hand-built, beat-to-hell, unpainted primer-only, far-from-final-spec chassis mule being the "first look" prospective customers get at the car. It sours the experience. A realtor doesn't show you photos of the just-framed new home missing windows and half its siding.

Another facet is for all-new versions of existing model lines. If you show everyone the "new hotness" too soon, it makes it commensurately harder to sell the still-perfectly-good model currently on-sale... that's still rolling off the assembly line.

TLDR: The camo isn't for competitors. It's for the public. Source? Guy who has spent a LOT of time around camouflaged vehicles.

Makes sense - thanks for the insight!

4th pic in reminds me of the movie TRON.

 

[dhb220]

Thanks Abdullah0637. Those pics do confirm some general assumptions on the GV80. Lexicon sound (as expected) along with the grab handles for third row access and seat belt clips (which work VERY well on the Palisade) - all good. The front seat "luxury" factor seems to be moving in a strong direction.

 

[Trick25]

I saw on another sites spy shots of the gv70. Man all these crossover look the same.

 

[EdP]

I saw on another sites sky shots of the gv70. Man all these crossover look k the same.

Yes, and 90% of them are black too.

I see what you did there.

I remember some guy on YouTube saying all crossover looking like a used bar of soap...
