The GV80 Concept is the brand’s first interpretation of a versatile luxury SUV, which strikes a perfect balance between elegance and versatility.

The car is carefully designed to represent athletic prowess and confidence, combined with elegance and versatility.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Mohamed Jaidah, Group Executive Director of Jaidah Group, said: “We’re thrilled to bring the GV80 Concept to the Middle East and North Africa for the first time. The car is an ideal mix of luxury and practicality. It was designed to inspire our customers with innovation and design, giving them a glimpse into the future of the brand. The latest unveiling represents a new milestone for Skyline Automotive in Qatar, demonstrating years of commitment to the country and its people.”
Mr. Altar Yilmaz, General Manager of Genesis for Africa and Middle East Region, said: “Since our Genesis reveal last year in Qatar, we received great feedback. The GV80 Concept Car reflects our vision for what the future car would look like. It’ll provide the direction for the development of our products and we look forward to seeing this Concept turn to reality in the future. I’m thrilled to be in Qatar to take part in the Qatar Motor Show 2018, alongside our partners from Jaidah Group and Skyline Automotive, which has become a key event for automakers in the region.”
The GV80 Concept presents a modern and refined interpretation of a capable utility vehicle, building on the strength of architecture and the beauty of natural elements.

The concept car’s overall shape is distinguished by its proportions, finely balanced with dominant surfaces, exhibiting sophistication and functionality that conveys the SUV’s infinite versatility to the driver.
The GV80 Concept creates a sophisticated environment for its passengers through superior craftsmanship, creative attention to detail and advanced technology, including an innovative Human Machine Interface that offers users intuitive operation and function control through the use of a new multi-function interactive controller with capacitive touch.
