Genesis dealers have been clamoring for a crossover and their prayers were finally answered when the company unveiled the GV80 in January.

It appears the model arrived not a second too soon as Genesis Motors North America CEO Mark Del Rosso told Roadshow the company has already received nearly 10,000 reservations for the luxury crossover.

That’s a huge accomplishment for Genesis as the company only sold 21,233 vehicles in the United States last year. More specifically, the 10,000 units are more than the combined American sales of the G80 and G90 in 2019.

The GV80 will go on sale in the United States this summer and pricing starts at $48,900. The entry-level model features rear-wheel drive and a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 300 hp (224 kW / 304 PS).

The model also has LED lighting units, 12-way power heated front seats and leatherette upholstery. Buyers will also find piano black trim, a dual-zone climate control system and an infotainment system with a 14.5-inch display.

Buyers can also get all-wheel drive and a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine with 375 hp (280 kW / 380 PS). In top spec, the GV80 has host of amenities including Nappa leather seats, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a power second row with heating and ventilation.

While the coronavirus has impacted a number of upcoming models, Del Rosso said the GV80 is “100%” on track and they’re in a “perfect position from an inventory perspective.” However, he did suggest demand is exceeding expectations so they might have built “one too few.”

Del Rosso also said the redesigned G80 remains on schedule and has received roughly 1,500 reservations. While that pales in comparison to the GV80, the model was introduced less than two months ago.
