The verdict: The Genesis GV80 Coupe joined the lineup for the 2025 model year as the fastback-styled version of the GV80. Despite its name, the model also has four doors and an SUV body style. In our Car Seat Check, the GV80 Coupe earned straight-A grades thanks to easy-access anchors and ample room.

Does it fit three car seats? No.

Take a look at how the Latch system and each car seat scored below in our Car Seat Check of the 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe.

Latch: Grade A

The two sets of lower anchors peek out from the seat bight, where the back and bottom seat cushions meet. They’re not entirely exposed, but it’s enough to make finding and using them easy.

Infant Seat: Grade A

This seat was very easy to install, and our 5-foot-6-inch front passenger had ample legroom.

Rear-Facing Convertible: Grade A

As with the infant seat, installation of the rear-facing convertible was a breeze and front passenger legroom was good.

Forward-Facing Convertible: Grade A

After removing the head restraint to situate the convertible flush against the seatback, the convertible in forward-facing mode fit well. The lower anchors were again easy to use, and the top tether anchors on the seatback are clearly marked and have good clearance around them for easy connection.

Booster: Grade A

The booster fit well after removing the head restraint to properly situate the car seat flat against the seatback. The GV80 Coupe’s buckles are on short but stable arms; kids should be able to grasp and use them independently.

About Cars.com’s Car Seat Checks

Editors Jennifer Geiger and Jennifer Newman are certified child safety seat installation technicians.

For the Car Seat Check, we use a Chicco KeyFit 30 infant-safety seat, a Graco Contender 65 convertible seat and Graco TurboBooster seat. The front seats are adjusted for a 6-foot driver and a shorter passenger. The three child seats are installed in the second row. The booster seat sits behind the driver’s seat, and the infant and convertible seats are installed behind the front passenger seat.

We also install the forward-facing convertible in the second row’s middle seat with the booster and infant seat in the outboard seats to see if three car seats will fit; a child sitting in the booster seat must be able to reach the seat belt buckle. If there’s a third row, we install the booster seat and a forward-facing convertible. Learn more about how we conduct our Car Seat Checks.

Parents should also remember that they can use the Latch system or a seat belt to install a car seat, and that Latch anchors have a weight limit of 65 pounds, including the weight of the child and the weight of the seat itself.
