The light green license plate attached to the Genesis GV80 Coupe… Netizens’ reactions were mixed.

[M Today Reporter Lee Se-min] Starting this year, light green license plates will be introduced for corporate business vehicles costing more than 80 million won to restrict private use of corporate business vehicles.

This is an institutional device to self-regulate the issue, which arose when public criticism arose when some corporations purchased expensive ‘supercars’ in the name of the corporation and used them for personal use by corporate executives.

The target vehicles include passenger vehicles worth more than 80 million won that are owned by a corporation or leased by a corporation from a leasing company or rental company, as well as official vehicles.

Newly registered vehicles are eligible if the factory price is more than 80 million won, and previously registered vehicles are eligible if the higher of the reported amount on the transfer certificate and the standard taxable amount based on acquisition tax is more than 80 million won.

Existing corporate vehicles are, in principle, excluded, but vehicles worth more than 80 million won can be registered with a light green license plate.

Also, in the case of electric vehicles with blue license plates, ‘ha’, ‘heo’, ‘ho’ Long-term rental cars of more than one year, electric vehicles, and hydrogen vehicles with lights attached will also have light green license plates rather than blue license plates if they are vehicles under a corporate name.

Meanwhile, a photo of Genesis’ new GV80 Coupe, released in October last year, with a light green license plate attached was released and is attracting attention.

The GV80 Coupe is a vehicle that doubles practicality and sleekness by adding a coupe-type design based on the GV80. The starting price is 82.55 million won and it is subject to a light green license plate.

In fact, the reactions of netizens who saw a photo of the GV80 Coupe with a light green license plate were somewhat mixed.

The positive response is, “It’s rather good, it looks neat,” and the negative response is, “It undermines the image of a luxury vehicle, and it looks like a taxi car.”
