4 TRIMS ABOUT THE GENESIS GV80
Genesis GV80 at a glance
The Genesis GV80 is the brand’s midsize luxury SUV and the model that established Genesis as a credible alternative in the premium utility market. Buyers can choose a 300-hp 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder or a 375-hp 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, with available seating configurations extending its usefulness for families. The GV80 favors a calm, substantial driving experience: steering is composed, the cabin is well insulated and the suspension is tuned more for long-distance comfort than aggressive cornering. Its strongest assets are interior presentation, front-seat comfort and the sense of occasion created by its design. The four-cylinder supplies adequate everyday performance and represents the more rational value, while the V6 better suits frequent highway travel or fully loaded use. Third-row space, where equipped, is best treated as occasional rather than full-time adult accommodation. Buyers wanting maximum cargo efficiency have roomier options, but the GV80’s combination of design, refinement and equipment makes it a convincing luxury SUV.
