2023 Genesis GV80 Review

byMark Takahashi
Senior Reviews Editor
Mark Takahashi has worked in the automotive industry since 2001. He has written thousands of car-related articles and tested and reviewed hundreds of vehicles over the course of his career.Pros
- Impressively smooth ride quality
- Lots of luxury and tech features at an attractive price
- Quiet and solidly built cabin
- Long warranty coverage
Cons
- Infotainment interface is cumbersome to operate
- Available third-row seat is pretty small
- Subpar fuel economy
What's new
- No significant changes expected for 2023
- Part of the first GV80 generation launched in 2021
As a relatively new brand, Genesis has the daunting task of breaking into the luxury vehicle market, which has long been dominated by German carmakers. With the introduction of the GV80 two years ago, it was clear that Genesis would make its entrance with a bold statement. The GV80 has presence and audacious styling that shakes the class to its core, with its oversized shield grille and daring double-stripe lighting motif.
Whether you're a fan of the GV80's looks or not, it's difficult to deny its key attribute: value. In order to get a similarly long list of features from Audi, BMW or Mercedes, you'd have to pay several thousand dollars more. On top of that, Genesis offers one of the most generous warranties in the industry, bolstering long-term assurance. On the downside, the GV80 is held back by an awkward infotainment interface, a rather small third-row seat, and a V6 engine that could stand to be more fuel-efficient.
The Genesis GV80 certainly makes a strong impression and shows that the company has the potential to match or surpass the established luxury brands. There's certainly more to like about it than not, and it's all laid out in our Expert Rating below.
Edmunds Expert Rating
Our VerdictThe Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.
7.9 /10
First efforts are rarely home runs but the first-ever SUV from Genesis, the GV80, is flying close to the proverbial fence. This midsize luxury SUV offers bucket loads of amenities and a striking design at a price that undercuts the stalwarts from Germany. While there are a few areas in need of improvement, overall the GV80 is a very impressive SUV.
Rated for you by America’s best test team.
Performance
7.5/10
How does the GV80 drive? The GV80 can be outfitted with a four- or six-cylinder engine — both are turbocharged with power figures that look impressive on paper. Our test GV80 came with the larger 3.5-liter V6 engine. In our testing it covered 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds at the Edmunds test track. That's decently quick for a midsize SUV, but most competitors with six-cylinder engines are slightly quicker.
Engine aside, the rest of the driving experience isn't all that remarkable. The brakes respond a little abruptly at times, the steering effort is a tad heavy even in its Comfort setting, and although the handling isn't sloppy, most of the German SUVs feel tighter and more composed on a curvy road. If you intend to use the GV80 mainly as a highway cruiser, it'll do great, and none of this other stuff will matter as much.

Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the GV80? One of the most important aspects for any luxury vehicle is comfort, and the GV80 does this better than many. One of the highlights is excellent ride comfort. All V6-equipped GV80s come with an electronically controlled suspension system that uses a forward-facing camera to read the road surface ahead and make suspension adjustments quickly on the fly.
The tri-zone climate control is also a highlight for its ease of use and effectiveness. The same goes for the heated and ventilated seats that are standard in all but the base trim. Seat comfort is solid as well, especially with the upgraded seats in the Prestige trim that have additional adjustments. Genesis also does a commendable job of insulating its cabins against sound and vibrations, and the GV80 is no exception.

Interior
7.0/10
How’s the interior? Some hits and misses here. On one hand, the user interface is different, looks cool, and offers different ways of interacting with the infotainment. But the clickable knurled rotary wheel is somewhat clunky to operate. Not helping matters is the screen's inconsistent menu structure. The combination results in an infotainment system that is unintuitive and often distracting when on the go.
The GV80 is comparable in passenger space to the average midsize SUV. One exception: Headroom is a little tighter. Access to the optional third row is better than in most any other vehicle in this segment, but the third row is quite small and best reserved for kids. The step-in height feels a tad higher than average, but the seat height is right at hip level for the average adult, which allows you to slip in pretty easily. Seeing out of the cabin is easy thanks to large windows and strategically placed mirrors. The optional surround-view camera is great and worth getting.

Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? There are plenty of advanced driver aids, and most of them come standard and function very well. Genesis' smart cruise control with Highway Driving Assist is one of the better systems in the class and even allows for some hands-off operation when conditions permit.
The available 21-speaker premium audio system is also quite impressive in the sound quality it delivers, though Genesis seemed to take a step back with the navigation map, forgoing street names on the display in exchange for a cleaner look, something we've recently noted in BMWs too. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto phone integration is included but isn't wireless yet.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto phone integration is included but isn't wireless yet.
Storage
8.0/10
How’s the storage? The GV80's cargo area is wide and accessible. The second row has a 40/20/40-split configuration and can fold flat at the touch of a button. Power-folding/unfolding third-row seats are one touch too. However, we noticed in our testing that if you've inadvertently got the second-row seatbacks reclined too far back, the third-row seats will get stuck on them halfway down in their folding cycle.
Underfloor storage in the cargo area is limited, but you can store the luggage cover here when it's not in use. Up front, storage for personal effects is better than in the average luxury SUV. But the door pockets are tiny, and plugging your phone in to access Apple CarPlay or Android Auto creates a mess of wires up front. The small bonus storage area underneath the center console can be useful.
Planning on hauling stuff? The GV80's 6,000-pound maximum towing when properly equipped is respectable and good enough for small travel trailers and recreational toys. But some rival SUVs have limits of more than 7,000 pounds.

Fuel Economy
6.0/10
How’s the fuel economy? The GV80 with the V6 engine receives an EPA-estimated 20 mpg in combined driving, which is slightly less efficient than competitors with V6 engines. It's also not quite as quick at moving the GV80 down the road as those engines. In Edmunds' testing, we saw 20.7 mpg on our 115-mile standardized evaluation route, which indicates the GV80 should meet its fuel economy estimates if driven with a bit of restraint.
Value
8.0/10
Is the GV80 a good value? While the GV80 lacks a bit of that high-end heft in some of its switchgear and trim, it gets the fundamentals right and offers lots of luxury features for thousands less than the competition. In terms of quality, it looks and feels like it's a level above typical Japanese luxury SUVs but a step behind the Germans.
One area Genesis has an indisputable lead is warranty coverage. Its five-year/60,000-mile basic and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage far exceeds anything its competitors offer, and Genesis includes three years/36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance.

Wildcard
7.5/10
The GV80 sports a pretty striking design with a unique elegance. It may not be to everyone's liking, but it does represent a form that is identifiably Genesis and distinctive in the class. Its twin-turbo V6 is peppy, and its ride is incredibly comfortable. But besides being pleasant transportation, the GV80 is rarely exciting.
Which GV80 does Edmunds recommend?
Genesis hasn't released official information on the 2023 GV80 as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's GV80, we suggest checking out the 3.5 Advanced trim. We also recommend upgrading to the more powerful V6 engine that moves this big SUV with more authority than the base four-cylinder.

2023 Genesis GV80 video
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: Luxury sales are booming right now. It seems like everybody wants to get their hands on an SUV from Lexus or Audi or Land Rover. And then of course, there's BMW and Mercedes. Two true benchmarks when it comes to luxury crossovers.
Today we're matching their X5 and GLE against a promising rookie.
The Genesis GV80. It has space, it has power, it has style. The big question is, does any of that mean luxury buyers will like it?
MARK TAKAHASHI: That's adorable. I don't like it.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: OK. Do you want to check it out first?
MARK TAKAHASHI: I'm a man of style and distinction with more culture than yogurt so no, I don't think I need to.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: OK this might be harder than I thought. Before we dive in click that Like button very luxuriously. And don't forget to hit subscribe so you can see all of our organic, grass-fed videos. To get a cash offer on the car in your driveway, yeah that one, go to edmunds.com/sellmycar. We want to buy your car, yeah that one.
Can we take a moment to appreciate what Genesis is offering from an aesthetic standpoint? In a class that can often feel stale the GV80 is definitely not. It has a bold face, flashy accents, and a duck-tail rear. And best of all, these long lines accentuate its length and that makes it look graceful on the road. Under the skin you get a standard turbocharged four cylinder engine or an optional twin turbo V6 like this one.
You also get two rows of seats standard. And if you opt for the very top trim, it comes with three rows. This is a seriously impressive debut but here's an important note, value is still a core component of the Genesis strategy. So for that reason we'll be viewing the GV80 through more of a value focused lens than we do with the X5 and the GLE. In our estimation, Genesis needs to prove it can deliver on that front before we consider this a true competitor to these members of luxury SUV royalty.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Number one baby! We named the GLE the Edmunds Top Luxury SUV in 2020, 2021, and as we're shooting this remains the best mid-sized luxury SUV you can get today. And we didn't need to use some imaginary curve like value to make that happen. From base models, to fully loaded, the GLE's sturdy construction and attention to detail are unparalleled in the class. You also get a ton of tech features, including the MBUX infotainment system, which remains our favorite. The base engine is a turbo 4 cylinder, but this one gets the turbo 6. Unlike that GV80, you can also get some high performance AMG versions with some big stonking V8s. I mean, if you're looking for excellence you start here and you end here.
What we have here is the BMW X5, but not just any BMW X5-- no, no, no, no, this is the Edmunds' long-term test X5. Over the course of the year, we've logged over 10,000 miles and the verdict, it's an impressive luxury SUV that sometimes gets bogged down by its own expectations. The X5 currently sits in fourth place in our midsize luxury SUV rankings. Like the GV80 and GLE, the X5 has an optional third row. Unlike those two, there's no four cylinder option. The standard engine is a 6 cylinder with snorting V8s available too.
Let's talk about interior quality and comfort starting with the two German standard bearers for the class. The Mercedes GLE has a wonderfully modern interior. Yes, it's suave and extremely plush leather and this wonderful, open pore wood that looks more like teak than brown walnut. Best of all, it's all wrapped together in such a thoughtful design. These large screens make a statement without being overpowering. And also, the interior looks very futuristic without looking gauche or gaudy. Overall, it just kind of makes you feel special. We talk a lot about value and the Genesis but believe it or not, the GLE feels fully worth its price based on the interior alone.
The X5 takes a slightly different approach. There's lots of leather and metal but the design is much more traditional. It's pretty reserved and pretty safe. But you do have the option for a Swarovski crystal shifter knob next to all this, I don't know I guess it looks like a Macassar ebony. But I'm not a fan of the super, hyper glossy lacquer that they used. So you got to go with your own there.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: Now it's the GV80's turn and right off the bat there is a nice presentation in here. Genesis did not skimp on the materials as evidenced by all of this leather and lots of soft touch points and interesting materials. Now it's true that you will find a little bit more plastic in here than the BMW and Mercedes, but in general this is a really refined interior for the class. But more than that, it feels unique. The GV80 has a design language that's all it's own. So it's not trying to be a German. It's trying to be the best Genesis.
MARK TAKAHASHI: I don't like it.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: Woah! Dude.
MARK TAKAHASHI: I noticed that when you got in.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: How long have you been back there?
MARK TAKAHASHI: Well I noticed you had to duck your head down to get in and you're not getting as much headroom up there.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: OK you do give up a little bit of head space if you're six feet or taller in the GV80, that's true.
MARK TAKAHASHI: And the controls, they look like a cheap plastic toy.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: We are generally down on the piano black in interiors and this does have a lot of it on the touch parts, you're right.
MARK TAKAHASHI: And is that an iPhone 3 on the dash?
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: OK I was getting to that, it's a little bit out of the way compared to the others but for the money--
MARK TAKAHASHI: It's kind of a deal breaker for me Ryan.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: I'm not trying to sell you a car, man. Do you know what I do here?
MARK TAKAHASHI: Do you have any idea who I think I am?
These SUVs are packed with technology, with some of those features being pretty innovative. Let's check them out. We're in the GLE's sweet spot, heated seats and a sunroof for standard but the piece de resistance is this dual screen setup. Each one measuring over 12 inches and providing excellent clarity. Navigation included, Apple Car play and Android Auto, check. It's easy to use, fun to look at, and there's also an optional augmented reality turn by turn overlay that shows you exactly where you should be turning in real time.
You can literally feel the stress leaving your body and little stress demons exiting this earthly plane. Safe passage you little stress demons you. We also like the standard suite of advanced safety features. And the driver assistance package plus includes adaptive cruise control so you can keep an established gap between you and the car in front. An evasive steering assist automatically swerves you away from impending accidents, if necessary.
Now let's test out the stereo system with some blatantly familiar, royalty free music. From the driver's seat, the high is really nice and clear and you get some powerful punch from the bass coming right through the floorboards. As far as staging goes, it's this nice surround but you still have the focus up front. Overall, I give this Burmester two thumbs up.
Now for the X5, different car, same story. You get twin 12.3 and screens and the picture again is fantastic. We really like the most recent version of BMW's iDrive infotainment system. It can be a little confusing to grasp at first, but if you're sophisticated like me it won't be any trouble. Some key differences in the X5, you get adaptive headlights, a panoramic sunroof, and new for 2021 wireless versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. None of those come standard with the GLE.
We also like the way the voice commands work with the navigation system but not the silly juvenile gesture controls, which are more for new money plebs and Doge investors. Adaptive cruise control is standard this time and works like a charm, but we found both the lane departure warning and the hands-free assisted driving are a little half baked. Use them as a safety net, not as a crutch.
Well it appears as the only thing left to do is test the stereo. Que our generic and inoffensive audio. Overall, it doesn't quite sound as impressive as the Burmester in the Mercedes. Doesn't have that kicky and punchy bass, you know. (FIGHTING NOISES) And sounds just a little hollow and muddy, but if I didn't know about it I'd be pretty happy with it.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: Here's the part where you pretend to be surprised. Despite the GV80's significantly lower starting price point, it has a great selection of standard technology features. First up, you get a 14.5 inch screen with navigation. Although, there's no street names on the map not quite sure what's up with that. In addition heated seats, power liftgate, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a 12 speaker sound system, all standard. And if you upgrade to all wheel drive these seats come ventilated too.
Now you do have to go all the way up to the 3.5TPrestige trim if you want to get a 12 inch driver information display and soft close doors and some other features. But all in all this is a great package. Continuing the theme the GV80 also come standard with driver assistance aides features like adaptive cruise control to help you maintain a set distance between you and the car in front and blind spot monitoring with steer assist, which can move you out of the way of a collision in some cases. Including both of those as standard equipment is definitely a step above the X5 and the GLE.
Mark, I actually think you'll enjoy this part. One of the things we've come to enjoy in Genesis models recently are these cool ambient sounds you can choose from like rain forest or crashing ocean waves, a fireplace, stuff like that.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Right I mean, I don't hate it but do you have one that sounds like a cash counter.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: Anyway, on top of that, there's also an available 21 speaker sound system and because the GV80 has such good insulation it really shines when you're on the road. Here, check this out.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
MARK TAKAHASHI: OK but that song sounds good anywhere.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: Oh do you like Moonlight Sonata?
MARK TAKAHASHI: I thought we were in a Genesis, but you know what, none of this is important. I have a very expensive hair appointment to get to so let's get rolling.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: I'm not your driver dude. OK fine.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Now it's going to get these bad boys on the road, am I right? The best word to describe the GLE from behind the wheel is solid. This thing feels planted and grounded not quite heavy though because the steering is actually easy and light. It responds quickly to your commands as you navigate tight parking spaces or high speed turns. It's robust, you won't feel much body lean and the brakes are easy to control in small increments too.
With all of that out of the way, you can enjoy power under your foot. And it's got thrust with the 4 cylinder and the 6 cylinder is downright fast. Just watch out for thumping gearshifts, they sure are fun but they might get old after a year or two of scaring your in-laws half to death. Also, a word on suspensions, we actually like the standard steel suspension better than the optional air suspension, which feels too floaty.
Inside the X5 things are more complicated. Yeah it feels lighter on its feet and yes it's agile and sporty but there's a catch, learning all the many settings at your disposal to find the driving style you like. Switching to comfort is too soft and switching to sport is too firm. One of our editors prefers steering in comfort, damping in sport, engine in sport plus, and transmission in sport. Ryan over there likes steering in sport, damping in sport, engine and sport plus, and transmission in comfort.
Personally, I like comfort everything with the engine in sport plus. The point is, get it wrong and you'll wish you just got the Mercedes. On the other hand, this 6 cylinder is a treat. Lots of juicy power and still pretty good on gas. We've averaged 19.9 mpg over the course of our ownership. You don't notice many bumps and the outside noise is kept out of the cabin. It's a great road trip car, provided you pick the settings beforehand.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: Quite simply, the driving experience in the GV80 is not its strong suit. The twin turbo charged V6 actually posted pretty impressive numbers on our test track but the braking figures are only average and the handling is unremarkable. What does stand out is the ride comfort. The GV80 has a fantastic suspension it's supple and cushy without feeling floaty. So think Lexus, but better. What's more, on V6 models Genesis includes a front facing camera that will read the road in front of it for imperfections and then prepare the suspension in real time to provide a smooth road over them.
And the most amazing thing about that sentence is that it actually works as it's intended. We also like the lack of creaking or rattles or shaking inside the cabin which adds to what is already a very quiet experience in the interior. Now according to our testing, the Germans are still better at this, but it's a strong showing from the newbie. So the GV80 may not be an athlete, but it's already got this luxury thing down.
MARK TAKAHASHI: You know after spending some time behind the wheel I have to say I don't hate it but you're missing one important thing.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: What's that?
MARK TAKAHASHI: How often I need to go from 0 to 60 miles an hour in 5 seconds flat, which is like all the time so call me when you have more power.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: I'm not doing that also do you think I'm an engineer?
MARK TAKAHASHI: No.
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: Buying one of these luxury SUVs should feel like a reward. Whether it's a reward for that promotion or your new restaurant opening or just getting the kids off the books. If you're in the market for one of these, you're doing pretty well there champ. We think each one of these options can competently serve as that reward for you. It's just that we think the Mercedes GLE goes above and beyond in a number of areas.
Meanwhile, the X5 is tailor made for a certain segment of buyers. And the GV80 offers accessibility to this level of opulence that hasn't existed since, ever. That said, we'll be keeping a close eye on the GV80. Since its launch earlier this year demand has been high. But part of that may be due to the fact that supply has been historically low across the nation. We'll be watching to see whether Genesis eventually decides to turn to discounts to entice new buyers. Genesis has done well with this launch but its work on the GV80 is not quite done.
So Mark, now that we've gotten to see the GV80, can we agree it's a strong first effort?
MARK TAKAHASHI: Solid first effort. Find somewhere safe to park the Benz will ya?
RYAN ZUMMALLEN: I'm not a valet.

Genesis GV80 vs. the competition

2023 Genesis GV80

2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class
Genesis GV80 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class
The Mercedes-Benz GLE has led its midsize luxury class since it was last redesigned in 2020, thanks in no small part to its refined and spacious interior, one of the best infotainment systems in the industry and a diverse lineup of available features. A similarly equipped GV80 will cost less, however, and Genesis' generous warranty is also hard to ignore.
Genesis GV80 vs. BMW X5
Compared to the GV80, the BMW X5 is more of an athlete, with more engaging driving dynamics and smoother power delivery. As with most brands, the BMW is more expensive in a feature-to-feature comparison, but the X5's interior also uses slightly nicer materials that help justify its price. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the BMW X5
Genesis GV80 vs. Audi Q7
The Audi Q7 is a bit of an elder statesman in the class — it was last redesigned in 2017 — but updates over the years have kept it relatively fresh. The Q7's driving experience splits the difference between the sportier BMW X5 and more conventional GV80, and like the BMW, the Audi is more expensive than the Genesis.

Should I lease or buy a 2023 Genesis GV80?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
