Software issues with navigation…Apple CarPlay…lane change assist…cameras for collision avoidance system with only 6000 miles…Genesis luxury service is substandard compared to other luxury brands…Genesis needs to step up and improve their image and convince car buyers with their retail & service repair…this is my 2nd Genesis and I’m not impressed but disappointed with the new GV80 with advance/prestige package

I’ve waited a while before posting, especially after reading some less than stellar reviews, but after about 5K miles I could not be happier! My experience thus far has been trouble free. I think the GV80 rides and handles well. Acceleration is more than adequate even without upgrading to the 3.5. There is a bit of a learning curve on the tech, but it functions well once mastered. So far I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

Leased new GV80 2.5L Turbo and after 1k miles, this vehicle is so smooth and easy to drive. I've read some concerning issues other owners experienced but so far, no issues to report. I suspect Genesis all over resolving these issues. GV80 is superbly built and every surface area and control is top notch. This vehicle is large but handles like a smaller vehicle. Mileage so far, 28 Highway, 23 city.

GV80 Prestige Package 3.5T

I love this vehicle, every aspect. I read the other 18 reviews and I have had none of their issues. I purchased my vehicle in April 2021 and have driven it over 11k miles in a little over 5 months. The only negative I’ve seen is getting an appointment for service. I live near multiple Genesis dealerships and they all are booked solid. I found this to be true for my Nissan vehicles must be an industry issue during the pandemic. I have gotten dozens of positive unsolicited comments concerning this vehicle. I have never experienced that with the other vehicles I have owned from Lexus, Mercedes, and BMW. My vehicle is loaded with all the upgraded features which makes my ride fantastic. The stereo system is out of this world. The interior is very luxurious. I drove from St. Louis to Myrtle Beach in one day and I did not feel beat up. My gas mileage on the highway averages around 28 miles per gallon. Locally I get about 17 to 19 miles per gallon using the cheap gas. The safety features are top notch. I highly recommend this vehicle.
