I haven't had my 2021 3.5T Prestige for long and it isn't perfect, but it is a real luxury SUV that doesn't force me to deal with the local Teutonic service crowd. The engine is smooth and powerful, and interesting enough the manufacturer specifies any grade of unleaded fuel - the only proviso in the manual being that you get a bit more power when running 'premium'. Lots of tech in this vehicle and the manual doesn't really make the process of understanding where everything is as simple as I'd like - a bit of searching on YouTube and I came across a well made consumer's video that walked me through it all and now it is pretty much second nature. All is not, however perfect in GV80-land. My vehicle's sound system (by Lexicon) sounds very nice, however the sub-woofers don't work and one of the tweeters doesn't tweet. The dealer will look at it next week when it goes in to have the atrociously expensive winter wheel package installed (I went for the 19" wheels, because I find the 22" summer wheels to give the vehicle a harsh ride over bad roads). Two other issues with the sound system are that the Bluetooth media channel and the AM radio have poor quality sound - the good news is that the AM radio station I listen to happens to be available on an HD radio channel and if I want to, I can tune it in on the Iheartradio app - though the latter probably would use the substandard Bluetooth connection. I will try it at some point And people at headquarters, if you are going to supply Android Auto and Apple Carplay, which, in their wired configurations require special Gen 3.2 USB cables, provide the cables with the vehicle. For my part I am waiting to receive a wireless adapter that I've ordered which obviates the need for the cable and makes the inductive charging actually useful. Certain things do bother me; No tech is perfect and that applies to the GV80 as much as anything else. As far as I can determine there is no way to disable to crash mitigation system and twice the vehicle mistook shadows on the street for vehicles and initiated the 'imminent crash' protocol, beeping loudly, tightening the seat belts and mashing the brakes. The good news it that no one was tailgating me either time. The manufacturer has chosen to use HD radio for their live traffic service. Unfortunately there is no HD data were I live, so I don't get to see active traffic on the native navigation app. Separately, the navigator doesn't display the names of upcoming cross streets - the former could have been dealt with by using SiriusXM for traffic the way Chrysler and Ford do and the latter . . . . well, there is simply no excuse. I am located in Canada, so we have fewer variations of the vehicle available and I chose the 3.5 Prestige to get the electronic speedometer and all of the other accoutrements. The vehicle sells in Canada for $85K Canadian and that the middle row seat isn't power (it is ventilated) and the vehicle doesn't come with smart card support or NFC locks the way it does in the US is simply wrong, but for that I can't fault the vehicle, it was a marketing decision. Another complaint is that there simply isn't much in the way of storage space - my last SUV had lots of places to stuff things into - this one doesn't even have a decent organiser for the console storage. I have a background in human factors engineering - there are things that could be done a bit more intuitively and features which should be improved - nothing fatal - but software is easily modified, so why not be the best that it can be? To date I've only had little 'nits' - the self parking is a neat gadget, but is somewhat slow to execute (I can park it quicker) and the cameras and lane keeping tech is pretty good, if perhaps mainly gadgetry, since the adaptive cruise suffers the universal problem of speeding up when the car ahead of you enters a curve and on curves it can simply lose the line - no climbing into the back seat for me!! Would I buy it again? (I purchased, rather than leasing.) It might have been better to lease and then purchase the electric version when it comes out - the resale value is going to be miserable unless there's a major lithium shortage over the next few years. But it is a REALLY nice vehicle to drive in and the Cardiff Green exterior (which reminds me of the color of my old 1972 Datsun 240Z) with its Green/Brown interior and suede roof lining cradles me in luxury.

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.

Do not buy this suv! Within two weeks of buying the 2021 gv80 it developed a high pressure rule line leak. Within 250 miles I returned the gv80 to dealership and was informed that it did have a failed high pressure rule line. They have informed me that a replacement part is on back order with no eta. It’s been three weeks with no joy. Avoid this suv! Do not buy!
