Great comfy, quiet car!

We really like our GV-80! It drives great and is very quiet. The extra features are excellent - nearly self driving on the highways. Cruise control and lane centering works in stop and go traffic all the way up to top speeds (it's very fast). The heads-up display is really helpful, as are the blind spot cameras. I also like that I can do software updates at home instead of having to take it to the dealer. Great car!

9 months of ownership, 4 months in the dealership. You receive the welcome light from the side mirrors first, then you receive another engine welcome light when you step into the car.

Dangerous

This is the beginning of my campaign. This beautiful and expensive vehicle has turned into a nightmare. Although Genesis has offered me money to be quiet and go away or opportunity to buy it back neither option is reasonable or fair. So my journey begins. It looks so nice and has all the bells and whistles but mechanically, electrically, and operationally it is flawed to the point where it is dangerous. I’ll keep you posted……please don’t buy one of these……..mine is a 2023 GV 80.

Genesis GV80 (2023) Review: From Dreamboat to Date

Let me tell you about my Genesis GV80 I bought in 2023, brand new, because this wasn’t just a car purchase. This was the one. He swept me off my feet. Stylish, smooth, luxurious. He had presence. He had promise. He had... lane assist. And that, my friends, was one of the main reasons I signed that dotted line. I was smitten. The first year and a half? Absolute heaven. Lane assist was the co-pilot of my dreams—confident, reliable, always there to gently guide me through traffic like a well-trained emotional support boyfriend. I used to brag about it. "Oh, you just got a Tesla? That’s cute. My GV80 ALSO senses the road.” But then—like any good Dateline episode—the relationship took a turn. It started with subtle mood swings.Like any good passive-aggressive relationship. One minute he’s hugging the lane like a supportive boyfriend, the next he’s trying to yeet himself into oncoming traffic with all the grace of a confused toddler on skates. I'm talking, “The grass is greener over there,” he whispers seductively as he swerves toward a ditch, a semi, or literally anywhere but the road. And that smug little green circle stays on like, “Yes, queen, this is definitely the way.” All I know is one day he decided that the white lines on the road were merely suggestions and that perhaps we were destined for that patch of gravel, or the loving embrace of a passing semi.Meanwhile, I’m white-knuckling the wheel, doing deep breathing exercises, and wondering if the GV80 has secretly joined a death cult. And then—oh, THEN—you add cruise control with active lane assist into the mix? That’s when things get next level. Like, “WTF, are we driving or enrolling in an experimental AI program?” Suddenly the car decides it’s self-aware, starts making executive decisions, and I’m just a passenger in what feels like a government test of trust issues. There’s nothing quite like watching your luxury SUV confidently steer itself into a lane you didn’t choose while telling you, with its smug little green ring, “Relax. I’ve got this.” Spoiler: it does not got this. So there I was, testing the very feature that sold me on this car—lane assist—stone-cold sober, yet somehow driving like I'd had three margaritas , a case of beer and 8 tequila shots. When was your first time ever using a breathalyzer? Me? That day. Not because I needed it, but because I needed to prove to the police officer (and myself) that I wasn’t the problem. Honestly, I told the cop that it’s the GV80 that needs to blow next time. He’s the one making questionable choices. And the gaslighting? Oh, it’s a masterpiece, chef’s kiss. He jerks into a new lane, narrowly avoiding vehicular Tinder, and then after nearly sideswiping a Prius and flirting with the guardrail, he flashes the “Drive Carefully” warning like I’M the unhinged one. Like, okay, Chad. Maybe if you weren’t trying to cuddle with every car in traffic, we wouldn’t be in this situation. So naturally, I took him to the dealership like, “Look, he’s not well.” But wouldn’t you know it? Smooth. Silent. The golden child. Suddenly he’s on his best behavior and performing like he just got accepted into Juilliard. “Nothing’s wrong with it,” they say. Oh sure. I bet he paid them off. Probably uploaded a Venmo payment from his built-in navigation screen while I was distracted by the massaging seat function. Classic sociopath. In conclusion, the GV80 is hot and then cold, yes and then no, in and then out, up and then down. Katy Perry was clearly describing this vehicle. It’s a toxic situationship on wheels. One minute I love him. The next, I’m wondering if he’s actively trying to kill me. Buy him if you want luxury, drama, and the adrenaline rush of never knowing if today is the day you die—or arrive in style....and the added thrill of wondering what personality your vehicle will have today. Final Verdict: 1 star — subtracting 5 for emotional trauma, adding 1 back for the heated seats.

Better than my Range Rover or Cayenne

I have had my GV80 about a year and a half and it has been PERFECT! I looked at a used Bentley Bentayga ($192k) and the Genesis had more features. Comfortable and smooth rides are amazing, and it can still be used to haul what we need to.
