Overview

Written by automotive expert Jared Gall

2/20/2026

If you still have a hard time taking Genesis seriously as a luxury brand, the GV80 is your sign to get with the times. This midsize SUV doesn't just match longstanding luxury brands in feature content; it equals them in feel, fit and finish. The leather is supple, the wood trim feels solid, and the design is striking inside and out. And for 2025, Genesis has spun off an in-vogue coupe model of the GV80, which we review separately. The GV80 feels like a party Genesis is throwing to celebrate its arrival.

Edmunds spotlight: High-tech suspension

Even the most advanced suspensions are usually reactive, meaning the tire rolls over a bump or dip and the spring and damper move accordingly. The GV80's available Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview, however, is a proactive system. It uses a camera to scan the road ahead, spotting surface irregularities and preparing the suspension at the appropriate wheels. Say you drive over a pothole with the passenger-side tires. The GV80 can individually soften the spring at each corner just before it encounters the pothole, allowing the wheel to glide over it with less of a jolt transmitted to the cabin. It's a trick bit of tech that is becoming more common on luxury flagships but is still rare at the GV80's price point.

Competitors to consider

Shoppers looking for a midsize luxury SUV have to sift through an embarrassment of solid choices. The Mercedes-Benz GLE and BMW X5 are among the best all-around entries, while buyers with some financial flexibility looking for something a little more athletic should check out the Porsche Cayenne. For enthusiasts at the rugged end of the spectrum, the Land Rover Defender is available in a bewildering number of configurations, one of which will surely meet your needs and budget.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Jonathan Elfalan

Good

6.8

out of 10

We drove the Genesis GV80 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

6.9/10

How does the Genesis GV80 drive? The GV80 offers both four- and six-cylinder turbocharged engines with impressive specs. Our test GV80 came with the larger 3.5-liter V6 engine and covered 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds in our testing. That's quick for a midsize SUV, but most competitors with six-cylinder engines are slightly faster.

Engine aside, the rest of the GV80 driving experience isn't that remarkable. The brakes respond a little abruptly, steering feels a tad heavy even in Comfort mode, and handling, while not sloppy, isn't as tight or composed on a curvy road as in German rivals. As a highway cruiser, though, the GV80 does great. Among its highlights is a very smooth ride, thanks to electronically controlled suspension that scans the road ahead via a forward-facing camera and makes suspension adjustments quickly on the fly.

Seeing out of the cabin is also easy thanks to large windows and the available surround-view camera system. There are also plenty of advanced driver aids — many of them standard — that function very well to help make driving easier, including the Hyundai/Genesis semi-hands-free driving system.

Comfort

6.2/10

How comfortable is the Genesis GV80? The GV80 is comparable in passenger space to the average midsize luxury SUV with one exception: Headroom is a little tighter. The step-in height feels a tad higher than average, but the seat height is at hip level for the average adult, which allows you to slip in pretty easily. 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 second row offers enough space for a rear-facing child seat in back of the driver, and the two sets of LATCH anchors are easy to access, although not quite as easy as an Isofix equivalent.

Seat comfort is very good, and the GV80 is well insulated against sound and vibrations. The tri-zone climate control is also a highlight for its ease of use, but we can't say the same about the infotainment system's dial controller — we found it difficult to use accurately.

In-cabin tech

8.4/10

How’s the tech? There are plenty of advanced driver aids, and most of them come standard and function very well to help make driving easier. The wide navigation screen is slightly undermined by a lack of street names (similar to BMW). It looks clean but isn't very helpful in real-world use. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto phone integration comes standard, and you can interact with both via the touchscreen instead of the clunky dial controller array. The voice controls work well and understand fairly natural speech but really only work with navigation. Some rival systems allow voice commands to adjust settings and other functions. The 21-speaker optional premium audio system's sound quality is also quite impressive.

Buying Tips for the 2025 Genesis GV80 for March

The 2025 Genesis GV80 has intriguing price dynamics and inventory levels that can help you negotiate a better deal.

Buyers are paying around 6.3% less than the sticker price for the 2025 Genesis GV80, translating to a savings of approximately $4,291 off the MSRP depending on the trim.
The 2.5T Standard trim offers significant value with a 6% savings off MSRP, making it a potential value opportunity in the lineup.
There are no special incentives or APR offers available for this model at this time.
Nationwide new inventory is currently available, with certain trims like the 2.5T Standard having higher numbers in stock. Since this trim is spending an average of 343 days on dealer lots, there's plenty of room for negotiation on price.
For leasing options, the median monthly payment for the 2.5T Standard trim is around $841 with about $5,841 due at signing.
If considering a used GV80, the lowest displayed dealer price for the model is approximately $40,415, with plenty of used stock available, particularly for the 2.5T Standard trim.

Storage & cargo

7.4/10

How’s storage and cargo? 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. The third-row seats available in V6 models fold with one touch, too. The cargo area is wide and is roomy enough for daily errands or the occasional road trip. Up front, storage for personal effects is better than in the average luxury SUV. The small bonus storage area underneath the center console is 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 can lug more than 7,000 pounds.

Value

7.9/10

Is the Genesis 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 a level above typical Japanese luxury SUVs, but a step behind Audi, BMW and Mercedes.

One area Genesis holds an indisputable lead in 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.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

MPG

3/10

How’s the fuel economy? The GV80 with the V6 engine gets an EPA-estimated 20 mpg in combined driving, which is slightly less efficient than competitors with six-cylinder 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 some restraint.

X factor

7/10

The GV80 sports a pretty striking design with unique elegance. It may not appeal to everyone, especially with its liberal inspiration from the ultra-luxe Bentley brand, but it's distinctive and represents a form that is identifiably Genesis. Its twin-turbo V6 is peppy and the ride is incredibly comfortable. But besides being pleasant transportation, the GV80 is rarely exciting.

2025 Genesis GV80 trim level differences

The 2025 Genesis GV80 is a midsize luxury SUV available in five trim levels: Standard, Base, Select, Advanced and Prestige. There are two engine options: 2.5T models are powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder that makes 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, while 3.5T trims get a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 generating 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft. Both engines are paired exclusively with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The Standard, Base and Select trims are only available with the four-cylinder, while buyers of the Advanced and Prestige can choose either engine. Keep reading for a rundown of the most significant features that come on each trim level. Compare the 2025 Genesis GV80 trim levels in-depth.

Which GV80 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Most of the luxury and tech features available on the GV80 are standard on the 2.5T Prestige, including heated, ventilated and massaging front seats, heated rear seats, automated parking, the Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview, and active noise cancellation. If you don't need the kids-only third row of seating — which is only available in the V6-powered 3.5T trims — the equivalent 2.5T will save you several thousand dollars. And the 2.5T's turbocharged four-cylinder is plenty powerful.

GV80 PRESTIGE IMMOBILIZED FOR 369 DAYS!

Disappointed GENESIS customer, 05/14/2024

2024 Genesis GV80 3.5T 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

A real CATASTROPHIC GENESIS GV80 consumer experience. Genesis motor america, hyundai national customer service, bbb autoline did not help me: there were only trying to force me to accept the repurchase instead of a full replacement of the lemon vehicle (not to my benefice). Hyundai’s attorney made false accusations trying to dismiss the claim: genesis motor america, llc (gma/hma) does … definitely not stand behind they consumers! Same with sedgwick (third party in charge of the claim on behalf of hma/gma): dispute the provision of the lemon law (florida statutes chapter 681), they are trying to only accept the repurchase instead of replacement. Huge waste of money (in my case) to accept a repurchase instead of replacement. I have Safety Issues with my 2021 GV80 PRESTIGE: • Battery runs out of charge within one day without any rational reason (i.e., no lights, no alarm, no equipment in use) which put me at risk since the car would stop at any time without any warning. • Then, the Genesis Connected Services will sent alert messages every three (3) minutes for minor events (e.g., washer fluid low, window open, door unlocked…). Those same two problems were reproduced at HYUNDAI RICK CASE DAVIE FL – Official Agent even after two GENESIS FIELD SERVICE ENGINEERS changed the following parts (between May 203 and August 2023): i. JUNCTION BOX ASSY (Ref. 91950-T6032): The junction box assemble is the main fuse box on the driver’s side under the dash. ii. JUNCTION BLOCK-SUB (Ref. 91957-T6500): The junction box sub assembly is the fuse box location in the rear of the vehicle on the driver’s side. iii. AUDIO UNIT (Ref. 96560-T6600): The radio and navigation unit. iv. EXTERNAL AMP ASSY (Ref. 96370-T6700): The power amplifier for the audio unit. Timeline: On 04.20.2023, 04.21.2023 and 05.11.2023, my SUV (2021 GV80 3.5T Prestige, V6, AWD) was dropped at GENESIS official agent facility (RICK CASE DAVIE, FL) to be inspected and repaired based on the non-conformities described above. On 08.25.2023, BBB AUTOLINE ARBITRATION rules for a REPLACEMENT that manufacturer (GMA) refused to execute. Only unlawfully accept a REPURCHASE procedure (CONSUMER is loosing money on such offer). On 01.17.2024, after arbitration, FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL BOARD (AG) ordered to manufacturer (GMA) to provide a REPLACEMENT vehicle. The 40-day notice ended on 03.04.2024: The manufacturer still did comply with the order, and did not provide any replacement. FYI: Manufacturer did not appeal any of the arbitration decisions (BBB AUTOLINE& FL STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL). On 03.03.2024, MANUFACTURER (GMA) failed to provide REPLACEMENT vehicle. As today (05.13.2024), MANUFACTURER is in the process to provide me with a new 2024 GV80 but GMA is in violation of AG BOARD ORDER for 72 consecutive days. Based on applicable law (Florida Statutes Chapter 681) GMA is potentially subject of fines for each days being behind schedule. On 03.14.2024, I reported this claim to the NHTSA: Claim #11577476. My Lemon Car vehicle (subject of this claim) is still immobilized at the official agent (RICK CASE DAVIE, FL) since May 05, 2023, totalizing today, 369 days, without getting any loaner of replacement as clearly requested since May 30, 2023 when I filled my initial claim with the MANUFACTURER (GMA). PS: If I had accepted a REPURCHASE, I would have lost a lot of money. This is probably why MANUFACTURER is trying to corn its CONSUMERS with a REPURCHASE deal which is not to CONSUMER advantage. Hoping this will help you to make a decision. Do not give up: The Lemon Law is on CONSUMER side. If you are consistent and methodological, you do not need to hire anybody to represent you. Just follow the guidelines of the LEMON LAW procedure of the State where you file your claim. In Florida, it is just a form to complete and some documents to provide about the issue(s).

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2025 Genesis GV80, so we've included review for other years of the GV80 since its last redesign.
