KBB Review Highlights
In a crowded class with the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Lexus RX, and Lincoln Aviator, the 2021 Genesis GV80 is confident and packs an elegant punch. This model’s design is athletic and refined. Twin lines on the front are functional and distinctive, establishing the basis for the front end’s LED lighting.
All GV80 SUVs arrive with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Buyers can go with standard rear-wheel drive (RWD) or available all-wheel drive (AWD) and can choose from two peppy engines, a 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder or a boosted twin-turbo V6. For the power-hungry, lean into the V6. It is dynamic in performance and brings the oomph for a satisfying drive experience. For those who crave efficiency, the standard 2.5-liter’s smooth drive will meet their daily driving needs.
The 2021 GV80 boosts its credibility by delivering a full safety suite standard (not piece-mealing it through the trim lines) and abundant creature comforts like massage seats and covered touchpoints. Drivers will also appreciate the ease of the driver assistance, which improves the standard adaptative cruise control and lane-keeping assist. Most functions in the 2021 GV80 are accessible through the 14.5-inch touchscreen. Still, the vehicle retains a refreshing number of buttons to allow for easy access to frequently used functions like media control and vehicle dynamics.
With generous space, the GV80’s cabin is calm. Comfort for all passengers is primary. It is a by-product of good design and efficient use of space. Genesis Connected Services adds a suite of digital, remote, and in-car services that elevate the experience for drivers. The effect is soothing and speaks to the effortless luxury driven by the Genesis brand. A stellar sound system with 12 speakers, simple connectivity, climate control, rain-sensing windshield, massaging front seats, and 60/40-folding rear seating make the vehicle a flexible and confident choice wherever the road takes you. The GV80 is a delightfully decadent package and the first from the Korean luxury brand.
Delivering on the Genesis brand promise of effortless luxury made extraordinary, the 2021 GV80 is a handsome SUV backed by a generous warranty.
