2027 Genesis GV80

"Beware of cost of ownership"

"This is a good car to lease. After its 60k mile warranty is up the car is not worth it to own. Headlight repair alone is $3,000 just for the part plus installation at at lease another 1,000 because the front bumper has to come off making it not a simple repair. If your smart, dont buy this car and be sure to get rid of it when your lease is up. Otherwise it is what you would expect for a car costing 75k."

"Outstanding"

"I recently traded my GV80 because I'm retired and needed to dial back on spending. I've owned several other high end luxury vehicles. The Genesis stands out as the best I've owned. It has far to many features to mention in this review, but needless to say I wasn't missing anything. The comfort, the ride, the performance was absolutely stellar. Comparing apples and oranges, this was definitely waiting to be peeled. The value associated with this Genesis was unsurpassed."

"Excellent first impressions"

"After three weeks, I have been nothing but impressed with the GV80 3.5t Prestige. Style, comfort, and power are top-notch. The quality of the interior is unbelievable. The adaptive cruise control is excellent. I thought it would overreach to cars merging into my lane but it is smooth to adjust to the speed of the merging car. If the car is moving even a little faster, the system doesn't adjust my speed. Acceleration and power are perfect for me. A bit less than the middle engines of the German models but everything I want at a great price. If you want more, I recommend a sports car, not a SUV. Great space in front and back seats. The infotainment system took a week or so to fully understand. Now that everything is set for my profile, I rarely touch it. The active noise cancelling and 21 Lexicon audio system is amazing. Its like you are at the concert with no crowd (road) noise. The one small negative is the driver assist system being slow to turn into a curve. I tended to start the turn entering the curve, the system waits until the car has fully entered the curve before it responds. I am eager to see if the AI system learns from my driving behavior and adjusts. The system works great when the freeway is reasonably straight. It will let me ride for up to 10 minutes without indicating I need to put my hands on the wheel. If you are looking to buy a great luxury SUV for yourself and not impress others with the badge, this is the one."
