2022 Genesis GV80

The GV80 was the first SUV from Hyundai's luxury brand, Genesis. It competes with the Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Lexus RX. It shares its architecture with the redesigned G80. Both rear and all-wheel drive versions are available. The standard engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbo and the uplevel engine is a punchy 3.5-liter V6 turbo. A small third row seat is optional. The GV80 is taut and agile, with a steady ride and responsive steering. The interior is swanky but the new infotainment system is very tricky to use. The GV80 comes standard with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking that can also detect vehicles approaching from the side in addition to pedestrians, blind spot warning, and rear cross traffic warning with emergency braking. For 2025 the Genesis GV80 received a freshening plus a new Coupe version driven by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 which can be paired with an optional 48V mild-hybrid system Genesis refers to as an "e-Supercharger". In addition to exterior styling changes, the refresh also included a large standard 27-inch screen which replaced the previously separate infotainment and gauge cluster displays. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also became standard.

Brand context

About Genesis

Genesis, Hyundai Motor Group’s upscale brand, competes with well-established luxury automakers, but its vehicles often cost less than European equivalents. The brand sells a variety of sedans and SUVs, including several EVs. In Consumer Reports’ tests, Genesis models have impressed. Their ride and handling are balanced, fit and finish is excellent, and meaningful driver assistance systems are usually standard. Unfortunately, the once easy-to-use controls in earlier models have become more complicated. Reliability varies: some models have dropped to below average reliability ratings, while others achieved average reliability, enough to earn Consumer Reports’ recommendations.
