Full-Size CrossoverProduct Gallery
Product Overview
The Genesis GV80 is a midsize luxury crossover, the first such vehicle in the brand's vehicle lineup. Built on the same platform as the 3rd-gen Genesis G80, the GV80 shares the two petrol engines with the G80, while an inline-6 diesel is also available.
Unlike most crossovers in the segment, the GV80 is based on a RWD platform and is available with RWD drivetrain layout for all engine options.
The GV80 shares with the G80 many design features, such as the marque's Crest Grille, the Quad Lamps, and the Parabolic Line. Inside, it again resembles the G80 sedan. The myriad of driver assist functions, packaged in the Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), is also shared with the G80.

External Reviews
autocar[1]
Reviewer score 48% (normalized by Neofiliac)The bigger-booted version can swallow up to 735 litres of cargo with the third-row seats folded down. The SUV feels even more softly sprung and comfort-biased than the lower, leaner saloon. The steering is medium-paced but light and slightly woolly in feel, the brake pedal likewise big on power assistance.
Pros
- Looks and feels like a luxury car
- Comfortable to drive
- Lots of standard equipment
Cons
- Not the most comfortable to drive

Reviewer score 70% (normalized by Neofiliac)Genesis has won awards in the few markets it already exists in - notably the US - for quality. The whole Genesis experience, with a new way of buying, is expected to appeal as much as the cars themselves. Everything is done online or via Genesis ‘Studios' that won't be traditional dealerships, they'll be shopfronts in upmarket shopping centres.
Pros
- Sleek styling
- Excellent infotainment system
Cons
- Fiddly ride
- Lack of low-speed ride finesse

Reviewer score 74% (normalized by Neofiliac)The 2.5T's cabin remains posh, original and very well equipped. While you can't get all the luxury fixins found in the V6 model, the GV80's interior still feels upscale. The extra power -- 375 hp and 391 lb-ft -- and refinement makes the six-cylinder engine a worthy upgrade.
Pros
- Powerful six-cylinder engine
- Lots of standard equipment
- Decent ride quality
Cons
- Slightly heavier than V6 models
- Lack of infotainment tech
