2023 Genesis GV80 Review | Award-Winning Large SUV
From its spacious interior to its generous features list, there’s much to recommend the 2023 Genesis GV80. It even comes in 2-row and 3-row editions to suit different families.
Quality materials and a highly crafted interior ensure a high-class atmosphere to complement the luxury look. Advanced technology is key to every aspect from the smart engines to the entertainment system and driver aids.
How does this Genesis SUV match up with your expectations of a luxury car? In this review, you’ll learn about trim levels, features, technologies, performance stats and other details.
Performance Specifications
The GV80 has a turbo four engine that generates 300 horsepower. Torque rate is 311 pound-feet. An 8 speed automatic transmission assists with acceleration and fuel economy. Rear-wheel drive is standard with all-wheel drive on the menu.
A twin-turbo V6 is the biggest performer. Output mirrors that of a V8, but it is much more fuel efficient, especially with its specially designed transmission. The 3.5T engine generates 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. As a serious utility vehicle, the GV80 definitely can tow. It offers a maximum rating of a generous 6,000 pounds with either engine choice.
With this set-up, the Genesis GV80 makes the 0-60 mph sprint in just 5.3 seconds. Special reinforcements are used to make sure the 2023 GV80 SUV can handle the higher rate of speed.
Interior Style and Features
Any Phoenix AZ luxury car review must state whether the ride has ventilated seats. Not only does the 2023 Genesis GV80 offer them, but this feature is unique to Genesis. The power-ventilation increases its speed as the GV80 goes faster. This neat trick helps keep the driver and front passenger more comfortable.
Luxury SUV seats come in a lush leatherette or leather. The dash also has a wrapped upper instrument panel. Trims come in olive ash wood, black high gloss, or a metallic pore filler Ash wood.
New Genesis cabins are well-stocked with ambient lighting, push button start, an auto dimming mirror, and rear folding seats. The dual climate control system and standard rear sunshades help everyone stay comfortable.
Dual power chairs have walk-in capability to make it easy to get in and out. A driver’s memory chair has a Smart Posture feature and is able to recommend the best perch. Both power chairs also have 4-way power lumbar settings. You can try out GV80 special seating when you schedule a test drive.
As the flagship of the Genesis line-up, the 2023 Genesis GV80 has an especially big interior. The 2-row model has 108.7 cubic feet of passenger space. Second-row legroom is a generous 38.7 inches. That’s 1.3 inches more than the higher priced BMW X5.
The cargo area measures 34.9 cubic feet with a standard cover and helpful net. You can get more space by folding the seats. Then the area measures 84 cubic feet.
Trim Levels
The Genesis GV80 2.5T AWD Advanced trim level has leather seats, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof. A Blind Spot View monitor and extensive parking aids are also added.
Stepping up to the GV80 2.5T AWD Prestige, the owner gets even more crash avoidance aids. Interior standards include 3-zone climate controls, heated 2nd row seats, the Ergo Motion driver’s seat, and the navigation system.
3.5T AWD Advanced models mirror the 2.5T Advanced package but add some elements of the lower trim level Prestige package. This includes the seating upgrades and much of the driver assistance. If you step over to the Genesis GV80 3.5T Advanced Plus, Genesis adds a third row of seats. The optional third row can be power-folded and have a 50/50 split for versatility.
3.5T Prestige models add the 3D instrument cluster, Nappa leather, and a suede headliner. Passengers will love the rear power chairs with power-ventilation. Door closure and the rear door shades have power functions. There are 21 speakers for the top Lexicon audio system.
Genesis put much thought into how to make the entertainment system easy to use. Complemented by a digital instrument display, the 14.5-inch touchscreen is long and narrow. The system lets drivers choose how to interact via steering wheel buttons, voice commands, a handwriting feature and an integrated controller.
Safety Aids and Driver Assistance
Automotive journalists often state that the Genesis GV80 price buys a lot more car for the money. It certainly offers more at a lower cost than the standard BMW X5 price and package or the Mercedes Benz GLE price and package. The 2022 and 2021 Genesis GV80 earned Best Buy Awards from Kelley Blue Book (KBB), and the 2023 has done the same. In fact, it is the top rated in its class at KBB.
As a luxury brand, Genesis is a leader in initial quality and other areas, according to JD Power studies over the last few years. Furthermore the GV80 was named an Editor’s Choice by prestigious Car and Driver magazine.
Genesis Smart Cruise Control is more advanced than systems on many other luxury SUVs. It slows and goes, but it also has the ability to reduce speed just before a curve on the highway. That’s thanks to navigation-enhanced technology exclusive to the Genesis family. Furthermore, the luxurious SUV offers Intelligent Speed Assist to let you know about speed limit changes that may affect your set cruising speed.
