Genesis GV80 vs BMW X5
Genesis GV80, BMW X5, and the Midsize Luxury SUV Class
Is it enough for the 2024 BMW X5 to rely on its historical reputation? Or can a new brand actually challenge it at its own game? The 2024 Genesis GV80 definitely has the right stuff to do just that.
A Question of Sophistication and Quality
BMW is known for high quality interiors. So the question is: can Genesis do better? The 2024 Genesis GV80 has an original style with designer good looks. Every inch is covered in a high quality material and finished with a suitable level of craftsmanship.
There are more amenities even at the GV80’s lower asking price. That’s one way that Genesis has been shifting the playing field in its favor. After all, everyone likes to get more for less, even when buying luxury models.
Genesis lets you cut back to four seats with VIP chairs on the second row. Or you can add a third row for extra seats. Either way, you’ve got better second-row legroom than you would on the BMW X5. To see for yourself, take a backseat in the GV80 before you take a test drive at our Phoenix Genesis dealership.
The Matter of Price and Value Considerations
Both the BMW X5 and rival Genesis GV80 come with a full suite of driver assistance. However, the Genesis actually packs more into their entry level edition. This helps make it a better value for the money.
A Genesis purchase can actually start out $6,000 cheaper than a similar BMW entry level purchase. Savvy shoppers often use that difference to add the packages or trim level they want while still spending less than they would on a similar BMW X5.
Furthermore, an $82,000 MSRP is the top of the GV80 trim ladder. A BMW X5 can go up to $124,000, demanding $42,000 more.
Few people would find the need to spend that much more when they look at all you get on the Genesis. Sophistication, top tech toys and stylish materials create the luxury package that most consumers want. You can get more details in this new Genesis GV80 review.
A Need to Please the Driver
Of course, a luxury car needs to please the driver. This requires performance, and the Genesis GV80 obliges with three powertrains. The 2024 standard is a 300-horsepower engine that spits out 311 lb-ft of torque.
Matching the BMW X5, the 2024 Genesis turbo generates a healthy 375 horsepower. The 2025 Genesis Coupe plans to challenge higher BMW models with its own 409-horsepower engine.
For those who love a speedy car, you can rule the road for less in a Genesis GV80.
The Most Basic Requirements Plus
The 2024 Genesis GV80 has the most basic requirements covered. By this, we are referring to its 10 airbags and its excellent safety record. It has earned the 5-star federal safety rating and the Insurance Institute award, Top Safety Pick+. In all of these instances, it has surpassed the BMW X5.
Furthermore, the Genesis GV80 comes with a long list of the latest driver assistance systems. Genesis hasn’t just followed the benchmarks. It has been creating its own technologies that can actively assist the driver with crash avoidance and certain driver duties.
While BMW has the typical 4-year luxury warranties, Genesis goes far beyond to offer an extra year of limited coverage and up to six years of extra powertrain coverage. That’s peace of mind.
