Genesis GV80 Challenges Euro Luxury Cars in Prestige Stakes
The redesigned 2025 Genesis GV80 has arrived, bringing with it a host of luxurious features and impressive performance capabilities that challenge the traditional European luxury SUV market. With a starting price of $75,000 for the 2.5-liter version and topping out at $95,500 for the top-of-the-line Prestige trim with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, the GV80 positions itself as a compelling alternative to established luxury brands.
This luxury SUV is more than just a pretty face; it delivers on performance and handling. Despite its size, the GV80 handles like a much smaller, more agile sedan. The V6 engine purrs smoothly, and the responsive suspension provides a comfortable ride, even on rough roads. The GV80 also features advanced technology, including a system that detects potholes ahead and adjusts the suspension accordingly.
Luxury Features Abound
Inside, the GV80 boasts a luxurious cabin with numerous thoughtful touches. One standout feature is the ‘Mood Curator’ system, which allows drivers to select from four different mood modes: Vitality, Delight, Care, and Comfort. These modes adjust various aspects of the cabin environment, including ambient lighting, music, and even scent dispersal. The system also includes massage seats and reclining functionality for added comfort.
The GV80 also impresses with its practical features, such as a 27-inch OLED widescreen display that integrates the instrument cluster and touchscreen navigation. This setup is not only visually stunning but also easy to use while driving. Other convenient features include a remotely operable key fob for parking in tight spaces and a smartphone charging tray that’s both accessible and functional.
While it may not be the ultimate off-road vehicle, the GV80 is capable of towing up to 6,000 pounds and features all-wheel drive, making it suitable for various driving conditions. With its combination of luxury, performance, and innovative features, the 2025 Genesis GV80 is certainly worth considering for those in the market for a high-end SUV.
