Genesis, a luxury car brand, has been doing well in recent years. One of their popular models, the GV80 SUV, has gotten a little update to boost its sales. Before we even got to test drive the cars, Genesis said they would be selling in more states in the U.S., going from nine to 35 dealerships. This means more people will have access to buying Genesis cars, especially the GV80 SUV. This SUV makes up a big chunk of Genesis sales in the U.S., with over 14,000 sold in the first quarter of this year.
Now, let’s talk about the car itself. The GV80 still comes with two engine options: a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-4 engine or a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine. Both have all-wheel drive and come with an 8-speed transmission. Pricing for the GV80 starts at around $58,700 for the base model and goes up to $79,300 for the top-tier package.
Most of the changes in the updated GV80 are in its looks. It has a new emblem on the hood, updated LED headlights, and a redesigned grille. The front bumper looks more aggressive now, which means it looks tougher and more intense. Inside, the car is still very luxurious, with lots of leather and fancy finishes. They even have new color options for the leather seats.
The technology inside the car has also been upgraded. There’s a big 27-inch screen that shows all the important stuff like navigation and entertainment. It’s much easier to use than before, especially since it combines the infotainment and gauge cluster screens into one big display. Plus, it supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
When it comes to driving, not much has changed. The car still feels comfortable and smooth on the road, though it might bounce a bit too much over bumps. The advanced driver assistance systems work well, helping to keep the car in its lane and maintain a safe distance from other cars.
The 2025 Genesis GV80 is a great luxury SUV that’s gotten a few nice updates. With its stylish looks, comfortable interior, and smooth driving experience, it’s sure to continue being a popular choice for luxury car buyers.
