2023 Genesis GV80 review

1. Two potent engine options

The 2023 Genesis GV80 has two engine options, each with more than enough power to move this luxury SUV in comfort and style. Standard is a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing a solid 300 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. If you want a little more oomph, optional on all trims is a 3.5L turbocharged V6 engine that increases output to 375 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. Both engine options are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. With the Genesis GV80, everything from zipping through the city to cruising on the highway feels effortless.

2. Spacious and luxurious interior

If you're shopping for a luxury SUV, you'll love the cabin of the 2023 Genesis GV80. With 108.7 cu-ft of passenger volume, 41.6 inches of front-seat legroom, and 38.7 inches of rear-seat legroom, every occupant has room to stretch out in supreme comfort. Combine this with standard features like simulated leather upholstery (full leather on the Advanced and Prestige trims) and heated front seats (plus heated rear seats on the Prestige trim), and you have a recipe for a supremely comfortable SUV that you and your passengers will love traveling in.

3. Lengthy list of standard features

The 2023 Genesis GV80 has a jam-packed list of features across the range, with a large number even on the base trim. Looking for amenities like a power liftgate, alloy wheels, wireless charging pad, and front and rear parking sensors? You'll get all of these and more on the GV80 Standard trim. For extra touches of luxury, the Advanced trim offers amenities like a panoramic roof and 21-speaker sound system, and the Prestige trim offers tri-zone climate control.

4. Driver-assistance technologies

The 2023 Genesis GV80 has a great selection of driver aids that help make driving this full-size luxury SUV an absolute breeze. The Standard trim includes a full suite of tech, including adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. The Advanced trim adds a blind-spot viewing monitor, a surround-view camera system for parking in tight spots, and an automated parking system.

5. Spacious trunk

In the standard five-seat configuration, the 2023 Genesis GV80 matches its spacious cabin with an equally roomy trunk. In this configuration, you'll get 34.9 cu-ft of cargo volume behind the rear seats. Even in the optional seven-seat configuration with extra third-row seats, you'll still get a useful 11.6 cu-ft of luggage space. Fold the rear seats down and that swells to a whopping 84 cu-ft of luggage volume—ideal for loading up with supplies or home furnishings.
