After a decidedly bumpy takeoff, Genesis, Hyundai’s luxury brand, yet it is gaining height. The company’s cars have been forged efforts, accumulating quality and reliability rewards while winning over buyers of high-end classic brands with the strength of smart value. But it’s also Genesis’s big problem: it only features cars. While the world’s major markets are increasingly leaning toward SUVs, Genesis has only had a lot of sedans in its showrooms, and its sales haven’t really ignited the world, even before the pandemic. This conundrum deserves to be replaced in spite of everything later this year with the arrival of the SUV Genesis GV80 2021 here, the new most promising and vital model of the brand.
Roadshow’s Craig Cole scored his first revision of a single Korean GV80 diesel at Genesis location in January, but at the time we didn’t have many specifications for American engines or aircraft. Although we still can’t drive an American style for some time, we now have a much more complete picture of the GV80 after Genesis lent us a pre-production style in Detroit to search for a day.

Unfortunately, thanks to COVID-19, the first sales of the GV80 were delayed until this fall. That said, the day we spent observing this style suggests that it will be a wonderful three-row luxury SUV. No doubt a careful turn will be required, but the low-end versions of the GV80 deserve to offer Acura and Buick product planners absolute adjustments, and the high-end GV80s seem to have the power, elegance, generation and price to challenge luxury powers. like Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Lexus with everything they can take care of as well.
Although its impetuous appearance is not to everyone’s liking, the GV80 looks adequately high-end. And with everything from an NFC-sharing virtual key to a first organization of 3-d virtual meters and a new augmented reality navigation formula, the GV80 promises that both cockpit and opulent intelligence have compatibility and final grades to compete with those in the segment. . Array Audi Q7, BMW X5, Mercedes GLE and Volvo XC90, good looking.
Available in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel-drive versions, the Genesis GV80 2021 will be powered by a 2.5-liter turbo I4 or a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, any of which will offer a more competitive strength than the class. The figures. The four-cylinder will provide an estimated strength of three hundred horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, surpassing not only the figures of 2.0T for the Q7 and GLE, but also in the much larger 3.5-liter herbal suction V6s of the popular Acura MDX and Lexus RX. Waste on the six 3.5-litre all-wheel drive engines only generates 375 horsepower and 381 pound-feet, figures that surpass comparable models from Audi, BMW and Mercedes. With a maximum torque buildup from 1300 rpm, this transmission mix looks sturdy and eminently manoeuvrable.
Despite the GV80’s emphasis on luxury, as it is a three-row SUV, this crossover is probably also a specialist in school and family travel. As such, it’s smart for diversity to come with a battery of complex protection features, as well as having remote parking (“Smaht Pahk”) and a partially automated Level 2 driving formula with low-vocal lane settings through the driver. A litany of brain protectors, the addition of massage seats, active suppression of road noise and a Lexicon 21-speaker audio formula will also be tempting pieces in the options list.
The GV80 is a charming SUV.
Starting at $49,925, adding a target payment of $1,025 for a 2.5T RWD, well-equipped GV80s are likely to live in the $60,000 range. You splurge on a Prestige 3.5T all checked boxes, and you will get a net result of more than $72,000. It’s a lot of money, but when the specifications are comparable to those of its rivals, the Genesis GV80 2021 still has the value of a luxury style challenger and is not a member of the Euro-Japanese system.
Despite its wise price, make no mistake: unlike the larger luxury models that came from Korea, the GV80 does not seem content to live as an “economic alternative” to high-end establishment. No, this brutal SUV aims to deliver without excuse, a fashionable luxury without an asterisk.
