Genesis is not afraid of shiny trim, but it’s in wheel aesthetics that the automaker has been making its mark in recent years. Those on the GV80 aren’t quite as outlandish as we’ve seen on other Genesis models, but they’re still a welcome flourish amid. Up to 22-inch rims can be specified on the 2025 model.
Pricing kicks off at $58,700 (plus $1,350 destination) and, as before, there are two engine options. The entry GV80 2.5T gets a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-four, with 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Stepping up to the GV80 3.5T (from $73,800 plus destination) swaps that for a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, with 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque.
All-wheel drive is standard with both engines, as is an 8-speed automatic transmission. Multi-link suspension front and rear is also standard, though the 3.5T gets electronically-controlled suspension with Genesis’ Road Preview system. That uses a camera to spot potential potholes or other disturbances in the road ahead and pre-adjust the suspension stiffness to suit. It’s an available option on the 2.5T.
There’s no adjustable air suspension, though, to change the 8.1 inches of ground clearance (or, for that matter, drop the SUV to aid entry/exit). What you can add — though only on the GV80 3.5T — is an electronic limited-slip differential.
