Great job as always. I have a suggestion. With all of the different type of cars and trucks you review.. I think you should mention the type of fuel each car uses. That helps tremendously in people's decisions on any vehicle.
@@NileshR12 Agreed! I’m very impressed by the QX60. More so on the inside than the outside, but very good nevertheless. GLE and X5 are nice, but when it comes to cost of ownership especially 5 years from now when the warranty has expired, I’d rather have the Lincoln, Genesis or Acura.
Is that from experience? Because the 2022 made the Top 10 SUVs to AVOID, due to mechanical failures and extended shop time due to parts scarcity - according to verified owners' reports.
@@jollyrodgers7272 Is from experience, you are just hating on the brand you can't afford, you can keep the shi% box you ride around in. I own a Genesis G90 5.0 Htrac Ultimate and a GV80. The reliability is a 10 and Safety, this same SUV saved Tiger Woods life.
Now THIS is the new 2023 Lexus RX. The real 2023 RX just got destroyed by the gv80 and we haven’t even seen the RX yet. Man genesis is just that good with their clever FBI and CIA tactics
Car may be great, but many dealers are charging $5k above MSRP. I tried to buy one, but wasn’t willing to pay above sticker. Bought a Mercedes GLE at sticker instead.
After 16 minutes watching your video . I got to say You miss an opportunity to push your channel . You probably the first one review a 2023 GV 80 on UA-cam. It look like you didn't do your homework well GV80 is going to 3th Year production all the stuff that you mention it's been reviewed by all the big Channels on UA-cam 2 years ago . To make the video more interesting you should compare the 2022 to the 2023 model. The biggest change on a 2023 model is the rotary knob to control the infotainment system . 2nd is the back seat center cupholder If I'm right , it's different and I think a lot of people want to know that the car have USB type-c and is the Android auto and apple carplay is wireless . Thanks for your review keep up the good work.
In all fairness to the reviewer, Hyundal/Kia/Genesis constantly have situations where they send cars to dealerships before there has been any press releases or media information and they have done this for years. (this happened with the K5 and the Rio) There is no mention of the 2023 model year GV80 changes anywhere on the internet because Genesis hasn't announced them so the best this guy can do is try to visually cross reference with a 2022 or a 2021 MY version. I honestly didn't even notice the infotainment controller until I saw it twice which is a welcome improvement. And you are right that the rear cupholders are totally redesigned and as a result they added that storage compartment which was not there previously. I am almost positive there are no USB-C's because if they did add them it would be in the front to the left of the wireless charge pad which they clearly did not. Hats off to Genesis for still trying to improve their vehicles prior to a big refresh which is probably coming for the GV80 soon.
I wished they would add Refrigerated Console, even older Range rovers, BMW's have them as option, i have it on my 2013 range rover, and not the blowing AC in console found in some Japanese cars but a legit refrigerator
Ben, I love your vehicle reports. I currently have a 2017 Cadillac XTS premium which is your all wheel drive sedan. I'm considering a 2023 Genesis g80 or GV 80 and I have a question that I think you can help me with. Before I head to a dealer.

I ordered my GV80 at the beginning of February 2022. I should receive my 2023 2 row GV80 3.5 Prestige shortly. On the other hand, if I don't receive it in time, the dealer has reserved the 2022 GV80 3.5 Prestige 3 rows demo for me. Do you advise me to take the 2022 3 row or the 2023 2 row has noticeable improvements? There does not seem to be much change between the 2022 and 2023 except a price increase.
How would you get the right price when you pre order that most of sellers have to deal with dealers? Did you pay listing price? Is this new process these days?
Sad my 2021 $77,000 super duty has the interior of a 10 yr old vehicle. Even the new Ford interiors throughout all of their vehicle line up doesn't compare to the interiors of foreign made vehicles.
Hey Ben Hardy, my son loves your video and he told me he check all of your videos six years he started at 7 and he is 13 now. He thinks your video is good. But don't say stupid or crazy
I don’t see where the options on this car can only be had for over $100K. All of this can be had for under $100K. We’re still talking about a car without wireless CarPlay, real massage seats and air suspension. The interior is excellent, but it’s still a lot it should have at almost $80K.
It actually has the first two things you mentioned. The massage doesn't vibrate, but it does massage your back and butt/legs, and it has multiple modes...I guess you could argue it's not the type of massage you prefer? No air suspension, sure, but it rides really soft in most modes so it's really not needed. What I will say it lacks compared to ultra luxury SUVs are a few silly things like the front right passenger seat doesn't have memory, and since it's either a 2 or 3 row SUV, there is no option for G90 level seats in the back. Do many cars or SUVs have those? No. Are many that do under 100k? No. It's just something that would be nice to have, but honestly the materials from the top of the dash and door to the bottom are higher quality than most cars at any price point. The design inside and out is also on point, to the level that people compare it to a Bentley. No one mistakes a GV80 for a cheap car, even after driving it, so I think they've succeeded in terms of interior design, materials, NVR, exterior design and driving dynamics while still costing less that its competitors. To have anything noticeably nicer inside or out, you're basically looking to spend about double so despite being expensive also, this one's still a pretty good deal.
@@iSOBigD it DOES NOT have wireless CarPlay or wireless android auto. This car has the worst massage of any car. It says it has 3 modes. Mode one is back, mode 2 is bottom and mode 3 is back and bottom but it’s all the same massage “mode”. Tbh r Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford Explorer have better massage seats. You can’t even get full digital gauge cluster unless it’s the prestige model. We’re raising things the Elantra and Sonata gives you at a cheap price. The car lacks smart key access for the rear two doors. Not other luxury car does that. There are several other things. It looks more expensive than it is and that’s where it stops.
What is the logic of this or the fact that there is no iron mine in the engine part of the vehicle complete ordinary plastic will not give up livelihoods rotten sick problematic and overly expensive cars will not produce and sell countries to stop this ridiculous situation He should use his authority to say pity the toy car.
Infotainment controller is now the same as the GV70 and the rear armrest is totally redesigned so that the cupholders don't pop out and they use the space they gained to add a storage compartment. Otherwise I haven't noticed anything else.
There's also a new oil life sensor and the SOS button is now red. Canadian models also get power 2nd row seats. My 2023 Prestige should be arriving next month. Can't wait.
Bought the GV80 Prestige the first year it came out, loved it. It got killed by a drunk driver. My wife and I were ok, all the safety gear went off. I now am in the process of buying another one. Thank god for new car insurance. Big thumbs up, am buying again.
Glad you and the wife were OK
God Bless, praise Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!
So I guess God plays favorites and let all those other thousands of motorists die. Sad.

I love the steering wheel. So much room to rest my hand palm-down at the 6 o’clock position.
it's amazing, the only thing i don't like is it's Steering wheel design.. weird design..
I'm planning to buy GV80.. loved it already..
Oh believe me, it is the best steering wheel when you drive long distance, very comfortable.
@@mykytafabryka4661 I see, but like the design is weird.. wish they can change it..
I don't like the design either. Something out of the 60's.

Glad to see they updated the info control knob the same as in GV70
Genesis needs to bring wireless apple CarPlay as standard. As a luxury brand no need for wire apple CarPlay.
Ben, great review. You seem to have adapted your style and are speaking at a more relaxed pace and easy to understand. Keep up the good work.
This is my dream SUV! Awesome job Ben.
My favorite the GV 80' and the G90!
Many Thanks for this video!

Gotta say the GV80, Aviator and MDX are my favs in this class. Honorable mention goes to the Land Rover Discovery.

Is there any downgrade towards other systems due to chip shortages? I’m afraid if it gets a F-150 treatment.
Well dam you really brought bazuka to a pillow fight.
Kenny Leong, put your UA-cam channel name in this thread so we can admire your work. I’ll subscribe. 👍
Honestly the steering wheel could of been better it reminds me of a mini van
Gorgeous car, buuuut if they just moved the info-tainment screen forward just a bit more, and have the add wireless android/apple car play as of yet?
they come with spare tire if yes ware located?
I got my GV80 on Saturday. Just realized that the gas cap door has no lock on it. Now someone can pour sugar down to gas tank and ruin my engine.
The door locks when the car is locked. Try it.
If its like my car it only opens within proximity to the key fob
It’s locked when you car is locked, you have an incredible car and you didn’t do your due diligence…
Are you serious? 🤣
Just watched your video and going thru with lindin...dropped your name. Thanks for the help
Awesome Man
I am getting one today!
What about unlocking an opening the fuel door
I can’t get around that steering wheel. Looks like a diaper a baby has been blowing up all day.
Can you unlock rear doors with key in your pocket?
3:23 I missed the reason for the floor mat color.
Is there LED lighting in the GV80 like in the GV70?
Does the 2023 have wireless CarPlay ?
It doesn’t

ya definitely palisade is a bigger car with a better/fully useful third row.
The build quality on this makes the palisade look like a base model Toyota Corolla 🤣
The chrome on the bottom is a little to much.
Deciding between the GV70, GV80, and the GLC300
Only thing this misses is self driving
They beat the Mercedes otherwise
it probs has the higher reliability cuz it doesnt have that feature tbh
The dash looks similar to Mazda but Mazda done it better! If you want luxury but not this price, Mazda is out here just too underrated!
Looked at both. Not even close. Mazda interior material is inferior.
There's absolutely no comparison. Genesis interiors are on par with if not better than most German brands.
