- 2021 Genesis GV80 3.5t Prestige AWD Review featuring a fully loaded GV80. The Genesis GV80 is the first SUV for the company, and a GV70 SUV will be following soon. This review will be an in-depth look at the GV80 Prestige. See my 2021 Genesis G80 Review: • WATCH THIS 2021 Genesi...
I had the 2021 Genesis GV80 for a week and I enjoyed the thought and detail the company poured into this vehicle. There is a lot of competition in the mid-size luxury SUV segment, but I like how Genesis tried to go all out and not cut corners, particularly in this 3.5t Prestige AWD trim.

Take it from me, I just bought one about a month ago and I am so impressed with this 3.5 engine I'm still learning about this vehicle, just so much technology, I love it!
Tiger Woods thumbs up this vehicle, approved
Facts!
Hands down the best suv in the class. Looks like a Bentley
It def gets people's attention for sure
GV80 can go for 65K for a 4 cylinder, so there is no value. I would rather get me a Lincoln Aviator, which is actually the true value king and competitor to the GV80 in the segment. Hell I'd even rather get the new MDX over the GV80 too since the Koreans is asking way too much and too confident. Aviator starts at 51K and GV80 48K, so on the first glance the GV80 is undercutting the Lincoln. However not only does the Aviator also has RWD, but comes standard with a base 3.0L Twin Turbo Ecoboost V6 with more horsepower and torque than either the 2.5 or the optional 3.5 of the GV80. Also in the GV80 you need to pay extra 11K on top of the 48K starting price to get the 3.5 (and still don't have as much power), so comparatively spec by spec, GV80 is more expensive. Of course the Black Label Aviator is most expensive than the GV80 but you get more ownership and membership features that you don't get in the GV80. Not to mention the Aviator is bigger vehicle and can tow and haul more as well. Hell even a front wheel drive QX60 mommy mobile can tow more than the GV80. Ecoboost is also proven to be reliable with the 3.5L reaching north of 300000 miles.
Did you just copy and paste your old post here 😅
@@miraphycs7377 you type all of that for nothing, still will pick the Genesis.
He just keeps copying and pasting that to everyone 😅
I went to the Genesis dealership in a fully loaded eClass to try it out and it was impressive and that was when they first started, this company is serious
For sure!
First started? Didn't this just launch?
@@Huskasin no
Then why does wiki say the GV80s production was launched in 2020 and only has a 2021 model year?
@@Huskasin Hes talking about Genesis in general....not this exact model. Thought that was pretty obvious from the wording.
“Here’s why. That’s why.” - Kevin, hitting the throttle while explaining why he wants the 3.5 liter. 😂 Epic.
lolol Its just sometimes actions speak louder than words
I find myself refreshing your UA-cam page very often in hopes of seeing you upload a new video. It seems to me that the quality of content in your videos and overall feel of each video improves significantly with each new upload. Thanks a lot for providing such great reviews and keeping it honest.
Truly humbled to hear that my friend thank you! I'm just glad you find value in what I do, take care!
You have a calm center, it's nice to be hearing your information while I work on the side. Thanks Kevin.
Thank you for the review as always. I've been watching your videos for a while and recently got a 21 camry xle after your review. This is a car I'd love to have in the future someday. Saw one recently on a road and it really stood out
Massive congrats on the new Camry XLE! Such a solid choice, very happy for you. Thanks again for supporting, and yes very impressed with what Genesis is doing
+1 .. The Bentley influence is subtle, not overbearing. . Genesis hit a Grand Slam with their upmarket SUV. . Cheers, Vail, Colorado
Yes you're absolutely right the Bentley touches are subtle. Thanks again for stopping by!
Thanks for your review of this awesome GV80!! Love it!
Appreciate you watching!
I was so pleasantly surprised and hype for this video I didn't think it would come so soon. But I'm glad you lked it as much as you did I'm really excited to see these on the road for the first time and for more ppl to give it the recognition it deserves. The editing and the music were great as well. I don't want to echo everything you said but I agreed with almost everything honestly and I'm glad you shared you criticisms of the GV80 as well. this car and Genesis themselves give BMW, Benz, Audi and even Lexus are large run for their money it'll be a breath of fresh air to see different cars for sure l, theres just too kuch to say about this but great video and amazing review 😀
Glad you enjoyed my friend and thanks again for stopping by!
Great review Kevin, one thing I noticed with this particular vehicle is that video and pictures just don't do it justice, I saw one fleetingly as I went through a set of traffic lights and man it's stunning and it has a presence and feel all of its own.
You're absolutely right my friend the videos will never grasp the swagger of this vehicle like you feel in person.
Awesome review dude. I'm feeling the classy intro too. You're producing on a television worthy quality level. I think it would be a nice touch to interject small 5 second or so clips in between segments where you show youself driving with just music. Long time no see. Been seeing so many of your reviews pop up where I'm like "I can't wait to get to that". And then get too busy. But I saw the thumbnail of that beautiful exterior of that truck and had to see your review of it. I'm super impressed by Genesis. I would buy that in a heartbeat (If I could lol).
Hey my friend I def remember your user name! Hope all has been well with you. Honored by your kind words and support! I def agree Genesis has gone next level with their products
Genesis is probably my favourite luxury brand, and objectively, they probably are the best in the segment. You get so much value and refinement it’s great.
Kevin, you’re taking you’re video and editing to the next level, and I really appreciate that! 👏
I agree my friend, you really get a lot with Genesis. And thanks so much! I really appreciate that
I am still leaning towards Lexus as my favorite luxury brand but Genesis is a close second for me. These vehicles look and feel like money.
True!
EXCELLENT REVIEW !! THX
Appreciate you watching!
It has such a Presents in person, I love Genesis, imo Hyundai-Genesis/Kia are the new automotive benchmark and they deserve it!!! Personally thinking about getting the '22 G70 or GV70.. Great Review!! 👏🏾👌🏾👏🏾✊🏾
I am def curious on trying their GV70 for sure!
Forget under $70, it’s certainly one of the Best interiors under $90k... From personal experience with $70k GX460(of course it kills the GX). QX80 $80k, Audi Q7, Navigator etc and all of these suvs have beautiful interiors and this interior beats all... you guys must see and feel it in person!
This and the Lincoln Navigator and the Escalade are nice...!
Like the intro going for a more posh look, I like it
I tried 😅 I still have much to learn
I bought mine this week and love it so far!
Awesome video man , I know that area well my buddy lives up in Apex ,NC it’s a really nice area , btw I test drove the new G 80 today , although it was only the 4 pot turbo , still impressive with lots of torque , super quiet with a nice solid ride , and thank the Gods it doesnt have those freaking run flats on like other manufacturers do , god I hate them , btw my friend put non run flats on is 18 LS and holy Jesus does car ride super quiet and smooth now . I’m going to change mine out too , I have a 21 LC500 and it is a little stiff at times with the Dunlop’s on them , great car though it exudes quality and this is my first Lexus , I’m highly impressed , keep up the great vids !!
That's awesome! Yea Apex is def a nice area for sure. Glad you got to try the new G80, def looks impressive for sure. I have heard good things about the four cylinder so I'm glad you could confirm. I agree run flats arent the best, congrats on owning the LC one of my most favorite cars I've driven for sure. Sad thing about the LC is, if you have 21" rims you really only have 3 tire choices approved by Lexus. I personally am going to keep using run flats on my LC because it would really suck If we got a flat tire since we don't have a spare. I really like the bridgestones I currently have, Michelins are pretty good and I may try that next. I heard Dunlops weren't the best. Thanks again for your support and for stopping by!
Great review. Good music choices.
Thanks!
Great review. I'm going to get one. Thanks
Massive Congrats!
Another excellent and helpful review. I hadn't considered the GV80 but it's on my list now. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for looking at this Genesis, have to agree with you on the interior it's incredibly classy. Hopefully we will get these in Australia. Love the bold look of this SUV on the outside design. Thanks Kevin
Yea my friend Interior was def something to behold for the price. I hope Genesis develops a stronger presence in Australia, but thanks again for always stopping by!
I seen the suv in traffic I was like WTF was that very impressed never would of thought it was a Hyundai💯💯
Lived in Korea for 7 years and Genesis is everywhere there, of course. Have always loved their look
Yea they do look phenomenal for sure
My lease is coming up on my Acura MDX. I like what Acura did with the new MDX design; but when I sat in the GV80 I was very impressed. BTW I’m picking up my GV80 3.5 Prestige next week.
Massive congrats!
Great video Kevin and you made some considerable efforts in making good editing. I like this car but I wish there was less bling with the metal being too shiny for my liking on the side doors and alloys. The grill is too big for me. Apart from all these, it is a car that is very attractive and tempting to buy other the well known manufacturers.
Thank you my friend, I def tried my best def have a long ways to go tho haha. Man I am a sucker for the bling lol but yea I can see people blacking that stuff out give it a more stealth appearance. But def a quality built vehicle for sure I do appreciate it. And thanks again for stopping by like always!
I'm getting the fully loaded, prestige 3.5. Matt green with green trim. All class. Cannot wait.
Genesis makes some good looking vehicles.
Yea the looks are very grand to say the least
So happy with our new GV80, we went all out and purchased the Prestige with ALL the bells and whistles and boy are we happy this is an awesome car and for the price point for the top of the line car is great. We are in total luxury when we drive it, the safety aspects of the car make it as safe as any Benz. We get many compliments from people and have even noticed people taking pictures of it as well.
Test drive one and you will see what a I mean. It’s fun to always be learning new things about what this can do…it’s really a smart car and I’m sure future models will only get better.
Congrats on the new purchase!
How did you manage to get one? I ordered a prestige 3.5T in January and now they are telling me delivery will be in October.
@@billstaehlin4546 Hi Bill,
We waited almost a year and the Wife is very happy she did and so am I, it’s a little crazy that Hyundai came out this beautiful car.
I've seen 2 GV80's in my city since they hit the US market...and both had the same license plate number....LoL.
Great review, can’t wait til you review the gv70. Can you review the Toyota Venza as well?
I think I can!
Nearly perfect! Would like to see the new G80 steering wheel on this line.
Very impressive suv. You kinda sold me on it.
Glad you enjoyed!
This was an excellent review! You’re right about BMW and Benz too. The GV80 blows them away with the interior and exterior design. I hope they get the suspension together soon cuz I want one lol 😂
Thanks for watching!
And last but not least really love those sun shades on the windows that can be used like using the windows to go up and down never saw that feature another swagged out feature would I love to have that on my LS430 bro lol 😎👍🏾👍🏾
Yea bro loved that feature for sure, usually you have to pull it up yourself but this is nice how it is electric, thanks again bro for watching and giving your thoughts
@@MeynMotorGroup 🤝👍🏾👍🏾
That's a very good video...
Thank you!
I'm gonna test drive the enthusiast trim this weekend.
RWD 4cy prestigious trim
Genesis' next leap should be a dedicated dealerships and not sharing spaces with Hyundai. The GV80 will definitely get people in showrooms since SUVs are the rage. I like this and hope they get a legit G70 Sport
Absolutely! Dedicated dealers will take the company to the next level for sure. Have you seen the Genesis Concept X EV? Looks epic
the center of the control ring that controls the infotainment screen is a writing pad. you can type the letters of a destination letter by letter into the GPS. and there is a parking feature where it does way more than go straight forward and backwards
Amazing SUV 👍 good job 👍
I agree! And thanks for watching
I have mine coming in July 7th ! Prestige Gold Coast Silver with Dune Interior :)
Bruh these already came out and I saw one yesterday
Awesome!
I just saw one the other day with the optional 22" rims and it was 76K. Is it the best interior for under 80K?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the acura 2022 mdx. It seems like a real winner.
I should be able to review that this summer!
hope they have that same energy with the coupe concept
I think they will, they are getting things right for the most part
Absolutely stunning looking car inside and out for 70k!
Agreed!
Yes I’m back!!!!! 31 min let’s go!!!
Haha thank you my friend sorry it is so long
Hi Kevin, between this (GV 80) and the RX 350, which do you think is more value for money?
Hmm I think the GV80 has a lot of features that today's buyers may want but with discounts the RX 350 is such a phenomenal machine and I kind of like driving the RX more. Interior is also pretty epic in the RX just lacks the sheer amount of features, swagger, and 0-60/specs in my opinion
Absolutely beautiful. This should whip some European car co ass
Interior def will, really blew me away
Seems like one of the best value luxury SUV’s to ever come out since the Lexus RX 350; albeit this is a step above the RX. Maybe a good option to step up, seeing as Lexus doesn’t have a top tier crossover yet.
Yea I def agree my friend, and I think even the 4 cylinder might not be a bad option as long as it is smooth so with potential discounts it could be a nice value
Currently right now = right now right now 😉
It's a great looking vehicle no doubt.
Agreed!
@@MeynMotorGroup
I'm not an SUV guy but if I did it, this would probably be the first.
What a dope car sadly genesis doesnt exist here so i will never put my eyes in one you can defenetly see the bentley influence. Cool to see an art deco interior instead of nightclub on the interior , its probably a bargain now and in 3-5 years will be even more,i loved it
Ah man that's crazy you don't get Genesis there. They've been going crazy in the states and even rolled out a near production ready Genesis coupe that is fully electric idk if you saw that
@@MeynMotorGroup I mean if its hard to beat the germans in the USA imagine in their hometown :D I imagine that concept is the Genesis X ,i didnt know about but now i know and already in love ,that booty looks like an aston wtf, im all about this underdogs that are commiting to their projects and releasing high quality stuff and i think Mazda is another good example of that
@@sergiopereira9546 Yea love the underdogs for sure
I’m not a one percenter but I’m picking one up. I had been planning to buy something like the Palisade or the Telluride, but this car offered so much and felt so great that it sold me one buying luxury. The only downside is I can’t even order until October and delivery won’t be until December at the esrliest.
Good job Genesis!
Agreed!
Wow bro it’s definitely swagged out with all the features lol especially moving it back or forth with the remote reminds me back in the day with toy remote controlled cars 😂 but seriously that alone is swagged out for me does it stop on it’s on though bro when it gets close to other cars while using that feature?
For sure bro! Remote control with real cars now that is baller. And yea I think it will stop on its own if it detects something but really easy just let go of the button and you good
@@MeynMotorGroup Cool thought so why would they not do that without that it could cause a accident without u even being behind the wheel 😂🤣👍🏾👍🏾
Will sell very well. Very impressive when looking to upgrade from a cheaper make/model. Don't believe it will draw much attention from the upper crust buyers though.
Agreed! Def a nice ride
I hate cross overs....I love this. This is what the bentayga should have been.
I know right, I don't like SUVs either but even I can't deny the quality and presence this thing has
I am getting LC 500 vibes from the interior quality. GV80 VS GV70?
Such a good looking car
Agreed!
How’s the road noise compared to your lc500? Tire noise?
LC def has more tire noise since it has run flat tires
@@MeynMotorGroup oh I see! Very interesting. The gv80 is like the LC of suvs haha!
What type of warranty do they offer ?
They offer the same 10 year Powertrain warranty and 3 year complimentary maintenance best in the game
I am hoping to see a full size 7 seater from genesis perhaps a gv90.
GV90 should def be coming and if it is anything like the G90, my gosh it will be an isolation chamber...this already is
@@MeynMotorGroup How about a hyundai Santa fe based gv60? It will sell much better with much.
@@wagrj5738 Actually the development of the GV60 is almost done, it will be based on the same eGMP platform as the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq5
This is a beautiful head turning car indeed, but how reliable is it?
I'm trying to convince my parents to look at this exact model... but they insist on getting the Expedition Platinum and why I don't know. Maybe if they considered the Navigator Reserve I'd be ok (because those are rarely seen) but everybody where I'm from drives an Expedition, Tahoe/Yukon or Armada/QX80. I think from a value and amenities perspective the Genesis has way more to offer and literally NO ONE in the general population has one yet haha 😂
Yea I would def convince them to get something else aside from the Expedition. If they really want a large 3 row like that the new Tahoe is far better
Thanks Kevin for sharing. . GV 80 aka the Woods savior.
Haha thank you for watching my friend
Hey dude. Have you ever recorded with your phone and uploaded it to YT? How do I go in my gallery on my phone and put separate videos into 1 continuous? Possible or not?
P.S. sick Gennie. Did you see the fucking Genesis X teaser concept or whatever they put on their Instagram? Insane! Looks like it'll be the next Genesis coupe, and an EV. Might not be an EV, but they didn't play any engine sound during any of the dramatic & cinematic drive by's/startup/etc
Yes you have to take the clips and put it into an editing software like imovie which is free for Apple Users. Oh snap you putting together your first youtube vid? I'm excited bro, also DM me on insta if you have more questions.
And yes saw the Genesis concept X it will be a full EV and it is epic!
@@MeynMotorGroup idk about yet but I just told a very funny short story and if I do make a YT channel it'd be something to compliment my streaming that I wanna start doing so that story could go up and add to I guess my personable side, like a Devon Gee "XTRAS"
That's awesome let me know when you finish it
You said you’re driving a “Gray“ vehicle, but that looks more like Saville silver (and not Himalayan gray). Is that right?
This color is known as Himalayan Gray yes
does the pedal adjust??
Is the exterior color Saville Silver?
Himalayan Gray!
I cant wait to buy one of these used ☺
Lease one now! No need to wait
@@MeynMotorGroup I can't afford this thing, tf? 😂
Nobody can that's why I always recommend to lease then throw it away after 2-3 years no headaches and you get a new car. Idk something to look into. Problem with waiting is people will say the same thing 3 years from now about the next new model
Smart, wait until you can afford it. Leasing will keep you poor forever. I bought Prestige model for cash. I can afford it, because i never financed or leased a vehicle. If I were younger, i would wait and buy a nice preowned model in a couple of years.
Always nice to have a few flexes in the comment section. I bought my local Applebee's I didn't pay cash, I put it on my Amex Platinum card for the points ya know?
I think it´s really good for the first SUV from Genesis but I miss a modern Engine with a 48 Volt Mild-Hybrid-System or a Powerfull Hybrid Engine with 350+ HP, maybe in a few years ? thanks Kevin.
Have you seen the new Genesis sports car concept? It's going to be a full EV
@@MeynMotorGroup yes looks good I like it, Hyundai, Kia and Genesis does a really good job with all the new modells and they are very fast and on the other Hand Japanese Brands are very slow.
@@alengreen589 I need the Tesla Plaid edition
@@MeynMotorGroup Oh sorry Kevin I mean to build new cars with modern tech. features and not the acceleration, sorry.
I see you left your Tiger Woods branded apparel at home.
Ok, so you don’t like the 3D gauge cluster but perhaps the rest of us do and you could turn it on for us to see? If you are a car reviewer then show us the features whether you like it or not.
You want to see a 3d gauge cluster through a 2D screen?
Wait several month when dealer bring it to me max equipment GV80. Hope that it will best German unreliable X7 or Q7
They will def do that you never have to go to a dealer
@@MeynMotorGroup in Russia we have 3.0d with 580Nm 4years waranty with unlimited mileage.. hope it will be good
Oh interesting, I would def be interested in trying that
How’s their reliability ? If im buying luxury I want it to last atleast 10 years.
Good
Wow thank you so much my friend for the support!
Idc what nobody says genesis is by far the best luxury brand for the money
I can't wait to try the G80
Watching now bro but just came to mind Genesis seems to be a better version of Acura lol
Haha Acura been on fire tho bro, I'm curious to check out that new MDX
@@MeynMotorGroup Please get one so I can see lol 👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Valet parking at olive garden lol
Lol 😆 glad you enjoyed that my friend
If you own this you should be eating lunch in Paris not olive garden
What company is the genesis?
I own a Prestige. Those 22” wheels look fantastic but you feel every single bump on the highway. These reviewers all go for a 1 hour ride and spout praise.... drive it for months and give a decent review.
Yup they look phenomenal but is firm. 20s would be my choice but yea wish reviewers took a more pragmatic real world approach to these car reviews
Waiting for a gv90, I want them big escalade vibes
That would be a plush ride
How reliable this SUV is?
I’d still choose Lexus and Mercedes over any other car maker bro yeah I’m a badge snob when it comes to both my favorite car brands lol
Ain't nothin wrong with that bro
@@MeynMotorGroup 🤝
🤤 The SUV is sooo f%^&$%# gorgeous!!😍
It is a pretty vehicle
What song?!

Hey bro would love to hear from you on where this falls in the swag meter!
@@MeynMotorGroup Got u bro soon after I watch will definitely let u know this not my cup of tea though 😂🤣 mad at myself for being a badge snob lol but I'll do my best to shake it off at least for this video to leave u a comment on the swag meter lol 🤝👍🏾👍🏾
Haha no worries bro, you know I love hearing what you have to say no matter what
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanx bro 🤝😎👍🏾👍🏾
@@MeynMotorGroup I get off work early today so I'll definitely watch it when I get home and definitely comment on this one 👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
GV80 in its lightest form it weighs 4814 pounds. It is very heavy and that is with the base engine, it be even heavier with the 6. GV80 can go for 65K for a 4 cylinder, so how is that a value? I would rather get me a Lincoln Aviator, which is actually the true value king and competitor to the GV80 in the segment. Hell I'd even rather get the new MDX over the GV80 too since the Koreans is asking way too much and too confident. Aviator starts at 51K and GV80 48K, so on the first glance the GV80 is undercutting the Lincoln. However not only does the Aviator also has RWD, but comes standard with a base 3.0L Twin Turbo Ecoboost V6 with more horsepower and torque than either the 2.5 or the optional 3.5 of the GV80.

Of course the Black Label Aviator is most expensive than the GV80 but you get more ownership and membership features that you don't get in the GV80. Not to mention the Aviator is bigger vehicle and can tow and haul more as well. Hell even a front wheel drive QX60 mommy mobile can tow more than the GV80. Ecoboost is also proven to be reliable with the 3.5L reaching north of 300000 miles.
Did you buy the Aviator?
Great Video. The GV80 looks great from the inside and out. Well built vechicle for sure.
I'd still take the Lexus RX 👌
Try and test drive one my friend!
Gv80 is waaaaay better than rx
I think all SUVs have their strength and weaknesses but GV80 is a well crafted package
No bs gv80 is really a great vehicle. But drive the new x5 with m sport or Range Rover sport. I know there both more expensive but it drives and feels way better then the Genesis.
Yes you're right about that those vehicles do have a higher level of quality to their drive compared to this. I do still think the interior in the GV80 is stunning especially for the price as well as extensive list of features
Really sad to realize, tesla and genesis came out at around same time, both targeting premium market, while genesis came from a established brand, the other one came out of nowhere, however, tesla is 10 times more successful than genesis, evident from the number of sales, not to mention the disgusting fit and finish of some tesla models
Right but Tesla is a completely different company producing only EVs and are still the only decent EV we can buy since they have the infrastructure down so makes sense Tesla is successful
gV80 > MDX
I def want to try the new MDX!
Question...????why don’t you have more subscribers?
Haha 😄 I appreciate that, idk I almost never ask in my videos for subscribers, I always forget.
One stone WAS left unturned, only one.
They mistakenly mounted rear wiper arm low on rear glass. They should've placed it up under rear wing, concealed & moved hatch release someplace else!
you did not LIE ABOUT ATTENTION! IT WAS DOWN RIGHT SCARY, POLICE STOPPED TRAFFIC TO TALK AND COMMEND ME ON THE CAR,
It is crazy for sure 😆 congrats on owning a GV80
Now they have an electrical vehicle
