  • For 2025 Genesis has updated their popular GV80 SUV with more tech, more features, and some unique interior trim options. The bulk of the GV80 is the same, and that's just fine by me. Next week I'll be able to talk about how it drives, but until then... Let's take a walk around the SUV that I think is better than a Lexus RX...

    They’ve made enough upgrades for it to stay relevant, but keeping what made the gv80 such a great buy and product. These upgrades have only made it better. Looking forward to the coupe.

    Absolutely gorgeous inside and out. These have such a great presence on the road. Wish they offered a higher powered V8 on this for a top trim to compete with the Germans. I will say I’m less of a fan with what Genesis has slowly been doing with decontenting the lower trims while slowly raising prices. Overall I am still very impressed with Genesis products

    "Better than Lexus" umm subjective and questionable but if genesis was only WIDELY more available...finding a Genesis DEALER is like finding a working ice cream machine at Mcdonalds.... gonna be hard to get.... Sure it's nice initially but let's see how the Genesis holds up after the standard 3 year lease period... The GV80 coupe is where it's at but honestly Genesis needs to STEP up their NETWORK for Service etc, I see more TESLA service centers and dealers than I have seen with Genesis...

Not sure a brand that is so new to the market and not yet truly established on so many levels could afford to have 120k models sitting on Hyundai Dealership lots getting serviced by Hyundai Technicians. But I'm sure it would be beautiful! Genesis is knocking it out of the park with their styling.

    Biggest miss on the GV80 is the lack of touch lock/unlock on the back door handles. It is also annoying that we don't get the more powerful engine on the non-coupe. It is a nice vehicle, but they are not really any cheaper than an X5, so hard to justify choosing it.
