The Genesis GV80 is a pretty cool SUV! It's got a sleek design, luxurious interior, and advanced tech features. Plus, it's known for its smooth ride and powerful engine options.
Love the styling, but... $14k more than a base X5 which is faster, much better fuel economy and can tow 1200 more lbs. I test drove last years X5, and loved it in base trim with just a couple of option packages. Genesis needs to do better on price.
@@naveenthemachine my dad’s X5 40i M Sport with every option is 88 grand, a fully loaded GV80 is 81 grand, the price difference isn’t much considering they’re both expensive
Has this brand really proven itself yet? The dealer network? Do we really know what reliability will look like beyond just a few years? Resale value? I get the appeal of this vehicle, but this thing costs only about $3,000 less than my nearly fully-loaded X5 40i. Styling is subjective, so let’s throw that out. Trying to understand, based on features, performance, and brand how an unproven vehicle and brand kills the X5.
Do you have the M sport package? I just built and priced both and the GV80 costs the exact same for a similarly spec’d X5. $82k. The X5 is better equipped though with dual massage seats and 4 zone climate control. Also quicker, tows more, and better MPG. X5 easily for the win…
Price on this Prestige trim is a bit silly. It costs the exact same as a similarly equipped X5 and unlike the X5 the front passenger seat doesnt offer massage, and there’s no 4 zone climate control… 0-60 and towing are also worse than the X5. Really needs to be a couple grand cheaper than a similarly spec’d X5 to sway buyers from a legacy brand like BMW. Great warranty though.
Let's face it if you loaded enough to consider genesis as your Bentley continental replacement, cost of service is non of your worries, car will be pickup by dealership from your driveway in front of your 100 bedroom mansion house and drop back after it's done in the meantime you must squeeze yourself in your RR spirit, or Bentley continental 😂 maybe Ferrari..
If you’re lucky enough to live by a standalone Genesis dealership, the service is supposed to be awesome. But I’d never buy a $80k Genesis and get it serviced at a Hyundai dealership. That would be miserable.
9:17 nature finds its way in the interior dept due to the color scheme of the GV80 Earth Brown and Smokey Green premium Nappa which is cool 10:01 Oooo that’s so nice the trim piece is made of basalt and recycled PET botes 10:25 newspaper Oooo Genesis is really using recycled products to make these trim pieces
This car is gorgeous but why do so many new cars have to have the exact same screen in it? It feels like such a copout to throw a long screen in just about everything. It was cool and unique when the Escalade got it but it's so played out already. I like the hump of a more traditional gauge cluster. My question is rhetorical I guess considering I know that it's for cost reasons and likely nothing else.
I have to ask if you thought about that before you wrote it. You have the reliability data on the GV80? You think reliability is the end all of a vehicle? You people that constantly rant about reliability with no facts just sound so stupid.

Lol, no it isn’t. They are basically identical, which is really sad considering the MDX Type S is supposed to be a “sport” SUV. Gets destroyed by a base BMW X5 too. The GV80 is far more luxurious than the MDX. MDX is a pointless vehicle with the competition trouncing it in all areas. Hell, BMW has outranked Acura in reliability for the better part of a decade now, so the old “buy Japanese for reliability” thing is no longer applicable to Acura products.
@@mattspeer01 You are WRONG...the Acura MDX is one of the fastest in its class. I have PROOF! MDX type S vs Dodge Durango Hemi ua-cam.com/video/QzlI5SQA1Kk/v-deo.html and MDX vs Genesis....ua-cam.com/video/y_b_O9aTQEQ/v-deo.html
I see you like to type and have not a clue what your talking about.....my dad use to say empty barrels makes the most noise... 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅@@mattspeer01
Yeah……..$81K is too much for this. Yes some of the fit and finish in the GV80 look great…….But the large horizontal screens are a gimmick that all the car manufacturers are glooming onto. A lot of people crush the Acura MDX Type S for not being sporty enough for the “Type S” designation but it is faster than the GV80 0-60 with a smaller engine due to the lighter weight and 10 speed transmission with quick shifts. The Type S also offers better handling with the SH-AWD and and air ride suspension all for $6-7K less than this GV80. Yes the Type S uses a lot of black plastic in the interior but then again so do the Germans like Audi and even Bentley and Ranger Rover use black plastic in models that are well into $100K price range or more. Overall I’ll give the GV80 the interior styling points but even with the black plastic the Type S has a nice looking cabin. I just don’t see the GV80 being worth $80K. Wouldn’t choose it over the Type S or BMW X5.
My dad asked me about the GV80 before getting his X5 and I told him it’s a good car but the X5 is better, the tech and performance of the X5 is hard to beat in the segment, additionally newer X5s with the B58 can be reliable for 80k-100k miles with proper care, I will admit the X5 gets pricy with options but the GV80 isn’t much better, for the MDX I prefer the regular one to the Type-S as my expectation from Acura is reliability and practicality not so much performance (plus a MDX Type-S won’t perform as good as a X5 even if the X5 is a base), the upgraded brakes, suspension, and exhaust on X5s with the M Sport and M Sport Pro packages also make the X5 almost as sporty as a base Porsche Cayenne for less money while having better tech/features, an X5 with every option is the segment leader imo but I understand that it doesn’t have as much space compared to certain competitors
@ The Type S was designed to offer a little of everything……..With perhaps not one particularly standout feature but the sum of all the parts creating a versatile vehicle. None of the vehicles including the X5 offer the sportiness and utility with the touch of luxury that the Type S offers. In fact the handling of the Type S is very close to the X5. I mean it’s not like Acura couldn’t build an SUV that competes directly with the X5M and other “performance” SUVs. The 2020 MDX with the sport hybrid AWD with the electric motors using the same technology as the NSX was a start. The Type S with electric motors and a twin turbo 3.5 V6 would likely surpass the X5M in terms of power and performance. But would not be a volume seller and likely cost close to or surpassing $90K. The prohibitive cost for Acura just isn’t there although to me with the void left by the discontinued NSX it would have been the perfect opportunity to make a “Super Type S”. I guess the ZDX was supposed to fit that bill but even with the 500 horsepower it generates it still isn’t a real performance SUV in the vein of the Germans.
@@DM-xt3rl the handling of the MDX Type-S might be close to a X5 without the M Sport Pkg but it’s still gonna be far from a X5 with the M Sport Pkg, the adaptive M suspension on M Sport X5s like ours is AMAZING, the upgraded M Sport brakes on our X5 are impressive too
There is no 🇩🇪 suv that comes close to the GV80 interior quality, features ,and value for money. No one gives you the warranty and free service for 100k km. Yes it's a pig on gas, but money wise, it will be 500$ more per year compared to X5. That's like 1 service for BMW.
Does the passenger get massage seat yet? Or are the Koreans still that out of touch?.. Why on earth would the driver seat only have massage? Ridiculous and a literal deal breaker. My wife and I don't even consider Genesis when car shopping for this sole reason.
It looks great but let face it non of Bentley, RR buyers will be interested in some brand without well established heritage so they only can drag customers which are to poor to buy BMW ,MB, and they try to play a ball in front of friends, girlfriends so they buy that not because its "cheap " brand which they can afford..
This looks a lot better than the new x5 inside and out

The car is okay, but the problem with Genesis always arises when it comes to maintenance service. It strictly strictly depends on the service area.

X5 also has hard seats. But you get great highway MPG and the unbeatable ZF 8 speed trans.
