      As a Korean, I just wish the Hyundai/Genesis group had the technology of Toyota/Honda, etc and was able to incorporate their system into the existing vehicles. I know that through electrification (HEV, PHEV and EV lineups), the cars have definitely become far more reliable than they used to be, but there's still room to grow.

    I can't believe Genesis is getting rid of the classic layout of the infotainment and the gauge cluster for the tacked on full flat panel screen seen on almost every other brand for the 2025 GV80. I'm sure they could've found a way to house the gauge cluster while still offering the screen. And I think the GV70 is also going the same route, sadly.

    Sooo many people making comments when they cant afford them, have never looked at one, never sat in one, or never driven one... I have a RX500h, I love it.. I looked at a GV80, very nice.. but felt bigger, heavier, and too floaty on the road. I like the RX for its size (not too big but big enough) and im 6'5" tall.. 240 lbs. I liked the GV, but the RX was just better for me around town etc.. I dont like all the safety beeps etc, but you can turn a lot of the beeps off... Everything is easy to use. I have gotten used to the steering wheel buttons and functions etc.. It is a luxury ride, F sport - fyi thats a joke there is nothing sport about it.. Interior has lots of soft touch, and is more luxurious in real life than any video shows.. the mark levinson sound will blow your ear drums, its too bright, I had to turn treble and mids to zero, with bass at 6, its more than you need........ Engine is very smooth for a 4 cyl and thats one thing I was worried about, but after a 30 minute cruise around the city I knew they refined it and isolated it nicely, ride is very good, it handles well - not sporty, just about right.... The GV80 has a softer ride, bit too soft for me - you found the lexus softer... maybe it was the floaty suspension that threw me off on the GV...500h is quite quick - I never drove the 350 etc or lower models as I wanted some power, 250 hp doesnt cut it for me.... 366 is much better.. Im happy with my purchase.

      Definitely tire and wheels there, but you'll notice other people who test drove them found the GV80 much softer. When I test drove a fully loaded one, I found it nice and soft, but not as soft as a G90. It's not rough by any means, it's what you'd expect out of a luxury car.

      @@twfinc6855 Almost all popular Lexus are rebadged Toyotas with luxury finishes and better NVH, but the underlying chassis and drivetrain are essentially the same. This is no industry secret. I’ve owned a 2020 Lexus ES350 F Sport. Despite its fancy name, sporty pretense, and high price, it’s nothing but a FWD Camry with better interior and unnecessary harsh ride over uneven roads. It was sluggish, underpowered, and handled like a boat just like a Camry. It was totaled by another driver, and I was relieved my insurance covered the loss. And I was glad I was rid of it. But it was a good lesson that taught me not to buy a rebadged Toyotas. The fact that you feel insulted pretty sums up your gullibility and ignorance of how Lexus/Toyota operates.

Essentially you buy reliability and functionality definitely RX is no street racer, does everything well flies under the radar and when you want to sell it, great resale value. I have to assume dealer network is better than Genesis.
    Genesis GV80/ big car, big presence, for a name plate that has only been around 4 years, sure you ae buying a car that has a unique exterior design. seems well appointed to exude luxury, interior spaciousness and most important keeping the 6cyl engine option available for customers.
    I am not sure if the GV80 has reliability, questionable dealer network or great resale value.
    I currently own a 2011 MDX with 6cyl 300HP, SH-AWD and seating for 7. My MDX was a unique contender with the ugly beak, as everyone called it. But honestly, at the time the MDX while it was the ugly duck, it deliver performance even when fuel efficiency was not there.

Bringing your so-called luxury car to a Hyundai dealership for maintenance is in no way, shape, or form considered luxury. The genesis has an old throw-back Buick vide, which is attractive but will age faster. And is it me, or does the back seats in the GV look like a coffin??
    The Lexus has a much lighter, current, and sporty demeaner that will appeal to more younger buyers. Throw in cred and possibly better reliability, and that's a winning combination for future retail value when you go to sell it.

    I believe that gv80 has brought about advancements in materials engineering and design engineering. Genesis' expensive aluminum arms and suspension, which have excellent vibration control and absorption capabilities comparable to those of Mercedes-Benz and BMW, are also made of aluminum. It looks like no expense was spared in the use of materials. The BMW design engineering data and philosophy of Biermann, a former BMW chief engineer who oversaw the m project, were reflected, and most of the design took some of the driving and riding comfort advantages of the Mercedes-Benz BMW. At the same time, it feels like it has a bit of a Land Rover feel somewhere between a German car and a British car. When I actually drove it, it felt like a good combination of the sensibilities of German cars, Japanese cars, British cars, and American cars. To put it negatively, it was disappointing that Hyundai Motor Company did not have an extreme identity. Personally, I wish they would no longer use shift dials and ugly handle designs.

    Just FYI due to numerous misinformation. This car was called the Hyundai Genesis when it was first introduced. It is a Hyundai vehicle which is serviced by Hyundai workers in Hyundai dealerships. That in itself may not matter to some but no true luxury car buyer wants to hang inside a low budget dealership with their expensive vehicle...unless you want to show off to other Hyundai folks...they seem to be the only ones impressed.
    Luxury is proof of time, longevity, quality and reliability. The RX has been at the top of its game for over 20 years and still manages to remain there. That's quite a feat for any car company especially in today's competitive market, and why all these imitations have now popped up. Maybe in 10-15 more years the Hyundai genesis might have proven its right to be taken seriously by real luxury car buyers instead of side-bench fans who have never even sat in one and will never own one.
