The 2024 Genesis GV80 delivers classic luxury and modern technology in an appealing midsize SUV.

Genesis introduced the GV80 in 2021, and the crossover SUV is getting a minor refresh in 2025. Still, the 2024 GV80 remains a good choice unless you want to wait for the fancier styling, more high-tech interior, or new supercharged GV80 Coupe coming next year. Otherwise, today’s GV80 is pretty much the same as tomorrow’s GV80, and in some respects, it is the more elegant and traditional choice.

Verdict: Based on our evaluation of the 2024 Genesis GV80, seat comfort is not what it should be. Also, to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you need a USB cable. This Genesis is thirsty, too. But otherwise, we have few complaints about this stylish, safe, and mostly rewarding midsize luxury SUV.

9/10

Shop for a 2024 GV80, and you’ll choose between the 2.5T (turbocharged four-cylinder) and 3.5T (twin-turbocharged V6) models. Both engines are offered in Canada with the Advanced trim while the Prestige trim is exclusive to the V6. Prices range from $$76,000 to $92,500. In Canada, Genesis pricing is all-inclusive, no-haggle, and also includes five years of scheduled maintenance, at-home concierge service, and more. Our GV80 3.5T test vehicle arrived in the top-shelf U.S. trim, Prestige Signature, which is not available in Canada. Some details as shown are therefore not available for the Canadian market.

With the Prestige trim, six exterior colours are available, paired with a variety of stylish 22-inch wheel designs. Interior details include diamond-stitched Nappa premium leather, a suede headliner, and metallic-finish accents that ooze luxury. In addition, ambient lighting, a 3D digital instrument cluster, and a wide touchscreen display for the infotainment system underscore the GV80’s flagship Genesis SUV status.

Overall, there is no mistaking a GV80 for anything but a luxury vehicle. But we don’t think the Americans are getting anything exceptional with the Prestige Signature trim and recommend our neighbours opt for the regular Prestige trim, which may partly explain why the former is missing from our market.

My biggest regret is that I cant drive it more frequently. Its really fun to drive. Extremely comfortable and surprisingly quiet. If theres a negative (I struggle to call this a negative), there are almost too many options. It takes a while to figure out the functions and got to use them. Had we had the time to allow the dealer to provide proper knowledge transfer, I suspect the learning curve would have been shorter. I wish I hadnt been such a snob, thinking Genesis was somehow a lesser brand. Nothing could be further from the truth. This car is luxury through and through. If I have to buy another car again, my first question will be, why shouldnt it be a Genesis? Nov 04, 2023
