Genesis GV80 2024
Despite offering some compelling products, Genesis has failed to make much headway in the Canadian market.
Constructed on a rear-wheel drive biased platform shared with the G80, the GV80 can be powered by either a 2.5L turbo four or a 3.5L-V6 turbo. Driven briefly, the V6 in the GV80 delivered vivid acceleration in near silence unless pushed hard, when it emits a compelling, cultured wail. The automatic transmission just gets the job done without calling attention to itself. Both the V6 and 2L engines require premium fuel. Steering is nicely weighted and precise and inspires confidence. Handling is steady, even though drivers can sense they are driving a very big and heavy vehicle. The ride is generally good but can allow more than typical vertical movement on rough roads.
Elegant exterior styling that elicits favourable comment of how much the GV80 could be a Bentley. The cabin of the GV80 is sumptuous, especially on premium versions with butter-soft leather, matte-finished wood and tasteful alloy accents. The cabin in roomy and seats are large and comfortable. Most variants are two-row but the top V6 model offers a third-row seat option.
Like Tesla, Genesis vehicles are sold on a fixed-price basis including delivery. The base 2.5T Advanced trim, with a dual-panel sunroof, heated front and rear seats, L.E.D. headlights and leather seating, is nicely equipped. Opting for the V6 on the Advanced trim will set you back $7000, but includes around $2000 worth of additional equipment. Migrating up to the the 3.5T Prestige adds Nappa process leather, a Lexicon-branded audio system, soft-close doors, a microfibre headliner, a 16-way driver’s seat, power reclining second-row seats and self-parking, but looks expensive. The Prestige 3.5-V6 offers a third row seat for $2000. The “Coupe” has been unveiled but sales will not start until the second half of the year.
Unproven engine durability points to leasing as a good option for obtaining a GV80.
