What The Genesis GV80 Got Right:

For a first-time attempt at making a luxury SUV vehicle with all the safety and technology a buyer could want, Genesis rocked the SUV world with their release of the GV80. This rear-wheel drive mid-size SUV was inspired by Genesis' sedan styling and takes a sleek, attention-grabbing form factor to a whole new level for SUV's in Oklahoma City. With plenty of safety features to keep you safe, luxury additions to keep you comfortable, and technology improvements to make your experience even better, the Genesis GV80 is guaranteed to offer a superb experience for those who are in the $50,000 or less SUV price market.

Exterior & Interior Styling That Makes You Blush

There is not a doubt in the world the GV80 was designed by those who value detail to the very last spec. Similar to many other luxury brands lately, Genesis decided to go with all mechanical knobs (instead of touch sensitive) with gold trim finishing that truly makes this model feel superior to any other luxury SUV we have ever reviewed. A 14.5 inch infotainment screen pops right out of the center console, providing access to all of the vehicle's media and temperature controls; not to mention it can be reconfigured to be voice activated and display helpful live vehicle metrics on a 3D display. 

Design That Commands Attention

The GV80 doesn't look like any other of the competition on the road. And that's a good thing. It begs for attention with its slender quad headlights and huge trapezoidal grill on the front mixed in with curved edges that span across the entire vehicle. Genesis has released statements noting these "G-Matrix" patterns were heavily inspired by an "illuminated diamonds'' design and offer a low-profile, wide-dominant stance for those who need a luxury SUV that can also handle the outdoor roads. So watch out Oklahoma, luxury SUVs are coming to the hills!

Brings The Future of Safety To Your Vehicle

The word "safety overkill" was never a thing when it came to the safety of the Genesis GV80. And they proved that by implementing an enormous suite of safety features that make this model a game changer. For example blindspot collision avoidance assistance is a new implementation that senses when the driver leaves a lane and avoids possible collisions by warning the driver and applying "small corrective measures" to keep the vehicle in lane. 

Front and rear collision assistance is also available, detecting slowing or stopped vehicles in front of you, including pedestrians, and applies the correct amount of brakes to stop safely. Oh, and for those who suck at parallel parking, don't worry, automatic remote parking assistance can be integrated into the GV80 as well to make sure that getting in and out of those tight spaces is never an issue.

IIHS Top Safety Pick

All of these safety features implemented don't come unnoticed by the SUV industry either! The IIHS has rated the Genesis GV80 as its 2021 top safety pick of the year due to its large selection of driving assistance and accident prevention features built-in. Did we mention that it almost got a perfect score? According to IIHS, the GV80 excels in crash avoidance and accident passenger safety, two very important figures for those who wish to be using this off-road. 

Luxury That Goes Above-And-Beyond

With the mixture of the high-quality leather and fabric interior, mechanical knobs, beautiful interior finishes, and sleek diamond-inspired exterior, it would just be wrong to say we didn't love the Genesis GV80. Additional services are also offered by Genesis like their 3 years of complimentary "Connected Services" which offers a suite of safety, guidance and remote features like the enhanced roadside assistance, voice-powered destination search and remote start with climate control. There's even road-noise cancellation for those long road trips across the country!

Technologically Elegant

Ever get tired of parking? What about highway merging or making sure you don't get distracted and crash into the person in front of you? Genesis took common everyday problems seriously with this year's release and implemented a ton of features that make the world of a difference when needing to keep a family or yourself safe. Like remote smart parking which will remotely parallel park your car in tight spots that are just too mentally draining for you at the moment. Others like the Highway Driving Assistant II help maintain a set speed and healthy distance between you and cars ahead, helping you stay in your lane and assists in making lane changes when requested. It gets better, ventilated and heated seats are available in the front and rear rows so passengers can get in the luxury as well now, something you don't see very often in SUVs.
