The 2025 Genesis GV80 stands out with its eye-catching design and luxurious features, making it a top contender in the luxury SUV segment. This model, a former 10Best award winner, offers a compelling blend of sophistication and value, starting at a price point that undercuts many of its rivals from brands like Porsche and BMW.
Engine Options and Performance
The GV80 comes standard with a 300-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, available with two rows of seating. For those needing more power and space, the 375-hp twin-turbo V6 is the go-to option, offering three rows and seating for up to seven passengers. Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The GV80’s performance is impressive, with the V6 model capable of reaching 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds.
Luxurious Interior and Advanced Features
Inside, the 2025 GV80 is a sanctuary of luxury. Standard features include heated and cooled seats for both front and rear passengers, heated armrests, and a cabin that remains almost silent even at highway speeds. The 2025 update brings new enhancements, including a massive 27.0-inch touchscreen that combines the gauge cluster and infotainment display, offering a seamless user experience. The interior also introduces new color options: Earth Brown, Bordeaux Brown, and Glacier White.
What’s New for 2025?
For 2025, the Genesis GV80 receives a refreshed exterior with a redesigned grille and Micro Lens Array headlamps borrowed from the G90 sedan. New 20- and 22-inch wheel designs are also available, along with a new color option, Storr Green, offered in both glossy and matte finishes. Additionally, the lineup now includes a GV80 Coupe model, adding a sporty flair to the range.
