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. From there, you’ll pick Standard, Advanced, Prestige, or Prestige Signature trim levels. Prices range from $57,700 to $81,750, plus a $1,350 destination charge.

Our GV80 3.5T test vehicle arrived in the top-shelf Prestige Signature trim with an optional Matterhorn White Matte paint job. That upgrade brought the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) to $84,600, including destination.

Prestige Signature models come in Vik Black, Matterhorn White Matte, or exclusive Mauna Red exterior colors, paired with dark chrome trim and a stylish 22-inch wheel design rendered nearly invisible by the black paint covering them. While we recognize the appeal of the Prestige Signature version, we don’t find it more attractive than a Prestige model. Wheel design is critical to the overall appearance of any vehicle, but if you can’t see the details, they might as well be absent.

Unlike our test vehicle’s relatively plain exterior, its Ultramarine Blue over Dune interior was downright decadent. Diamond-stitched Nappa premium leather, an artificial leather dashboard wrap, matte-finish wood trim, a suede headliner, and metallic-finish accents oozed 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 Prestige Signature for anything but a luxury vehicle, but we’d skip the Signature part and just stick with the regular Prestige trim.

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
