2023 Genesis GV80

History/Overview

Introduced in 2021, the Genesis GV80 was the brand’s first-ever SUV model, and one of the first vehicles to wear the company’s distinctive new styling language. You can get this mid-size model with seating for five or seven.

What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year

Last year’s entry-level Select trim is gone, making Advanced the base model for 2023.

Available Trims

Genesis offers the GV80 in Advanced and Prestige trim levels. Advanced starts with a 2.5L turbo four-cylinder engine, an eight-speed transmission, and AWD. All other trims get a 3.5L turbo V6.

Standard Features

2.5T Advanced trim comes with 20-inch wheels, LED headlights/taillights, rain-sensing wipers, heated steering wheel with electric adjustments, part-digital gauges, three-zone A/C, and a head-up display.

Standard safety kit includes forward collision mitigation, rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot collision avoidance, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and surround view/blind spot cameras.

3.5T Advanced gets 22-inch wheels and electronically controlled suspension, but loses the 2.5T model’s surround view and blind spot camera systems.
