Having experienced the 2022 model, it’s intriguing to delve into the subtle yet impactful updates that grace the 2024 iteration.

Genesis offers a variety of trims based on powertrain choices, ranging from the 2.5T to the 3.5T. Our focus is on the top-tier 3.5T Prestige Signature, an all-new trim for 2024. The commitment to all-wheel drive across the lineup ensures stability and control in diverse driving conditions.

Dressed in the captivating Matterhorn White Matte, the GV80 boasts distinctive features like 2-line LED headlamps and the G-Matrix Crest Grille. The power folding eco outside mirrors and 22-inch alloy wheels with a dark finish enhance both aesthetics and functionality. With dimensions like a 116.3-inch wheelbase and a ground clearance of 8.1 inches, the GV80 exudes a commanding presence.

The practicality of the GV80 is accentuated by a power hands-free smart liftgate with auto-open functionality, providing easy access to the 34.9 cubic feet of cargo volume.

Under the hood, the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 delivers an impressive 375 horsepower and 391 lb.ft. of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission. Capable of towing up to 6,000 lbs, the GV80 seamlessly blends power and performance.

Stepping inside reveals a luxurious Ultramarine Blue/Dune interior with Olive Ash accents. While accommodating 5 to 7 passengers in most trims, our Prestige Signature variant opts for a more intimate 4-seater configuration. Nappa leather seating, suede headliner, and matte finish wood trim contribute to an opulent atmosphere. The power-adjustable, massaging, heated, and ventilated seats ensure a sublime driving experience.

The technological prowess of the GV80 shines with a 14.5-inch navigation system featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, complemented by a Lexicon Premium audio system. Convenience is elevated with features like wireless phone charging, USB Type-A chargers, a 12.3-inch 3D digital instrument cluster, and a heads-up display.

Efficiency meets performance with an EPA-rated fuel economy of 18 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined. The electronically controlled suspension and various drive modes cater to diverse driving preferences. Safety is paramount, with a comprehensive suite of features including forward collision avoidance, lane-keeping assist, lane-following assist, driver attention warning, and more.

Genesis provides a spectrum of options, with the base 2.5T starting at $57,700, the 3.5T at $64,850, and our Prestige Signature commencing at $81,750. However, with additional options and destination charges, our fully-equipped GV80 surpasses $84,000.
