Thanks: Borishof borishof.ru/ t.me/+MhB2M5X9srtiZWMy borishof.ru/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video_C… 2024 Genesis GV80 Starting at $59.050 Highs: Oozes sophistication; a long list of standard features; athletic and refined road manners, especially with the V-6. Lows: Twin-turbo V-6 turbocharges the price, no hybrid or plug-in-hybrid option, third-row seating is only for kids. Verdict: It gets confused for a Bentley, but it's priced like a Genesis, which makes the GV80 something special. Overview In less than 15 years, Genesis has gone from being the name of a Hyundai sedan with uncertain prospects to being an undisputed luxury brand making some of the most sophisticated ways of getting from here to there. We get more proof of that every time someone asks if the GV80—a former C/D 10Best winner—is a Bentley. Under the SUV’s sleek skin, a standard turbocharged four-cylinder packs a good punch, but the optional twin-turbo V-6 unlocks noteworthy performance. All models feature an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Genesis still acts like a challenger against established brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, improving its original formula of offering great bang for one’s luxury buck. Stately allure, designer interiors, and luxe cabin finishes make every GV80—especially the plusher variants—look and feel like they should cost thousands more while actually costing the same or less than the most popular SUVs in the class. What's New for 2024? Genesis has made just a few nips and tucks to the GV80 this year. Every trim gets a standard Wi-Fi hotspot with the ability to connect to five devices. The Cardiff Green and Brunswick Green exterior colors are no longer available, nor is the Maroon Brown and Smokey Green two-tone interior. The Advanced package comes with a power-folding third row, and it sacrifices its compact spare for a tire-repair kit. The Prestige Signature trim returns to the lineup after taking a year off, available in three color combinations: Mauna Red exterior over a black interior, Brunswick Green Matte over Urban Ground and Beige, and Vik Black over black. All three sport dark chrome exterior trim. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2024 Genesis GV80 starts at $59.050 and goes up to $83.270 depending on the trim and options. 2.5T: $59,050 2.5T Advanced: $65,145 3.5T: $65,795 2.5T Prestige: $70,395 3.5T Advanced: $73,145 3.5T Prestige: $78,195 3.5T Prestige Matte: $79,695 3.5T Prestige Signature: $83,270 Engine, Transmission, and Performance This mid-size luxury crossover has the same underpinnings as the G80 sedan and comes standard with all-wheel drive. The engine choices start with a 300-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and escalate to a 375-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6. We hustled the turbo four to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds on our test track. The V-6 model cut that time to a brisk 5.3 seconds. After driving both versions of the GV80, we can say that the new SUV feels athletic in corners and delivers a quiet ride, but buyers seeking more thrills could consider a Porsche Cayenne or an Audi SQ8. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo Photos don’t do justice to how rich and elegant the GV80's interior is. Even the lower trims are finished with classy touches like burled wood trim, metal accents, and integrated ambient lighting. The large rectangular infotainment display set into the dash keeps matters upscale but uncluttered. The front seats are comfortable, supportive, and available with a massage function that feels legitimately relaxing. A standard three-across bench seat in the second row allows for up to five passengers; a third row of seats is an optional feature, but space back there is limited and should be considered a place solely for kids. We fit 13 carry-on suitcases behind the second row and the GV80 swallowed a total of 28 with the second row folded flat. Read More www.caranddriver.com/genesis/gv80-2024
