Fulfill the new Genesis GV80!
It's a swank, luxurious 7-seater that is wanting to go toe-to-toe with market leaders such as the Mercedes GLS and Audi SQ7! The question is, can this Korean SUV display the German market leaders?
Well, let's have a look at what you get for your money. It definitely looks the part from the outside, with a clever split taillight design and roofing system spoiler around the back, through to a huge grille in advance. In fact, we're pretty sure the Genesis designers obtained a bit from the Bentley Bentayga … But then again, that's no bad thing!
The quality advances the inside, with soft-touch materials throughout the cabin. Premium designs such as the one we have here included wood impact trim also, which if anything reminds us of the BMW iX! It likewise features a set of digital dials, although the quality isn't that terrific.
One location where the GV80 is let down is the option of engines, where you only have one gas and one diesel to choose from. The gas's a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder turbo that can produce 304hp, so if you're trying to find a bit more power from a 7-seater, you might wish to look somewhere else.
The Genesis GV80 can be found in at ₤ 60,000, rising to around ₤ 78,000 for top-of-the-range designs. So what do you believe – is it worth it? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!
