  • The GV80 is the first ever SUV to be built by Genesis for 2021. Under the hood is a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 that is producing 375HP & mated to an 8-speed automatic. On the outside you will see a large grill, full LED lighting, 22in wheels, and 6-piston brakes. On the inside you will be greeted by full Nappa leather interior, 14in infotainment screen, and 3-D digital gauge display. Is the 2021 Genesis GV80 a BETTER sport SUV than a 2022 Acura MDX Type S?

    Contrary to this review, Genesis GV80 has ambient lighting. I bought my GV80 Advance, 3.5T, AWD, Asiatic Blue, $4,000 over MRSP in May this year. Three of us were checking out the car at the same time! Absolutely no regrets. Very comfortable and gorgeous dame. I am deliriously happy with my purchase😝 I would pick the GV80 over the MDX in a heartbeat. Maybe when the Model S arrives, that may change. But for now, GV80 all the way. I haven't found one owner who does not looooove his/her car. No comparison, for me.

      @@JokiBroki better interior quality more powerful engine overall chassis structure is better too. But I’d say stay away from genesis. I live in Korea and they’ve been catching fire and having all sorts of quality issues from minor like electronic errors stuff to engine failures shuddering and becoming inoperable to drive. Stick with the Japanese for reliability and if ur going German get the x5 with the inline 6 b58 engine- it’s reliable (hence why Toyota usss it in the Supra)

      Yeah I agree, I have a Genesis but it's a 2015 Hyundai Genesis . And even back then this car drives better and is much more insulated from road and highway noise than a more expensive Cadillac, BMW and so on. After all these years I still absolutely love this car. Now my neighbor has the GV80 and came from a Benz SUV. He said there are some things about the Benz he likes more, but the overall package is far better in the Genesis. He said his Benz was 2 years older than the GV80 and even though they were about the same size he still paid 11k more for the Benz and it wasn't as luxurious. My Genesis has a lot more plastics, not that really cheap scratchy crap, but still way more than I would like. Well Genesis fixed that let me tell you. We paid around 75k for my wife's 2021 expedition. And I can tell you now stepping into and driving my neighbors GV80 you would think he paid around 20k more, he didn't. He actually paid around 4k less than we did. The wife loves that Big beast but man it feels all around cheap in comparison. The cabin is far superior more quiet from road noise in the GV80. Acceleration is much better, handling is way more dialed in. Our Expedition has far to much Body roll. And then you have all that cheap hard touch plastic in the Ford where as his GV80 is soft touch everywhere. Just an outright beautiful vehicle Genesis has brought to the table, I'm impressed!

    The GV80 has some major advantages to me. The longitudinal mount engine is a better design overall for towing and torque steer. Two small turbos has less turbo lag than one larger one. The GV80 also has a port fuel injector plus direct fuel injection system which helps greatly with carbon build up on the intake valves. I purchased this same vehicle, same color combo but in the advance+ model. This engine is pretty developed being basically the same as in the Stinger which tuners have pushed hard without failures from what I have seen. After 7000 miles it is a dream machine! No regrets.

    Everyone seems to miss addressing the elephant in the room .... service after the purchase ... I went to purchase one to only find out the Genesis GV80 can ONLY be serviced by a Genesis dealer wether in warranty or out of warranty. I was told if you break down and there is no dealer near where you are the GV80 MUST be towed to the nearest dealer (too few servicing dealers to make this a viable choice)... at your expense. After the warranty you still have to go a Genesis dealer as they are the only ones that have the diagnostic tools ... I was told point blank .... no Hyundai dealer can service the GV80. So if you buy one from a dealer don't even think about traveling any distance, unless your destination has a Genesis dealer, with it as you could get stuck with no way to get service.

    • @robertwalker8453
      @robertwalker8453 2 года назад +2

      You are exactly right, but name any luxury cars that honor their warranty at other dealerships. Luxury dealerships are only in zip codes that have the median income to support them. People who can afford a luxury vehicle typically live in reasonable proximity to the dealership unless the vehicle is “exotic” (>$250k) and if you can afford a car at that level you don’t need to worry about a warranty.

I also wonder about how you are treated after the sale during service trips.

      You just expressed the reasons why I purchased me a GV80, 3t. I test-drove the gle and x5, then went to test drive the gv80. I could not be persuaded to get out of the vehicle!! I bought it, at $4,000 mark up the mrsp, May 2021. It's been a blast since then. Initially, eerywhere, I mean everywhere I go, I'm swarmed by people asking me what is this make, telling me your car is gorgeois! Your car is beautiful. Who made this? Now there are more on the road. Haters give me the evil eye. Lol. Admirers still try to chat at traffic lights and gas stations. Three Fridays ago, I parked in front of my local Safeway, and a Bentley Bentayga pulled up beside me. I was in awe. Very elegant and expeeensive vehicle. To my amazement, owner came down and said to me: "so you are the ones trying to copy us?" I said noooooo! We can't afford a Bentley. So we took the sister from the strange woman!! He laughed. Told me it's a beautiful car. No problems with my ride, and its almost a year. I drive fast. Can level up with any car and leave them looking at my feathers. They all try to chase me within the limits of speed, but always remain in my rear. My car is Asiatic Blue, gorgeous, mesmerizing and intoxicating! I feel so good I chose the Genesis. Whatever becomes of the longevity, I have a 100,000 mile warranty. Thats good for me. Right now, I am one lucky woman, having a ride of her life!!!! I forgot to add, I studied applied Physics in college, and worked in a mechanic workshop as a hobby for six years in my twenties Specs are just on point. Don't want to get into details. That'll be an epistle. I am very happy with my car. And I get happier everyday that I chose Genesis. Dad has a Benz. Mom rides a BMW. There's no excitement in those two for me. Right now, the Genesis visuals are almost like no other, and the engine pulls up 'like its hot' on most occasions. Every ride leaves me sizzling with satisfaction. Got my eye on the Coupe Concept. Genesis all tbe way!!!!!!!!!

    The car is nice but as you pointed out they definitely need the sport+ option, dark chrome exterior and a better steering wheel because the current one is just way too outdated. They could definitely use some ambient lighting like the Mercedes.
    If I had to pick an suv I’d go with the Acura MDX type S because even if less hp that car looks way better on the exterior and the exhaust are way better looking on the Acura.
    Lastly the Genesis infotainment system imo it’s going to be way better than Acura. The safety feature will also win for the Genesis.

  • @AFCompany

    For me Genesis is luxury focused while Acura is sport focused, so it all depends on what you’re looking for. I like both but if I was driving I would go with the MDX for the sporty styling, interior, and driving dynamics. However if I was being driven I’d want to be cursing in the plushness of the GV80.
