BimmerLife We’re Taking a Final Drive in the G80 M3. What Do You Want to Know? The 2027 model year marks the end of the line for the G8X generation M3 and M4. These models have been, without question, the most popular M3 and M4 models ever made,…
If one vehicle turned Genesis from a curiosity into a contender, it was the GV80. The brand's first SUV arrived for the 2021 model year with a long hood, a crest-shaped grille flanked by twin-line headlights and the kind of road presence that made people ask what it was at gas stations. It landed squarely against the BMW X5, Mercedes GLE, Audi Q7 and Lexus RX, and it did not look out of place in that company.
The GV80 rides on rear-drive-based underpinnings and has been offered with a turbocharged four-cylinder and a smooth twin-turbo V6. Its quiet, beautifully finished cabin quickly became its calling card, along with a strong warranty and plenty of standard features. The complaints have been consistent: the third row is best for small passengers, fuel economy is unremarkable, and depreciation can sting compared with German rivals. A sleeker GV80 Coupe joined later, and a midlife refresh brought a wide curved display and a sharper interior.
The next chapter is electrification. Genesis has detailed a hybrid version of the GV80, a significant step for a brand whose SUVs have relied on turbocharged gasoline engines, while the much larger electric GV90 now sits above it as the flagship. The GV80 remains the heart of the lineup for families who want luxury without a German badge, and the coverage collected here tracks its powertrain changes, reviews, recalls, pricing and how it measures up against the class establishment.
The handsome three-row SUV that put Genesis on luxury shoppers' maps, now with a Coupe sibling, a fresh cabin and hybrid power on the way.
