Genesis GV80 3.5T Prestige Review: Power, Luxury, and Performance

In this exhilarating review by TheStraightPipes, the team takes a thrilling spin in the Genesis GV80 3.5T Prestige, unleashing its impressive 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque from the twin-turbo V6 engine. They delve into the sleek exterior design tweaks and the luxurious interior upgrades, including a cutting-edge seamless screen that steals the show. The upcoming GV80 coupe with an electric supercharger and the jaw-dropping Magma concept version add a tantalizing glimpse into Genesis' future offerings.

The team doesn't hold back on critiquing the questionable license plate placement, but they do commend the advanced highway driving assist and the perfectly tuned adaptive cruise system. From the eye-catching wheel design to the comfortable ride quality and the choice of Continental tires, every detail is scrutinized with precision. They also touch upon the color options, engine variants, and the practicality of the three-row seating with dedicated climate control for ultimate comfort.

Delving deeper into the interior, TheStraightPipes explore the innovative OLED double screen setup, the user-friendly rotary dial, and the seamless integration of carplay. However, they don't shy away from criticizing the fake-looking wood trim and the somewhat lackluster massage seats. The team's test drive reveals the GV80's impressive acceleration, handling prowess through corners, and the satisfying steering feedback, all while maintaining a high level of comfort and performance. With a nod to the gloss black accents, cup holders, ambient lighting, and wireless charger, this review leaves no stone unturned in dissecting the Genesis GV80 3.5T Prestige.
