The GV80 is the luxury SUV that feels like it should cost more than it does.
Sumptuous interior design · Quiet, serene cabin
Gas-only powertrain limitations · Third row is kids-only territory
The 2026 Genesis GV80 redefines luxury with an interior that feels fresh out of a designer's sketchbook. It's a symphony of refined ride quality and elegant design, wrapped in a package that doesn't scream for attention, but quietly demands it. We were impressed by the cabin's serenity, even on bustling city streets, and the intuitive tech that feels like an extension of your own mind. However, the absence of hybrid or electric options in this age of green consciousness is a missed opportunity for Genesis. Still, for those who prioritize comfort and style over sporty pretensions, the GV80 is a compelling choice. Opt for the GV80 if you want the luxury of a Mercedes without the badge's price tag.
Our pick: 2.5T Advanced AWD ($70,095)
vs. 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE: The GLE brings the brand prestige and a more diverse powertrain lineup, but the GV80 offers a more refined interior and a better value proposition.
