This is a bold move considering that the market is now almost 60% SUVs and that EV sales are less than 5% market share.

The G80 EV comes in one highly equipped AWD model.

Powered by a 94.5 kWh battery. The G80 EV has a WLTP range of 570km, but a realistic real-world range would be closer to 500km.

Inside the 27-inch OLED display is a prominent feature. The front seats are especially comfortable.

Rear seats are true limousine quality. Abundant leg room from the extended wheelbase and individual seat controls make the rear a pleasant place to sit. Oh, and for those that don’t like opening their own doors the rear ones are powered.

For the audiophiles there is a powerful 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium sound system.

As you would expect Genesis has thrown everything in the G80 EV that they can, even an  UV-C Sanitising Console to keep germs away.

Priced from $155,000 plus the usual costs, the Genesis is actually good value.

Cars such as the Genesis G80 EV are becoming rare but bring an element of affordable sophistication that is needed in the market.

The post Genesis G80 EV Sedan 2025 Update details appeared first on Motoring Minute.

I drove the Genesis last week and absolutely loved it.

All week I had people chatting to me about how beautiful the design is. They seem to get the balance just right.

Inside the GV80 Coupe is all luxury and comfort. Let’s start with the seats. They are sumptuous and embrace the occupants like a lounge chair.

The flat bottom steering wheel surrounds the digital dash. To the left is a wide central screen that has excellent clarity.

There are flashes of real carbon fibre mixed with quilted Nappa Leather enhance the interior ambience.

Rear seats have a recline function as well as a fold flat ability. They also have two isofix and top tether points for baby seats.

Leg room is restricted and I’m not really a fan of the digital screens on the rear of the front seats.

The boot is generous but slightly limited by the coupe roof line.

Performance comes from a 3.5 litre V6 petrol engine that has reasonable acceleration but can get thirsty if pushed hard.

Ride is smooth and handling has a rear wheel bias with all wheel drive capability.

Pricing for the Genesis GV80 Coupe is from a little over $135,000 dollars plus the usual costs.

The post Genesis GV80 Coupe SUV 2025 review appeared first on Motoring Minute.

With a sleek coupe like design, sleek lines, and almost perfect size, the GV70 gets it all about right.,

Having both the Luxury and Sport Line option packs means that this model has everything Genesis could throw in the car.

It shows. Inside its luxury comfort all the way.

Sumptuous Nappa Leather seats, with 18 way electric adjustment for the driver along with an oh so relaxing massage function.

Large central screen, heads up Display, rear outer heated seats and 3 way climate control air conditioning are just a few of the comfort features.

The GV70 is powered by a 2.5L turbo petrol engine. It provides 224 kilowatts of power and 422 Newton metres of torque. This is the all-wheel drive version and comes with an eight speed sports automatic transmission.

It’s a sporty package, not fast but responsive and reasonably economical.

The Genesis GV70 2.5T is priced from $70,900. The Luxury and Sportline option packs add another $13,000 to that, plus the usual on road costs.

Overall, I enjoyed the GV70. Absolutely worth a drive if you are looking for a premium mid-sized SUV.

The post Best of 2023 – Genesis GV70 2.5T Luxury Sportline Review appeared first on Motoring Minute.

This is priced from a little under $120,000 plus the usual costs. Its expensive but actually good value compared to other premium SUV models.

The GV80 is stylish and looks bold and handsome. It cuts an imposing presence on the road.

Inside its luxury and comfort all the way. The list of clever features is almost endless.

The seats are particularly comfortable. Heated and cooled of course, with electric adjustments. Its like a lounge chair for the driver.

Passengers aren’t forgotten, with individualised middle seats also heated and with slide ability.

I had to sit in the third-row seat for a trip into town and found it more comfortable than most others.

The 3.0 Litre diesel engine has more than enough power and torque as well as excellent economy. The 8-speed automatic is smooth and gest the most from the engine.

For something this size it’s a breeze to drive around town. Quiet, comfortable, and luxurious.

I really enjoyed the GV80 and was sad to hand it back. It’s an ideal premium family SUV for those that appreciate a little more quality.

More Genesis GV80 3.0L thoughts

• For a big SUV it has style and grace
• Often mistaken for a Bentayga.
• Its still big though at almost 5m in length
• Inside the ambience if luxury all the way
• Front seats are like lounge chairs with massage function.
• The large central screen has excellent clarity and functionality.
• There is a heap of space inside.
• All three rows of seats will comfortably accommodate normal sized adults.
• When taking passengers, they all seem to want the middle captains’ chairs.
• Driver information is looked after by the large 12.3 inch digital instrument cluster and 12.0 inch HUD.
• I’m not really a fan of the rotary dial controls.
• The six seat Luxury option pack throws everything in the car you could possibly want.
• Boot space with 4 seats is huge, with 6 seats in use not so much.
• The engine and transmission combine well for performance and economy. Smooth and powerful.
• Sometimes the ride from the low profile 22-inch tyres is a little harsh and skittish
• Don’t let the AWD in the name fool you. This isn’t meant for anything more adventurous than the gravel road to the country estate or snow trips.
• It feels big in tight suburban shopping centre car parks.
• Out on the open road though its feel great.

Also look at.

Large luxury SUVs are popular these days. Genesis GV80 sits between the top end premium brands in price, but not quality, and the larger mainstream brands.

Buyers could look at the Audi Q7, Hyundai Palisade, Volvo XC90, Lexus RX or the Mazda CX-90.

Otherwise there is some more alternative options like the Toyota Granvia, Lexus LM or Kia Carnival.

Genesis GV80 3.0L Final thoughts

I liked the big Genesis. The six-seat version of the GV80 is a luxurious and comfortable place to sit.

With a 3.0L diesel engine and 8 Sp AT it has plenty of power and performance.

While its not really an adventurous AWD it will be great for snow trips etc.

One key factor with all Genesis vehicles is that they are excellent value for money, usual when compared to what you need to pay to buy an equivalent vehicle.

My only real gripe with the GV80 is that its big. It doesn’t look it, but it is. And that can sometimes mean difficulty parking it in tight suburban shopping centre car parks.
