First impressions are that Genesis has nailed the SUV Coupe design. It looks elegant, proportional and sporty all together. The black overtones along with dark 22 inch alloys stand out.

Inside its as you would expect. Opulence everywhere. Nappa lather seats with suede highlights welcomes all occupants. Heated and ventilated seats add to the luxury.

The large all in one drivers’ instruments and central screen is familiar to many models in the lineup. Its clear and easy to read. User interface is simple.

Finding a comfortable driver’s position is simple.

While it may not lay claim to being a sports SUV it is aimed at enthusiastic drivers.

Powered by the familiar 3.5L twin turbo V6 petrol engine, which delivers 279kW of power and 530 Nm or torque. This drives all wheels through an eight speed sports AT.

Maximum speed is 240 kmh and it will zip along from 0-100 km/h in 5.7 seconds. But it’s the everyday driving that enhances the sporty feel. Its quite responsive for such a big SUV.

Priced from $141,500 plus the usual costs its actually great value compared to other European prestige SUVs.

I have to say im a big fan of the Genesis GV80 Coupe.

I’m a big fan of the GV70.

I particularly like the performance. The 3.5 litre turbo petrol engine provides an engaging driver experience. It encourages you to adopt a sporty driving style.

It can be a little bit thirsty though, but cruises effortlessly.

I also like the exterior styling. It has quite a sleek design that was certainly appealing to lots of people that chatted to me about it.

Inside its comfort and luxury all the way. From the thick flat bottomed steering wheel, super comfortable and supportive front seats right down to the ability to select interior fragrance.

The large drivers’ instruments blend seamlessly to the central screen. And the overall layout is  kind of cool.

There is a huge moonroof and just about everything an owner could want as standard.

Rear seat leg room is a little restricted, but boot space is good.

Overall the GV70 3.5T Signature Sport gets a big tick and a price of $100,000 dollars plus the usual costs shows its great value compared to its European competitors

The post Genesis GV70 3.5T Signature Sport revisited for 2025 appeared first on Motoring Minute.

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.

I often think of the Genesis as a luxury premier brand without the price tag. The GV80 SUV is priced from a bit under $130,000 plus the usual costs. Considering that includes everything that was previously part of the luxury pack option that’s actually excellent value.

It’s a big SUV but doesn’t look that large. The styling is surprisingly sleek.

Inside its all luxury. Deeply cushioned seats that cocoon the occupants, expansive driver instrument and central screen and the feeling of opulence all around.

There is a choice of six or seven seats, depending on what your circumstances are. I do like the six-seat option. There are Isofix mounting points on the two outer middle row seats with top tether points as well.

Boot space ranges from minimal, when using all three rows, through to cavernous with all seats folded. Plenty of room for luggage or a baby stroller and gear.

Performance comes from a 3.5 litre V6 twin turbo petrol engine. It’s a little thirsty but with All wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission, it allows sporty performance. 0-100km/h in 5.6 seconds isn’t too bad considering its size.

One thing that really was noticeable was just how smooth and quiet the GV80 is to drive. It simply cruises effortlessly.

I have to say I really enjoyed my time in the GV80 SUV.

The post Genesis GV70 3.5t Signature Sport Review appeared first on Motoring Minute.

It’s a more compact design than the Genesis GV70 we drove last week. Designed from the platform up as an EV.

It’s style is a blend of coupe and SUV and looks great in the flesh. Lots of people commented about its looks and most really liked it.

Inside the pure EV design shows in a  simple and spacious feel. There is an abundance of storage space, and the dash layout is driver focused.

The GV60 Performance Lux All Wheel Drive model comes with a the 77.4 kilowatt hour battery with some 360 kilowatts  of power and a healthy 700 newton metres of torque.

This is good for a 0-100kmh time of around 4 seconds. That’s quick for any car.

It also has a real life range of between 400 – 450 kilometres.

Coming from Genesis, you expect the GV60 to be full of luxury, comfort and safety features and it doesn’t disappoint.

There is a lot to like, but in honestly not a fan of the digital external rear view mirrors. It takes a long time to get used to them.

Priced from around $114,000 plus the usual costs

The post Genesis GV60 Performance Lux AWD SUV 2024 Review appeared first on Motoring Minute.

Being the electric version, its quiet and smooth to drive. It certainly has enough performance if that’s what you want. But its more about the refined ride and handling.

There isn’t much that can upset the GV70 and that makes for a relaxed driving experience.

The 77.4 kilowatt hour battery is enough for about 400km range and is relatively quick to charge at a rapid charger. It takes a lot longer at home but its more convenient.

Inside its all luxury. The front seats cocoon you when you sit. Sitting in the GV70 is like putting a favourite pair of jeans, it just feels comfortable.

Of course, Genesis has put everything in the car they can to make it like that.

Rear seats are designed for two people and there is ample boot space for your luggage.

To be honest I prefer the GV70 3.5 litre twin turbocharged V6 engine, but the EV model is perfect for buyers that suits their needs.

Its priced from a little over $126,000 plus the usual costs, but Genesis have made quiet a statement with their cars.

The post Genesis GV70 EV Driven 2024 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.
