New Genesis GV80: A Luxurious Ride That Puts Comfort First

New Genesis GV80: A Luxurious Ride That Puts Comfort First

If you're shopping for a luxury SUV and have your eye on a Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Audi, you might want to take a look at the new Genesis GV80 Coupe. This Korean-built rival delivers a cabin that feels every bit as plush as its German competitors, with quilted Nappa leather, real wood trim, and a quiet, refined ride that makes daily commutes feel like a special occasion.

5-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 409 horsepower. It moves this 5,200-pound SUV with smooth, effortless power, but don't expect it to carve corners like a sporty sedan. The GV80 prioritizes comfort over agility. On bumpy roads, it glides where a BMW might jostle you. That's the trade-off: you get a supremely comfortable cruiser, not a track star.

Inside, the layout is clean and functional, though the two similar knobs below the dash—one for shifting, one for the infotainment screen—can be confusing at first. Once you get used to it, everything works well.

At just over $91,000, it's not cheap, but it undercuts many Germans when similarly equipped. For owners of European or Japanese luxury cars who value a soft, quiet ride over sharp handling, this Genesis is worth a test drive.

If you own a Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche, VW, Volvo, Jaguar, Lexus, Toyota, or Honda and have questions about your vehicle's suspension, tires, or hybrid system, stop by Boca Auto Care.
