Genesis GV80 review: A budget Bentayga!

Meet the new Genesis GV80! It’s a posh, luxurious 7-seater that is looking to go toe-to-toe with market leaders such as the Mercedes GLS and Audi SQ7! The question is, can this Korean SUV display the German market leaders Well, let’s take a look at what you get for your money. It certainly looks the part from the outside, with a smart split taillight design and roof spoiler around the back, through to a huge grille up front. In fact, we’re pretty sure the Genesis designers borrowed a bit from the Bentley Bentayga… But then again, that’s no bad thing! The quality continues on the inside, with soft-touch materials throughout the cabin. Premium models such as the one we have here come with wood effect trim as well, which if anything reminds us of the BMW iX! It also comes with a set of digital dials, although the quality isn’t that great. One area where the GV80 is let down is the choice of engines, where you only have one petrol and one diesel to choose from. The petrol’s a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder turbo that can produce 304hp, so if you’re looking for a bit more power from a 7-seater, you may want to look elsewhere. The Genesis GV80 comes in at £60,000, rising up to around £78,000 for top-of-the-range models. So what do you think - is it worth it Stick with Mat and see for yourself!
