It does the job, nothing more

The 2021 Genesis GV80 is competent transportation. Nothing went wrong, nothing impressed me either. If you just need a reliable appliance this will serve you fine. If you want something engaging, look elsewhere.

Mixed feelings after six months

Excited at purchase, reality more subdued. Positives: generous space, good fuel economy. Negatives: touchscreen freezes, rear wiper smears, lane-keeping too aggressive. Not bad but needs polish.

Best car I've ever owned

I've owned many cars and the 2021 Genesis GV80 is comfortably the best. Interior feels genuinely premium, ride is smooth, infotainment actually works. My only gripe is wind noise at motorway speeds — minor on an otherwise outstanding vehicle.

Worst car purchase I've ever made

Cannot recommend. Transmission issue, electrical fault that stranded me, engine warning light dealer cannot diagnose. Every visit takes a week. I had high expectations. Avoid.

Decent, but not outstanding

The 2021 Genesis GV80 is a solid car that does its job competently without really exciting me. The ride is comfortable, easy to drive, and the safety features work well. However, the interior materials feel a step below what the price suggests, and the engine is noticeably noisy when pushed. Expecte…

Three years in — still no complaints

Bought my 2021 Genesis GV80 new and just crossed 45,000 miles with not a single mechanical issue. Tyres wearing evenly, everything works as it did on day one, and it still gets compliments in car parks. Resale value is holding up brilliantly. For anyone looking for a reliable long-term ownership pro…

Good but expected more

There's nothing wrong with the 2021 Genesis GV80 per se — it's competent, reliable, and comfortable. But 'competent' isn't what you want when you've spent this much. The interior has a couple of hard plastic panels that feel out of place for the price, and the engine note isn't particularly pleasant…

Excellent value at the spec I chose

I opted for the mid-spec 2021 Genesis GV80 and hit the sweet spot. All the features I actually use are included without the premium of the top trim. Standard kit is generous — heated seats, wireless Apple CarPlay, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert all came as standard. Build qualit…
