For 2027, the lineup continues in both conventional and coupelike forms, giving buyers a choice between greater practicality and a more expressive take on the same luxury SUV formula.AdvertisementAdvertisementLuxury midsize SUV competitors include the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, and Audi Q7.Image shown is last year model.

It may not be the quickest, most efficient, or sportiest vehicle in the segment, but its comfort, refinement, and upscale presentation make it a credible luxury contender.AdvertisementAdvertisementBoth available engines provide adequate power, although the twin-turbo V-6 feels better suited to the GV80's substantial weight. Even then, acceleration trails some rivals, and the SUV's composed handling never disguises its size. Large wheels can also undermine the otherwise smooth, isolated ride.The GV80 Coupe retains most of the standard model's comfort and cabin quality while adding a more dramatic profile. Passenger space remains surprisingly usable, but buyers sacrifice cargo capacity and pay considerably more for the look. Despite its sportier positioning and available higher-output engine, the Coupe is still at its best as a quiet, stylish luxury cruiser rather than an especially athletic performance SUV.Genesis' infotainment system and expansive display look suitably modern, though some menus and controls could be more intuitive. Overall, the conventional GV80 is the stronger all-around choice, while the Coupe appeals primarily to shoppers willing to trade some practicality and value for added distinction.Top-Ranked Competitors:BMW X5Mercedes-Benz GLE-ClassAudi Q7Porsche CayenneMotorTrend TestedEvery 2027 GV80 pairs its engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Coupe uses a 48-volt electrically driven supercharger with its twin-turbo V-6.GV80 2.5TDrivetrain: RWD or AWDEngine: 2.5-liter turbo-fourHorsepower/Torque: 300 hp/311 lb-ftAcceleration (0–60 mph): 6.4 secondsGV80 3.5TDrivetrain: AWDEngine: 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6Horsepower/Torque: 375 hp/391 lb-ftAcceleration (0–60 mph): 6.0 secondsGV80 CoupeDrivetrain: AWDEngine: 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 mild hybridHorsepower/Torque: 409 hp/405 lb-ftAcceleration (0–60 mph): 5.2 secondsMPGs and RangeThe GV80's standard 2.5-liter turbo four-cylinder earns an EPA-estimated 20/26 mpg city/highway with rear-wheel drive, providing about 464 miles of range. Adding all-wheel drive lowers those figures to 19/24 mpg and approximately 443 miles.AdvertisementAdvertisementGV80 models equipped with the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 come exclusively with AWD and return 17/22 mpg, with an estimated range of 401 miles. The GV80 Coupe's 3.5-liter mild hybrid powertrain carries the same 17/22-mpg rating and 401-mile range.Safety Ratings and FeaturesThe standard GV80 earned a 2026 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award and should perform similarly for 2027, although the GV80 Coupe does not appear to have been evaluated separately. Both body styles received a five-star overall safety rating from NHTSA.Every GV80 comes with standard driver assist technology that includes:Front and rear automatic emergency brakingBlind-spot monitoringLane keepingAdaptive cruise controlDriver focus monitoringHighway Driving Assist 2 semi-autonomous drivingCargo Space and Interior RoomThe GV80 seats up to seven with its available third row, whereas the GV80 Coupe is offered only as a five-passenger, two-row SUV. Despite its lower roofline, the Coupe provides the same first- and second-row legroom as the standard model, though it gives up cargo space.AdvertisementAdvertisementCargo capacity behind the GV80's second row varies by configuration because five-seat and seven-seat models use different load-floor arrangements.TechnologyInfotainmentEvery 2027 GV80 uses a wide 27-inch display that combines the digital instrument cluster and infotainment interface in one panel. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, and four USB ports are standard across the lineup.Sound SystemBase models come with a nine-speaker audio system. Upper trims upgrade to an 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen setup.Available UpgradesDepending on trim and body style, available amenities include heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated center armrest, and three- or four-zone climate control. Upper trims can also add features such as a head-up display, digital rearview mirror, soft-close doors, power rear sunshades, and Genesis' Mood Curator system.ValueStandard FeaturesEvery 2027 GV80 comes with a large, fancy display, wireless phone mirroring, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, four-zone climate control, and a hands-free power liftgate. A broad driver assistance suite is also standard.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe GV80 base model starts at roughly $60,500. That is not inexpensive, and all-wheel drive costs extra, but the GV80's strong standard technology, comfort equipment, 300-hp engine, and upscale cabin make the entry model a persuasive value among midsize luxury SUVs.Recommended TrimWe like the GV80 2.5T Advanced AWD. It adds leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, a surround-view camera, remote parking assistance, and the Bang & Olufsen audio system while keeping the more efficient 300-hp four-cylinder.
