Like a thief in the night, Genesis is creeping up on the established luxury players in the Australian new-car market.
Its sales numbers remain relatively modest, but they’re ticking up all the time, and a growing presence on the road is turning an increasing number of heads.
The brand has committed to cease production of petrol and diesel models in 2025, and move to a 100 per cent pure-electric line-up by 2030. But for the time being its flagship, the large, three-row GV80 SUV, is powered by good-old internal combustion.
And the subject of this test sits at the top of the GV80 pyramid. As the name implies, the 3.5T AWD is powered by a 3.5-litre turbo-petrol V6 sending drive to all four wheels.
We spent a week with the three-row, six-seat version to see how it copes with the rigours of family life.
