2022 GV80 Performance

The GV80 is available with a choice of two engines, each of which is capable of pulling up to 6,000 lbs in towing capacity. The base engine is a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder developing 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. This is paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox for smooth shifts. Power goes to the rear wheels as standard but an AWD system is available too. Opt for models with the 3.5T suffix and you'll have no say in whether you get AWD or not as it's standard here, along with the same eight-speed auto. Here you get a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that produces an impressive 375 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. In terms of acceleration and top speed figures, Genesis hasn't provided any information, but don't expect the GV80 to be a class-leading performance SUV - this vehicle is all about comfort and luxury, as evidenced by the availability of features like active noise cancellation and electronically controlled suspension. Refinement and smoothness come second to speed, but this isn't an underpowered hunk of technology either and will happily pottle along just as well as it can cruise on the highway.

Engine and Transmission

The base engine is a 2.5-liter turbo-four with specs of 300 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque while the upper trims see the use of a bigger, 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo power plant with 375 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. Both models are equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Either way, the power is there for smooth and quiet acceleration, and there's plenty for getting into that gap in traffic when needed. Both engines do that commendably, but the V6 model we tested does it with a more authoritative surge and a sense of athleticism. The Genesis eight-speed transmission has all the hallmarks of an excellent luxury unit. It's smooth, unfussy, and you'll forget it's there quietly going about its business of managing the power.

2022 GV80 Gas Mileage

According to the EPA, RWD versions of the base model will return figures of 21/25/23 mpg on the city/highway/combined cycles while AWD versions will drop the combined figure by one mpg. 3.5-liter models are naturally thirstier, returning figures of 18/23/20 mpg on the same cycles. With a 21.1-gallon gas tank fitted to all models, the RWD versions will get you furthest with an average mixed driving range of around 485 miles. Our V6 tester delivered the 20 mpg combined despite freeway miles being offset by mountain road exploration. While 20 mpg combined isn't excellent, the Genesis engine is consistent and won't be prone to surprising the bank account. However, like most of its luxurious rivals, the turbocharged motors do require a steady diet of premium gasoline.
