The thing with arriving late to a party is that you will need to pull off all sorts of tricks to get noticed. When the party is the mid-size luxury SUV segment, bring two times the tricks.

Facing off against a slew of established players, newcomer Genesis GV70 has no shortage of party tricks. It knows the competition set is tough and the segment is hot, with names like the Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMX X3, Audi Q5 and Lexus NX fighting to get into the heads of buyers in this space. Is there anymore room for another entrant?

For something that looks as sexy and suave as the GV70, we think so. Here’s an entrant from South Korea going up against traditional German and Japanese rivals, with a blank sheet to start off and no heritage guidelines to restrict. Creativity is allowed to run wild and the result is quite spectacular.

One look at the GV70 and is clear the designers had a main focus in mind – to create an identity and a strong presence that is unique to the model. They achieved this by giving the GV70 the ‘Genesis look’ – two lines of the quad lamps circumventing all sides of the vehicle, with the indicator light bar neatly integrated within, mixed in with that bold signature ‘Crest Grille’ and the sweeping roof line.

The base design is cool, but when further dressed up with big 21-inch wheels and a matte grey exterior paintwork like how it’s spec’ed up on our test vehicle, the effect is simply stunning. It’s bold. It’s sophisticated. It’s expensive.

As a first attempt at the medium luxury crossover, that’s a pretty remarkable effort from Hyundai’s luxury spin-off. If we were being picky, it would be that the standalone rear quarter window at first looked a little odd, but we did gradually warmed up to it.

The interior is an absolute knock out. Such luxurious and high quality is the cabin that it feels way more expensive than the GV70’s asking price of between $70k and $127k – which is not cheap to begin with. The ambiance mixes lux with contemporary and the designers have done such a great job. It exudes class, sophistication and quality that none of its rivals can match. The materials used throughout the cabin are top shelve stuff and every knob and button gives such lovely tactical feedback.

While it’s not as much of a tech feast as some European rivals, the tech on display is still pretty up-to-date. The standard instrumentation cluster combines a conventional analogue gauge with a LCD display, with the optional Luxury Package offering a super cool 12.3-inch 3D instrument cluster that gives a sense of depth to the virtual gauges.

Elsewhere, the 12.0-inch coloured Head-Up Display (HUD) is massive but we wish there was an option to hide the lane trace assist indication to minimise clutter. It also fades out too much behind polarised lenses, making readability difficult.

Central to the dashboard is a 14.5-inch widescreen infotainment display that can either be operated by touch or a remote control in the centre console. While the screen itself is superbly sharp and very responsive to the touch, the controls can do with a lot more improvement. Because the control combines a rotary dial, arrow buttons and a round touchpad all into one, it is confusing to use. It needs to be simplified.

Other tech standard in all GV70 variants include wireless (Qi standard) smartphone charging, 12-way power-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, a panorama sunroof, DAB+ digital radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and a 9-speaker audio system.

Our tester is the top-spec GV70 3.5T AWD Sport with the Luxury Package option. With that it comes loaded with a 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround sound system, massage function for the driver’s seat, heated second-row seats and heated steering wheel.

Also part of the Lux Pack are the Nappa leather appointed seats with quilted stitching, complimented with dark suede headlining. The seats not only look good, but they are also very comfortable and supportive. The rear bench can accomodate two adults plus a child comfortably. Sitting three adults will be a bit of a squeeze. While head and leg room is fine, there is quite a large transmission hump which the centre passenger will have to put up with.

Cargo capacity with the rear seats up is 542 litres which is about average for this class of vehicle. Fold the rear seats and the space expands to 1687 litres.

The range of powertrains on offer includes a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol rated at 224kW and 422Nm, a 2.2-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel producing 154kW and 440Nm, and a high performance 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol developing 279kW and 530Nm as found in our 3.5T AWD Sport tester. All engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The line-up has just recently seen the addition of a full electric variant that features a twin motor all-wheel-drive set up packing 360kW and 700Nm.

The twin-turbo 3.5L V6 is silky smooth with strong and linear power delivery right across the rev range. And it loves to revs. The sprint from 0 to 100km/h is rated at 5.1 seconds but it feels faster than that, mainly because of the enthusiastic soundtrack that accompanies a wide open throttle.

Despite weighing around two tonnes, this thing pulls like no body’s business. There seems to be an endless of wave of torque that will take you deep into three digit speeds and well pass the legal highway speed limit in a very short time. Don’t say you haven’t been warned.

If you do have a heavy right foot, be wary of the fuel gauge, too. The turbo V6 is a heavy drinker and frequent belting will see fuel consumption hovers around 16L/100km. Even driven sedately don’t expect the figure to drop below 10L/100km. Never happens and not even with lots of freeway driving.

Unlike its big brother the GV80 which is tuned more toward grand touring than sports, the GV70 – especially in the 3.5T AWD Sport trim – feels rather well balanced. The ride is not to say the plushes but it’s certainly compliant enough for our average roads, and the dynamics are pretty good as well. It feels tidy and composed around the bends. Yes, that heft is a constant company but the direct steering masks a lot of it out. The rigid chassis also gives a good feel of the road.

The cabin is very well insulated from road and wind noise, and the opulent cabin is a great place to be in for eating up the miles. The engine is muted on cruise, too.

It’s important to mention after sales service in a Genesis review because it’s one of the best in the business. All Genesis models come with free scheduled servicing for the first 5 years or 50,000km (70,000km for diesel), and one the segment’s longest warranty period at 5 years and unlimited kilometres.

On top of that, the Genesis Concierge Service will arrange for the pickup and delivery of your GV70 when it is due for scheduled maintenance or warranty services. While your car is serviced, a Genesis courtesy vehicle is left at your disposal.

For extra peace of mind, owners are also enrolled in a complimentary 5-Year 24/7 Roadside Assistance program.

Brand heritage, or the lack of, and a small dealership network may be the two biggest concerns for any potential Genesis buyer, but look past that and there’s certainly many factors to justify taking the plunge.

Genesis has unveiled its third and final X concept, the Genesis X Convertible, ahead of its official debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Showcasing the luxury brand’s Athletic Elegance design language in its purest form, the concept shares its underpinnings and electric powertrain with the X Concept from 2021 and X Speedium Coupe concept from earlier this year.

On the styling front, the stunning concept features classic proportions with a long bonnet and short front overhang. Like all Genesis products, the brand’s familiar Quad Lights make an appearance at the front, forming an LED light bar and an outline of the Crest Grille.

Side on, its shallow glasshouse, low roof line, bulging wheel arches along with the pronounced crease line that stretches from the bonnet all the way to the lip spoiler on the decklid give the concept a classic grand tourer profile.

Dubbed the ‘Parabolic Line’, Genesis says it “emphasises the regal character of the profile, creating tension between the full surfaces through a gently rearward-sloping horizontal belt line”.

While it might have gone out of fashion of late, the concept features a folding hardtop with transparent moon roof above the occupants. Finally, the concept rolls on a set of complex G-Matrix pattern and concave alloy wheels.

Inside, the car’s interior is equally as impressive with a wraparound instrument panel and cabin materials made of a mixture of recyclable wool fabric and leather. It also features a sound system developed by sound master, Guk-il Yu.

Genesis’ GV70 mid-size luxury SUV has just gained a fully electric model. Sitting above the GV70 3.5T Sport All-Wheel Drive variant, the Electrified GV70 Performance features a twin electric motor system with all-wheel drive.

With twin 180kW, 350Nm electric motors – one driving the front wheels and one driving the rear wheels – the all-wheel drive Electrified GV70 delivers total maximum outputs of 360kW (with Boost Mode) and 700Nm, accelerating from rest to 100km/h in just 4.2 seconds.

A 77.4kWh power battery offers 445km (WLTP) of driving range and can charge from 10 to 80 percent in 18 minutes when plugged into a 350kW DC fast charger.

In addition, Electrified GV70 features the Genesis SUV-specific e-Terrain Mode, which enables “a stable driving experience across the spectrum of driving conditions”.

The application of a 400V/800V multi-rapid charging system lets customers utilise a variety of 400V and 800V charging infrastructures without the need for an additional converter.

A Disconnector Actuator System (DAS) in Electrified GV70 can automatically connect or disconnect the front motor and drive shaft in consideration of various conditions, such as driving mode and vehicle speed. The system enables seamless switching between RWD and AWD, reducing unnecessary power loss for optimum efficiency.

The fully electric SUV’s Smart Regenerative Braking system also optimises coasting efficiency by automatically adjusting the amount of regenerative braking in three stages, based on the speed of the vehicle ahead, the following distance, and navigation map road sign data such as the position of safety cameras.

An i-PEDAL (Intelligent Pedal) driving mode takes the level of regenerative braking a step further to let the driver accelerate, decelerate and stop using only the accelerator pedal.

The Electrified GV70 is offered in one highly equipped ‘Luxury Package’ trim grade, priced from $127,800 plus on-road costs. With the vehicle already fully spec’ed, there is only one option available which is matte paint costing $2,000.

Genesis Motor’s vision for electrification has now given rise to three new EVs this year, with GV60, Electrified G80 and Electrified GV70 all now available in Australia.

For decades, the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class have been battling it out in the compact executive segment. So dominant have those models become, that left field options have had little success in shaking up the status quo. 

Perfectly good cars like the Audi A4 and Lexus IS have tried to sway buyers for a long time, but they are often written off the list simply because they are not the 3 Series or C-Class.

Just when you thought brands giving up on the segment and leaving it to the mighty German duo, here comes another challenger. Well, it actually arrived back in 2019, but things have gotten a lot more serious with this refresh in 2022.

The challenger is the Genesis G70. For those who are not familiar with the Genesis brand, it’s the luxury arm of Hyundai that started in 2015, and the G70 is – currently – the entry point into the premium brand. If Genesis’ aim was for the brand to be discovered by more people, the G70 is the model tasked with achieving that goal.

2022 Genesis G70 price (excluding on-road costs):

2.0T: $63,000

3.3T: $76,000

Options:

Sport Line Package: $4,000 (standard on 3.3T)

Luxury Package: $10,000

Matte Paint: $2,000

Is there anything interesting about the way it looks?

The 2022 Genesis G70 has been given a major facelift, with the front fascia completely redesigned and the rear sporting new taillights and bumper. Bringing the styling more inline with the Genesis family look, the new G70 now features the company’s signature quad lamps that circumvent all sides of the car, with the indicator light bar neatly integrated within. The ‘Crest Grille’, the brand’s corporate face, sits bold and proud up front, giving it unmistakable road presence.

Being the G70 Sport, our tester boasts a host of sporty touches including dark chrome for the crest grille, black side air vents and those new style 19-inch gloss black wheels.

It’s amazing how a facelift – if done right – could transform the looks of a car. Not that the pre-update G70 was ugly by any means, if fact it’s already a handsome machine with good proportions, but this new model just elevates things up a level. It looks so much more premium and sophisticated. It is genuinely a great looking car.

Does the interior stack up?

Genesis has been churning out some truly exquisite interiors lately, like those seen in the GV70, G80 and GV80. Those new models feature the brand’s ultra posh cabin design which, unfortunately, isn’t seen here in the updated G70. 

And there’s a good reason for it. First launched in 2019, the G70’s cabin was penned before Genesis’ slew of new generation cabins were introduced. So, the original G70 interior, which is still nice and premium, has been carried over to this updated model largely unchanged. 

That said, Genesis did make the effort to update some essentials, such as the larger 10.25-inch infotainment unit and, if the $10,000 Luxury Package is optioned, a 12.3-inch 3D virtual instrument cluster.

It’s apparent the infotainment unit is straight out of a Hyundai, running the same interface as those used in its more mainstream cousins. While there isn’t much wrong with this interface other than those painfully small icons in map view, it just isn’t very ‘premium’. Genesis does have its own bespoke infotainment but it’s probably not compatible – at least for now – for an older Genesis model like the G70.

Our tester is fitted with the Luxury Pack and it gets the super cool 3D instrument cluster. If you’re wondering, no you don’t need 3D glasses. It works by using stereoscopic cameras under the instrument binnacle to locate the driver’s eyes and augment the fully LCD instrument panel to give a sense of depth to the virtual gauges.

Other luxurious touches for 2022 include richly tactile (if not a little old fashioned) cross stitched quilting and classy geometric patterned trim inserts.

Luxury Package further brings suede headlining and pillar covers, aluminium trim inserts, Nappa leather upholstery and sports pedals.

Also part of the Luxury Package is the 15-speaker Lexicon premium audio system. While it has good sound clarity, more work needs to be done to raise the bass as it’s seriously lacking. 

Elsewhere, interior ambient strip lighting, featured in all key rivals and a must have for any luxury car these days, is still missing in the G70.

Every G70 now comes with heated and ventilated front seats and an improved Qi standard wireless smartphone charger with an integrated cooling fan and increased output of 15W for quicker charge times.

Is it practical?

In terms of practicality and cabin comfort, the G70 can seat five, with plenty of room up the front but considerably tighter at the rear. Headroom is just enough for anyone under six foot, and while knee room is adequate toe room is seriously lacking.

All seats except for the raised middle rear seat offer good comfort and support, while twin cup holders are featured both in the front and rear (housed in the drop-down centre arm rest) to cater for occupants seated in those seats.

Unlike those big cupholders, the door pockets are small, and you will struggle to fit a standard water bottle in them.

Being rear-wheel drive, rear passengers will have to put up with the raised drivetrain hump which impedes on rear legroom.

Further back, the boot space of 330 litres is way down on all key rivals, not helped by the 60/40 split folding rear seats (usually 40/20/40 split for premium cars).

Luxury Package models now feature a power operated boot.

What’s under the bonnet?

Our tester is the flagship G70 3.3T Sport variant and packs a stonking twin-turbo 3.3-litre V6 producing 274kW and 510Nm. This places cars like the BMW 3 Series M340i xDrive, Mercedes-AMG C43 Sedan and Audi S4 squarely in the G70’s crosshair. 

The engine is paired with an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission which sends power to the rear wheels. 

If this drivetrain sounds familiar, that’s because it’s shared with the Kia Stinger GT. However, due to the G70’s lighter weight, the dash from standstill to 100km/h is quicker at 4.7 seconds.

How does it drive?

The twin-turbo V6 packs some serious grunt right from the start of the rev range, all while remaining beautifully refined and smooth. It’s a quiet unit, which is fine in normal driving, but in Sport modes you’ll be crying for some of those engine noise to piped into the cabin as it’s just too muted. 

The steering also feels a little numb even in Sport modes. There’s quite a lot of artificial weight without much real feedback from the road. 

These minor issues aside, the G70 3.3T can absolutely hold its own on a set of challenging back roads. The Australian-specific suspension tuning by Hyundai’s local engineers endows the G70 with highly tractable on-the-edge handling that inspires confidence. At 1765kg, It’s not a light car but it feels planted, composed and incredibly faithful to driver inputs.

The 3.3T variant is equipped with a mechanical limited slip differential (LSD) and Brembo brakes clamping ventilated discs all around. A Variable Gear Ratio steering rack makes the 3.3T model easy to manoeuvre at low speeds while maintaining stability at high speeds.

Also exclusive to the 3.3T are the adaptive dampers, which allow for comfort or sport biased adjustment. Ride quality in the softest setting is remarkably compliant, with bad surfaces rounded off nicely. In the sportiest setting, the ride is firm but not harsh. 

There is some road noise on coarser country roads, but for the most part the cabin is a serene and quiet place to be travelling in.

How safe is it?

The updated G70 introduces rear side airbags and a segment-first front centre side airbag, taking the total airbag count to 10.

An expanded Genesis Active Safety Control package now includes the following systems in addition to an already comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies:

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA – Car/Ped/Cyc) – now with Junction Turning function (FCA-JT)
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA)
  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist Rear (BCA-R)
  • Blind-Sport View Monitor (BVM)
  • Lane Following Assist (LFA)
  • Surround View Monitor (SVM)
  • Multi Collision Brake (MCB)
  • Safe Exit Warning (SEW)
  • Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)

The Genesis G70 is one of the most under appreciated models in the highly competitive mid-size luxury sedan segment. The reason? As you might have guessed, its be-winged badge.

In the premium world, brand heritage is almost more important than the car itself. It has taken Australians a few decades to come around to the idea that Korean cars are more than just cheap A to B transport with long warranties. They now compete almost on an equal footing with long established Japanese marques and is currently the top five car manufacturers in Australia.

However, are we ready to splash Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3 Series money on a young premium off-shoot from Hyundai? Only time will tell but for intrepid few who dare to venture away from the Germans, the G70 is a seriously convincing alternative.

Updated recently to bring it in line with the rest of the brand’s model line-up, the new G70 scores Genesis’ bold new face with distinctive quad lamp design first introduced on the GV80 SUV. In fact, the entire front facia is brand new, including its new signature Crest grille and restyle front bumper. It’s a similar story at the back, with new taillights, bootlid and rear bumper design. It’s a striking facelift. One that turns heads wherever you go.

Underneath however, the sports sedan remains largely unchanged except for a modest power increase on the G70 3.3T tested here.

How much is the Genesis G70?

Unlike the previous 6-tier line-up, Genesis has streamlined the updated G70 range with just one trim level per powertrain.

Kicking off the range is the $63,000 Genesis G70 2.0T, with the V6 3.3T Sport starting from $76,000 – both before on-road costs.

The 2.0T can be optioned with the $4,000 Sport Line package to match the sporty looks of the 3.3T Sport, while both the 2.0T and 3.3T Sport are available with the $10,000 Luxury Package. Matte paint is a further $2,000.

Is the Genesis G70 well equipped?

The answer is yes.

  • Heated outboard rear seats
  • 15-speaker Lexicon premium sound system

There are also new capacitive door locking and unlocking pads that are incorporated into the G70’s front door handles, replacing the conventional buttons, while Luxury Package brings a power operated boot. 

How safe is the Genesis G70?

Reassuringly, the 2022 G70 comes with a five-star crash rating from ANCAP.

It also brings additional Genesis Active Safety Control over the superseded model:

  • Forward Collision Avoidance with Junction Turning Collision Avoidance function
  • Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist
  • Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist
  • Blind-Spot View Monitor
  • Safe Exit Warning
  • Rear Occupant Alert
  • Lane Following Assist
  • Surround View Monitor
  • Reverse Light Guide
  • Driver Attention Alert (Luxury Package)

The G70 is also one of the first models to come equipped with a front-centre airbag that, when deployed, prevent the two front passengers from hitting each other in a side on collision.

Together with its unique Blind-Spot View Monitor which presents the driver with a convenient live video feed of the left or right blind-spot in the instrument cluster, the G70’s safety equipment is on-par and in some instances, better than any German rivals.

What is it like on the inside?

And while the G70’s exterior has been extensively revised; its interior has not received as much attention.

Headlining the update is a larger 10.25-inch high-resolution infotainment screen with satellite navigation, while new luxury touches include richly tactile G Matrix quilting and classy geometric patterned trim inserts. The red seat belts and stitching also add a touch of sportiness to the interior

The novel 3D effect instrument cluster might feel gimmicky to some but brings a point of difference to the car and we really liked it. Both it and the infotainment screen are almost HD-like in crispness and highly responsive to inputs.

Nevertheless, overall the interior remains good with a sound driving position with tonnes of adjustment in both the fabulously comfortable and supportive seat, and the electrically telescopic steering wheel.

Unlike some of its European rivals, the G70’s controls are logically laid with big buttons and old school dials instead of being buried within the touchscreen or frustratingly difficult to use touch-sensitive buttons. Here’s hoping common sense prevails with Genesis.

However, some material choice remains questionable. The silver window buttons, centre console switchgear and paddle shifters might look like metal at first glance but lay your fingers on them and the plasticky feel immediately betrays the initial perception.

The lack of wireless Apple CarPlay is also a big letdown when it’s standard on a $30k Hyundai i30 Sedan.

While the front seats are adequately spacious, the rear seats feels a little cramp for taller passengers, particularly headroom and footroom under the front seats. The 330L boot space is satisfactory though certainly not class-leading and well under the close to 500L of its rivals.

What’s under the bonnet?

The 2022 G70 gets carried over powertrains.

The 2.0T features a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine delivering 179kW of power and 353Nm of torque.

The 3.3T Sport is powered by a twin-turbo 3.3-litre V6 producing 274kW and 510Nm of torque, the former an increase of 2kW compared to the pre-facelift model thanks to a new variable exhaust system.

Both models are rear-wheel drive and connected to an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.

What is it like to drive?

Our test car for this review was the 3.3T Sport with Luxury Pack and with 274kW on tap, it certainly is powerful.

As befitting a premium car, the powertrain is smooth and responsive with hardly any low-down lag. Power and torque come on hard all the way through to the redline, making the G70 an effortless cruiser. Genesis could have made the 3.3-litre sound a little better, but it isn’t a deal breaker and certainly not unpleasant.

The eight-speed automatic does a respectable job of channelling power to the tarmac via the rear wheels and is decently quick when left to its own devices. Flappy pedals are available for those who wish to take a little more control but the transmission programming is clever enough in most situations to figure it out on its own.

The G70’s steering wheel is relatively sharp and direct, while its adaptive suspension is compliant in Comfort mode and perfect in ironing out road pimples but gets noticeably firmer in Sport mode for some corner carving fun in the twisties.

Speaking of which, the driver’s seat bolsters also inflate to grip you better in Sport mode.

What is the G70’s running costs?

Genesis claims the G70 3.3T uses 10.2L/100km on the combined cycle, which, for the first time ever, is matched by our real-world average of 10.2L/100km.

All Genesis models are covered by a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty with five years, or 50,000km free scheduled servicing.

Owners also benefit from the Genesis Concierge Service which picks up your vehicle from your house and leave you with a Genesis loan car if you live within 70km of a Genesis Studio.

Korean premium brand, Genesis, is definitely on the march, introducing its first-ever GV60 all-electric vehicle – ahead of Japanese rival Lexus.

Based on the same E-GMP (Electric-Global Modular Platform) found under the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, the GV60 is of course, cloaked in a more luxurious and premium outfit compared to its more affordable relations.

At the front, the GV60 sports Genesis’ easily recognisable design language, thanks to its ‘Quad Lamps’ headlights and the marque’s Crest Grille, which has been toned down for the EV.

Along the sides, the twin-stack indicators have made way for a clam-shell bonnet, while the traditional wing mirrors have been eschewed and replaced with cameras. There are also door handles that pop out as the driver approaches the vehicle.

Around the back, we can see the trademark twin stack LED taillights, along with a ducktail rear spoiler and raked rear windscreen for a coupe-like look.

Inside, the standout feature in the GV60 is no doubt the Crystal Sphere. It forms part of the vehicle’s mood lighting when the vehicle is off, but rotates into a shift-by-wire shifter when it’s on.

The interior also features a large one-piece digital screen that combines the driver’s digital cluster with a prominent touchscreen infotainment system.

Genesis hasn’t announced any technical specification at this stage, although we suspect it would not deviate too far from that of the Ioniq 5 and EV6.

What do you do when you have mastered the art of making mainstream cars? You build luxury cars. But it is not as simple as it sounds. Toyota’s premium offshoot founded in the late 80s, Lexus, took a good part of two decades to establish itself as a formidable luxury player. Nissan’s Infiniti also started around the same time as Lexus but has had tougher luck. And let’s not forget the brands that did not make it altogether – Mazda’s Efini and Ford’s Merkur.

Now, it is Hyundai’s turn. The brand has been consistently one of the top 5 sellers in Australia, and after hinting their luxury intentions with the Hyundai-badged Genesis luxury sedan in 2015, the company is now going all in.

Once a name of a Hyundai model is now turned into a full-fledged, standalone luxury brand. Hyundai wants you to see Genesis as a true alternative to the dominant German trio of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. It now joins the ‘challenger’ camp consisting of existing players Lexus, Jaguar and Volvo.

Will it succeed? Only time will tell. But one particular model in the brand’s fast expanding line-up is already looking like it has got all the right ingredients for success – the GV80 large SUV.

Available as a five- or seven-seater, with rear or all-wheel drive, the GV80 competes against luxury heavy weights such as the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Audi Q7, Volvo XC90 and Lexus RX.

With Australian pricing ranging from $90,600 to $103,600 plus on-road costs, the GV80 is priced to undercut its European rivals, giving the newcomer a good head start. The appeal is lifted with a comprehensive list of equipment included as standard, along with the segment’s longest warranty at 5 years.

Exterior

If you think the GV80 has a whiff of Bentley in its design, you are not wrong. From the brand emblem and prominent “G-matrix” grille at the front, to the imposing side profiles and chrome detailing all around, there is more than a hint of Bentley Bentayga in its proportions and detailing.

But we are not surprised with the Bentley connection because Genesis’ current design chief Luc Donckerwolke was formerly the head of Bentley design.

Nevertheless, the GV80 is a handsomely styled SUV, and certainly better looking than the Bentayga. It features the Genesis ‘look’ – two lines of the quad lamps circumventing all sides of the car, with the indicator light bar neatly integrated within, and the ‘Crest Grille’ which is bold and big, giving it unmistakable road presence.

Down the side, the long sweeping parabolic line flows uninterrupted from front to rear, descending gently downwards as it nears the back of the car, where it is counterbalanced with a small lid in the tailgate. The Genesis word is proudly spelled out across the rear fascia, with the number plate neatly integrated into the rear bumper.

While being new on Australian roads might have been a factor, the GV80 never failed to turn heads whenever it went during the one week I had possession of it. And so, for sheer visual statement, the GV80 is hard to beat.

Interior

For me, the biggest wow factor is the interior. It has an even more luxurious and enticing aura than the finest cabin in the segment. In fact, it looks and feels like it belongs to a car that is twice the price. The materials – such as the open-pore birch-wood veneer and glass-topped rotary gear selector – are first rate, the fit and finish is flawless, and the vibe is ultra-plush, super-expensive. There is not a hint of its association with parent company Hyundai, though the organic lines on the door cards do remind us of those in the Lexus LC.

There is no shortage of technology, too. The 14.5-inch central infotainment display is the widest screen we have seen on any car. It can be operated by touch or through the remote controls in the centre console. While the screen itself has superb clarity and is very responsive to the touch, the remote control can do with a lot more improvement. Because the control combines a rotary dial, arrow buttons and a round touchpad all into one, it is confusing to use. It is like combining the BMW iDrive, Audi MMI and Lexus Remote Touch into one messy system.

Granted, the menu is structured for easy navigation, though some on-screen buttons are a bit small, and there is a lack of address suggestion for the sat-nav, requiring you to key in the full address.

Elsewhere, the 12.0-inch Head-Up Display is massive but I wish there was an option to hide the lane trace assist indication to minimise clutter.

The standard instrumentation cluster combines a conventional analogue gauge with a LCD display, with the optional Luxury Package offering a super cool 12.3-inch 3D instrument cluster that gives a sense of depth to the virtual gauges.

Other convenience and luxury features standard in GV80 include wireless (Qi standard) smartphone charging, 12-way power-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, a panorama sunroof, DAB+ digital radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and a 21-speaker Lexicon surround sound system.

Cabin space is comparable to other full-size luxury SUVs in class, with both the first and second rows offering generous room. The third row has decent legroom but is tight in headroom, making them more suited to children than adults. Accessing the third row is as simple as pressing a button to slide the second row forward.

Further back, there is plenty of space for luggage. Cargo capacity is rated at 727L with the third row stowed away, expandable to a cavernous 2,144 with the second row folded.

Performance

In Australia, the Genesis GV80 is offered with a choice of two petrol and one diesel powertrains. Petrol-powered models consist of the 224kW/422Nm 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder range-opener and the 279kW/530Nm 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 flagship. The former is rear-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available as an option, while the latter is all-wheel drive only.

The oil burner slots in the middle of the range and is propelled by a 204kW/588Nm 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder turbo-diesel driving all four wheels.

On test were both the rear-wheel drive 2.5T and all-wheel drive 3.0D. For most drivers, the 2.5T offers more than enough performance for its use as a family SUV. With a rated 0 to 100km/h sprint time of just 6.9 seconds, it is no slouch. Power delivery is linear for the most part, with a strong mid range thanks to peak torque arriving at a low 1650rpm and hangs on until 4000rpm.

The engine is whisper quiet and silky smooth, too. Paired with an equally refined eight-speed automatic transmission, the drive is luxurious and relaxing.

With slightly less power but more torque, the 3.0D offers similar levels of performance to the 2.5T but with better fuel economy – 8.8L/100km in the diesel against 9.8L/100km in the petrol. It is a low revving diesel, with peak power arriving at just 3800rpm and peak torque spread from 1500-3000rpm. Its effortless demeanor sees it nudging 100km/h from rest in just 6.8 seconds. Of course, being a diesel, the throttle response is not as alive as the petrol around urban settings, but for crunching the miles in the open road the 3.0D is the pick.

It also impresses in refinement, with virtually not a hint of clatter from inside the cabin. The diesel is matched with the same buttery smooth eight-speed automatic as the 2.5T but gets an electronically controlled limited slip differential in the rear axle.

Like the powertrains, which have been tuned more towards refinement than sportiness, the handling has also taken the same approach. The GV80 feels more luxurious than sport to drive.

It reminds me of luxury SUVs in the early days, crossovers that were supremely plush and comfortable before drivers started buying them to replace their sport sedans and makers were forced to dial up the sportiness in them.

The GV80’s soft suspension and big wheels soak up bumps and ruts with aplomb, delivering impressive compliance across all kinds of surfaces. It is very quiet on the inside, too, with hardly any road or wind noise.

The soft setup does mean the GV80 is not as taut around the bends as some sportier European rivals. That is not to say it is cumbersome. In fact, it is still very manageable and does not quite feel its size. Grip is excellent, the brakes are strong, and the steering is precise. The GV80 does a fine job in balancing handling and ride comfort.

Ownership

As a newcomer, Genesis needs more than good products to penetrate a market. And that is where the “Genesis Difference” comes in.

All Genesis models come with free scheduled servicing for the first 5 years or 50,000km (70,000km for diesel), and the segment’s longest warranty period at 5 years and unlimited kilometres.

On top of that, the Genesis Concierge Service will arrange for the pickup and delivery of your GV80 when it is due for scheduled maintenance or warranty services. While your car is serviced, a Genesis courtesy vehicle is left at your disposal.

For extra peace of mind, you are also seamlessly enrolled in a complimentary 5-Year 24/7 Roadside Assistance program once you take delivery of your Genesis.

Overall

As a full-size luxury SUV, the Genesis GV80 delivers in all aspects. It looks unquestionably high-end inside and out, backed by a rich and luxurious driving experience. To me, the GV80 is no doubt a genuine rival to offerings from more established marques.

But it remains a left-field option, and for many that might be the one thing that needs the most persuasion. Perhaps, its strong value proposition and leading aftersales services and benefits are strong enough encouragement for buyers to take the plunge.

Imagine trying to land your first job fresh out of university. You are one of hundreds applying for a handful of graduate positions and the competition is stiff. With no prior work experience, your CV is your only credential.

Genesis, Hyundai’s luxury upstart, faces a similar challenge. Established in 2015, the brand started off with the mid-size Hyundai Genesis sedan here in Australia before dropping the Hyundai connection a couple of years later to be known simply as the Genesis G80.

Then last year, Genesis officially became a standalone brand with its own ‘studio’, aka showroom, and a second model, the highly likeable G70 small sedan.

While it may lack the heritage and prestige of more established rivals, Hyundai has spent the last decade or so transforming its reputation from paddlers of cheap cars that people just settle for, to purveyors of stylish, desirable and quality vehicles.

Hyundai is consistently in the top five brands in Australia, with the i30 sitting in podium position for much of the last two years.

Now that it’s being taken seriously in the mainstream, the brand is taking the next step to establishing itself in the premium segment, much like what Toyota did 30 years ago with its now successful Lexus brand.

The first generation Genesis G80 was a good effort with decent dynamics, up-to-date technologies and luxurious finish, but the second-generation is a genuine threat to the established marques like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, with a driving and ownership experience that put some of them to shame.

However, in our SUV mad market, luxury sedans just don’t appear on buyers’ radar as much as a high-riding equivalent does. Meet the GV80, the G80’s lofty SUV cousin and genuine litmus test for the fledgling Korean premium brand.

Available as a five- or seven-seater, with rear or all-wheel drive, Genesis can now finally take the fight to luxury heavy weights such as the BMW X5, Audi Q7, Volvo XC90 and Lexus RX.

Prices kick off from $90,600 plus on-road costs for the 2.5T powered by a 224kW/422Nm 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol driving the rear wheels. All-wheel drive and a third-row of seats add $5,000 to the price tag.

Standard equipment is plentiful, with LED headlamps, 20-inch alloy wheels panoramic sunroof, a cinematic 14.5-inch infotainment screen, thumping 21-speaker Lexicon sound system with Apple Car Play and Android Auto, head-up display, heated and electrically operated front seats and dual zone climate control all included.

Other luxury features include the easy access function where the driver’s seat and steering column move out of the way to allow easier entry and exit without rubbing your knees on the steering column.

Genesis is even throwing in the first five services up to 50,000km for free, which are potentially worth a pretty penny as a further enticement.

Sitting in the middle of the three-tier line-up is the 3.0D, which is expected to be the main seller. Priced from $103,600, it comes with a 204kW/588Nm 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder turbo-diesel driving all four wheels.

Topping out the range is the $108,600 3.5T powerhouse as tested in this review. It is powered by a brand new 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 pumping out 279kW and 530Nm of torque sent to all four wheels.

All variants are connected to an in-house developed eight-speed automatic transmission.

While not equipped to our test vehicle, a $10,000 Luxury Pack brings electric folding second and third-row seats, quilted Nappa leather, rear climate control, heated steering wheels, soft-close doors, massaging driver’s seat, active noise cancellation and a 3D digital instrument cluster.

The GV80 also comes with a long list of safety equipment. All models are equipped with:

  • Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with car/pedestrian/cyclist detection, junction turning function, lane-change oncoming/side function, evasive steering assist function
  • Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist
  • Blind-Spot View Monitor (a cool feature that swaps the tachometer with a camera view of the turning side of the vehicle)
  • Driver Attention warning
  • High Beam Assist
  • Lane Keeping Assist
  • Lane Following Assist
  • Pre-active front seat belts
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist
  • Rear Occupant Alert
  • Safe Exit Assist
  • Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and machine learning function
  • Surround view monitor
  • Centre airbags that prevent front passengers from hitting each other

The most common comment from others when you’re driving the GV80 is “it looks like a Bentley”.

We can’t agree more. From the dominant “G-matrix” grille and twin-stack headlights at the front, to the chunky side profiles and D-pillars, there is more than a whiff of Bentley Bentayga in its proportions and detailing.

There is strong family resemblance to the G80 sedan, too, with its elegantly long and shapely bonnet, and short overhangs. Matched with huge 22-inch alloy wheels on the 3.5T (and 3.0D), the GV80 certainly stands out on the road.

Fit and finish are excellent, with all panels consistently lined and gaps kept to a minimum. It’s even better inside.

The GV80 isn’t just festooned with acres of leather and wood paneling, its wrapped around interior is rich in detail and uses horizontal lines to emphasise its width. The slim line air-con vents are seamlessly integrated between the top and bottom layers of the dash, while the old school, two-spoke steering wheels feels great in the palm of your hands.

The high-quality switchgear in the GV80 is unique to Genesis as opposed to being pilfered from the Hyundai parts bin. The various knobs with knurled finish remind us of those found in Audi’s, while the rotary shifter is made of real metal and glass with embedded LED light that changes as you select reverse.

A huge 14.5-inch high definition widescreen colour touch display with supporting console dial sits at the top of the dash, while a 6.0-inch touchscreen with haptic feedback sits further down to take care of climate control functions.

The centre console-mounted control dial acts much like an old iPod thumbwheel that allows you to scroll through songs, contacts and radio much easier while on the move. We also applaud Genesis for maintaining physical controls for the volume and various menu shortcuts.

If there’s one area that the GV80 is related to a Hyundai, it’s the infotainment system, but that’s a good thing. It might appear a little fancier with a defused nightscape of Seoul in the background, but it’s essentially the same system you might find on the high-spec Palisade with layout and functionality that is a lesson in simplicity and user-friendliness.

However, unlike the latest BMWs and Mercedes-Benz’s, there is no fancy voice-controlled ‘personal assistance’ in the Genesis. You could still use Siri once your phone is connected to Apple CarPlay but that’s about it.

The GV80 is a tad longer than the BMW X5 and Volvo XC90 but sits lower. Room is aplenty both in front and in the 2nd-row, and the seats are well contoured and comfortable, with electric adjustment at the front and memory for the driver.

Further aback, the third-row of seats come with decent legroom and are easily accessible by sliding the second-row forward although headroom back there is at a premium.

While we don’t have the cargo capacity figures when all three rows of seats are in play, cargo capacity is rated at 727L with the 3rd row stowed away and balloons to a cavernous 2,144 with the 2nd row folded.

However, it’s worth noting that there is no spare wheel in the AWD models. A tyre puncture repair kit is your only rescue should you get a leak.

Performance wise, our 3.5T is probably the variant you should aim for if you like driving. Besides an abundance of power (279kW/530Nm) from its muscular 3.5-litre twin-turbo petrol V6, it is also equipped with high-tech adaptive dampers that adjust their firmness based on information from a front-mounted camera.

The camera scans the road ahead and primes the dampers to tackle road imperfections, much like the one in the Mercedes S-Class. On our pock marked roads, it works relatively well, delivering a plush ride that fits the luxurious image of the SUV. Flick it into Sport mode and the suspension tightens up as expected for better body control around the bends.

Genesis’ engineers have also given the GV80 an Australian flavour through “one of the most comprehensive ride and handling programmes we’ve put cars through”, with particular attention to the dampers.

It’s by no means a hot hatch but you never feel as though it’s a bout to tip over. There’s a level of agility to its handling that belies its size, thanks to its precise steering, which is pleasantly weighted and isn’t over-loaded in Sport mode. However, on-centre feel is a little lacking.

Overall, the GV80 has a distinctly sporty feel to it but not at the expense of refinement or ride comfort. It doesn’t resort to a dizzying array of chassis configuration to achieve this, either, beyond the Sport mode’s more aggressive tip-in and the transmission’s preference for higher revs.

There are no squeaks or rattles in the car, a testament to Hyundai’s built quality and the rigidity of the GV80’s structure.

However, you do pay the price at the bowser, with the 3.5T returning a V8-like 14.7L/100km over our 500km mixed test, thanks to the absence of stop/start. It also requires 95RON premium juice.

The new Genesis GV80 is what a luxury SUV should be – looks a million, tech-laden, comfortable and luxurious. It may lack the coveted brand heritage but for those willing to look past its badge, it is a genuine rival to the more established marques.

If your budget allows, the 3.5T offers excellent bang-for-your-buck, with a great blend of performance, luxury and comfort.

Genesis has dropped the cover off a stunning new flagship coupe that will potentially rival the likes of Mercedes-Benz S Class coupe, BMW 8 Series and Lexus LC.

Unveiled in the form of an EV-based high-performance Gran Tourer, the Genesis X Concept – as its name suggests – is just a concept for now, but the level of detail suggests a production model may not be too far away. Showcasing all the hallmarks of Genesis design, the X Concept boasts the brand’s signature Two Lines theme, which is evident on the car’s headlight and taillight design.

The front of the Genesis X features a low yet broad silhouette, while the rear presents a sleek and wide image emphasised by those powerful rear haunches. Draped in distinctive Lençóis Blue hue, the Genesis X Concept is simply a thing to behold, seamlessly fusing elegance, simplicity and sophistication.

The sensuous styling carries through to the Genesis X Concept’s interior, which features a driver-oriented design with a cockpit that surrounds the driver with all operating systems and displays. Differentiation of space by colouring the driver’s seat scotch brown and the passenger seat an ocean wave green blue helps emphasise the concept car’s unique design.

Technical specification of the Genesis X Concept’s full electric powertrain remains scarce, though Genesis is keen to maintain driving excitement and performance while delivering zero emissions. If green lighted for production, expect the X Concept to afford at least 600km of full electric range, while offering a 0-100km/h sprint time of under 5 seconds.

Hyundai’s luxury aspiration started with the Genesis mid-size sedan. Launched in Australia in 2015, it was introduced as part of Hyundai’s passenger car line-up, and was called the Hyundai Genesis, even though there wasn’t a single Hyundai badge in the vehicle.

Luxuriously appointed, the Genesis was sized, equipped and marketed as a more affordable rival to the likes of BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6 and Lexus GS. While it didn’t quite resonated with private buyers, it was popular amongst fleet operators which used it as premium taxis and luxury airport transfer vehicles.

We drove it and was impressed with its quality and luxury driving feel but felt it could be less generic and more contemporary. Nevertheless, it was a commendable first attempt by Hyundai at the luxury space.

Now, there is an all-new 2021 model and it bears no resemblance of its forebear other than the winged-Genesis badge. It doesn’t even have Hyundai in its name, with it crafting its own Genesis brand identity and called simply as the G80.

The Genesis G80 will continue to rival the best from Europe and Japan, with pricing once again undercutting most key rivals, but not by much this time. Base price starts from $84,900 plus on-road costs for the G80 2.5T, while the upper-spec G80 3.5T wears a sticker of $99,900 plus ORCs. The prices are still about $10,000 less than equivalent models from the European establishment.

Without further ado, let’s see how the Genesis G80 fare.

How does it look?

The G80 certainly looks very good, in a very authentic way. While the previous model carried hints of Audi and BMW in its styling cues, this new one looks not at all Germanic and is very original in its design execution. That’s a good thing because to play in the premium segment, Genesis needs to have its own unique identity.

Distinctively Genesis are the two lines of the quad lamps circumventing all sides of the car, with the indicator light bar neatly integrated within. The ‘Crest Grille’ is bold and big but appropriately so as it only serves to reinforce its visual statement, giving it unmistakable road presence. Down the side, the long sweeping parabolic line flows uninterrupted from front to rear, flowing gently downwards as it nears the tail, where it’s counterbalanced with an upswept chrome line at the edge of the boot lid.

The overall look is one that is majestic, luxurious and refined, though we are not fans of the multi-spoke 19-inch wheels on our G80 2.5T model. The 20-inch five-spoke sport wheels on the G80 3.5T are much easier on the eyes.

How is the interior?

The cabin is no doubt the highlight of the whole package, as it looks and feels like it belongs to a car that is twice the price. The materials are first rate, the execution is flawless, and the vibe is ultra-premium, super-exquisite. There’s not a hint of its association with parent company Hyundai, though the organic lines on the door cards do remind us of those in the Lexus LC.

This interior is easily one of the best we have seen in this class, and that includes the Mercedes E-Class.

Perched atop the expansive dashboard is a 14.5-inch widescreen infotainment display, which can be operated by touch or through the remote controls in the centre console. While the screen itself has superb clarity and is very responsive to the touch, we find the remote control not the most intuitive to use. The control combines a rotary dial, arrow buttons and a round touchpad all into one, which can lead to a confusing user experience. It’s like combining the BMW iDrive, Audi MMI and Lexus Remote Touch into one messy system.

Granted, the menu structure is easy to navigate around, with the exception for address input, where there is a lack of address suggestion, requiring you to key in the full address.

Elsewhere, the 12.0-inch Head-Up Display is massive but for those who prefer less clutter, there’s no option to hide the lane trace assist indication. The standard instrumentation cluster combines a conventional analogue gauge with a LCD display, with the optional Luxury Package offering a super cool 12.3-inch 3D instrument cluster that gives a sense of depth to the virtual gauges.

Other convenience and luxury features standard in G80 include wireless (Qi standard) smartphone charging, 12-way power-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, a panorama sunroof, DAB+ digital radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and a 21-speaker Lexicon surround sound system, the later which lacks bass for what is supposed to be a premium system.

The interior comes with the choice of five upholstery colour combinations, paired with two open-pore real wood trims. Each upholstery combination is in a contemporary two-tone, except for the classic Obsidian Black single-tone treatment.

Is it practical?

The G80 is a medium size sedan that sits five. There is ample room for all passengers, with legroom especially generous in the back to cater for owners who are primarily chauffeured around. That said, the middle rear seat is raised fairly high, limiting comfort for anyone seated there.

All seats apart from the middle rear are some of the plushest in the business, with electric adjustment, heating and cooling fitted as standard to the front seats. Opting for the Luxury Pack option will see the addition of rear climate control and rear outboard seats heated and cooled, as well.

There’s no shortage of storage compartments around the cabin, with a good size glove box and centre storage. The door pockets are on the smaller side, though.

Further back, the boot offers 424 litres of capacity, which is nearly 100 litres down on key rivals. There’s no ability to expand the space further like its competitors either, as the rear seats don’t fold down.

What are the specs?

The G80 is offered with a choice of two petrol powertrains, both paired with an in-house developed 8-speed automatic transmission.

The G80 2.5T tested here utilises a 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine developing 224kW @ 5800rpm and 421Nm @ 1650-4000rpm, all of which channelled to the rear wheels. The dash from zero to 100km/h is a claimed 6 seconds, a respectable time for a big sedan.

But for those who want more punch, there’s the G80 3.5T which is motivated by a 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 pumping out 279kW @ 5800rpm and 530Nm @ 1300-4500rpm. Offered as standard in all-wheel drive form, the flagship model charges from rest to 100km/h in just 5.1 seconds (claimed).

In terms of safety, both G80 variants take no compromises, featuring as standard the full suite of advanced safety tech including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, Auto High Beam and Surround View Monitor. There are also a total of 11 airbags, including front centre and driver knee airbags.

How does it drive?

Most luxury cars these days, especially those from Europe, are increasingly chasing sporty handling more than comfort. Genesis seems to have taken an opposite approach with the G80, in the sense that it feels more luxurious than sport.

This distinctive, rather old school driving feel reminded us of what luxury sedans used to be – plush and supremely comfortable transportation. The G80’s soft suspension and big wheels soak up bumps and ruts with aplomb, delivering a super smooth ride that is a rarity these days. It’s very quiet on the inside, too, with hardly any road or wind noise.

With such compliance and comfort, it does mean the G80 isn’t as taut around the bends as sportier key rivals. That’s not to say it’s cumbersome or floaty, far from that in fact. It’s still very manageable and it doesn’t quite feel its size. With a precise and nicely weighted steering, this is a very easy and relaxing car to drive.

The silky smooth 2.5-litre engine in our G80 test car is more than adequate for the daily grind. Power delivery is linear for the most part, with a strong mid range offering tenacious acceleration. Granted, there’s not much of a soundtrack but the G80 wasn’t intended to be a sports sedan from the outset.

Like the engine, the 8-speed auto is tuned more for refinement and smoothness than for dishing out quick, snappy shifts. Left to its own devices, it picks the right gear most of the time.

While fuel consumption is far from thirsty, it isn’t what we would consider efficient. In urban areas fuel use hovers around at a high 12L/100km, dropping to around 7L/100km in the country. At the end of our week-long road test covering over 500km of mix roads, the trip computer averaged 9.3L/100km, against a rated 8.6L/100km. The rated figure is about 2L/100km higher than the more efficient German rivals.

Overall

The new Genesis G80 is a big step up from its predecessor, boasting a significantly more upscale design inside and out, matched with a superbly luxurious driving experience.

Against the wider competition, the G80 stands out with one of the best interiors in class. But more than that, its value proposition is hard to ignore. Not only does its price undercut all key rivals, it also comes with a longer list of standard equipment, free scheduled servicing for the first 5 years or 50,000km, and the segment’s longest warranty period at 5 years and unlimited kilometres.

If you dare to be a bit different, the Genesis G80 is definitely worth a look.
