What is the Genesis GV80?

The GV80 is a luxury SUV and Genesis’s first sport-utility vehicle. It brought the brand’s premium design into a taller, more versatile shape, with room for everyday journeys and longer trips. Its large Crest Grille and paired Two-Line lights established a distinctive look that has since become familiar across the Genesis range.

Generations and engines

The first-generation GV80, known by the JX1 code, began in 2021. UK figures run through 2026, US figures through 2027, and Canadian figures through 2026. The EU registration figures include the model in 2020.

Engine choices vary by market. In the UK, the range spans 2.5 to 3.0 litres, with petrol and diesel versions producing 204 kW (277 PS) to 304 kW (413 PS). US figures cover 2.5- to 3.5-litre petrol and hybrid versions. Canada lists 2.5- to 3.5-litre petrol engines. The EU registration figures identify a 2.5-litre petrol version rated at 224 kW (305 PS).

How economical is the Genesis GV80?

Official consumption figures depend on the market and test procedure. The lowest UK figure is 8.5 L/100 km on WLTP. The US EPA figure is 10.2 L/100 km, with a best combined rating of 23 MPG. Canada’s lowest figure is 10.5 L/100 km on the NRCan 5-cycle test. WLTP and NEDC procedures are used in Europe, EPA in the USA, and the 5-cycle test in Canada, so the results are not directly equivalent.
