We haven’t had the chance to put the V-6 version through our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test, but the GV80 with the turbocharged four-cylinder delivered exactly on its promise of 25 mpg highway.

The EPA estimates that GV80 models with the four-cylinder engine should deliver 21 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway going with the V-6 reduces those to 18 mpg and 23 mpg respectively.

2022 Genesis GV80 Adds Four-Seat Ultra-Luxury Trim.After driving both versions of the GV80, we can say that the new SUV feels athletic in corners and delivers a quiet ride, but buyers seeking more thrills could consider a Cayenne or an SQ8.

With the turbo four, the GV80 delivered a slower 6.1-second 60-mph time, but many drivers won't miss the extra power. The engine choices start with a 300-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and escalate to a 375-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6, the latter of which delivered a brisk 5.3-second 60-mph time at our test track. This mid-size luxury crossover has the same underpinnings as the G80 sedan and is available with rear- or all-wheel drive. Likewise, we'd opt for the Prestige trim that has 22-inch wheels, a large digital gauge cluster, nappa leather upholstery, and adjustable rear seats with heated and cooled cushions.

Still, we crave the extra power provided by the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 that costs about $10,000 more than the standard four-cylinder, but we think it's worth the money because it comes standard with all-wheel drive and helps make acceleration effortless. Since all GV80s come with a plethora of features that include a 14.5-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, and a power liftgate, even the entry-level models are suitably luxurious.
