The 2023 Genesis GV80 has a remarkable design that justifies its MSRP price. The 2023 Genesis interior design offers a feeling of simplicity that seems very exquisite in person despite the pricey materials. The inside of the car is sleek and simple, with lines that have a function running from the dashboard to the back doors. The cabin is decked with burled-wood trim, metal highlights, and integrated ambient lighting. Along with that, the GV80's cabin does a great job of reducing wind and road noise, creating a quiet and peaceful environment. The front seats are made from leather upholstery that looks sturdy yet comfy and includes a massaging feature that is genuinely soothing.
Genesis GV80 offers respectable performance and decent handling, the same cannot be said concerning the ride quality or comfort of the car. It manages to combine an elegant and comfortable primary ride, however, the rear passengers might experience travel sickness when it comes to a loud and unpleasant secondary ride. Along with that, the potholes and road surface noise are too harshly conveyed in the cabin. The new Genesis is equipped with a ride preview feature that employs a camera to analyze the road ahead and adjust the suspension in advance, but this feature is insufficient to lessen the impact of the 22 inch alloy wheels.
GV80 comes with an overall seating capacity of 5 passengers and it offers adequate headroom and legroom up front for taller passengers, also the front seats are soft and quite supportive. Similar comfort can be found in the second row, which has room for three children or two adults to fit comfortably. Adults, however, cannot sit comfortably on the available third row because of its confined space, however, it can be reserved for kids. It also offers a tri-zone climate control that meets and maintains the idle temperature with the use of simple controls and shortcuts available.
