Power and Control with a Purpose
Under the hood, the 2025 Genesis GV80 delivers a confident 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque from its 2.5L turbocharged engine. This power is channeled through an 8-speed automatic transmission and supported by a multi-link suspension system, giving drivers a smooth yet responsive ride. Monobloc 4-piston front brake calipers add a layer of control you can feel while navigating city traffic or cruising down open highways.
The Audi Q7 offers 261 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque from its 2.0L engine, paired with quattro® all-wheel drive. While this setup provides solid traction and respectable efficiency, it doesn't quite match the GV80's balance of strength and refinement. For drivers who want commanding performance without sacrificing composure, the GV80 offers a more engaging experience.
Smart Tech That Makes a Difference
Technology in the Genesis GV80 isn't just about screens; it's about simplifying and enhancing your daily drive. At the heart of the cabin is a stunning 27-inch OLED display that combines the instrument cluster and navigation system. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, alongside features like Genesis Connected Services, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and fingerprint authentication for added security and personalization.
The Audi Q7 features its own set of tech, including Audi's virtual cockpit and smartphone interface, but many of its connected services and navigation tools rely on limited-time subscriptions. In contrast, the GV80 integrates its systems more intuitively and offers convenient tools like a wireless phone charger, smart liftgate, and the Mood Curator — all designed to enhance how you feel behind the wheel.
Luxury Where It Counts
Inside the Genesis GV80, comfort comes standard. Heated front seats, leatherette surfaces, ambient lighting, and a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel create an inviting atmosphere. The integrated memory system and Smart Posture Care help personalize the driver's position for optimal support. Even second-row passengers benefit from thoughtful amenities like USB-C charging and power outlets.
The Audi Q7 adds its own upscale touches, including wood inlays and leather seating, and adds practicality with a power-folding third row. Still, the GV80's design feels more tailored with intuitive details, a simplified layout, and a premium ambiance that stands out whether you're driving solo or carrying passengers.
