Talking Cars #303: Driving the 2021 Genesis GV80
Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with advertisers on this site.
Main theme: We discuss our final test results of the 2021 Genesis GV80. A highly anticipated SUV entry from Genesis with an upscale feel, does it go toe-to-toe with popular competitors like the Audi Q7 and BMW X5? And are the driving dynamics satisfying enough to outweigh some rather confusing controls?
We also talk about our insights regarding driving comfort, including our personal pet peeves, what we look for to help alleviate them, and how to achieve the highest levels of comfort for yourself.
