It didn’t take long for Genesis to release
pricing for their highly-anticipated entry in the lucrative world of premium
SUVs. Cutting to the chase, the all-new GV80 will arrive at Genesis’ U.S.
dealerships this summer with a starting MSRP of US$ 48,900, excluding freight
charges of US$ 1,205 that increase the total (before taxes) to US$ 50,105.
That’s for the base version with a
2.5-liter turbocharged four producing around 300 horsepower (final figures for
the U.S. model have yet to be confirmed) sending power exclusively to the rear
wheels through the standard across the range, 8-speed automatic. If you want
all-wheel drive, that’ll cost you US$ 5,750 extra. There are three trim levels
named ‘Standard’, ‘Advanced’ and ‘Prestige’ for the four-cylinder models.
There’s a decent amount of standard kit
even on the entry level GV80, including self-leveling suspension, 19″ wheels,
LED lights, touch climate control, a 14.5 inch screen for the infotainment
system, 10 airbags, Blind Spot Collision avoidance, and more – though no
digital instrument cluster which is only offered on the V6 models.
Moving up to the Advanced trim gets you a
few more goodies such as panoramic roof, digital key (NFC) and a Lexicon
Premium audio with 21-speakers, while the top end Prestige adds things like
20-inch wheels, remote smart parking assist, 3-zone climate and others. The
most powerful offering in the American GV80 range is the 3.5-liter twin-turbo
V6 that delivers 375 horses and is available exclusively with all-wheel drive
and an 8-speed automatic. Here, there are four available trims.
In addition to what you get on the
four-cylinder model, the Standard adds bigger 20-inch wheels and an
electronically-controlled suspension with road preview, while the Advanced adds
a leather interior, surround view monitor and more. The Advanced+ gives you 3rd
row seats with power folding. As for the top-of-the-line Prestige, you get
22-inch wheels, electronic LSD, road active noise cancellation, Nappa leather
interior and 12.3 inch digital cluster, among others.
