2021 Genesis GV80 Release Date
Back in November 2019, reports indicated that the Genesis GV80 SUV could release in the first quarter of 2020 at the earliest. Thanks to a recent update on the Genesis website, we now know that the 2021 Genesis GV80 will be available Fall 2020. The 2021 Genesis GV80 is on sale now in Colorado Springs. In related news, a Genesis GV70 crossover (built off the Genesis
G70) is supposedly in the works as well slated to debut in 2021.

2021 Genesis GV80 Price
Because details were scarce on the 2021 Genesis GV80, we didn't have exact pricing at first. Now, we are able to confirm a starting price of $48,900 for the all-new Genesis SUV and top out around $70,950 for the highest trim level.
2021 Genesis GV80 Trims & Configurations
There was not a lot of credible information regarding the
available trims and configurations of the 2021 Genesis GV80 originally, but now we have a better idea. Currently, Genesis GV80 builds are showing three base trim levels (2.5T I4 RWD, 2.5T I4 AWD, 3.5T V6 AWD) with around ten total drivetrain/package configurations. The 2.5T comes in RWD or AWD with an Advanced or Prestige package. The 3.5T is only AWD and offers the same Advanced and Prestige packages, but features an additional Advanced+ package not offered on the lower trims. We do know that
whatever trim levels are expected, they will all contain high-class luxury
features. There might eventually be a coupe model and performance-based trim,
but we have to wait for more details on this Genesis crossover.

2021 Genesis GV80 Performance & Reliability
The 2021 Genesis GV80 comes with the same underpinnings as
the new
Genesis G80 sedan. It's available in both rear- or all-wheel drive. We
expect the engine lineup to look similar to the G80, which would include a 3.8-liter
V6 as well as the twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6. We might even get the 5.0-liter V8
option for the Genesis SUV GV80.
2021 Genesis GV80 MPG
The fuel economy numbers haven't been released for the new
Genesis GV80 yet. We expect more information to come soon regarding GV80 mpg
and fuel efficiency.
2021 Genesis GV80 Interior
Spy photos haven't shown too much about what to expect, but we have seen the concept outfitted with leather seats, a curved 22-inch infotainment display, ash wood trim, and touch-captive controls. The idea for the 2021 Genesis GV80 also highlighted the four-seat design, but we expect that to change to five seats for production. You can expect a long list of driver-assist features, including pedestrian detection, automated emergency braking, plus adaptive cruise control. There is even talk of a semi-autonomous driving mode on this Hyundai Genesis SUV.

2021 Genesis GV80: Possible Hybrid Variant?
There is the talk of a 2021 Genesis GV80 Hybrid model, but we don't have any information on it yet. We would
also like to see a standard gas-powered GV80 as well as an all-electric GV80 to
fit perfectly with the future of the automobile industry. Current GV80 information
is reflecting a hydrogen fuel cell powertrain. Unfortunately, most fuel cell
cars in the US are only sold in CA. Hopefully, more data will be available
before the release of the standard GV80.
2021 Genesis GV80 Towing Capacity
There are no numbers regarding the 2021 Genesis GV80 towing
capacity yet, but we can get a good idea of what to expect by looking at the
competition. With the BMW X5 towing up to 6,603 pounds and the Mercedes-Benz
GLE towing 7,200 pounds, we have to assume that the Genesis will fall in line
with these numbers as well.
2021 Genesis GV80 Exterior Design
The complete dimensions for the 2021 Genesis GV80 aren't out
yet, but we do know that it will have an athletic appearance with a sleek,
muscular style. This refined SUV is finely balanced and contains signature
architecture.
2021 Genesis GV80 Reviews
Several publications have been watching for spy
shots of the 2021 Genesis GV80, and there has been a lot to say. MotorAuthority highlights the "sharp design," while CarBuzz
referenced the "stunning looks."
