After exclusively driving EVs for the past three months, I’ve finally switched back to an all-gas powered car for a week. The Genesis GV80 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV with extravagant features I haven’t come across in most of the EVs I’ve tested, including the Genesis GV60 and Cadillac Lyriq.
With a starting price of $57,700 for the base 2.5T Standard AWD trim, it’s definitely on the pricier side — but the one I actually drove for a week, the 2025 Genesis GV80 3.5T AWD Prestige, balloons up to a starting cost of $79,300. It’s grossly overpriced, but with most luxury cars, there are reasons that justify their cost.
