About the 2022 Genesis GV80

The 2022 Genesis GV80 is a suv that earns a Carivo score of 8.0/10 — rated Recommended. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 8.6/10. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.

Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. The reliability picture is solid rather than spectacular: 8.2/10, which puts it comfortably above the class median. On safety, it scores 8.6/10 in our assessment. Always confirm the official crash-test results for your exact trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.

With 7.6/10 for performance, this is a car tuned for daily driving rather than excitement — perfectly capable on the commute, unremarkable on a back road. On technology it rates 8.2/10: a modern, well-integrated suite that compares favorably with anything at this price point.

Priced from $53,439–$66,496, 21 MPG, seating 7, the Genesis GV80 sits in the premium tier of the suv category. At 7.6/10 for value, it delivers fair pricing for what's on offer, though the best alternatives in this price range score slightly higher. At 4 years old, it's worth checking whether a newer generation or refresh has addressed any weaker dimensions — compare it to the current model year before buying.

Verdict: Nothing about the 2022 Genesis GV80 will scare a sensible buyer off. It scores consistently across the board, and it does what a good suv should — quietly and competently.
