2024 Genesis GV80 worth and specs

The flagship Genesis GV80 SUV now has an entry price beyond $100,000.

The South Korean luxury carmaker has axed the GV80 variants with the 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine locally. A Genesis Australia spokesperson said rear- and all-wheel drive variants with this engine accounted for 25 per cent of GV80 sales.

The Genesis GV80 is still available with a choice of 3.5-litre V6 turbo-petrol and 3.0-litre inline-six turbo-diesel engines. The latter was recently reported to be getting the axe globally, however.

The remaining GV80 line-up has also received a $2030 price rise, which Genesis Australia says is due to “increased manufacturing and transport costs”.

The 2024 Genesis GV80 range now starts at $105,700 before on-roads with the 3.0-litre inline-six turbo-diesel engine, and $110,200 before on-roads with the 3.5-litre turbocharged V6 petrol engine.

Any GV80 order placed from September 1 onwards will be at this new price. All existing customer orders are secured at pre-update pricing, even if delivery is after September 1.

Beyond this, Genesis Australia has confirmed there haven’t been any specification changes for the GV80.

Until the end of July, Genesis has sold a total of 208 GV80s. It has been outsold by the Audi Q7 (1043 sales), BMW X5 (2105 sales), Land Rover Defender (1956 sales), Mercedes-Benz GLE wagon (1726 sales), and Volvo XC90 (793 sales).

The GV80 range is set to expand soon with a coupe SUV variant, previewed by the GV80 Coupe Concept. Overseas reports also indicate that, along with the demise of the diesel, the GV80 range will gain a new flagship mild-hybrid twin-turbo petrol V6.
