- 2021 Genesis GV80 to launch in Australia with three engines: two petrol, one diesel
- Rear- and all-wheel-drive options available, depending on specification
- All models equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission
- Prices ranging from $90,600 to $108,600 plus on-road costs
The upstart Korean luxury brand – a spin-off of the Hyundai brand – will offer its BMW X5-rivalling large SUV in a choice of four variants, each offering similar levels of standard equipment – but with the option of a $10,000 Luxury Package.
Opening the range is the GV80 2.5T, priced from $90,600 plus on-road costs, with two other powertrains available up to the $108,600 3.5T flagship.
The entry-level GV80 2.5T is powered, as its name suggests, by a 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 224kW and 422Nm. Drive is sent exclusively to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
2021 Genesis GV80 2.5T standard equipment
The list of standard active safety technologies is equally plentiful, consisting of:
A ‘Luxury Package’ can be optioned across the range for a cool $10,000, adding:
An all-wheel-drive version of the 2.5-litre four-cylinder can be had for an additional $5000, bringing the price to $95,600 plus on-road costs.
Along with the aforementioned all-paw system, it adds a third row of seats, which gains power adjustment when the Luxury Package is optioned.
Customers looking for a diesel model can opt for the GV80 3.0D AWD, priced from $103,600 plus on-road costs.
Under the bonnet is a new 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six diesel engine, sending 204kW and 588Nm to all wheels through an eight-speed automatic.
Standard equipment additions include adaptive dampers, an electro-mechanical rear limited-slip differential and 22-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 265mm-wide Michelin tyres.
Sitting atop the range is the $108,600 GV80 3.5T AWD, powered by a 279kW/530Nm 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive. The list of standard equipment is identical to the cheaper diesel model.
Eight gloss and three matte exterior paint colours will be offered across the range, the latter commanding a $2000 premium. Genesis’ five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty is standard.
The 2021 Genesis GV80 will make its Australian debut in October.
