The Genesis GV80 combines an excellent Euro NCAP safety score with plenty of kit and space for the money. It can’t compete with the best German alternatives as an all-round package, though, due to its firm ride comfort and inefficient petrol engine.
Although we’ve yet to try this engine in the GV80, we have sampled it in the G80 saloon – and it does need revving quite hard before it delivers its best performance. This isn’t an ideal quality in a car designed to waft its occupants around peacefully, which is why we suspect the 3.0-litre diesel is the better buy.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we created our free New Car Buying service. This links you with trusted local dealers who base their offers on prices haggled by our mystery shoppers.
