tbone Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I’m too lazy to look, but has anyone seen a pic of the rear of the vehicle? From the above pic, the silhouette kind of looks like the rear of the MKT. I hope they didn’t make that mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its odd that they made it a relatively swoopy/curvy design, and then slap on ultra square head/taillights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92merc Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 It's a nice try. But why would I buy this over a Palisade? I mean if people are saying they can cross shop between the Explorer and Palisade, then I can cross shop the GV and a Palisade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probowler Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 That's a good looking station wagon. Seriously though, it kind of seems like we're coming full circle with crossovers. It kind of reminds me of this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurgeh Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Bumping this topic back up now that first drive reviews are out. This seems to be a very impressive mid-sized luxury crossover, and with a RWD/AWD configuration much like the Aviator. It is almost identical to the size of the Nautilus and what the Nautilus could be if FMC hadn't decided to shelve redesign plans for the Edge and Nautilus, leaving a big white space between the smaller Corsair and larger Aviator. The rumors are that the white space will end up being filled with an all-electric, but many of us don't have overnight charging capabilities where we live so that really isn't an option. With my Nautilus lease ending in just over a year, I will be seriously looking at this. I might also just buy out my lease as I do like the Nautilus and that will give me more time to consider my next move. I could also lease a new 2022 Nautilus with its revised interior, but I'm not thrilled with getting another one in its final year or two of production. It will be getting a little long in the tooth at that point. https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/genesis/gv80 https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/reviews/2021-genesis-gv80-3-5t-awd-preview/ Edited December 19, 2020 by Gurgeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 This is the car Tiger Woods was driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgeh Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 This, from CNN's article on the crash: "The crash, which destroyed the front of the Genesis SUV courtesy vehicle, could have been fatal, but the airbags and seatbelts helped Woods survive, Gonzalez and Sheriff Alex Villanueva said. The sheriff said he thinks Woods was traveling at a high rate of speed down a hilly part of the road when the crash occurred." Look at the vehicle. The passenger cabin is almost entirely intact, despite the violence of the crash. Unless some some fault in the vehicle is found for having caused the crash, that's quite a testament. Genesis is certainly getting lots of unexpected attention to their all-new, first-ever SUV, but maybe not the attention they would have liked. People might just think of it as the car that crashed Tiger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I saw a bunch of these are the Hyundai / Genesis dealer last weekend when my wife was checking out the Santa Fe. They really have a presence and look much better in person than pictures (tell me what vehicle doesn't these days?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc D. Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 When I was shopping for my next ride in January, I have compared GV80 (and many more) to the 2021 Nautilus. For almost 10k less, the Nautilus was better equipped. I like the GV interior but the front grille not so... Now here I am, waiting for my Naut!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that the truth...I said that after seeing my first MME. I'm also not a fan of the chipmunk perspective shots you see cars taken in these days.

It is a little hard to compare the Genesis and Lincoln crossover lineup. In size, the 2-row Corsair is the smallest. Next in size is the 2-row Genesis GV70 (already out in Korea and soon to be released stateside), then the 2-row Nautilus, the 2- or 3-row GV80 (it is available in both configurations), and the 3-row Aviator. Most compare the GV80 with the Aviator, MDX, X5 and Q7 or Q8 (depending on whether one is comparing 2-row or 3-row). These are all about the same size except for the Aviator and Audi Q7, which are a few inches longer. Another reason why the GV80 lines up better with the Aviator is they are both RWD/AWD vehicles and the GV80 comes with a 3.5 twin turbo V6 option (it's base engine is a 2.5 turbo 4). One more comment: the upcoming GV70 in Korea has the same engine options as the GV80, which puts a hellavalot of power in the smaller, lighter crossover.

I agree with you the GV80 should not be compared to the Nautilus. If only for the bigger engines. Lenght wise GV80 fits right in-between the Aviator and the Nautilus. For us, the Corsair was just big enough, and the Nautilus is plenty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIHS confirmed what Tiger Woods knows very well. Genesis GV80 is a excellent vehicle to be driving if you're going to crash it. GV80 earned Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS with "Good" rating for all crashworthiness measures and "Acceptable" rating for headlamp performance.
