About the Genesis GV80
Last updated Jun 07, 2024Genesis’ flagship luxury SUV has received some tweaks for the 2023 model year, both inside and under the skin.
The 2023 Genesis GV80 is on sale now.
The BMW X5 rival receives a new raised control dial for the infotainment system, replacing the old concave one. It retains a handwriting recognition function.
That means there’s now a raised rotary dial for both the infotainment and the transmission, so keep your wits about you.

Exterior
All six-cylinder GV80s also receive a revised locally tuned Electronic Control Suspension, with engineers working to improve refinement and comfort.
“The aim of the software changes was to better manage body control movements across certain road speeds,” said Genesis Australia product development manager Tim Rodgers.
“The revisions don’t change the character of GV80, but in terms of body motion the SUV now feels a bit more tied down.
“The software revisions were applied to both normal and sport modes and bring improved wheel control as well as body control, while maintaining a premium feel overall,” he said.
Six-cylinder variants also receive what Genesis calls a minor steering hardware change.
Other tweaks include restyled, colour-coded rear brake callipers with the Genesis wordmark.
In a market where significant price increases have become the norm, the GV80’s modest $200 price increase is more palatable, though this does follow increases of between $1024 and $1524 earlier this year.
