First of all, Genesis GV80 is positioned as a mid-to-large SUV. Its competitors are targeted at GLE, X5, Q7 and domestically produced Hongqi HS7. The design of the front face is very recognizable, with a large pentagonal diamond. The middle grille is the family style of Genesis. The headlights are a typical split design.

The rear design of the car is also more layered. The taillight design is highly recognizable, and the design echoes the headlights and chrome trim on the side. The roof does not use a fastback design, and the dual-exhaust exhaust on both sides is very sporty. Its chassis height is obviously not as high as that of the Hongqi HS7, and it is not equipped with an air suspension system.

The interior looks very simple. Except for the strange feeling of the steering wheel, it is basically in line with the mainstream design, with horizontal lines as the mainstay, and the materials are wood grain and leather as the main axis. The double-spoke steering wheel supports electric direction adjustment, and the central control has a mezzanine design. The instruments, central control and air conditioner are all LCD panels.

It does not use a panoramic sunroof/canopy, which is more convenient to operate. The second-row seats support massage functions. The trunk can directly operate the second and third row seat backs to tilt/erect, showing the convenience that a high-end brand should have.
