2023 Genesis GV80

Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says Genesis made all-wheel drive standard on all GV80 models for 2023, and the base price of the flagship SUV increased substantially over 2022 to reflect it. All models also get a new oil life monitoring system, and the center-console infotainment knob and second-row cup holders were tweaked. Carvana (opens in a new tab) calls it a light-update year in the first generation, the third model year before the refresh, with minor cabin-control updates and trim changes rather than new styling or a new platform.

Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) puts used 2023 GV80 prices at $34,100 for the 2.5T Base to $40,400 for the 3.5T Base at a dealership, and rates fuel economy at 18/23 to 20/24 mpg city and highway. EPA rates the 2023 GV80 at 20 to 22 mpg combined and $3,500 to $3,900 a year in fuel, with all-wheel drive.

NHTSA lists four recall campaigns for the 2023 GV80. 23V094000 covers front seat belt pretensioners that may explode upon deployment in a crash, and dealers secure them with a cap. 24V282000 covers a fuel pump that may fail and cause a loss of drive power, and dealers replace the assembly, 25V105000 covers a software error that may make the instrument panel display fail, and 26V229000 covers fuel that may leak at the pipe connection between the fuel pipe and fuel rail.

Owners have filed 40 complaints with NHTSA: electrical system with 10, and fuel and propulsion system, unknown or other and power train with 6 each, and visibility and wiper with 4. ProblemsByVin (opens in a new tab) names electrical as the most-reported issue, and Consumer Reports (opens in a new tab) keeps a reliability page for the year.

EPA rates the 2023 GV80 at 20 to 22 mpg combined and $3,500 to $3,900 a year in fuel. The BMW X5 lists 15 to 23 at $3,350 to $5,150, the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class 17 to 22 at $3,500 to $4,550, the Volvo XC90 22 to 27 at $2,850 to $3,500, and the Lexus RX 24 to 36 at $2,150 to $3,250. The GV80 is ahead of the GLE-Class and behind the XC90 and RX.
