The 2025 Genesis GV80 3.5T Sport Prestige is the top-tier trim of Genesis's flagship midsize luxury SUV, powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 producing 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. The Sport Prestige trim includes a 27-inch OLED instrument cluster, Lexicon 21-speaker audio, Nappa leather with diamond quilting, and Genesis's Road Active Noise Cancellation for an exceptionally quiet cabin.

The 2025 Genesis GV80 3.5T Sport Prestige continues to demonstrate why Genesis has become a legitimate threat to the German luxury establishment. The twin-turbo V6 delivers a robust 375 hp with smooth, linear power delivery, and the 8-speed automatic shifts with refined precision. Interior craftsmanship is genuinely impressive at this price point, with premium materials and a minimalist design language that rivals vehicles costing significantly more. The Sport Prestige trim adds visual aggression without compromising ride comfort. Seven-passenger seating expands its practical appeal, though third-row space remains tight for adults. At $72,700, it undercuts comparable BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE configurations while arguably matching their refinement. Fuel economy at 18/25 mpg is merely adequate for the segment, and the infotainment system, while attractive, can frustrate with its touch-and-dial redundancy. Best suited for families wanting luxury presence without the traditional badge premium.
