For families in Cary and Raleigh, the Genesis GV80 offers a compelling balance of sophistication and everyday practicality.

Driving Performance and Capability

The 2027 Genesis GV80 offers a refined driving experience whether navigating the streets of Cary or heading out for a North Carolina road trip.

The 2.5T AWD configuration uses a 2.5L inline 4 turbo engine producing 300 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and AWD with Terrain Mode, providing confident traction and smooth power delivery for daily driving and longer trips.

Drivers seeking additional performance can consider GV80 configurations equipped with the available 3.5L twin-turbo V6, which produces 375 horsepower.

The GV80 can also support family recreation beyond everyday commuting. Maximum trailer weight can reach up to 6,000 lbs. when properly equipped with a trailer braking system, providing useful capability for appropriately sized trailers and recreational equipment.

Flexible Passenger Space for Families

Passenger flexibility is an important consideration when choosing a family SUV. Available three-row configurations provide additional passenger flexibility for families balancing children, friends, relatives, and cargo.

For the 2027 model year, Genesis offers third-row seating across most GV80 configurations, while the Prestige Black configuration is an exception. Depending on trim, the third row can provide seating for up to seven passengers and available power-folding functionality can make it easier to transition between passenger and cargo needs.

This flexibility allows the GV80 to adapt to school-day transportation, carpools, family outings, and longer road trips without giving up the premium environment expected from a Genesis SUV.

Comfort and Technology Features

Inside the 2027 Genesis GV80, comfort and technology work together to make everyday family travel more enjoyable.

The expansive 27-inch OLED display provides access to driving information, navigation, vehicle settings, and entertainment. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility make it easy to connect a compatible smartphone without relying on cables.

Higher GV80 configurations add features such as leather seating surfaces, ventilated front seats, and available Bang & Olufsen Premium Audio. Available second-row amenities can include heating, ventilation, and power reclining for additional passenger comfort.

These features can make a difference during everything from a short school commute to a longer drive toward Durham, Chapel Hill, or other destinations across North Carolina.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The 2027 Genesis GV80 offers a range of driver assistance technologies designed to provide additional awareness behind the wheel.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2 with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection can identify certain vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and powered two-wheelers ahead and can provide warnings or braking assistance when necessary.

Available Blind-Spot View Monitor can display a live camera image of the vehicle blind spot when a turn signal is activated. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist can also help when backing from a parking space by detecting certain approaching vehicles and providing warnings or braking assistance when needed.

These technologies can provide valuable additional support during crowded school drop-offs, shopping trips, daily commuting, and longer family drives.
