An interesting vehicle that launched in 2020 is the all-new Genesis GV80. Think of it as a Kia Telluride or Hyundai Palisade on steroids.
Essentially, it uses slightly better powretrains and features an interior that is a step up from those two offerings.

So, is it worth it?
That will be left up to you, Spies! Official pricing information has dropped and it will have a base price starting under $50,000 for the standard, rear-wheel drive variant powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder motor. From there, things ratchet up. The top of the line variant will cost $71,000 for all-wheel drive and be powered by a 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine.
What do YOU think, Spies? Is THIS pricing competitive or too expensive?
