Genesis GV80

It may not have the pizzazz of the smaller, sleeker GV70, but the GV80 obviously has enough qualities to earn it top spot here ahead the mainly German competition. Upstart brand Genesis has made its mark in part by offering high levels of luxury, performance and athletic performance for less than those German brands. Once again this year, the midsize GV80 offers more, and is rewarded for it.

What KBB liked:

  • Great powertrains
  • Standard AWD
  • Big and luxurious interior
  • Solid warranty
  • Available three-row seating
  • Highly rated for safety
  • Highly personalizable, even as the pricing structure is wonderfully simple
  • Best Compact Car: 2023 Honda Civic
