Some new, some old, some big, some small: Here are C&D’s preferred rides for the coming year

2 - Genesis GV80

Here’s another model that packs a lot of bang for the buck, in the view of the Car and Driver team. Only four years into its existence as a stand-alone brand, the luxury automaker continues with its strategy of offering a ton of standard features to go with its premium models. Car and Driver even found a bit of a Bentley touch to the honkingly huge front grille the brand’s first SUV carries around with it.

What C&D liked:

 - Great price point
 - Crisp handling and steering
 - Quiet ride
 - Subtlety of the V6 engine
 - Sufficient power from both that V6 and the 2.5L 4-cylinder in the product offering
 - Highly luxurious interior
