The interior of the Genesis GV80 is a masterclass in luxury and perceived quality. The cabin is beautifully finished, the materials look and feel excellent, and it has a different ambience to all of its rivals.

There is full leather seat trim and leather-accented trim on the doors and dashboard, and the versions fitted with the Luxury Pack gain Nappa leather trim and electric second and third row seat adjustment.

The combination of leather and wood trim is excellent and open to interpretation based on the buyer's tastes, and the technology - including a 14.5-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch heads-up display - is excellent.

The model you choose in the GV80 range will determine how many seats you get. The entry-level 2.5T RWD has five seats and gets a slightly larger boot/cargo capacity of 735 litres. The 2.5T AWD, 3.0D AWD and 3.5T AWD models all have 727 litres of cargo space, but they all have seven seats. Don't think of this as a full-time seven seater, though - the Volvo XC90 and Audi Q7 still offer better third row room than this model.

The beauty of the Genesis GV80 is the array of choices customers have. There are 11 colours to choose (eight at no extra cost), and four interior leather trim selections along with four open pore wood finishes. Choose the Luxury Pack - which adds a number of highly desirable extras - and you also get Nappa leather with an additional interior hue, Smoky Green. It looks amazing.

A factory fit tow bar is available as well.

If you're all about 0-100 acceleration speed, we've got the info you need to know. 

The 2.5T RWD and 2.5T AWD models claim the same sprint time - 6.9 seconds from 0-100km/h.

The 3.0D AWD, which slots in the middle of the range, is said to complete the feat in 6.8sec.

But the high performance horsepower hero of this range is the 3.5T AWD, which has a claimed 0-100 time of 5.5sec. Yowsers.
