2022 Genesis GV80 Vs Mercedes-Benz GLE Class

The Mercedes-Benz GLE Class has also received a thorough update recently. Thus the 2022 model year would not be a major update over its predecessor. It shall still remain a crossover that offers one of the best interiors in its class along with oodles of features. In comparison to the GV80, the GLE Class offers a more luxurious cabin along with a more extensive features list. The MPG figures of the GV80 are slightly better than the GLE 350. However, the price difference justifies the GV80’s cabin as well as its features. the GV80 also offers better performance for a lesser price. 

2022 Genesis GV80 Vs Audi Q7

The Audi Q7 is another German titan in the path of GV80’s success. It is also the biggest SUV here and thus offers the most legroom on the inside. The Q7 has also received a major update in the past two years and is thus going to get only some minor updates. However, this Audi feels quite modern as well as high-tech when we talk about features. It still costs more than the GV80 which offers better performance than the Audi Q7. Thus, making it quite a lucrative offer in comparison to the Germans.

The GV80 has only been in the market for a year, and for 2022, only slight changes are expected. For an SUV starting under $50,000, the GV80 will continue to offer exceptional value for money in a practical, affordable yet luxurious package. The 2022 GV80 should cost along the same lines as last year’s model. Thus, we would not suggest waiting for a newer model if you plan on getting your hand on one. Customers looking for a smaller and sportier version of the GV80 can opt for the all-new GV70 which also offers a lot of similar options and shares the same drivetrain with the GV80.
