The model is listed with two catalogue blocks that belong to one generation of Genesis GV80, body SUV 5-doors.

The model is listed with two catalogue blocks that belong to one generation of Genesis GV80, body SUV 5-doors.

1 generation ran 2020-01-01 to 2024-01-31 with 7 versions: 3.0 AT, 3.0 AT AWD, 2.5 AT, 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT, 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT AWD, 3.0 TD AT AWD, 2.5 AT AWD. Diesel 3.0 AT here is RWD, 278 hp (204 kW) at 3800 rpm, 588 Nm at 1500 – 3000, 2996 cc, 6 Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, Turbo, Front, longitudinal. Gasoline 2.5 AT / 2.5 AT AWD use Combined injection (direct-distributed). Gasoline 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT / 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT AWD use V-shaped 6, Combined injection (direct-distributed).

1 generation, restyling starts 2023-09-01 (stop not measured) with 9 catalogue rows: 2.5 AT 4WD (304 hp), 3.5 AT 4WD (380 hp), 2.5 AT, 3.5 AT, 3.0 AT (273 hp), 3.5 AT 4WD (375 hp), 2.5 AT 4WD (304 hp, second identical row), 3.5 AT 4WD (380 hp, second identical row), 3.5 T-GDi e-S/C V6 Mild Hybrid 4WD AT. The restyling does not add a second generation. What it does change, in arithmetic:

• Diesel 3.0 AT (restyling) is 273 hp / 200 kW vs 278 hp / 204 kW on 1 generation 3.0 AT and 3.0 AT AWD and 3.0 TD AT AWD: −5 hp. Drive on restyling 3.0 AT is AWD, not RWD. 0–100 km/h is 7.5 s vs 6.8 s on 3.0 TD AT AWD (+0.7 s). Torque stays 588 Nm except 3.0 TD AT AWD at 600 Nm (+12 Nm).
• The 3470 cc Gasoline is no longer named 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT; it is 3.5 AT / 3.5 AT 4WD. Power is still 380 hp on most 3.5 rows, with one 3.5 AT 4WD at 375 hp (−5 hp at the same 5800 rpm and the same 530 Nm at 1300).
• Injection on restyling 2.5 and 3.5 is Direct injection (direct), not Combined injection (direct-distributed).
• New top of the range: 3.5 T-GDi e-S/C V6 Mild Hybrid 4WD AT, 415 hp (305 kW), 3470 cc, +35 hp vs 380 hp 3.5, +40 hp vs the 375 hp 3.5 AT 4WD. Torque for this hybrid is not measured.

Overlap of dates: restyling from 2023-09-01 while 1 generation still lists stop 2024-01-31. A 2023–2024 buyer can see both name sets on the same SUV 5-doors.

Engine options and specs

Every version uses Automatic, 8 gears, Front, longitudinal, Turbo, 6 cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder. Fuel is Diesel on the 2996 cc cars and 95 on the Gasoline cars. Tank is 80 l on every version.

Bore × stroke: 83 × 92.3 on all 2996 cc Diesel versions; 88.5 × 101.5 on all 2497 cc versions; not measured on 3470 cc. Compression 10.5 on 2.5 versions; not measured on 3.0 and 3.5. Power rpm not measured only on the mild hybrid. Peak hp rpm is 3800 on Diesel, 5800 on Gasoline 2.5 and 3.5.

Horsepower, torque, and power per litre

Specific output (hp per litre = hp / (cc/1000)):

• 2.5 AT, 2.5 AT AWD, restyling 2.5 AT and 2.5 AT 4WD: 304 / 2.497 = 121.7 hp/l — densest in the catalogue.
• 3.5 T-GDi e-S/C V6 Mild Hybrid 4WD AT: 415 / 3.470 = 119.6 hp/l.
• 380 hp 3.5 (3.5 T-GDi V6 AT, 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT AWD, restyling 3.5 AT, restyling 3.5 AT 4WD 380 hp): 380 / 3.470 = 109.5 hp/l.
• 3.5 AT 4WD 375 hp: 375 / 3.470 = 108.1 hp/l.
• 278 hp Diesel (3.0 AT, 3.0 AT AWD, 3.0 TD AT AWD): 278 / 2.996 = 92.8 hp/l.
• Restyling 3.0 AT 273 hp: 273 / 2.996 = 91.1 hp/l — lowest specific output.

Torque ranking among measured values: 3.0 TD AT AWD 600 Nm; other 3.0 Diesel 588 Nm; 3.5 Gasoline 530 Nm at 1300 rpm (earliest listed peak); 2.5 Gasoline 422 Nm at 4000 rpm. The 2.5 makes 422 / 2.497 = 169.0 Nm/l; 3.0 TD 600 / 2.996 = 200.3 Nm/l; 3.5 530 / 3.470 = 152.7 Nm/l. Diesel still wins on torque density even when it loses on hp/l.

Gap 2.5 → 3.5 (same generation, Gasoline): 380 − 304 = +76 hp and 530 − 422 = +108 Nm, for +973 cc. Gap 3.5 380 hp → mild hybrid: +35 hp; Nm not comparable because hybrid torque is not measured. Gap 1 generation Diesel 278 hp → restyling Diesel 273 hp: −5 hp, same 588 Nm unless the car is 3.0 TD AT AWD.

Performance and mpg (fuel consumption)

0–100 km/h is measured on two versions only: 3.0 TD AT AWD 6.8 s; restyling 3.0 AT 7.5 s. All 2.5, all 3.5 including the hybrid, 3.0 AT and 3.0 AT AWD of 1 generation: not measured. Top speed is measured only on 3.0 TD AT AWD (230 km/h); every other version: not measured. Searches for “0-60” and “2025/2026 specs” cannot be answered from this sheet beyond those two Diesel figures.

Mixed consumption, measured:

• 3.0 TD AT AWD: 6.7 l/100 km (best).
• 2.5 AT (1 generation): 10.3.
• 2.5 AT AWD: 11.1 (city 12.5, highway 9.6 — the only city/highway split in the data).
• 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT: 11.6; restyling 3.5 AT 4WD (380 hp and 375 hp): 11.6.
• 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT AWD: 12.5.
• 3.5 T-GDi e-S/C V6 Mild Hybrid 4WD AT: 13.5 (worst measured mixed).

Not measured mixed: 1 generation 3.0 AT, 3.0 AT AWD; restyling 2.5 AT 4WD, 2.5 AT, 3.5 AT, 3.0 AT.

AWD vs RWD on the same 380 hp 3.5 in 1 generation: 12.5 − 11.6 = +0.9 l/100 km for AWD. Restyling 3.5 AT 4WD lists 11.6 mixed — the same as 1 generation RWD 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT, not the 12.5 of 1 generation AWD. 2.5 AWD vs 2.5 RWD mixed: 11.1 − 10.3 = +0.8 l/100 km. Hybrid vs restyling 3.5 AWD mixed: 13.5 − 11.6 = +1.9 l/100 km for +35 hp.

CO2: 190 g/km on 1 generation 2.5 AT and 2.5 AT AWD; 199 g/km on restyling 3.5 AT 4WD (both 380 and 375 hp) and on the hybrid. Eco class Euro 6 is listed for 3.0 TD AT AWD, restyling 3.5 AT, restyling 3.5 AT 4WD (380 and 375), and the hybrid. Other versions: eco class not measured. On an 80 l tank, mixed range arithmetic (tank / mixed × 100) is 80 / 6.7 × 100 ≈ 1194 km for 3.0 TD AT AWD; 80 / 10.3 × 100 ≈ 777 km for 2.5 AT; 80 / 11.6 × 100 ≈ 690 km for 11.6 3.5 cars; 80 / 12.5 × 100 ≈ 640 km for 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT AWD; 80 / 13.5 × 100 ≈ 593 km for the hybrid.

Weight, dimensions, wheels

Gross weight: not measured on any version. Ground clearance: not measured. Length/width/height: not in this dataset. Wheel sizes are measured only on 1 generation Gasoline 2.5 AT, 2.5 AT AWD, 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT, 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT AWD: 265/55 R19 and 265/50 R20. Diesel 1 generation and all restyling versions: wheels not measured.

Kerb weight and kg per hp (kerb / hp), where weight is measured:

• 3.5 T-GDi e-S/C V6 Mild Hybrid 4WD AT: 2275 kg, 5.48 kg/hp (heaviest car, best kg/hp).
• Restyling 3.5 AT 4WD 380 hp: 2095 kg, 5.51 kg/hp (lightest measured 3.5 AWD).
• Restyling 3.5 AT 4WD 375 hp: 2095 kg, 5.59 kg/hp.
• 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT: 2110 kg, 5.55 kg/hp (lightest 1 generation Gasoline).
• 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT AWD: 2175 kg, 5.72 kg/hp. AWD penalty vs RWD sibling: 2175 − 2110 = +65 kg.
• 2.5 AT and 2.5 AT AWD and restyling 2.5 AT 4WD: 2170 kg, 7.14 kg/hp. AWD penalty on 2.5 in 1 generation: 0 kg in the listed kerb (same 2170).
• 3.0 AT and 3.0 TD AT AWD: 2135 kg, 7.68 kg/hp.
• 3.0 AT AWD: 2215 kg, 7.97 kg/hp (highest kg/hp among measured). AWD vs RWD 3.0: 2215 − 2135 = +80 kg.
• Restyling 2.5 AT, restyling 3.5 AT, restyling 3.0 AT: kerb not measured.

Restyling 3.5 AT 4WD at 2095 kg is 2175 − 2095 = 80 kg lighter than 1 generation 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT AWD at the same 380 hp. Hybrid is 2275 − 2095 = +180 kg vs that restyling 3.5 AWD.

Chassis is the same label on every version: Independent, spring front and rear; Ventilated disc front; Disc ventilated rear.

Which version to choose

Buy 1 generation 3.0 TD AT AWD if the numbers that exist matter more than the newest name. It is the only Diesel with 600 Nm, Euro 6, 6.8 s to 100 km/h, 230 km/h, and 6.7 l/100 km mixed. Versus 3.0 AT AWD it keeps 278 hp and AWD, adds +12 Nm, and is 80 kg lighter (2135 vs 2215). Versus restyling 3.0 AT it has +5 hp (278 vs 273) and 0.7 s quicker 0–100 (6.8 vs 7.5); restyling diesel kerb, mixed, and top speed are not measured.

Buy 1 generation 3.0 AT (RWD) if you want Diesel without AWD mass. Same 278 hp and 588 Nm as 3.0 AT AWD, −80 kg, but 0–100, top speed, mixed, CO2, eco class, and wheels are not measured. 3.0 AT AWD is the heaviest 278 hp Diesel at 2215 kg.

Do not treat restyling 3.0 AT as the same car as 1 generation 3.0 AT. Same catalogue name, different drive (AWD vs RWD), different power (273 vs 278 hp), Direct injection (direct) vs injection not measured on 1 generation 3.0 AT.

Buy 2.5 AT (1 generation, RWD) if you want the highest hp/l and the lowest measured Gasoline mixed. 121.7 hp/l, 10.3 l/100 km, 190 g/km CO2, 2170 kg, 265/55 R19 or 265/50 R20. Versus 2.5 AT AWD: same 304 hp, 422 Nm, 2170 kg; AWD costs +0.8 l/100 km mixed (11.1 vs 10.3) and is the only 2.5 with city 12.5 / highway 9.6. Restyling 2.5 AT keeps 304 hp RWD but kerb, mixed, CO2, wheels not measured; injection becomes Direct injection (direct). Restyling 2.5 AT 4WD (304 hp, listed twice with identical figures) is AWD at 2170 kg; mixed not measured.

Buy 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT if you want 380 hp at the lowest 1 generation kerb. 2110 kg, 5.55 kg/hp, 11.6 mixed, RWD. 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT AWD is +65 kg and +0.9 l/100 km mixed for the same 380 hp / 530 Nm.

On restyling, read the 3.5 AT 4WD power. Three rows share the name 3.5 AT 4WD: two at 380 hp (2095 kg, 11.6 mixed, 199 g/km, Euro 6) and one at 375 hp (same 2095 kg, 11.6, 199, Euro 6, same 279 kW listed). The 375 hp row is −5 hp at the same kg; kg/hp worsens from 5.51 to 5.59. Restyling 3.5 AT is the RWD 380 hp twin; kerb and mixed not measured.

Buy 3.5 T-GDi e-S/C V6 Mild Hybrid 4WD AT only if 415 hp is the point. +35 hp vs 380 hp 3.5, +40 vs 375 hp 3.5 AT 4WD, 119.6 hp/l, 5.48 kg/hp. Cost in the sheet: +180 kg vs restyling 380 hp 3.5 AT 4WD, mixed 13.5 vs 11.6, CO2 still 199. Torque, 0–100, top speed, city/highway, wheels, clearance: not measured. This is the only hybrid in the data; searches for “GV80 hybrid” map to this exact name, not to a plug-in.

What extra hardware does not buy in this catalogue. Prices, lease, and “for sale” are not in the data. Interior, reliability, engine problems, air filter, and check-engine behaviour are not measured. Coupe is not a listed body. 2025/2026 horsepower is not a separate generation: after 2023-09-01 the restyling block is still 1 generation, restyling, with 273–415 hp depending on the version name above.

Short map: Diesel economy and the only full performance pair → 3.0 TD AT AWD. Gasoline efficiency and specific output → 2.5 AT. Light 380 hp RWD → 3.5 T-GDi V6 AT. Light 380 hp AWD after restyling → 3.5 AT 4WD (380 hp), not the 375 hp namesake. Peak hp → 3.5 T-GDi e-S/C V6 Mild Hybrid 4WD AT. Match the version string exactly when you open a modification page: 3.0 AT is two different cars across the restyling, and 3.5 AT 4WD is two different power ratings.
