2025 Genesis GV80 3.5T AWD is Luxury That Should Be On Your Radar
The Genesis GV80 has always been a refined and luxurious choice in the premium SUV segment. The 2025 model mid-cycle refresh makes it even better. Rejuvenated on the outside with “two-line” design enhancements, it’s the cabin that gets the most attention. And remember, that’s what owners see the most of. A new 27-inch OLED screen and Korean-inspired interior treatments make it memorable. Tom Voelk checks out a twin-turbocharged 3.5T AWD Prestige model in Capri Blue with Ultramarine interior that MSRPs for $81,300.
Tom attended a Genesis sponsored event for this review. Opinions remain his.

The 2024 Fiat 500e is a Small but Mighty City EV
Переглядів 15 тис.День тому
Want some spunk in your commute? The second-generation Fiat 500e is a four-passenger jetpack. Small and nimble, it’ll put a grin on anyone near it, even singing a little tune crossing 20 miles an hour. The $34,095 INSPR(RED) version tested saves money on fueling and scores parking spots too small for Honda Civics. It’s Miata grade fun for chucking into corners, as long as 149 miles of range is ...

Typically, the formula for performance vehicles is to add power, stiffen the suspension and bolt on some sticky tires.

At last, there’s an all-new Toyota 4Runner! The 6th generation gets a Platinum and Trailhunter trims for the first time. The V6 is gone, replaced by a turbocharged 4-cylinder i-FORCE 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder making 278 horsepower or the i-FORCE MAX hybrid 4-cylinder with up to 326 horses. Both get 8-speed transmissions. If that sounds familiar, 4Runner is based on the same TNGA-F archi...

Is F-150 is too big? Maverick too small? The new 2024 Ford Ranger is a tiny bit larger than the outgoing model and that adds big benefits. 4-foot-wide material sheets load between the wheel wells. The cabin gets a more inviting look. It has the smoothest turbocharged 4-cylinder engine in its class. It goes down the road in a relaxed manner (due in part to its mid-sized form factor). Tom Voelk c...

Hyundai’s all-electric Ioniq 6 has racked up dozens of awards and accolades. It’s fast, rides well, charges quickly and wears daring Streamliner design sheetmetal.

    Tom, You’re definitely a class act. I’ve watched several reviews on the new 2025 GV80 & not one of the reviewers mentioned that Genesis paid for them to be there! Maybe it’s a given but I truly appreciate you mentioning this fact. Loved the review and looking forward to buying one of these this year. Subscribed!

    Doesn't look like much. Speaking of look. Apparently Tom is unable to tell the difference between a Man and A Women. Scott is a Man. Scott looks like a man. Scott's DNA factually identifies HIM as a male. Scott was born a male. Its simple sad when someone of your intelligence falls for the demands of a broken society that states we as a people should not believe what are eyes tell us, but be pressured and shamed to pretend (in the case of transgenders) that this 6ft tall male that obviously looks and acts like a male shares the same genetics as my wife and my daughters. Tom I want to believe you are a decent man father husband and son and only are going along with this nonsense because you want to respect this man's wishes, but where is the line Tom? What happens when we have to call a lie a truth and or a truth a lie Tom? If this MAN is a women than I guess you also believe that Trump had the previous election stolen from him and that Trump is the best president ever elected, because he said so?????? Come on MAN!

    We genuinely wanted to pick one of these up this fall. The dealer addendums and the overall experience left us fairly disappointed. Both the dealers we went to denigrated the Maverick and tried to put us into full size trucks. The other issue was the nearly five thousand dollar addendum. We bought a Honda Ridgeline instead. Hate to say it but the Dealer network is killing Ford. I refuse to pay a "market adjustment" just for the privilege of driving their vehicles. Makes me wish Honda made a full size diesel so when I am ready to replace our F350 we would have another option.

    47k for a 4 cylinder 4wd XLT ranger is outrageous. I’d go XL 4wd with a E-lockers and call it good for 39k. To me that’s still too much for an extry level 4wd little pickup. The maverick was supposed to be the dirt cheap truck but they raised the price on those nearly 6k from what they promised at launch.

    I always felt The Genesis Brand is a luxury car knockoff pretty much like Lexus. I rented a 2022 G90 off Turo & I saw nothing original or unique. Most of what I noticed infact was a host of goodies from Audi & MB bin. Infact the shape is a bogus version of the A7. The power train is weak if you have driven true premium vehicles. And with it's lowest and worst customer satisfaction rate according to JD Power US Sales Satisfaction Index...... I'm not shocked that I don't see more of these.
