The Genesis GV80 is the new kid on the SUV block. It's aiming high and looking to take on the likes of BMW, Audi and the Mercedes-Benz GLE450 4MATIC. So how does the GV80 compare against the GLE 450 yardstick?

The Genesis GV80 is available with two engines. Entry level models are equipped with a 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder while upper trims have a 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6. The 2.5L engine produces 300 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque (224 kW & 422 Nm) while the twin-turbocharged V6 produces 375 hp & 390 lb-ft of torque (280 kW & 529 Nm). This demo vehicle had the V6 engine.

This 2nd generation GLE is available with a few engine options. The base GLE 350 comes with a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder, the higher AMG models are equipped with a mild-hybrid inline-6 & a twin-turbo mild-hybrid V8 in the GLE 53 AMG & GLE 63 AMG respectively. This GLE 450 is equipped with a slightly less powerful version of the 3.0L inline-6 mild-hybrid but it still packs a pretty good punch. The engine produces 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque on its own. The 48-volt mild-hybrid system assists it by momentarily providing an additional 21 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque when accelerating.

The 2021 Genesis GV80 starts at $64,500 CAD ($48,900 USD). This top spec Prestige trim will cost you $85,000 CAD ($65,550 USD). For the 2022 Genesis GV80 model year, all trim levels except for the 3.5 Advanced have gone up in pricing by $500 CAD. The 3.5 Advanced actually went down from $80,000 CAD to $77,000 CAD.

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 4MATIC 2022 starts at $80,600 CAD ($63,500 USD). The 2022 GLE 450 can still be equipped with a lot of packages and stand alone options that will easily raise the price to around the $110,000 CAD mark.
