2021 GV80 Vs. 2021 Palisade Comparison in Boerne, TX
2021 Genesis GV80 vs. 2021 Hyundai Palisade
Genesis and Hyundai are sister brands, with Genesis covering the luxury side while Hyundai presents a value-packed mainstream option for Boerne drivers. For the 2021 model year, Genesis has released the 2021 GV80, a direct competitor for the 2021 Hyundai Palisade. Which of these two family-friendly SUVs will suit you best? Let’s compare their features and capabilities to find out.
Performance
The 2021 GV80 starts out strong in this comparison with a 2.5-liter Intercooled Turbo Premium I-4 engine that gets an impressive 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. On the other side, the 2021 Palisade runs on a 3.8 V6 engine that only manages 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Both the GV80 and the Palisade have an eight-speed automatic transmission, though the GV80 operates with rear-wheel drive while the Palisade sticks with front-wheel drive.
Interior Comparison
Though the Palisade is one of the most value-packed mainstream SUVs you can find, it doesn’t hold a candle to the luxury and opulence of the 2021 Genesis GV80. The GV80 boasts a standard 14.5-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto, seat-position memory, power-adjustable seats, navigation, a premium sound system, and even an optional seat massager built into the front row. The Palisade’s 8-inch touchscreen and smartphone connectivity are wonderful, but they fall short of the long list of features the GV80 can offer.
Additionally, the GV80 offers more flexibility than the Palisade. While the Palisade comes with a third row in every iteration, the GV80 allows drivers to choose if they need a third row for their family or if they would prefer more cargo space.
Safety Features
Safety is a top priority for the Genesis and Hyundai brands, and both the GV80 and the Palisade come with an impressive amount of standard driver assistance features such as brake assist, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and daytime running lights, but the GV80 also offers integrated turn signal mirrors and other premium driver assistance features that give it an edge over the Palisade.
