I hope I'm wrong but I don't think that interior is going to be attracting any customers. Maybe it is just the colors/designs that have been leaked but it definitely will be competing for the ugliest interior in the class. Then again, it is all a matter of personal preference and it may be loved by some.

Yes, I tend to agree with you, also, does not seem Genesis will offer a sport version like they do with the current g80, another thing that bothers me, 22 inch wheels perfect... but on 265?? Nothing larger than that? I hope they are wrong on this

Ummm I just saw a review of the new Hyundai Grandeur... and Genesis better get their sh*t together because it will start losing sales to the parent company with the way their going.

There is something odd about the GV80 and I can’t quite put it together what it is.

Wow.......

I like the sign at the top of the first photo. They should put one of them in every dealer, especially the service department. That makes the second sale much easier to get from a happy customer.

Genesis seems to put less thoughts in designing the interior for the gv80. It is not the ugliest, but it doesnt reflect elegance and luxury. A lot of people dont like the two spoke steering wheel design, although I dont really mind it. What I hate is they chose to use that high gloss black trim around the AC controller that also appears to be touch screen. What a bad combo.
However, we should see how the final product looks in person. There might still be some changes.

I do agree that Genesis has tremendous pressure to keep up with its parent company that has been doing great jobs in remodeling their cars.

But, I am still excited regardless. I was impressed to see how gv80 handles during its test drive in Nurburgring.

While I'm comparing spy photos to real-life experience, my opinion is that the Palisade Ultimate has a far more luxurious cabin than the Genesis.

Based on spy photos or did you see a final design? That can be misleading as interior coverings can be changed in a short time. If they are on the road testing suspension and drivetrain they could be using some quickly put together interior. OTOH, shape of the dash, instruments, controls are probably final.

I'm pretty sure there was an article within the last 6 months or so that quoted someone from Genesis saying, and I'm paraphrasing here, that the interiors of the new models will be spartan/plain/simple, etc. Perhaps I'm misremembering and will try to find it.

Not digging the interior, but the exterior is gold baby, gold!

Nothing says luxury like plain simple plastic. Maybe they can recreate the plastic slip covers from 1960s furniture.
I would hope they'd want something better than the competition to attract new customers.

Perhaps my wording was not clear, the Genesis views are of spy photos, as contrasted to having actually been able to sit in a Palisade.

I have to agree with you on the Palisade having more Luxurious interior then the GV80. The interior of the Palisade looks and feels amazing it really shocked me as I thought the US spec to be more cheaper inside then the Korean Model. Kind of feel like Genesis might have missed the spot on the interior of the GV80. Also seems odd no Sport model for the GV80. I suppose they are going to get rid of that on the G80 as well. Only Sporty models would be the G70 and GV70

Nobody has ever seen this car...it’s not even out yet...let alone revealed!!

Pointless to draw such silly and baseless conclusions...c’mon people.

I mean true but at the same time for what we have via Spy Shots of what looks like very close for Production pieces I am going to stick with my initial reaction. Until I see it in person then I will go ahead and give my 100% input but for now this is all I have to say.

If ever they do not offer a gv80 sport, I will be going back to the X5, I like sporty stance on an suv, they did such a great job with the g80 sport, you can easily differentiate it from the regular g80. Again we sha'll see
