Serving Brunswick, GA

Elegant, powerful and sporty, the 2021 Genesis GV80 takes the luxury SUV segment by storm. Featuring seating for five adult occupants, the base trim comes with a rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. You may also upgrade to a seven-seat configuration on the most expensive model. Produced in four trims, the 2021 Hyundai Palisade is also a major force on the luxury SUV market.

Capabilities

Displacing 2.5 L, a turbocharged I-4 engine is a default installation under the hood of the 2021 Genesis GV80. Rated at 310 net horsepower and just above 310 pound-feet of torque, the four-cylinder powertrain is engineered to burn premium fuel. Delivering up to 75 additional hp, a 3.5 L V6 engine is available for this luxury SUV. Twin turbochargers also help this six-cylinder powertrain produce 80 more lb-ft of torque than the standard I-4 engine. Peaking at just more than 290 hp and 260 lb-ft, the 2021 Hyundai Palisade’s standard 3.8 L engine has six cylinders in a V-style configuration.
