Genesis GV80 vs BMW X5: Exploring New Locations

When you're eager to load up your luxury SUV and shuttle the family out of town for a road trip, leaning on the helpful navigation systems of the BMW X5 and the Genesis GV80 is the right move. Just how intuitive are these systems?

Well, in the Genesis SUV you enjoy a 14.5-inch navigation screen standard on every trim level. The screen is crisp, quick to react to inputs or changes as you're on the road, and is always looking for the fastest route to your destination.

The BMW X5 comes standard with navigation as well, yet you'll have to settle for pulling it up on either the 12.3-inch digital instrument display or the 12.3-inch touchscreen in the center stack. The navigation systems works just fine, yet the smaller screens can create hassles you won't have to deal with in the Genesis GV80.

Genesis GV80 vs BMW X5: Enjoying Your Favorite Music

Another important part of the technological setup for luxury SUVs such as the BMW X5 and the Genesis GV80 is the audio arrangement. Whether using your audio setup for music, a podcast, to speak on the phone with someone, or anything else, clarity is vital.

The standard Genesis GV80 comes with a premium 12-speaker audio system. The speakers are filtered throughout the cabin in a strategic manner, one that allows similar sound distribution for those in the first or second row. The BMW X5 limits those driving the standard model to just 10 speakers.

What if you move up to higher trims? The results are the same, with Genesis placing a greater emphasis on the sound quality. The peak Genesis audio system is a Lexicon® unit replete with 21-speakers. Playing music in this system at full blast sounds like you're in a concert hall.

The most speakers you can get out of the BMW X5 is 16.

Genesis GV80 Is More Luxurious Than the BMW X5

 While both offer supple rides and ample interior room, the technology systems for the Genesis GV80 exude a more luxurious vibe than the BMW X5. Want to test this out for yourself? Then, you can bring your whole family over to Genesis of New Hudson; we'll be more than happy to arrange a test drive through New Hudson, Southfield, or Dearborn.
