Since its debut earlier this year, the new 2021 Genesis GV80 crossover SUV is turning the South Florida luxury SUV market on its head by offering a new level of luxury, value, quality, and performance compared to such well-established European luxury SUVs like the 2021 Audi Q5.
If you’re in a quest for the best luxury SUVs for sale near Miami, here are five reasons why you should choose the stunning new 2021 Genesis GV80 crossover SUV over the 2021 Audi Q5 SUV:
1. Stellar Styling vs. Staid Conservatism

When the beautiful new Genesis GV80 burst onto the luxury automotive scene, it immediately garnered praise for its gorgeous new sheet metal. According to Robert Duffer, Senior Editor of TheCarConnection.com, the new GV80 “…might be the best-looking SUV on the market…”
Duffer goes on to add: “The athletic proportions outside and the attention to detail inside could easily pass for a six-figure luxury SUV. It’s a 10.”
While slightly refreshed for the 2021 model year, the Audi Q5 continues along with more familiar, albeit conservative, lines. In fact, one would be difficult to distinguish the 2021 Q5 from earlier models, according to TheCarConnection.com’s Managing Editor Aaron Cole who says:
“The 2021 Audi Q5 is slightly updated compared to last year although you’d be hard-pressed to spot the differences. We’ve circled the changes like a Highlights magazine photo contest and, well, there aren’t that many circles. “…The Q5 doesn’t improve much on the crossover’s formula for looks. It still looks more conservative compared to the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class and BMW X3…”
2. Opulent Spaciousness vs. Cramped Cabin

The new Genesis GV80 offers an opulent and palatial interior that sets new standards for luxury, quality, refinement, and craftsmanship. The GV80’s indulgent and superlatively crafted interior is superior to its German rival’s more austere Teutonic cabin that TheCarConnection.com’s Aaron Cole faults for its “black on black on black” interior that can “feel a little cramped and dour inside.”
By almost any measure, the GV80’s interior offers more room and comfort than the Audi Q5. In fact, the 5-passenger GV80 crossover SUV has more front shoulder room, more front legroom, more front headroom, more 2nd-row shoulder room, and more 2nd-row legroom than the Q5.
3. More Innovative Technology

Both the Genesis GV80 and the Audi Q5 come well-equipped with the latest technology and infotainment features. However, the GV80 pulls ahead of the Audi Q5’s standard 10.1-inch touchscreen display with its innovative, next-generation 14.5-inch wide-view touchscreen that “floats” above the center-stack dash for unparalleled visibility and ease-of-use. This technological marvel can be controlled by touching the screen, through voice activation, or even with your handwriting.
4. More Potent Performance

When it comes to performance it’s no contest with the Genesis GV80 thoroughly outclassing the Audi Q5. It offers a more powerful standard 300 horsepower, 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that delivers an impressive 311 lb.- ft. of torque for better off-the-line acceleration and responsiveness.
In standard trim, the Audi Q5 is left at the starting gate with a less powerful 261-horsepower, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that only manages 273 lb.-ft. of torque. Plus, the Q5 comes with just a seven-speed automatic transmission; one less gear than the GV80.
5. Superior Safety

Genesis gives passenger safety its top priority, equipping the GV80 luxury SUV with an impressive array of standard safety features, including:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance with Emergency Braking and Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist with Emergency Braking
- Parking Sensors
- Lane-Change Oncoming Assist
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Driver Attention Warning
