Overview

Similar Price. Completely Different Vehicles.

The Genesis GV80 is a widely praised luxury SUV — strong reliability ratings, a stunning OLED display, available three-row seating, and an interior that punches well above its price. The 2.5T AWD starts at $59,195, about $5,000 above the QX65.

The INFINITI QX65 answers with a dramatic fastback body style that the traditional-shaped GV80 cannot match, significantly higher towing capacity, and Google Built-In navigation as standard equipment. The GV80 wins on seating options, powertrain warranty, and optional V6 power. The QX65 wins on style, towing, and technology integration.

Why QX65 Wins

Where the QX65 Has the Clear Advantage

01
$5,000 Less to Start
The QX65 starts at $53,990 vs. $59,195 for the GV80 2.5T AWD. At a similar feature level, the QX65 consistently comes in lower across the trim lineup.
02
Dramatically Higher Towing Capacity
The QX65 tows up to 6,000 lbs. The base GV80 with the four-cylinder is rated for roughly 1,000 lbs — enough for a small utility trailer at best. If towing matters at all to you, the QX65 is the only choice.
03
Google Built-In, Standard
Every QX65 ships with Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play natively integrated. The Genesis GV80 does not offer Google Built-In — a notable gap for buyers who use Google's platform daily.
04
Fastback Design
The GV80 is a well-proportioned traditional SUV. The QX65 is a fastback coupe-SUV with a dramatic arching roofline that no conventional SUV shape can replicate on the road.
05
Better Fuel Economy
The QX65 is estimated at 22 mpg combined, one mpg better than the GV80 2.5T's 21 mpg. Small differences at the pump add up over ownership.
The Verdict

INFINITI QX65 over Genesis GV80

The Genesis GV80 is one of the strongest value propositions in the luxury midsize SUV segment — a class-leading powertrain warranty, available three-row seating, and strong reliability ratings are genuine advantages. But the INFINITI QX65 costs $5,000 less to start, tows dramatically more, integrates Google natively, delivers better fuel economy, and offers a bold fastback design that no traditional SUV shape can match.
