Overview
Are you in the market for a luxury SUV and can't decide which one is right for you? That's understandable, given the many great options in the luxury SUV segment. You've probably considered the 2023 Lexus RX or the 2023 Genesis GV80. While these two vehicles seem to have much in common, the Lexus RX is the better choice. Let's take a closer look at the 2023 Lexus RX vs. 2023 Genesis GV80 at DARCARS Lexus of Silver Spring.
Power and Performance
The Genesis GV80 lineup's base engine is a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that puts out 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. The RX comes standard with a 2.4 turbo-liter four-cylinder that generates 275 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. The RX lineup also offers a hybrid SUV with an output of 366 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque.
While the GV80 is available with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 capable of producing 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque, the GV80 lineup doesn't feature any hybrid options. That's something to consider if you're interested in purchasing an alternative-fuel vehicle.
Fuel Efficiency
Depending on what trim level you choose, the Lexus RX fuel efficiency ranges from 21 to 37 mpg in the city and 28 to 34 mpg on the highway. The Genesis GV80's maximum fuel efficiency is only 18 to 20 mpg in the city and 20 to 24 mpg on the highway. The Lexus RX is the clear winner if you want to spend less time and money at the fuel pump.
Technology
The Genesis GV80 features a 14.5-inch infotainment screen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With the Lexus RX, you can choose between a 9.8-inch touchscreen display or a 14-inch display, both compatible with your preferred smart device. Both Lexus displays feature Drive Connect and Destination Assistance, two navigation apps exclusive to Lexus vehicles. The Lexus navigation apps are more accurate than other navigation systems because they rely on cloud-based updates to provide you with the latest traffic information automatically.
Safety Features
With the Lexus RX and Genesis GV80, you can take advantage of safety features that mitigate collisions, monitor blind-spot zones, and maneuver tight parking spots. However, the Lexus RX's safety features are more advanced than the GV80's. For example, the Lexus RX's pre-collision system can detect potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians when turning at an intersection. Unfortunately, the GV80's forward collision-avoidance assist doesn't offer intersection detection. As you can see, the 2023 Lexus RX gives you much more than the 2023 Genesis GV80.
