2025 Mazda CX-70 vs 2025 Genesis GV80: Luxury Claims Tested!

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

Genesis is hands down for the win! It's aesthetically pleasing, and the technology and infotainment look like the future is already here.

[@papaagidi2838]

Genesis is way up there, this is Apple vs banana comparison

[@naveenthemachine]

Both are impeccably executed and both brands did a great job The gv80 wins by a hair though

[@troyprudhomme8222]

How can you say that when it's 20k more?

[@naveenthemachine]

@@troyprudhomme8222 because the interior is even nicer and you get next level features and tech. But the cx70 is exceptional in its own right

[@troyprudhomme8222]

​@@naveenthemachineI'd have to disagree. I mean those diamond looking knobs for the drive selector looks cheap as all hell. it's just not my type of interior and it cost 20k more. It's a lose lose.

[@dnice362]

Not for 25k for more

[@fernandocavazos2761]

I have the Cx 90 and it’s great .not paying 20k more for anything out there.

[@aloobi]

Dear Mazda, Please make a car that sells for $80,000 to show all these so-called luxury brands what true luxury means.

[@JaketheSnake-lz1pq]

The gv80 may be more luxurious but the cx70 is more fun to drive. I buy a car for its driving abilities. I got a cx70 3 months ago this car is a steal. Its bigger gets better mileage and 20k less .

[@AmorFati64]

Which trim?

[@JaketheSnake-lz1pq]

@@AmorFati64 turbo s premium poly Grey with red interior

[@oompa02]

I would go with the Mazda and keep the extra $20K. I would really consider the Mazda if only they did at least two things: Make the touch screen a REAL touch screen and two, hybridize their inline-6 like Volvo does with their vehicles. This would make the Mazda perform similar to a BMW X5. This would make the Mazda an awesome car.

[@coreylucas5997]

I know a family with the turbo premium in that nice red color, inside is extremely luxurious got it for 50 grand, he told me he considered a Lexus and Genesis but those were another 10-20 grand more

[@johnJohn-dz4ex]

The wireless Apple/Android comes in the form of an Over The Air update.

[@jeju_trophycollector]

CX70 is comparable to a higher-end Palisade or Telluride, not GV80. I own a CX90 (inline6 Premium Plus) and a Genesis GV60 (and I drove a GV70 as a loaner before) and in terms of luxury, materials used, ride quality, and features, they are not in the same class. Genesis feels way more like a luxury car. I wouldn't compare CX70 to a GV70 either.

[@captainsparkle-fingers2744]

Genesis is a fake Tesla-Aston Martin with a lawn mower for an engine built by Hyundai.

[@dustinm8800]

Mazda does a great job with the driving experience

[@elyj.8612]

The wireless phone projector works very well on the GV80, however, it was a recent OTU that requires pushing some buttons at the car to install, so maybe that one doesn't have it installed. Another thing is that you have to full disconnect the phone, and redo the connection wirelessly to get it work. After doing that, is great, responsive and works every single time. The best wireless connection that I have experience in any car.

[@troybrownentertainment2324]

Mazda for the win for me

[@cosmicviewer477]

Same here. All Genesis does is capture looks from other brands and meld them together. Also, luxury doesn't always mean stuffing every bell & whistle into a vehicle. Sometimes, it just means elegant simplicity which Mazda does well!

[@stevec912]

gv80...much better tech....much better looks...much higher price.....you get what you pay for.

[@mziwendukuntsele671]

Liked the Mazda interior more. Maybe it's the colours that mislead me. The Genesis looked cold & clinical. Mazda warmer & snug in comparison.

[@ranjand1983]

Gv70 would be a fair comparison not gv80

[@CarsandTechInfo]

Price wise yes but size wise the CX-70 & GV80 are similar in size

[@CarsandTechInfo]

What's wrong with the Infotainment system in the Mazda. Most people will leave it in wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto

[@dioralcide8490]

CX70 can’t compare with GV80. Gv80 makes CX70 look outdated

[@XChronicHash]

Nothing really compares to the GV80 in terms of aesthetics for this pricepoint

[@CarsandTechInfo]

The GV80 doesn't make the CX-70 look oufdated, but it's a more budget-friendly GV80 for less $ since it doesn't have some of the rear seat amenities the GV80 has

[@davidmoreno3370]

lol no one is out there shouting out they drive a Genesis. A Hyundai with a badge change is still a Hyundai and it’s not making it to 150k miles without major issues 😂

[@naveenthemachine]

[@JmoulFrancis]

Mazda vs Temu Bentley?

[@DeeEllEff]

Temu Bentley…LOL. Every time I spot a Genesis, I wonder aloud, “is that a Bentley logo?” Well, if the Bentley Boys were wealthy So. Korean software developers instead of wealthy British post-WWI industrialists, then maybe. Of course, Mazda’s criticism is that it copies BMW (turbochrgd inline-6 mounted longitudinally & alcantara trim in the interior). So, as a CX-70 PHEV Premium owner who paid way less for a new vehicle than any Genesis GV80 or a BMW X5 xDrive50e, a BMW beats both Asian SUVs in performance (for $77K), but the Genesis almost ties it in the luxury category. Should I say which is the greater value?😉

[@HANYANGWANG-tc7hl]

The Mazda is understated. The Genesis is too much to your face. Both are working to be considered luxury.

[@XChronicHash]

Two of THE best looking SUVs in the segment

[@Jordan-go4bm]

Previous Genesis employee here. His comment about the 2.5 liter turbo engine that is available in the GV80 only being available in “base models” couldn’t be further from correct. You can have a roughly $74,330 fully loaded GV80 with the 2.5 liter turbo engine in the “2.5 T Prestige AWD” trim and it is definitely not a “base model.” That would be the “Standard” or maybe the “Select” trim level.

[@jonmanuelreyes7588]

Both CX80 and GV80 Coupe are my dream cars

[@mdatpe]

OMG could you stop with the hands, it’s like watching the latest Apple product launch it just looks so fake as if someone told you to do it. Other than that great video .

[@curtisgoodwin8962]

Exactly 😂

[@CarsandTechInfo]

The GV80 needs a blacked out chrome option

[@nelsdale1137]

Love this comparison great job!

[@Jimmy-ph8xn]

GV80 is awesome but the fuel economy is atrocious at 18/22. The CX70 24/28 with PHEV option. That’s a lot less time spent at the pump.

[@nelsdale1137]

What?!?! 20 combined in 2024?!

[@TryingToBeKind]

Silly comparison with the >20K price difference! The maxed out Mazda should have been compared with the BASE Genesis to be close in price…and the luxury and engine differences would have been much more important/interesting/worth considering. Non-rich people compare value-for-money for roughly similar prices because they have a budget! 🧐🧐🧐

[@ddavidson5]

It's hardly surprising but for the extra 23K the Genesis costs over the Mazda (40% more!) you actually do get something for it.

[@dsw.808]

You didn't even talk about the rear seats.

[@ericschmitz357]

Service makes a big difference. Learn for yourself which service is better in your area..

[@joeykramer7282]

@@plutoxxxxxxx jokes on you. We own 2 Mazda CX-5s which I purchased for my two daughters. I recently shopped around for a new luxury vehicle. After personally looking and test driving the jaguar F-Pace, Land Rover Velar, Porsche Macan, BMW X-5, I purchased the 2025 Genesis GV80 “Coupe” and couldn’t be happier with my choice. Mazdas are great vehicles for their class, but are not in this class of vehicle. So speaking from experience, I did not even give mazda a thought, though we currently own 2.
