Kelley Blue Book has a new article out comparing the GV80 with the Lexus RX


Similarities
Base price; optional (tight) third row; fuel economy; optional all-wheel drive.

2021 Genesis GV80 Advantages
Fresher design; powerful upgrade engine; longer warranty; sportier handling.

2021 Lexus RX Advantages
Optional hybrid; proven reliability; strong resale value.

Final Recommendation
As with any product from Toyota or Lexus, the 2021 Lexus RX is a very solid choice if you’re looking for a comfortable, luxurious, well built and reliable midsize luxury crossover. But it’s starting to feel its age. Since it’s new, the 2021 Genesis GV80 had to come out swinging, and swing it did, offering fresher looks, tons of amenities, great driving manners, and even a powerful upgrade engine. And don’t forget that 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
