For enhanced safety, the front and rear seat shoulder belts of the Genesis GV80 Coupe have pretensioners to tighten the seatbelts and eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision and force limiters to limit the pressure the belts will exert on the passengers. The Toyota Venza doesn’t offer pretensioners for its rear seat belts.

The GV80 Coupe’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The Venza doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.

Both the GV80 Coupe and Venza have child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors. The GV80 Coupe has power child safety locks, allowing the driver to activate and deactivate them from the driver's seat and to know when they're engaged. The Venza’s child locks have to be individually engaged at each rear door with a manual switch. The driver can’t know the status of the locks without opening the doors and checking them.

The GV80 Coupe has a standard front seat center airbag, which deploys between the driver and front passenger, protecting them from injuries caused by striking each other in serious side impacts. The Venza doesn’t offer front seat center airbags.

In a Vehicle-to-Vehicle Frontal Crash Prevention 2.0 test conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Genesis GV80 Coupe achieved a “Good” rating - the highest possible - for its performance in forward collision warning and automatic braking systems, demonstrating its excellent capabilities in preventing collisions. The Toyota Venza has not been tested.

When descending a steep, off-road slope, the GV80 Coupe’s standard Downhill Brake Control allows you to creep down safely. The Venza doesn’t offer Downhill Brake Control.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the GV80 Coupe has standard Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist with automatic braking, systems which detect vehicles approaching from the sides and can automatically apply the brakes to prevent a collision. Only the Venza XLE/Nightshade/Limited offers Parking Support Brake.

Both the GV80 Coupe and the Venza have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, post-collision automatic braking systems, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The Genesis GV80 Coupe weighs 1246 to 1312 pounds more than the Toyota Venza. The NHTSA advises that heavier vehicles are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does 35 MPH front crash tests on new vehicles. In this test, results indicate that the Genesis GV80 Coupe is safer than the Toyota Venza:

The Genesis GV80 Coupe has achieved the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) highest rating of “Top Safety Pick Plus” for the 2025 model year. This distinction is based on its exceptional performance in IIHS’ rigorous battery of safety tests. Specifically, it earned a “Good” rating in the latest, more stringent moderate overlap front crash test, a “Good” result in the updated side impact test, and an “Acceptable” score in the revised pedestrian crash prevention test. The Venza is not even a standard “Top Safety Pick” for 2025.

Warranty

The GV80 Coupe comes with a full 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The Venza’s 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty expires 2 years or 24,000 miles sooner.

Genesis’ powertrain warranty covers the GV80 Coupe 5 years and 40,000 miles longer than Toyota covers the Venza. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles. Coverage on the Venza ends after only 5 years or 60,000 miles.

The GV80 Coupe’s corrosion warranty is 2 years longer than the Venza’s (7 vs. 5 years).

Genesis pays for scheduled maintenance on the GV80 Coupe for 1 year and 11000 miles longer than Toyota pays for maintenance for the Venza (3/36,000 vs. 2/25000).

Reliability

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2024 Initial Quality Study of new car owners surveyed provide the statistics that show that Genesis vehicles are better in initial quality than Toyota vehicles. J.D. Power ranks Genesis above average in initial quality. With 8 more problems per 100 vehicles, Toyota is rated lower.

Engine

The GV80 3.5T Coupe’s standard 3.5 turbo V6 produces 156 more horsepower (375 vs. 219) and 228 lbs.-ft. more torque (391 vs. 163) than the Venza’s 2.5 DOHC 4-cylinder hybrid. The GV80 3.5 e-Supercharger’s standard 3.5 turbo/supercharged V6 hybrid produces 190 more horsepower (409 vs. 219) and 242 lbs.-ft. more torque (405 vs. 163) than the Venza’s 2.5 DOHC 4-cylinder hybrid.

As tested in Car and Driver the GV80 3.5 e-Supercharger 3.5 turbo/supercharged V6 hybrid is faster than the Toyota Venza:

	GV80 Coupe	Venza
Zero to 60 MPH	5.2 sec	7.6 sec
Zero to 100 MPH	13.4 sec	20.9 sec
5 to 60 MPH Rolling Start	5.7 sec	7.9 sec
Quarter Mile	13.9 sec	15.8 sec
Speed in 1/4 Mile	101 MPH	89 MPH
Top Speed	150 MPH	118 MPH

Fuel Economy and Range

Both the GV80 Coupe and Venza have a standard automatic start/stop engine feature to stop unnecessary fuel waste and pollution at stoplights and heavy traffic. The GV80 Coupe has a standard disable switch for the system, so a driver can keep the engine from shutting off when the vehicle stops temporarily.

The GV80 Coupe has 6.6 gallons more fuel capacity than the Venza (21.1 vs. 14.5 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the GV80 Coupe’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Venza:

	GV80 Coupe	Venza
Front Rotors	14.9 inches	12 inches
Rear Rotors	14.2 inches	11.1 inches

The GV80 Coupe’s standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading. The rear discs on the Venza are solid, not vented.

The GV80 Coupe stops shorter than the Venza:

	GV80 Coupe	Venza
70 to 0 MPH	175 feet	179 feet	Car and Driver
60 to 0 MPH	118 feet	121 feet	Motor Trend

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the GV80 Coupe has larger tires than the Venza (265/50R20 vs. 225/60R18).

The GV80 Coupe’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 50 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Venza LE’s standard 60 series tires. The GV80 Coupe’s optional tires have a lower 40 series profile than the Venza XLE/Nightshade/Limited’s 55 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the GV80 Coupe has standard 20-inch wheels. Smaller 18-inch wheels are standard on the Venza LE. The GV80 Coupe’s optional 22-inch wheels are larger than the 19-inch wheels on the Venza XLE/Nightshade/Limited.

Suspension and Handling

The GV80 Coupe has a standard driver-adjustable suspension system. It allows the driver to choose between an extra-supple ride, reducing fatigue on long trips, or a sport setting, which allows maximum control for tricky roads or off-road. The Venza’s suspension doesn’t offer adjustable shock absorbers.

The GV80 Coupe has vehicle speed sensitive variable-assist power steering, for low-effort parking, better control at highway speeds and during hard cornering, and a better feel of the road. The Venza doesn’t offer variable-assist power steering.

The GV80 Coupe’s drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The Venza doesn’t offer drift compensation steering.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the GV80 Coupe’s wheelbase is 10.4 inches longer than on the Venza (116.3 inches vs. 105.9 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the GV80 Coupe is 2.9 inches wider in the front and 2.7 inches wider in the rear than on the Venza.

The GV80 3.5 e-Supercharger handles at .81 G’s, while the Venza Limited pulls only .79 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The GV80 3.5 e-Supercharger executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver quicker than the Venza Limited (27.2 seconds @ .66 average G’s vs. 27.7 seconds @ .62 average G’s).

Chassis

The GV80 Coupe uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Venza doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

Passenger Space

The GV80 Coupe has 10.4 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Venza (108.7 vs. 98.3).

The GV80 Coupe has 1.6 inches more front headroom, .7 inches more front legroom, 2.3 inches more front hip room, 3.2 inches more front shoulder room, .9 inches more rear legroom, 11 inches more rear hip room and .9 inches more rear shoulder room than the Venza.

Cargo Capacity

The GV80 Coupe has a larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the Venza with its rear seat up (29.3 vs. 28.8 cubic feet). The GV80 Coupe has a larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the Venza with its rear seat folded (61.1 vs. 55.1 cubic feet).

A low lift-over cargo hatch design makes loading and unloading the GV80 Coupe easier. The GV80 Coupe’s cargo hatch lift-over height is 31.6 inches, while the Venza’s liftover is 32.9 inches.

Pressing a button automatically lowers or raises the GV80 Coupe’s rear seats, to make changing between cargo and passengers easier. The Venza doesn’t offer automatic folding seats.

Towing

The GV80 Coupe has a 6000 lbs. towing capacity. The Venza has no towing capacity.

Servicing Ease

The GV80 Coupe uses gas struts to support the hood for easier service access. The Venza uses a prop rod to support its heavy hood. It takes two hands to open the hood and set the prop rod, the prop rod gets in the way during maintenance and service, and the prop rod could be knocked out, causing the heavy hood to fall on the person maintaining or servicing the car.

The engine in the GV80 Coupe is mounted longitudinally (North-South), instead of sideways, as in the Venza. This makes it easier to service and maintain, because the accessory belts are in front.

Ergonomics

The GV80 Coupe’s standard Proximity Key allows you to unlock the doors from any outside door handle, open the cargo door, and start the engine, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse. Smart Key System standard on the Venza doesn’t offer a sensor on the rear doors, so you’ll have to reach a front handle to unlock the rear door. Smart Key System is not available on the Venza XLE/Nightshade/Limited.

The GV80 Coupe’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Venza’s standard manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.

Manual rear side window sunshades are available in the GV80 Coupe to help block heat and glare for the rear passengers. The Venza doesn’t offer rear side window sunshades.

When the GV80 Coupe is put in reverse, both rearview mirrors tilt from their original position. This gives the driver a better view of the curb during parallel parking maneuvers. Shifting out of reverse puts the mirrors into their original positions. The Venza’s mirrors don’t automatically adjust for backing.

The GV80 Coupe’s standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Venza offers an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.

The GV80 Coupe has standard heated front seats. Heated front seats are only available on the Venza XLE/Nightshade/Limited. The GV80 Coupe also has standard heated rear seats to keep those passengers extremely comfortable in the winter. Heated rear seats aren’t available in the Venza.

Standard air conditioned seats in the front and rear seats keep the GV80 Coupe’s passengers comfortable and take the sting out of hot leather in summer. The Venza doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats in the rear.

The GV80 Coupe has a standard heated steering wheel to take the chill out of steering on extremely cold winter days before the vehicle heater warms up. A heated steering wheel is only available on the Venza Limited.

The GV80 Coupe has standard massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the Venza.

The Genesis GV80 Coupe has a standard Homelink wireless remote control system for garage door operation and device management, conveniently located on the rear view mirror. Homelink® eliminates the need for separate garage door openers and associated risks of losing, breaking, or having dead batteries. Homelink® is only available on the Venza XLE/Nightshade/Limited.

The GV80 Coupe has a 115-volt a/c outlet on the center console, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The Venza doesn’t offer a house-current electrical outlet.

The GV80 Coupe’s Smart Parking Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. Remote Smart Parking Assist will park and retrieve your car remotely: press a button and watch it park itself. This is ideal for tight locations. The Venza doesn’t offer an automated parking system.
