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 V60 Cross Country’s standard 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 V60 Cross Country. The GV80 Coupe’s optional 22-inch wheels are larger than the 20-inch wheels optional on the V60 Cross Country.

Suspension and Handling

The GV80 Coupe has standard front and rear gas-charged shocks for better control over choppy roads. The V60 Cross Country’s suspension doesn’t offer gas-charged shocks.

The front and rear suspension of the GV80 Coupe uses coil springs for better ride, handling and control than the V60 Cross Country, which uses transverse leafs springs in the rear. Coil springs compress more progressively and offer more suspension travel for a smoother ride with less bottoming out.

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 V60 Cross Country’s suspension doesn’t offer adjustable shock absorbers.

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 V60 Cross Country doesn’t offer drift compensation steering.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the GV80 Coupe’s wheelbase is 3.1 inches longer than on the V60 Cross Country (116.3 inches vs. 113.2 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the GV80 Coupe is 1.2 inches wider in the front and 2.3 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the V60 Cross Country.

For greater off-road capability the GV80 Coupe has a greater minimum ground clearance than the V60 Cross Country (8.1 vs. 7.8 inches), allowing the GV80 Coupe to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.

Chassis

The front grille of the GV80 Coupe uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The V60 Cross Country doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

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 V60 Cross Country doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

Passenger Space

The GV80 Coupe has 14.7 cubic feet more passenger volume than the V60 Cross Country (108.7 vs. 94).

The GV80 Coupe has 2.8 inches more front headroom, 1.4 inches more front hip room, 4.5 inches more front shoulder room, 3.5 inches more rear legroom, 2.8 inches more rear hip room and 3.3 inches more rear shoulder room than the V60 Cross Country.

For enhanced passenger comfort on long trips the GV80 Coupe’s rear seats recline. The V60 Cross Country’s rear seats don’t recline.

Cargo Capacity

The GV80 Coupe has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the V60 Cross Country with its rear seat up (29.3 vs. 23.2 cubic feet). The GV80 Coupe has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the V60 Cross Country with its rear seat folded (61.1 vs. 60.5 cubic feet).

Pressing a button automatically lowers or raises the GV80 Coupe’s rear seats, to make changing between cargo and passengers easier. The V60 Cross Country doesn’t offer automatic folding seats.

Towing

The GV80 Coupe’s standard towing capacity is much higher than the V60 Cross Country’s (6000 vs. 2000 pounds).

Servicing Ease

The engine in the GV80 Coupe is mounted longitudinally (North-South), instead of sideways, as in the V60 Cross Country. This makes it easier to service and maintain, because the accessory belts are in front.

Ergonomics

The GV80 Coupe’s standard easy entry system raises the steering wheel and glides the driver’s seat back, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The V60 Cross Country doesn’t offer an easy entry system.

To shield the driver and front passenger’s vision over a larger portion of the windshield and side windows, the GV80 Coupe has standard extendable sun visors. The V60 Cross Country doesn’t offer extendable visors.

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 V60 Cross Country 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 costs extra on the V60 Cross Country.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Genesis GV80 has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Wireless charging costs extra on the V60 Cross Country.

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 V60 Cross Country 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 V60 Cross Country doesn’t offer an automated parking system.
