$60,500 · Crossover

$79,950 · Crossover

Comparison Overview

Struggling to choose between refined luxury and thrilling performance? The 2025 Audi Q7 starts at a much more accessible $60,500 compared to the Genesis GV80 Coupe's steep $79,950 entry point. This nearly $19,450 difference immediately sets the tone for two very different priorities. While the Audi offers a respectable 261 hp and 22 MPG combined efficiency, the GV80 Coupe leans heavily into power, boasting 375 hp and significantly quicker acceleration (though it requires premium fuel, recommended). Dimensionally, they are close; the Q7 is slightly longer at 199.3 inches, but the GV80 Coupe sacrifices practicality, showing a minimal 14.2 cu ft cargo capacity (assuming this is the rear figure, as Coupe typically limits space) while the Q7 offers a more usable volume for daily hauling. The Q7 prioritizes efficiency and upfront cost savings for the typical driver.
