Buying Tips for 2022 Genesis GV80
- ✓Test the air suspension system (if fitted) to ensure it raises and lowers the heavy vehicle smoothly without compressor whine.
- ✓Check the operation of the active noise cancellation system by listening for any unusual booming sounds in the cabin.
- ✓Inspect the massive 22-inch alloy wheels (on higher specs) for damage, as replacement tyres are exceptionally expensive.
- ✓Verify the functionality of the "Ergo Motion" massaging driver's seat, ensuring all pneumatic bladders inflate correctly.
- ✓Ensure the power-folding third-row seats (on 7-seat models) operate smoothly without jamming.
- ✓Check for complete service history; the Genesis 5-year Care Plan requires strict adherence to maintain the warranty.
