No significant changes for 2021.

Pros Great look Comfortable ride Good touchscreen Handsome interior
Cons Automatic braking not available on all models Limited body colors on base version Spendy Avenir Not very fuel-efficient
Buick's three-row family SUV rolls over to 2021 with only a few tweaks. Premium and Avenir models now come standard with power-adjustable lumbar support for the front seats and a massage feature, while the air ionizer is no longer available. Those two top models also receive a formerly optional package of driver-assistance features—including automated emergency braking and lane-keeping assist—as standard.
Pros Upscale exterior styling, plenty of tech features are standard, large cargo bay.
Cons Down-market interior materials, no standard driver-assists on lower trims, V-6 engine isn't particularly efficient.
The GV80 is a brand-new entrant into the mid-size luxury SUV marketplace. It will go on sale in summer 2020 as a 2021 model.

Cons Cramped third-row passenger space, no diesel engine for the U.S., heavily weighted steering feel.
The gorgeous 2021 Genesis GV80 could pass for a six-figure SUV.
Pros Handsome exterior Sumptuous interior Supremely quiet Roomy rear seats Attention to detail
Cons Console dial confusion Insecure active lane control Infotainment dial Touchscreen distance
The Genesis GV80 is finally on local roads, and it's hard not to be impressed by the new luxury flagship. It's a segment that Genesis needs to succeed in, too.
Pros Choice of engines and match with eight-speed are excellent Execution of the design and the cabin is first-rate Styling provides a real point of difference
Cons Lane-departure system is a little too enthusiastic on country roads Two-spoke steering wheel takes some getting used to Third row is still tight despite the GV80's size
