HERE'S HOW TO ENJOY CHAMPAGNE ON A VAGUELY BEERY BUDGET

Genesis GV80

BABY-BENTLEY LOOKS, KOREAN VALUE FOR MONEY

MOST MODERN luxury cars from prestige brands you wouldn't want without a warranty, which is why we recommend a vehicle big on value, big on luxury, and one safe for those who want to own it for the long-term: the Genesis GV80.

While it can't compete with the Germans for ultimate brand prestige, nor is its interior quite as fine, it's still a very pleasing place to be an SUV that tries hard to make you feel spoiled.

Used examples can be had for around $90,000 with a bit of new-car warranty remaining, which might seem a lot, but by luxury car standards, it's a bargain.

With tonnes of space, we especially like the twin-turbo V6 and recommend one with the optional Luxury Package - granting equipment such as Nappa leather trim, soft-close doors, suede headlining and a driver's massage seat.
