The Mazda CX-60 (which is the same under the skin as the CX-80) was launched in 2022 so there hasn't been enough time to establish how reliable or otherwise it is.
Likewise, Genesis has only existed in the UK since the same year, so again, no real info on reliability here. But Genesis has existed as a brand since about 2016, so if you were to try looking on forums or websites based in countries where they have been on sale that long, you may get useful info.
A couple of general points though, re Genesis customer service, s you've ad a test drive you have presumably had some experience of it?. But as Genesis is a halo brand for Hyundai/Kia, I'd expect the customer service to be above par to tempt the badge snobs out of their Mercs/Beemers and Audi's. While Nissan's Infiniti brand didn't last in the UK, I do remember reading that the customer service was exceptional for pretty much the reason I suggested (not that it helped in Infiniti's case).
Mazda has always been great with me and I know there reliable.
Re the above, you don't know that a CX-60 or CX-80 will be reliable. The reliability of Mazda's in relatively recent times have been dependant on them being powered by a n/a petrol engine. The 2.2 diesel has a poor reputation by comparison (though anecdotal evidence suggests they are fine if used in a manner suitable and appropriate for diesel), so I certainly wouldn't assume the 3.3 (as interesting as it sounds) to be reliable. And while the 2.5 petrol is presumably the existing and reliable 4 pot used in various other Mazda models, in this case it is a hybrid, so who knows?.
As I discovered not that long ago (and to my disappointment as a long-term [18y] Mazda3 owner), the previous diesel-related issues have, to some degree, been replaced with electrical gremlins on the latest range of cars, especially on the upper spec models which have more gadgets.
Problems on the previous gen cars (2013-19) in this regard started appearing a few years ago, though not to the same degree as the latest ones - I recall a good number of complaints about power door mirrors.
The Skyactiv G and X petrol engines themselves appear to be reliable. As regards dealerships, I suspect that Hyundai are overall better (also the longer / better warranty helps), but if the OP has found a well-run dealership local to them, then that would make a huge difference post-sales.
In my experience from the (now sadly gone) Mazda3 owners' forum, Mazda dealerships - at least from a post-sales perspective, are rather hit and miss, rather like Ford, Vauxhall, etc.
The problem the OP will have as regards trying to find useful (and representative) data on CX-60 ownership is that I doubt if Mazda will sell many in the UK, at least compared to the CX-5, CX-30 and especially cars from other brands.
Both cars likely share a reasonable number of under-the-skin components (or variants of) with stablemates, although not in combination, plus the cars' large size (and large, low profile tyres) may affect the ride and handling ability.
The GV-80 looks to be Hyundai's attempt at a Porsche /Audi SUV clone. Worth the OP check both HJ reviews for the CX-60 and GV-80 as well as similar cars that they may not have considered, including smaller stablemates of both.
Note also that they could be quite expensive to insure. Decent length test drives on a wide variety of speeds, road types and surface quality would be in order. I've seen many locals PX their bling-bling SUVs with 'rubber band' 20in+ tyres after finding out they aren't so comfy away from smooth tarmac, plus the probable eye-watering running costs associated with (more) regularly needing to replace very expensive tyres, alloys and suspension parts.
