I sat in the new G70 and was pleasantly surprised with the interior materials. The switchgear was lacking, but the GV80 looks to fix that, however you've sat in the vehicle and I haven't so I guess I'll have to wait and see.
I only gave the Audi example because BMW & Mercedes weren't at the auto show. So Audi was the comparison point by default. Otherwise I do find BMW/Mercedes interiors to be nicer than Audi. My G05's interior is nicer than any of the cars I sat in at the auto show (Including the Navigator). I'm biased of course.

Yeah G70, and GV80 in this case, both have great interiors for the price. I'm simply making the point that you're not just paying a premium for the brand when you get up into the German luxury brands, there is an actual, noticeable difference in the quality. I suppose I shouldn't say the GV80 uses "lower grade" materials, but rather, not as high grade as what you'd find in the Germans.
