I'm buying this vehicle. it is so beautiful and so much attention to detail. I currently drive a 2016 Hyundai sonata limited with all the bells and whistle and the koreans are killing it.
@@Brayant25 Bro...I am behind with you...I had the 2010 Hyundai 4.6 then the 5.0 and got into a a 2018 Elantra for the mean time til this Diamond comes out. I got my deposit already down and waiting. The HELL!!! what others think...I like!! What I Like!!
Me too! Paid my $1,000 deposit in January or February of this year. We were supposed to get a special viewing at the Auto Show here in April but it was cancelled due to this Covid-19 nonsense. I truly cannot wait to see it! We got a fully loaded model.
I think it has more to do with just how efficiently setup Hyundai is as a company. I mean they even own the plant that makes the steel for their structures. You have to be working stupid hard to compete with that as any other manufacturer in the car game, and that's before any other factors come into play.
Brian given this perspective, what luxury trimmed SUV would you think is not overpriced? I have long avoided SUVs because I think they are a worse deal in terms of performance and interior volume. Of course I drive luxury barges with V8s. I would probably take this over an X5 and that’s a lot more. I’ve priced out a GLE and it’s a lot more. And the reality is that I could get a 3 year old CPO E class or S class for a really fair price. Thoughts?
Brian Aviator will suffer over this with all the recalls and transmission, ac and other issues...why buy an aviator when u could have this beauty AND quality.
Brian unlike Genesis vehicles, Mazda does actually use very nice materials in all their vehicles. It doesn’t just look the part. True luxury vehicles are works of art and are very much worth the price people pay for them.
I think it will take a few more years for Genesis's reputation to build up to truly rival with other luxury brands, but I can tell you for sure, in Korea, Genesis is domination the market(in terms of luxury vehicles)
@@parkm310 Yes.... I have watched enough Asian Petrolhead reviews on the GV80 to know the brand is much larger in Korea than it is here in Canada. He was the first to actually do in-depth reviews of the GV80.
If I had the money, I'd buy one of these. Hyundai/Kia is killing it these days. Anyone remember the Excel? Hard to believe that this is the same company. And I like the steering wheel!
I'd definitely consider this for myself too. I love the Hyundai and Kia I've owed. When I was a child, my sister bought a new 1994 Excel. The last year they sold them in the US. Yes it was a tiny cheap econobox, but we both loved her car. Hyundai quality has improved immensely since then.
The diamond pattern seats, the steering wheel, the chrome switchgear everywhere, the green interior...this looks like an SUV from the 60s, if SUVs had been around in the 60s. I'd probably buy it over a Volvo or Acura but it just seems so OLD already. And all gas engines in 2020 for a brand new vehicle is so out of touch.
@@mrsj1417 it looks nothing like a vehicle from the 60s and to complain that it runs on gas is ridiculous. The vast majority of SUVs in the U.S. run on gas.
And less expensive to fix, even if nothings wrong with it imagine the price of getting routine service done to it. Not only that but imagine the insurance and parts cost of a Rolls Royce.
Of course. I have one with over 100,000 no problem at all and I didn't even take it for schedule maintenance. I should do a transmission oil change now. JD Powers ranking Genesis brand ranked #1

@Allen Portz at my house we have 2 car garage and my father drives 2018 Genesis G80 prior to owning 2016 BMW 535i. My mother drives 2015 Kia Sorento with 90,000 mi. combined use for vacationing. For my daily vehicle is 2016 Toyota Corolla, but I'm planning on buying the new 2021 Hyundai Veloster 8 speed DCT. My father and I work on all the maintenance of our family cars. We had absolutely zero issues on any Korean cars. People can bash on Hyundai's and Kia's all they want. I honestly think it's good priced cars or substitution of Toyotas. I personally think Toyotas are the best made cars other car companies are similar if not same in comparisons to reliability or the longevity. If take good car of your car the car will take care of you. Oh by the way, my sister drives a 2014 Volkswagen Beetle going on 100,000 mi. and its in good condition because we take good TLC.
@@NatureRecycleFlorida Unlikely, even a year old Genesis is still worth more than 20K, and with the Bentley, you get 60k used problem car, but these cars aren't even in the same class. No one would even cross shop a Bentley with a BMW anyway so why would they with Genesis.
@@NatureRecycleFlorida yeah no, the warranty is for 100 k. This is top of its class and if they offered the matte colors that they do in South Korea they would be in the upper-class luxury Vehicles the tech in this vehicle is the best in the game outside of Tesla's semi self-driving vehicle.

Beautiful SUV. It's obvious there is a lot of attention to detail. I appreciate and admire that they are sticking their necks out to be distinctive. The unusual 2-spoke steering wheel and green leather come to mind. It looks bespoke and that says "premium" to me. I do wish they pushed that exterior and interior to look more green though. The subtle hint of green inside and out doesn't look distinctive enough to me. Maybe I'd like it better in person.
WE have had the Hyudai Equus, now have the Genesis G90, have the Palisade Limited and love it. Our son bought a 2019 Sonata and loves it. Chances are we are going to take a very strong look at this Genesis GV80. It's probably going to setting in our garage. Hyundai produces truly quality vehicles.
@qwerty12345470 , Well I may be right because someone copied and paste my exact comment on another RUclips (on Redline Reviews) video on this very suv🤨.
MrRover30 the G90 is a car, ppl aren’t buying cars like they used to. 75k is the fully loaded one. And Lexus, Acura, and Infiniti all started from the bottom. I think Genesis SUV’s will be the starting point. KIA is selling a lot of those Telluride’s. So we’ll see.
My buddy had an 04 Tiburon Tuscany with the Porsche tuned suspension, 6 speed with actual usable gears, and a clarion sound system. All leather with a large sunroof. We used to track that car in the summer and it was a monster. The Koreans just keep improving over time, good for them!
Made it to the Chicago Auto Show before everything was shut down, and Genesis was far and away the most impressive brand. Great review, look forward to driving impressions.
I like how you communicated details as you're talking about each specific component of the car. Other reviewers don't do as good of a job. i.e aluminum volume controls on the steering wheel and more!
I’m really looking forward to seeing these on the road! So far this summer I’ve been seeing G70’s & G80’s (and a few G90’s too, since the new ones have been out quite a bit longer in Canada than in the US) - makes me excited to see this often underrated brand growing
Salaam, I remember in AlexonAutos review, there is about a foot of space in front of the tt V6 before the radiator for straight six and possibly twin turbo v8 engine in the future! I think he said they might be developing that tt v8, you might want to check that!
@@geog5523 5.0 is not tat power full its just 420 hp ND d current 3.5tt is Makin around 375hp so they can use it to make tt I hope but I dnt think so with all these rules ND relugation bcoz they gota see all the markets wats in their profit
I have been traveling to Korea on business for years and have noted several luxury branded cars on the road. No question the Korean car manufactures know how to build a luxury units. So I just ordered a top trim model in Silver. Can’t wait to drive down the highway listening to those 21 speakers.
It’s amazing that they had the guts to come up with a proper rwd platform unlike Volvo, lexus and even GM. The real question though is this or the aviator
Solid review! I’ve watched reviews on this car and no one ever mentioned 21 speakers. Wow! That price is incredible, though people will still buy Mercedes, Audi’s and BMW’s for nearly twice as much depending on the trim.
i think one of the main reasons the genesis doesnt share a platform is due to its factory not actually being the same as hyundai and kia. back in 2010 i was in korea and was able to do a 3 day trip where I toured the hyundai factories and some other places in the area but the genesis factory building was in the same complex but was also completely separate from the factory building the normal hyundais.
I love all current and future genesis models. Genesis is now becoming my favorite auto brand and I love them more and more everyday. The gv80, g70, and g90 are all amazing vehicles, but the g80 to me will always be the centerpiece and principal vehicle of the lineup becuase it set the stage and paved the way for all Genesis vehicles to come🤍 .
The boot opener reminds me of the macan, if not a direct copy of it. I’m seriously considering getting this over the XC-90 for my old folks. It probably doesn’t have an agile handling nor an athletic performance, similar to the XC-90 but what solidify my consideration is its climate control being separate from the infotainment display. Imagine being in your late 60s, driving in the motorway trying to find the controls for the AC buried deep in the infotainment display. It’s the purest form of a sexagenarian technological nightmare. I do hope they have a proper cruise control, similar to the one in Volvos. Thank you for the early review, can’t wait to see a proper review on its driving performance. Cheers.
B. Satrya yeah it was a bit of overkill for Volvo to shove everything in that massive screen. Its okay once you get used to it but it may be a different story for elder folks. Im a korean and tbh i would take Volvo over GV80 any day, but you got some solid points there. Volvo's new but uniform interior doesnt really seem to stand out for flagship vehicles like xc90 and s90
I own a 2012 azera which was part of the luxury line before genesis was its own and when i purchased the car i was in love with the looks and features and this is a 2012! Ive gone to the dealer for dealer only parts while ive owned the vehicle and i look at the cars and im always blown away.
Theres a foot in front of the tt v6 engine before the radiator (AlexonAutos), I wont be surprised if Genesis develops a tt v8 for this thing, they made space for it!
Someone has been watching Doug Demuro videos. I really like the presentation here, and on pretty much all TFL videos. I am REALLY stoked to learn more about this vehicle!
You’ve got it. From the time that Hyundai entered the US market around 1986 with the Excel I could see that their styling influences were always British and it could be seen in many of the earlier Sonata models as well as the Kia Amanti. The new G90 and G80 sedans are the cars Jaguar should be making and this GV80 does evoke thoughts of Bentayga. However were the flavoring of Bentley and Jaguar goes Rolex the Genesis goes Omega. It’s crisp, modern and of a fresh palate.
The only thing I dislike about this is the grille. Genesis has done an extraordinary job on this suv. The attention to detail is way ahead of Lexus and Acura and right on par with the Aviator. Acura has an opportunity with the new MDX to go all out like this vehicle, even though they probably won’t.
Locking differential isn't only for off roading. It helps on ice covered roads to prevent wheelspin. Far more often seen than luxury vehicles actually off roading.

I own a 2012 azera which was part of the luxury line before genesis was its own and when i purchased the car i was in love with the looks and features and this is a 2012! Ive gone to the dealer for dealer only parts while ive owned the vehicle and i look at the cars and im always blown away.
Needs an v8 option.
Theres a foot in front of the tt v6 engine before the radiator (AlexonAutos), I wont be surprised if Genesis develops a tt v8 for this thing, they made space for it!
That color is stunning... the metallic flake is as nice as I've seen
They really want to SEGA GENESIS this car.
SEGA GENESIS!!!!!!!
When you turn on the car it chimes...."Seeeeeegaaaaaa". Lol
Someone has been watching Doug Demuro videos. I really like the presentation here, and on pretty much all TFL videos. I am REALLY stoked to learn more about this vehicle!
Your background view is stunning too.
Finally more RWD powered vehicles! The Lincoln Aviator has some tough competition once this hits dealerships!
You are indeed your fathers son, good job 👍🏽 young man
KIA and Bespoke are two words never thought would hear together..
Everyone think the steering wheel is ugly I think it’s amazing looking really match the inside well that’s my personal opinion
I think the Palisade has more realistic luxury interior. This one just seems a bit overdone to my eyes. Exterior is nice though.
You’ve got it. From the time that Hyundai entered the US market around 1986 with the Excel I could see that their styling influences were always British and it could be seen in many of the earlier Sonata models as well as the Kia Amanti. The new G90 and G80 sedans are the cars Jaguar should be making and this GV80 does evoke thoughts of Bentayga. However were the flavoring of Bentley and Jaguar goes Rolex the Genesis goes Omega. It’s crisp, modern and of a fresh palate.
Hoping and praying that the wife likes the looks of this thing. It would definitely save me a lot of dosh over getting her a loaded Velar.
You don't need your wife's permission to get a car, she ain't your mommy. You like it, you get it.
All I can say is "WELL DONE!" 👍 Okay just one closing question, "Pardon me, do you have any Gray Poupon?" 🤦🏼♂️🤣
The only thing I dislike about this is the grille. Genesis has done an extraordinary job on this suv. The attention to detail is way ahead of Lexus and Acura and right on par with the Aviator. Acura has an opportunity with the new MDX to go all out like this vehicle, even though they probably won’t.
Locking differential isn't only for off roading. It helps on ice covered roads to prevent wheelspin. Far more often seen than luxury vehicles actually off roading.
What a great review. Genesis has come such a LONG way
Wow, I cannot wait for the GV90
The color is 🔥
I think I want a GV80 now after watching this video. 😂
I am shaking here because I know this will be my next car. Hugs from Montreal Canada. I am sending message to the universe. Selling to my mind no my pocket
What exactly does a “snowy village” sound like? LOL 🤷🏻♂️
When it’s 9:53 on the clock and I’m watching it at 9:53 😂
I think the front end is great looking...kinda like the new Lincoln’s but even better.
Good job bro congrats for 300k subs.
