The fact that they refuse to have dealerships and the display centres they have don’t include several capital cities is enough reason for them not to sell as well. For this money I want to be able to go to a dealership if I have issues or questions or simply to buy one. It’s madness. Sack the mental giant who has come up with this strategy and it would be one way to sell more than a few a year.
As a second comment I cannot avoid noticing the value proposition that genesis represents. It oozes quality and fit out and am sure it will make purchases very happy. The styling and design would not look out of place on a Bentley showroom. The greatest concern I suspect as per my previous comment is the resale value however if that’s not a problem then I suspect this could be the perfect choice for many.
Wait a year or 2 and buy it at a third less. Great value. If you have owned a German / European machine, you will understand the maintenance cost involved. If you haven't, you don't want to find out. I've had them and nearly ruined my life. Its not the money you save buying it. Its the money you save owning it.
Beautiful it may be but that pricing is ludicrous. It should be $85k and be marketed properly and it would be selling. It might be a BMW or Mercedes “competitor” but that doesn’t mean it can charge those prices. That’s laughable. Beautiful car though
Turn my car in on January 6, and until today, January 31, I still haven't received my vehicle for a AC that wasn't working. I am now creating a RUclips video based on my experience and it seems like everyone else is having similar experiences with the service department. I hope more people understand what this brand is truly about. They are not doing a great job and I recommend that you stay away from this brand. I also don't see my previous comments so this means they have deleted them
I think the "RIP (most famous rival)" in your video titles is overused. After searching the "RIP" term in your video history, SO many came up, time for a new angle!
I have to say, internally is very nice, love the interior, dashboard and seats externally, the design is fugly! trying to hard to look like a Bentley Bentayga rear and side profile. So the real question comes along with everyone who can afford this kinda $$$ Is it worth it? is it reliable? is it fast, comfortable? how is the quality build? what is the resale value? for this kinda of money I would buy a German, if I was going for bang for buck then I would buy the RX Lexus hands down. The problem i see here is, is still using a Kia/Hyundai engine, some parts and add on is shared with Kia/Hyundai so is hard to justify the price. Safety system is poorly tuned like the chinese cars The Brand name does not carry the price tag, if this was 80k maybe people would consider. X5 any day boys actually this is more of an X6
For this kind of money you can’t buy a comparable German mate. Not even close. Talking about resale value and then talking about German cars immediately after is a little funny. The RX Lexus is not even close to how good this car is luxury wise.
Bs. Been driving all Hyundai and Genesis and they are still far behind German and Japanese manufacturers in terms of quality. Alone all the transmission issues they have... Ridiculous to state rip bmw
A $136k Hyundai? That's a lot, no wonder they aren't selling! You could get something way more upscale for just a little extra, with better resale, too. Apart from the price and brand, it's a sweet ride.
This car is 80k is the USA. My wife’s came out to 88k after everything. Beautiful car, shitty gas mileage. When I drive her GV80 Coupe heads turn. Reminds me of years back when I got my Tesla, they weren’t as ubiquitous so people stared incessantly.
Genesis will go the same way as Infiniti. Why? 1. Hyundai doesn't know how to style a car (Kia does) 2. Hyundai is not as reliable/quality as Toyota/Lexus 3. The Chinese are going to destroy most car companies in the next 5 years.
Unpopular opinion but I don’t think it looks that good. It’s acceptable but nothing special. And that winged logo looks like a cheap knockoff of the Bentley or Aston Martin logos.
The 7X also looks exactly like every other Chinese EV SUV inside: Big screen with all controls un-intuitively hidden in the menus and no buttons - Gee, groundbreaking.
I genuinely do not understand how CarSauce has just 149k subs. For the content these guys keep whipping out they should be in the millions.
135 thousand plus on road cost is the reason it’s not selling
It ain’t cheap for sure, but still more affordable than its direct competition
Idiot car manufacturers think we all have an endless money supply
this is better than the equivalent Mercedes or BMW or Audi, and costs less than either.
Better value over a BMW or Mercades needs better marketing

This reminds me....must watch my Abbott and Costello DVDs again 😅
Why did you say R.I.P. BMW X5? The SUV version of the GV80 goes up against the X5. This one goes up against the BMW X6.

Sad the Aussie model doesn't get the e-supercharger that makes 409hp! Love to hear your thoughts on the fl GV70. Loving mine
Good afternoon guys. Can you review a lc76 series , base fortuner and base prado together as they are close in price and maybe a gx lc 300

Nice haircut, brother Matt.
Sorry, dont know much about Genesis. Are they more mechanically reliable long term compared to BMW and Audi?
Genesis is Hyundai Lexus it's much more reliable than the euros
I think you may want to look up the term 'trimester'...
Is it better than BMW X5? No! BMW X5 is better! I prefer BMW

I was looking at this car recently.. But how do you own a 2025 model for 8-9 months, when we are still in Jan 2025?? Am I missing something?
Model Years always predate the actual year.
Mahindra xev 9 e and mahindra be 6 pls
I'll wait for the Tiger Woods special edition.
X5 with same rated horse power gets better city mileage than this gets on the highway. This is shiny and unrefined.

Red seat belts are just silly.
Nah, I rather have a 5 series touring!
Nice car butt its too damn slow😢
Steel capped boots look out of place in the Genesis!
Bs. Been driving all Hyundai and Genesis and they are still far behind German and Japanese manufacturers in terms of quality. Alone all the transmission issues they have... Ridiculous to state rip bmw
135k for that? thats a lol
Genesis are better than any of their competitors - the interiors feel like a full class above the others
Resale value is a major problem
A $136k Hyundai? That's a lot, no wonder they aren't selling! You could get something way more upscale for just a little extra, with better resale, too. Apart from the price and brand, it's a sweet ride.
Go sit in one
Oh, a Lexus... Wait that is just an expensive Toyota! /sarcasm

pimping
Emissions garbage
RIP X5 🙄 Clickbait garbage
Hey Daddy Mat and Daddy Jacob.
1111
Please stop with the R.I.P
They can’t, nerds lack imagination.
RIP MUST RIP
CarSauce doesn't title their video "RIP [insert competitor model]?" challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]

good thing hyundai doesn’t design genesis
no it won't. Nobody said anything good about Infiniti. Every Genesis owner raves about how good their Genesis is.
First!
Unpopular opinion but I don’t think it looks that good. It’s acceptable but nothing special. And that winged logo looks like a cheap knockoff of the Bentley or Aston Martin logos.
To be fair many many cars have used the winged logo,, check it out of google.
That car isn’t selling cos it’s so MEH!!
Rather an X5 any day of the week
Way too exxy and back looks ugly as, plus I’m going to buy a chines zeekr x7 for half the price and it’s faster and just as luxurious 🎉
LOL... you are from the marketing department of Zeekr... nice try.
