The GV80 has always been one of the best cars I've seen. It's incredibly impressive what they managed to pack in here, especially now with that facelift. My only major complaint, the steering wheel, has been fixed, and looks incredible now. That giant screen also looks insane. Genesis has been COOKING recently, I sincerely hope they don't fail and become a mainstream company, because the main deterrent against Genesis has always been "it's just a Hyundai", but this car, especially now, proves it isn't just a Hyundai. I like that Genesis is switching to Bang & Olufsen. We'll wait for Charlie's opinion on it, see if it's better than the Lexicon. Great video man, congrats on 50k, you really deserve it.
Any genesis model, including the original equus model and hyundai branded genesis model has always been quite bespoke. They rarely would even share switch gear. Main thing they would share is the infotainment but like the engines have mostly been bespoke. Sure the K900 and Stinger exist but the platoform was designed for genesis branded models first. People say its "just a hyundai" because they assume its like Lexus, Acura, and Infiniti who mostly just rebrand models from the mainstream brands. Genesis has never really done that. That is one reason why they are actually reliable unlike the germans and even their own hyundai/kia brands who had issues with the 2.4/2.0T engines. They always used the 3.8 v6, 4.6 v8, and 5.0 v8. Now the 2.0T in the genesis coupe was meh.
@@ayushmalpeddi2793 I barely consider the Genesis coupe an actual Genesis model. It didn't have anything that was considered luxury to be considered a Genesis. It might have had the badge but it didn't have the soul.
@@TheUnreadableUser bespoke chassis, and engine/manual trans were not in other models. I agree it didn't feel like a modern genesis or really luxurious, but it definitely wasn't just a rebadged Hyundai is my point. It was about as nice as a acura, infiniti or buick for its time though.
@@ayushmalpeddi2793 I agree
Yall, are the most informative chatters i've ever seen-
While the single screen gauge cluster/infotainment is better than a lot of brands, literally EVERY car is doing that now, I much more prefer the craftsmanship and design of the previous refresh. It use to look so much more unique, unfortunate to see that brands can’t be creative anymore. Great video as always, love all your vids man!!
i absolutely despise this tablet look. it's such a cheap lazy half ass effort. not to mention it's a cost cutting measure that people don't realise. no need for designs, craftmanship, button etc... just a tablet and some apps
The big screen looks aftermarket. Doesn't flow with the aesthetics of the rest of the vehicle. 2024 looks classier to me.
동의합니다.
Not Genesis , luxurious Hyundai
이전 인테리어가 더 좋았어요
I used to live in Incheon and they used to test drove these sometimes near university areas. The first sight in matt green was just jaw dropping. This is right on top of the list when comes to looks and interior.
It’s so refreshing seeing practically no piano black trim.
Mazda also has no black trim. Love it
@@Rockybalboa541 some do, but it’s not a lot. Mazdas are hot. I’m just getting into one now for work lol
The best Asian luxury suv on sale
lexus ftw
THIS suv is better than bmws and german cars
@@hx.925 I would happily take this over one of those outdated Lexus SUV
@@DeeTofa if it aint broke dont fix it
QX80 >>>
This car deserves the word “luxury”.
Love the sound of the signal
That 🪳 spinning 😂
Can you ask them to change their turn signal sound also? The dripping faucet, high-pitched one that all the Kia/Hyundai products seem to use is maddening to me.
I prefer the older dashboard. This one looks so much more generic
11:37 made me spit my coffee omfg
it confuses me why some kia/hyundai/genesis cars still dont have wireless carplay. They were some of the first brands to offer carplay when it came out like 10 years ago, you'd think them being the first ones would give them a headstart to also have wireless carplay before everyone else, but it is the opposite, almost everyone else has wireless carplay and these dont.
Great looking SUV, I would definitely take a look at the GV80 before considering a higher end brand.
Very much enjoyed your review! Would there be a big difference from the 2.5T 4 cyl vs 3.5T 6 cyl?
Much better gas mileage with the 2.5!
I’ve had mine for about 3 weeks and averaged near 26 mpg on interstate driving 75+ mph.
There is a July 2024 software update that enables wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Pls genesis can you hide that rear wiper....it looks outdated with that rear wiper showing. Range rover sport hides their reat wiper inside the rear spoiler
That display to center console ratio looks weird
Plzzz review 2024 lexus 550 luxury plus plzzzz 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good luck and the best wishes for everyone. Thanks friends.
Hyundai Kia EVs are light years ahead of BMW BENZ and AUDI. Hyundai Kia are the new Toyota Honda
14 mpg is HORRIBLE
I would never choose a Korean car when buying a luxury car.
Naa looks outdated
Wireless CarPlay is coming in a fall OTA update for the 2025
this gotta be the best looking suv on sale rn
RX
Nahhh 😁@@hjlnbi
@@hjlnbiRX looks better than the gv80!?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@hjlnbi you're kidding, right?
@@hjlnbi Hell no
such a nice looking SUV. genesis models have such a nice look to them inside and out
agreed. absolutely gorgeous
That steering wheel is one of the best I've seen.
I'm gonna be honest, that single ultrawide screen shared between the gauges and infotainment is such a cool piece of cost-cutting
I feel bad for the people taking these cars home man, people deserve better,
Why? @@khdude_
@@khdude_why?
talking out of their a** as usual. I bet the person prefers GLA or GLE. Shinny craps, but hey, it's a Benz.
it's not cost cutting, screen like that is custom and way more expensive.
That bug was break dancing when he was spinning
Really nice to actually someone someone actually using a full-size screen, instead of a big glass panel but with obvious bezels. I would prefer an actual dash as opposed to a tacked-on screen, but at least Genesis is taking advantage of it. Also I you made a video of the 2024 QX80 a little while ago. The 2025 is a complete refresh and would be great to see you review it once it hits dealer lots.
This is the first single screen dash I actually like. That dynamic sky background is neat!
I really enjoy your videos brother, talking in detail and acknowledging that this is a proper luxury SUV, in some ways for example quality of the interior exceeds many luxury brands.
No wireless CarPlay is all I need to hear. Can buy a shitbox for 40k less that does wireless CarPlay and android auto. Hopefully in 2026 model
Why do Americans demand lighter than already light steering? Did they all turn gay or just plain millennials and gen z? Anyone?
thank god they rid of that old wheel...
Great review. You covered everything that anybody needs to know about this vehicle. This is a great review.
No wireless car play in an $80k vehicle? Huh? I will pass.
Can maps, especially apple or Google maps fill the whole screen or at least, show up on driver side of the screen?
Great review.
What’s up with American people saying going on holiday lol. It’s vacation!!!
Seat color with the matching headliner 🥵🥵
Moving from an Infiniti G to a Sonata NLine last year and being pleased has given me my full attention to the Hyundai group; was heavily considering leasing a GV70 Sport in the fall for my Mrs yet seriously considering the GV80 Coupé instead when it drops in this market - honestly the luxury SUV value proposition in terms of features and hp-to-dollar can’t be beat compared the the German makes, plus its unique aesthetics are refreshing in the sea of SUVs that all look similar.
Also, that bug breakdancing on the hood looks cool …
The old interior looked much nicer than that ugly off center tacked on screen.
"off center", well of it wasnt it would be like a model 3, wouldn't it? That single pane screen looks incredible
looking much better now!
Beautiful inside ❤
Thank you for the awesome review! In your opinion, is there a difference in ride quality and noise between 2.5 vs 3.5 engine prestige?
V4 vs v6
That's the difference
V4 have turbos to help with the weight
Anyone else think the older GV has way better interiors?
Yes, I prefer the older interior with the 3D gauge cluster but the new steering wheel is much better.
I do..l think having the long screen blocks some of the beauty of the dashboard. Additionally, it looks tacked on..As far as the steering wheel, I actually like the old one. The new steering wheel looks like almost every other one out there.
I don't, actually. The infotainment is a lot closer to the driver, the screen is higher quality as there is no 3D, steering wheel is a lot better, sound system is better, wireless car play (later in 25), bigger infotainment, etc. general quality of life improvements that look and feel better.
I never liked Genesis, always felt like a knock off brand. This video came in my feed so figured I'd see what it's about and maybe change my mind. Nope, definitely not for me. But dont let that yuck your yum! Enjoy your Genesis!
The stick on dash will just never grow on me *sigh*
I think the older interior will age better.
I was the same. Go see one in person, I think you’ll like it.
@@Bash-Toks unfortunately I have, just not really a fan. I love the artistic dashboards, not so much just a flat design with a screen stuck to it
We have 800 miles on our 2025 GV80. It’s a real pleasure to drive. We have owned vehicles much more expensive… This is a really fine luxury car.
I think the lane assist is too aggressive, so I keep it turned off.
I’ve been trying to find out information on how to add a spare tire kit. I know that the trunk compartment storage tray comes out… To allow for a spare, And I see them online for sale… But I don’t know what size temporary tire kit it needs. The biggest one I can find is a 19 inch… I’m not sure if that would be suitable since this vehicle has 22 inch wheels.
The old ford expedition steering wheel 😆
Right.
That's the only thing I don't like
It reminds me of a Ford Taurus the older versions
Probably the nicest luxury 3 row suv for the money. You’re just always going to question that Hyundai reliability 😬
Edit: Lease it
they really need to change that turn signal sound, reminds me too much of Hyundai and Kia...
Own that exact spec got first one in Colorado love it 2nd one I’ve owned
Bro would you consider making another channel or something and uploading some longer edits? As someone who loves your road trip videos, I'd love to see the thoughts you say at the end would make it an hour long video. More content and longer content from you would always do well
Beautiful car! However, some cheap things I'd like them to address, for example the chimes, the signal clicks sound like a toy, just like their cheap Elantras. The immersive screen is beautiful but so much space is wasted, they could've shown much more info at the same time. Dial shift is something i still can't get used to.
Is it possible the screen can be in dark or light mode or it turns into dark mode during the night and light during the day. Can that be customized
Interior is impressive as ususal with anything Genesis. I still like the dual tailpipe setup and the singular diamond style grill from the previous models better though.
16mpg? Might as well just get a twin turbo V8.
Genesis really does beautiful interiors. I don’t like the rear end of the GV80 but do like the GV70
Not a fan of the new interior design, starting to look like every other car out there with the big screen/gauge cluster combo and other changes
한국에서 매우 흔하게 보이는 차입니다.
how about the self parking feature? could you please demonstrate that?
Hell nah, the old one was way better. What is this interior? What is that screen? Horrendous.
Power is WEAK for $84K
Great looking automobile.
The shifter and infotainment dials being right next to each other really bothers me.
That monitor needs to be wider... maybe they can make it meld into the side mirrors?
Too much chrome for me. Some of it looks like Pep Boys stick-ons.
Steering wheel fixed, excellent refresh all around and then they make the interior GREEN or BLUE?? What an epic fail when the rest of the car is a complete slam dunk, home run, best 5-figure car out there.
I really wanted to buy one of these this year. now I'm waiting to see what interior color choices we have for '26
Nice car.
Still patiently waiting for the coupe version!! C'mon Genesis...
Google it 😉
I think when the motor sounds is lovely, really.
No wireless apple car play in 2024? Bruh…
Genesis cars would be great if they had better engines...
That 27-inch screen is honestly really neat. Sure beats the threaded screen that most manufacturers do with the giant black bezels. It does look quite premium I have to say. Genesis just does some of the best technology implementation of any luxury brand right now. Also the bug spinning had me
Currently rocking with 2021 G70 3.3T sport prestige. The value and performance for money is just unbelievable and reliable 3.3T engine is a joy. Definitely staying within genesis brand
"Curently rocking" Sad sounds like a suspension issue among others!
You could take off the badges and if you told 20 people on the street that this was the new $250k Bentley Bentayga, I bet you many people would believe you. For me, it is THE BEST LOOKING SUV on the road. Super blinged up, but amazing presence. Apparently Genesis is going heavy on Hybrids now so expect a GV80 Hybrid within the next 2 years so I think that will be the sweet spot in the lineup. More Genesis reviews please! Keep up the amazing work.
Almost had me, lost me with the digital gauges. They mess up and you are screwed. Not to mention brightness while driving at night. I’ve seen too many electrical issues/failures with those screens. Other than that, very beautiful ride.
Brilliant car
Everytime I see a Gensis GV80 somehow back of my head two words pop out. Tiger Woods.
Great video, hope I get this one after I pay off my mortgage soon.
Good review…hideous dashboard change 🤮
This might jusr be me only but i don't really like the one giant screen look. It looks more modern but more basic because you can get the same essential look in a Hyunado Kona, Sonata, Santa Fe. I feel like it has lost some of its personality with the refresh, but it does look good tho. I also really like the new steering wheel. Much better than the old 4-spoke
81k and no wireless Apple Car play. That alone is a deal killer, not to mention there is zero prestige for a ridiculously expensive Hundai
Cool the colour of the upholstery.
I moved on after hearing “still no wireless carplay”. Inexcusable. Such a shame because it’s such a beautiful car.
Genesis needs to make spicy versions of their GV line. The competition has more powerful trim options, this is one of the major areas where genesis has fallen behind.
IDC what nobody says the SUV is gorgeous looks better than any of the Germans offering
Sound system is not as good as I would like
So I just bought a “2024”…the new 2025 27”Display is Very Distracting!!!!!!
What is the rating on MPG for this car?
the screen is nice but the old center console looked way more luxurious , especially the covered cup holders 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
Really nice exterior, and the interior?
Well, as always with Genesis, it is putting other car brands into shame...
A white man that snaps on the 2 and 4, not the 1 and 3 (i.e. snap/clap on beat) My kind of peoples!
Soft closed doors as a feature? What?
Love it.. Very amazing vehicle but please remap the sound of that turn signal. . That alone would bother me after awhile
The infotainment system looks closer, that's a plus. The older ones looked like you had to stretch to reach it
That chrome side is going to be a nightmare with chips and it's only a matter of time... I hate it lol
So pleased to see they got rid of the football steering wheel, that thing was hideous!
Genesis is killing it.
The infotainment screen looks a little off....Should've moved it a little more to the left....
I like that the throttle isn't super sensitive -- most cars have a way too aggressive tip-in.
