Love my 2019 Genesis G80 Sport with 85k on the clock. Purchased it new and had zero issues except for a few recalls. Just don’t ask me about the dealership experience. That is a completely different experience
@@jovaniortiz8317they sell through Hyundai dealerships so they don’t give a crap about customers as well as traditional exclusive luxury car dealerships
I own this exact model with the 3.5. And I can definitely say this is a comfortable and quiet ride. I wouldn’t recommend changing drive modes while driving because the transmission acts a little funky for a second. This is my 3rd one and my wife and I purchased the same one matching one red interior and the other black interior would recommend and the warranty is perfect if you’re the first owner. Lifetime on engine and transmission 3 years maintenance and complimentary pick up and drop off from where you are or from home with a loaner. And much more
In Korea this car is available with a full rear seat package that has cooling functions. Makes sense, considering that these cars are chauffeur driven there.
chauffeur driven cars are G90s. KDM cars typically has more features. Even the Elantra N (Avante N) KDM comes with cooled sears and full suite of highway driving assistance
I like the new Genesis badging on the steering wheel. It should be good for an additional 5 hp. Guess it's not too bad reviewing vehicles when you get a message out of it. Good overall review.
Thanks for the excellent review as always! We are just waiting for a Tasman Blue with black interior to arrive. Not too many 2025’s yet where we live. I think the wheels will need to be upgraded soon after purchase though.
That backseat armrest just surprised the hell outta me. I don't know why the luxury brands can't make them right. It's not even expensive to make, yet, they still don't give you nice armrests unless you're paying $80k.
There was a time when changing the headlight/rearlight bulb was a 2 min job. Good luck figuring out how to remove any of them, and how much this LED sets will cost you.
As a hater of all things SUV, I'm just glad sedans are still offered. The exterior surface execution is absolutely exquisite! The interior would have been perfect with a regular cluster analog or digital instead of those ridiculous screens. Makes the dash look so tacky. 60-65K would make it compelling, I'm still not convinced it's up there with the Germans.
Agreed - really don't like their new "one size fits all" screens that Hyundai, Kia and Genesis all use now - just an identical screen glued to the top of the dash. No design effort there whatsoever.
I had a 2020 G80. Loved it, until my Genesis dealer blew up the engine overfilling an oil change, screwed the engine replacement, then tried to scam me into a G80 loaner replacement - at my cost - that turned out to be 80% repainted and they did not disclose it. Genesis corporate was absolutely useless through the whole process.
16 mpg is laughable for the performance you get.THat thing should get much better mpg considering it doesnt even have 400 hp but yeah it's heavy as hell so that def hurts.
16mpg if you're driving like a maniac, yes. 20mpg combined isn't bad, certainly not the greatest mpg, but it's not that noticeable comparing a 20mpg to another 22mpg car. It's only noticeable if you're comparing a 20mpg vehicle to a 50mpg economical vehicle.
Hope they will try to merge this one with G90. This actually has a good looking front design. Combine with the elegant rear end of G90 it would be just excellent. I'm digging those wheels as well, something cool going on there.
Dear brands stop with digital gauges, bring back analog gauges ! These screens feels too much and already out of style and design... that´s why the new Bugatti got analog and the trend will go back to it !
So I just ordered the G80 3.5 Sport yesterday. Normally, I’d be beside myself with excitement, but y’know what, I’m not. Because i really fkn love the G70 I currently have and will be sorry when it goes back. I’ve never wanted to keep a vehicle more… but end of lease, so alas. Dont get me wrong, I’m really looking forward to the G80, but its a sign of how good my G70 was that its dampened the excitement
one thing I've always wondered about with cars that have these flat panel glass cockpits is ... will these panels wash-out in the sun under certain conditions since they don't appear to have a hood to shade the panel ... hmmm ... I personally think they could do a better job of integrating the panel ... these things look like a tacked-on afterthought ....
They most certainly do look that way; and in the process, it cheapens both the overall look and the feel of the vehicle's interior. In fact, it detracts from an otherwise beautiful and plush interior layout and design. Some things are simply, in the unending quest to achieve automotive trendiness, not to be toyed with. Altogether, you are correct in stating that a way ought to be unearthed in respect of integrating that elongated screen with a traditionally formatted luxury-typed dashboard and raised and portruding display console.
Love your video on the Genesis G80, 2025. Thank you What color is the car that you're showing in this particular video? You mentioned "flat gray". What specific color is it?
Love the big grills of Genesis cars. Getting expensive now. Fuel efficiency is too bad unfortunately. Like that they kept buttons and knobs. Better feel for climate control etc. Looks very much like an Audi and BMW if you look quickly but the grill is unmatched! Is there a way of getting interior colour in one tone or as you wish? Quality wise we will see in a few years.
for the 2025 model, on their website certain angles look like the tail lights were factory clear/smoke colored. i was kinda digging that idea. especially on silver/black models. guess it was just the angle? or weird computer generated image.
From comfort to sport is ok but from sport + back to comfort is jerky. But I haven’t had any real issues. I just change the drive mode when stopped and ride with that mode until I get to my destination
Sexy sedan ……..I like it ! Don’t like BMW 🥴. Sorry Joe, I disagree with the subway sandwich in door pocket……..think you need to go to Panera bread in a Genesis 😃
I would like to see genesis implement those 48 volt mild hybrid batteries that BMW and Mercedes does. It’s the one thing that they lag behind with compared to the competition.
They already do with the 3.5T e-supercharged. I believe it's only available on the G90 and GV80 coupe at the moment. As for me, I'd rather opt for the regular 3.5T.
Genesis looks good on the surface. Put one on a lift alongside a 5 Series, and you will see all the much cheaper steel suspension parts compared to the aluminum parts on the 5 Series. Also they use a cheap quality stainless steel with poor welds on their exhaust systems. Also MPG is always low because they use an old tired out engine that is not efficient at all. Dealership support is awful. They are always attached to a Hyundai or Kia dealership and treat you like you have an old beater Kia.
Those wheels will be a real pain to keep clean , with those small indentation dimples in the blades. The brake dust will get stuck and trapped embedded in those dimples.
Its like a poor man's Mercedes S-class, except its still for wealthy people. I love that the interior still looks like an old school traditonal interior, even with that screen.
Hopefully Mike Sweers is on the team!!! Please Lexus be in pursuit of perfection creating a full-size Crewcab that offers a daily driver trim and a trim level for construction and farm work!!! Use the 2005/2006 LS430 as a benchmark for bringing the absolute best truck ever made in history 🙏🏼❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
The large grille is nice.......However, it requires a sliver or chrome across its centre; Symmetrically designed and positioned, thick at the middle and tapered towards both ends. This would afford the grille some much-needed character. I am no automotive designer, but if asked, I could show Genesis EXACTLY how it should and could be timelessly, handsomely and tastefully accomplished.
When it comes to performance they still never did as good as the hyundai genesis 5.0 r-spec pushing 430 hp and was 4000 pounds still heavy but for a v8 luxury sport sedan its pretty light.
Joe I hope you are having a good day and weekend are you going to be doing another Ferrari review thank you for what you and Lori do excellent car content
Hmm: 4,600lbs, 375HP, 4.5 0-60? That seems like someone needs to test that in the real world.. My Camaro has 455hp, 3700lbs and has a 4.0 0-60 Seems optimistic
It hooks and lots of torque from low rpm to high. First time I jumped in my g80 I was thinking the same thing, this thing is going to take a couple days to move. Was surprised it's quick.
I prefer the G70 (I like smaller cars) but sadly Genesis isn't making them anymore. Hopefully I can find a nice used one when I finally let go of my BMW.
I've said it once and I'll say it again... The Germans ain't got nothing on Genesis aside from their better performance engines. All that to be said, I do not think this car is worth $80k. Just can't justify that.. It's just a larger more spacious version of the G70 and that's about it. All the tech, nappa leather, and everything else including engine performance in this car is no different than the G70, yet it costs $20k more. $30k more if you take into consideration you can buy a 1 year old CPO G70 fully loaded for under $50k easily

Not much in the way of "performance" at all. It isn't sporty in the least.

Is the transmission jerky at low gears ? Especially on cold starts ?
Love the cohesive accent coloring with the matte grey paint. This is the best package I’ve seen on the G80 👌🏻
Nice video keep up the great work Joe

That, and Korea just gets better features in their market. Makes sense to some degree, but we definitely should get those features too.

Yeah, I learned very quickly to stay away from dealerships altogether. They are a scam. FInd yourself a trust worthy mechanic and stick with them.

The clear camera cover on the front end would look better if it was diamond shaped and aligned to the diamond grill.
That is a very good idea!
