I bought my G80 back in June, don't think I'll ever get tired of looking at it or driving. Had to get the V6, couldn't see the point of the 4 cylinder.
I hadn’t seen in other videos that the G80 has ambient interior lightning. Thought that was only in the GV series. Very cool. I LOVE genesis’ designs and what they’re doing. Insane cars.
Great overview, thank you. You can sense how smooth the ride is by the fact that the camera never shakes or vibrates during the interior driving segment.
Your channel recently popped into my reccomended, and i must say. The quality is absolutely incredible. I won’t be suprised when you have over 1 million subscribers next year.
I must say I like how you review, your "style" so to speak. Calm, no shouting, no fuzz.......I like that. And during the review I understand that you pretty much like the same things about a car that I do. That moment when your driving and you say you would rather not do the review, but just enjoy the ride. I can so relate to that....:) And the statement that you'll never even ride in sport mode cause you enjoy the comfort mode....= spot on.
I like that they are a luxury brand that's finally doing something unique and bold. The German cars, as much as I love them start to look boring and vanilla after so long. I think the G80 has more style and presence than anything it competes with.
I'm fairly obsessed with the new G80, but the Sport trim coming sometime next year. I was basically just trying to decide on a color and was leaning towards the new Cavendish Red, but this grey color is amazing. That with the red leather would be 🔥.
Another great review Mike & Ian.... I had the opportunity to chat with Ian a couple of weeks ago about how you two thoroughly enjoy giving what your doing (and it shows) ...and that was enough to check out the Genesis product. .I just picked up my GV80 this morning largely based on your reviews of the GV70 and GV80 a month ago. Keep up the great work you guys!
I so wanna get this car but I feel like I don't wanna drive it as much as I wanna ride in the back seat and feel the comfort. I don't know of its a good choice for a new couple to get. Or maybe get a stinger?
At the end when you mention the start/stop AC - that's a huge issue for folks who live in warm climates year round. Out here in Arizona, you want your AC on full blast no matter what. It's nice that you brought it up as that's a definite dealbreaker for someone like me.
Could be wrong; but on virtually all production cars, the quarter panel windows and sunroof are actual glass. So that's not really a selling point. The grill is a bit unwieldy, but nice looking car still.
I just found out about this model. I am looking to wait for the sport model of it. Hopefully you will be reviewing it too! It'll help me decide between this and a BMW 540i
I own a '08 GS350 & this truly looks like it's successor, in terms of design & the way it looks. Would love to own this beauty some day. Also, someone mentioned this in another video, the grille & headlights makeup the Genesis logo. 😅
It's good to see a company still making actual cars. I'm single, have absolutely no use for a station wagon (aka suv) and love the luxury and quality of this brand.
Thanks @Acceler8 for the amazing review. But I am really confused between the G80 & the Lexus ES ( both 3.5L models). My top priority is super smooth & quiet drive quality. What do you suggest? Thank you
This is one of the best if not the best car reviewer currently... You are videos are amazing A8 keep it up... Can't wait for the next car review... Spoiler.... New sub.... 👍👍👍
Regarding the door unlock feature. My G80 has settings that can allow one door or all four doors to unlock with one press of the fob or lock control on the handle.
The Genesis is definitely a well sorted out car, as Hyundai hired BMW and Audi top technical folks, who made quite an impact on the overall design, performance and quality of the product line. However, no matter how hard Hyundai tries , and admirably at that, it will still suffer the stigma of the "Hyundai" monika , Genesis or not, it's still a Hyundai. Same as Acura and Lexus. If it's trying to attract buyers who are hard core owners of BMWs, Audi's, Jaguar, Mercedes, it's going to be challenging. And not to forget, those who currently own Lexus and Acura, they will also probably not readily jump over to the Genesis brand at this point in time. The Genesis is a really well made car, but it IS ultimately a Hyundai, who made the econo boxes like the Pony. So the main task for Hyundai, is to slowly chip away at the "econobox" image and find a way to raise it's luxury image with the Genesis. Renaming a brand will not immediately turn it into a well accepted luxury brand, It needs to somehow completely separate itself away from it's parent company, have it's own parts and factories, and own management.
You need to take something for that "Mercedes Benz cough" :o) Again, a fantastic review and you actually show the car better than any Genesis website that I just visited. When you are sitting in the backseat, it looks like the G80 could be an "L" since you seem to have an abundance of legroom.
This will be a Car of Mine. 3.3T of course. Also you guys are in Ontario Canada...Subscribed, giving me the info i need as a Canadian..Hopefully we'll run into each other one day.
Once they get the car into it's own dealerships....their sales will increase exponentially. Personnel at Hyundai Dealerships lack the laid back consultative technique needed to sell these cars. That's why you can't buy a Lexus at a Toyota dealer. Toyota salespeople are typical over the top types. Lexus is another experience entirely.
If only they had dealers. I absolutely love my G80 but will never but another Genesis again until they build dedicated dealers. I have had terrible service experiences at both Hyundai dealers in my area. They are even subpar compared to the Chevy, Honda and Nissan dealers in the area. They can't touch the Acura, Lexus and Mercedes experiences. You pay a premium for high end luxury but you have to deal with the thrift store for sales and service.
If you have this, you definitely have a...grocery getter... 😁 perhaps it's too gouache to call it that but...yes, definitely if you're buying one of these you've got a 2nd and likely 3rd car for hauling crap...or hauling stuff, guess upper middle class people don't have crap, per se...😁
8:04 hey, easy on the door, dude! 8:20 sunshades?!!? gauche, tint the windows, sheesh. 10:38 the reason that speaker is so big and so high is because there are 3 speakers in the door. a tweeter up above the armrest. you were knocking the midrange. the woofer is 'down low'. this is the optimum setup. having all three drivers close together aids in the _soundstage_ presentation. i can't take anymore...... i'm out.
So does Genesis pay for the accidents when you're cruising with your hands on the seat ? Cruise control beyond speed control should be outlawed. The drivers job is to drive, not rest.
Do you have a favourite car in the Genesis lineup? Let us know below.
This one is the bees knees. 🔥
2022 G70, which you reviewed 3 weeks ago
Nice review keep up the good work
I can't decide between GV70 and GV80.. one of the two will be my next purchase!
GV70 or GV80 will be my next purchase
I bought my G80 back in June, don't think I'll ever get tired of looking at it or driving. Had to get the V6, couldn't see the point of the 4 cylinder.
You just made me even more excited to get this car! 🤙🏿
@@twaineeejones8440 looking forward to you joining the G80 family! 😀
@@DMaine Thanks so much man! 🤙🏿 White on white soon!

G80 is king of mid size luxury sedans!

Well thanks so much we really appreciate that! Fingers crossed!
Wow. For real tbh
i'm from korea . This is a very impressive review. I think I have a lot of good reviews to share this channel with my friends.

I agree I haven't needed to use the sport mode since I've bought it
Genesis has beautiful design language...
Only a hater will deny that
I like that they are a luxury brand that's finally doing something unique and bold. The German cars, as much as I love them start to look boring and vanilla after so long. I think the G80 has more style and presence than anything it competes with.
@@greg.anywhere well said my friend
Your videos are worth the wait. Amazing video quality from a presentation to a visual perspective.
Thanks for the review. I was debating for MB E350 and g80. Dif will get this one! ❤
I'm fairly obsessed with the new G80, but the Sport trim coming sometime next year. I was basically just trying to decide on a color and was leaning towards the new Cavendish Red, but this grey color is amazing. That with the red leather would be 🔥.
I bought one back in Dec. matte silver, the color is a killer
the studio the cars are in is a one of the main reasons i keep watching ur videos such a nice recording space

THIS CAR IS A MASTERPIECE
Bro you make the best reviews ever!!! Shout out from South Florida.
Thanks man!
i love your videos man. You bring entertainment and great information, i hope you make it big on youtube.
geez this car is beautiful. and reliable.
How do you know it's reliable? That's a big concern of mine, which can only be determined with time.
wow man
these intro short car films are so good
great work
The new born GV60, definitely.
I am impressed 😮
I so wanna get this car but I feel like I don't wanna drive it as much as I wanna ride in the back seat and feel the comfort. I don't know of its a good choice for a new couple to get. Or maybe get a stinger?
G80 Sport Package can be a hybrid of your needs
Two words:
PRODUCT …PLACEMENT
This car should be put in movies‼️😎
At the end when you mention the start/stop AC - that's a huge issue for folks who live in warm climates year round. Out here in Arizona, you want your AC on full blast no matter what. It's nice that you brought it up as that's a definite dealbreaker for someone like me.
Far better than a Lexus
I love the gv70 and I would love for genesis to make a coupe version of it like Mercedes’ and bmw have .✨
That would be awesome!
Essentially a gv75 lol
Could be wrong; but on virtually all production cars, the quarter panel windows and sunroof are actual glass. So that's not really a selling point. The grill is a bit unwieldy, but nice looking car still.
I just found out about this model. I am looking to wait for the sport model of it. Hopefully you will be reviewing it too! It'll help me decide between this and a BMW 540i
The sport g80 is an appearance package
Was thinking about buying audi s3 but think imma go for the luxury style this time.. I never buy new so I'll see you in two years
This is some quality review 👍🏻
Your editing quality is exceptional..
gorgeous car
It’s hard to believe places outside CA exist. Cornfields only exist in movies, on sets, in Hollywood. In CA. Great review.
I own a '08 GS350 & this truly looks like it's successor, in terms of design & the way it looks. Would love to own this beauty some day.
Also, someone mentioned this in another video, the grille & headlights makeup the Genesis logo. 😅
This a was a very smooth review! 👌 😌 👏
6:52 “😮💨Mercedes Benz”
🤣‼️
such a beautiful Car, thanks for the video.
Glad you liked it!
@@ACCELER8TV yes I do.
Best car in that segment!! spatially at that price point. Unfortunately people this days prefer SUVS.
Yea can't top headroom and road clearance
If you choose the gv70 still an excellent option
It's good to see a company still making actual cars. I'm single, have absolutely no use for a station wagon (aka suv) and love the luxury and quality of this brand.
Thanks @Acceler8 for the amazing review. But I am really confused between the G80 & the Lexus ES ( both 3.5L models). My top priority is super smooth & quiet drive quality. What do you suggest? Thank you
Do you know if the GV70 has the same problem with the AC when stopped?
Getting to 100k soon great work 💪 lets keep it going more subs on the way 💯🔥
How long the electronics will last ?
This is one of the best if not the best car reviewer currently... You are videos are amazing A8 keep it up... Can't wait for the next car review... Spoiler.... New sub.... 👍👍👍

First video that i see from your channel. Pause/Subscribe/Play again! Thank you for your review, great job
No android auto or Apple ay kinda makes me question getting it. Those are so convenient with navigation etc
I think you should review the 2021 Genesis G90. This would be a true A8 competitor, in my opinion.
The last one in the lineup we need to review. Hopefully soon.
@@ACCELER8TV okay, great. Yes, hopefully soon. I know you will do a great job, as always!!
Love it 😍
This car made from imagination it's
Soo beautiful on road

You actually can change the cluster theme permanently. Settings, vehicle, cluster
KIA, Hyundai, Genesis taking the 🚘 market by storm!
But I feel like blind spot 📷 📹 can develop bad driving habits. 😬
Great review
What a great detailed review! 👍
Which color is it?
Himalayan Gray
“Nice” review. Definitely subscribing 😂😂😂
G70 and stinger are basically the same car??
No wireless Android or Apple Carplay for a luxury vehicle in this price range is ridiculous!
You need to take something for that "Mercedes Benz cough" :o)
Again, a fantastic review and you actually show the car better than any Genesis website that I just visited. When you are sitting in the backseat, it looks like the G80 could be an "L" since you seem to have an abundance of legroom.
im impressed with the front end i will lease it just for that headlight 😂
What an elegant review...😊👍

14:59 . . .nice 😆
love this lexus !
they have been killing it since 90s
This is more luxurious than the G90
For now✨. The redesigned G90 is said to be the most advanced and luxurious vehicle ever to come from the hyundai group.
Please someone give me the orchestra sound track played at 00:10. Much appreciated!

already has a check engine light ?
The car wasn’t running, it was just in “accessory mode”. Most cars show the check engine light in that mode.
Hate the big chain link fence grill.

That's why you can't buy a Lexus at a Toyota dealer. Toyota salespeople are typical over the top types. Lexus is another experience entirely.
Who uses the satellite radio nowadays?
g80 is not for a person who needs a driver. g90 is like s class.
you are asking too much for g80
g80 competes with eclass or 5series.
Debs new Car
What color is the car?What is it called?
Himalayan Gray
I think it's bigger than the LS.
Bravo
In fact, g80 and gv80 are highly evaluated by Koreans who criticize domestic cars. (I'm Korean)
nice
I don’t care what you say I am not giving up my Lexus! I will not give up my Lexus! I will not give up Lexus.
😂 😂😂😂
The G80 needs the GV70’s infotainment controller.

James Bond is a Mercedes’ or a BMW
