FYI, in addition to Normal/Sport/Eco drive modes, the all-wheal version has also Snow mode. To activate, press and hold the mode selection button. It is always useful to read user guide...
Actually there's 4 driving modes. Get this, press and hold down the drive mode button for two seconds and you get the snow mode which ironically you could have used in this condition lol.
I looked (and almost purchased) an Audi A6 Prestige. Then my best friend was looking out for me and relentlessly told me to “just go and look at the G80 Ultimate. Ok I said if it will shut you up. Being VALUE CONSCIOUS, guess what’s sitting in my garage? Yup! ❤️❤️❤️ the panoramic sunroof (being in South Florida) and the big info screen. Thank God for BFF’s. 😉
Dave makes a good point about the 360 degree camera. I have tried backing one of these out of a packed parking lot in the city and it is tricky given the size of the vehicle. You would like the car more with that feature. Hope they add it at some point.
Also, I think this is one of Dave's best reviews. Perhaps because he couldn't spend a lot of time on camera work, he spent more time thinking about the things the car had and the things it needed still. This was a very thoughtful review.
My Santa Fe has the same rear camera system, it's not a problem for me. We have two Hyundai SUV's which is great for traveling, and camping but we're also looking for another car to save on gas. After hearing the fuel economy and taking into account missing features we're probably pass on this years model.
How was the G80 HTRAC in the snow? How did it handle? You didn’t mention that aspect at all! Come on dude - it’s snowing like hell and you have the HTRAC version!!
I have a 2016 Hyundia Genesis, actually the same car different badging, you have 4 drive mode regular, eco, sport and if you hold the drive mode button for about 2 to 4 seconds on the all wheel drive you will get the snow mode. Also when you upgrade to the 9.5 screen you loose Apple play.
k selbi after driving this car initially searching for a small luxury sedan (Bmw 3 series, a4, jag xe, Lincoln MKZ, q50) the ride quality is top notch. This is not a super sporty ride but more to the executive comfort side. The car feels heavy and comfortable, solid. I purchased one a few days ago because that is what I decided I was looking for. Not to mention it's a lot more car and options for the lease dollar compared to all of those other ones I listed.
Great car from Hyundai/Genesis. The Koreans are so freakin smart. If They could reunite with N Korea, and put Kim Jung in a padded cell where he belongs, they could dominate the world.
Love your videos man! Great work. The car looks really nice outside but it feels abit cheap and outdated inside, some part of it. Overall seem to be a decent car no doubt.

Thank you for your taking the time to leave a comment - Dave
Thanks for telling me about the 4th mode. Can’t find it in Genesis book.

Welcome to the Genesis club~ I have 2010 Genesis with no issues. Yours will last long hopefully~
I can't believe that this is from 5 years ago. Unbelievable how quick time goes by.
I love watching your reviews. You are one of the best car reviewers / car journalist imo out here. Information is clear, intuitive and unbiased.
Heads Up Displays are way underrated. Nice to see Genesis include it.
Damn! I'm looking at the Sonata as our third car but I might consider the Genesis used.

Unfortunately not have rear folding seats for expanded storage could be a deal breaker.

There's also a snow mode if you hold the drive mode button down, might have been useful here!
I love this car! I'd want a 5.0 in white
Man, I love this car!!!!
Bought a CPO Genesis 2012 4.6 385 HP. GREAT CAR. DRIVE ONE. I’ve gotten as much as 30 MPG.
I wonder how the RWD version does in snow, Having a rough time finding the one I want in AWD but I live in Colorado...
How was the G80 HTRAC in the snow? How did it handle? You didn’t mention that aspect at all! Come on dude - it’s snowing like hell and you have the HTRAC version!!
If you hold down the drive mode you enter into snow mode ;) i have the 5.0 HTRAC and it's a beast in the snow :)

Dave, your channel deserves way more subscribers man! Another awesome review.
Dave, how was the awd traction in the snow? I don't recall it being mentioned. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
Great Review Dave. I like this car but think that this will be much better once the 3.3T from the G90 debuts for the 18 model year.
thanks for the review
why dont you give us yoir impressions on the driving dynamics

The All Wheel Drive is way better than Rear Wheel Drive always because All Wheel Drive is always engaged
Don't forget about Kia stinger . Genesis is fine too
Dave. Ur review is always good to listen.
...A blessed smooth voice.
I'm pretty sure you won't answer, because it's 3 yrs later, but I'm in CDA, and can't find a Genesis dealer in the area... where is it?
A great review! Thanks!
if you add more features it's going to destroy a lot of brands at that price
Nice car! I like G90(5.0L/V8)
I like it.
surprised it doesn't have the birdseye view, the Kia Optima has it.
for 2018 the 5.0 will be available with awd
What is that clear piece of plastic on the grill for? I've seen it on Mercedes cars but I still have no idea what it's for. Thanks.
David M. Hides/protects sensors for cruise control.
No it’s for pedestrian detection
Love your videos man! Great work.
The car looks really nice outside but it feels abit cheap and outdated inside, some part of it. Overall seem to be a decent car no doubt.
Love this car
Canada zip code don't work in Car.Show/EverymanDriver.
There is a solution for that...back into the space instead of pulling in
goodlooking car. but why do carmakers but that little window on the car, seems so useless
How come this car doesn't have remote start?
It does it's on your phone...You can start it from any where in the world..!
what state or city are you in Usa ? I saw snow. CA? LA?
Teeradej Yungyuen He lives in Spokane, WA
Thank
I will take one in pearl please!!!!
Hyundai release a Genesis G60 with AWD I'll buy it lol.
Kia done that though with new Stinger, it uses G70 chassis and comes with AWD package.
Dave 😍👌🏼
눈길고속도로(8cm이하)에서 M.Bentz G CLASS를 가지고노는 전세계에서 유일한 세단...
2020년 신형 제네시스는 하체의 경량화로 저런 전설적인 눈길주행성이 안나옴...
대신,일반주행이 더 좋아짐...
곧,구형 제네시스 G80 AWD는 미국북부,캐나다에서 구하기 힘들정도로 인기가 있을것임...
어드바이스팁......한국의 중고차시장은 구형 G80 AWD가 너무 많음...
The only weakens is the G80 has no full trunk pass through. Only a small ski pass through! That a big no buy for me!
Why are you always running out from a side of car like your late for the video? What are doing there anyways? ;)
Hi
Love the car. What tanks this review, is how the presenter smacks his lips excessively.
First
Sexy car and dude!!
You too
Great video even in the snow still wish the v8 had all wheel drive
the hell is a Genesis
Cross Hyundai's luxury division. Like Audi to VW, Lexus to Toyota and Infiniti to Nissan.
I love this car! I'd want a 5.0 in white
