Newer ones are nice. But nothing compares to the power of the V8 5.0. Picked up a 17 last December. Love it
What's the difference
@vr4junkie385 the naturally aspirated engine has more power and can increase its speed easily.
I got mine back in 2021. I do not regret it. Find a good mechanic because the dealership in Lake Forest, Gaithersburg MD, is horrible.
I totally agree.. got mine around the same time you got yours.
YEAH , BABY !! I got one of the LAST 2020 V8 G80s in CANADA in 2020 (March took delivery). On a 5-year LEASE.
I TEST-DROVE the 3.3L TWIN-TURBO. IMPRESSIVE. SNAPPY RIDE ! BUT, NOTHING can walk away on the HIGHWAY like the 5.0 L V8. THAT is MY RIDE.
CALL ME OLD-SCHOOL !
shame they discontinued the 5.0. they really got this engine right
I agree!
This is exactly on my street. Shady Grove Road.🤣
I have a black 2015 Genesis 5.0 that I purchased in 2021. I traded in my 2013 Lexus GS 350 and I don't regret it. I absolutely love my Genesis. I get so many compliments from door dashers, random people in parking lots, and people from the Shady Grove Recycling facility. Mine is presential black.
One of my favorite things to do is when I am preparing to turn, I downshift to low gear to bring the RPMs up to 3,000 (preferably) and power through the turn. Should try it next time you drive this baby.
Funny because I drive by the Carmax practically every day, and never stop to check your inventory.
I don't even know why I am excited to see my city and car in this video.
@Yani Bo Will do!
Hey! That is so cool. I think it's a really nice car. We can do a review of your car too :)
@@DMCarReviews I will bring it by this upcoming weekend, and you can pinpoint how well the car has aged. Would make a great review regarding this generation. Just let me know the proper time.
@@mackfar27 Do you have an Instagram where it will be easier to communicate?
V8 BABY !
Great review, I have the 2018 G80 sport 3.3tt and I got 0 to 60 in 5.2 seconds without launch, I went with the 3.3tt because of different front bumper and carbon fiber interior.
Thank you! I have gotten a 5.7s result 0-60 on the 3.3tt awd without a launch, and 5.3s with a launch.
@@DMCarReviews interesting I'm in RI it's cold here and we have good gas.
@@DMCarReviews must admit, these g90's have a very unique, and high classed styling unlike alot of its competitors...still tho, it would be nice if genesis offered a turbocharged 3.3t or 3.5t for g90's because what people don't realize is that these vehicles are darn near 4,900 pounds which is heavier than many compact trucks...i own a 12-14 rspec and feel as if the 430 hp, and the 4200 curb weight is a good mix but since hyundai never upgraded the 5.0 to produce more power (at least 480hp crank), i feel as if the newer g90's are much too heavy for the power output...of course tho, any turbocharged vehicle can easily be tuned into an utter jet...
@@3-65.0 The new G90 has a twin turbo 3.5 V6 with an electric supercharger that produces 409 HP. So yeah, I get what your saying.
The 3.3 TT SPORT is a SNAPPY RIDE !
Bought it one month ago with the 5.0l awd in Canada. I'm still in love with it.
Welcome!🤗
Great choice!
13.3s in 1/4 qtr mile @ 107.5 with 4,600 lbs is nothing to sneeze at! This thing gives the Lexus GSF a run for its money and with more luxury and comfort to boot. Mind you, the GSF is 600lbs lighter than this thing, so this 5.0L definitely had potential if fitted into a G70 or Stinger. A shame that didn't happen. Would've been the perfect ISF killer!
Absolutely! It's very quick.
Liked your review and agree with your assessment.
Took delivery of a new 2020 G80 5.0 AWD Ultimate package (AWD was available with the 5.0 V8 in Canada) back in March, 2020. Just before the virus hit.
Have not yet taken the long road trips in this car that I had hoped for, but am VERY SATISFIED with it so far. Only 41,000 kilometers (25,000 miles) on the car to date.
This V8 (on premium gas) in SPORT MODE is quite impressive. Even in NORMAL mode.
For public roads and highways, 420 HP is more than enough. Even though this is a big girl at 4,700 pounds.
Gotta watch the speed on the HIGHWAY.....very easy to blow well past 90 mph, just passing traffic......
It's a great ride!
My dream car ❤

RIP 5.0. Beautiful sounding engine. Quiet and fast
It was a great engine. I agree!
I recently got one and its been tge best car I've owned so far and its not even close. That Tau V8 is really smooth, plus it takes Regular Gas 😂
Serious question. Any noticeable performance drop when running on 87 Octane?
0:19 BOOM 🫳🏻 BOOM 🫳🏻 BOOM 🫳🏻. 😂😂😂😂
hyundai genesis 5.0 r-spec probably pulls better since its actually probably 1 of the most lightiest luxury sedans and 1 of the most underrated cars in existence for the price, year and performance
I drove the 2012, and the acceleration was similar. This one grips better too. Both quick cars!
U speaking facts I got my rspec on e85 I make around 400whp definitely a sleeper
6:28 woah
Oh yeah. Surprise people all the time.
I need to up grade but I love my 2015 Genesis 3.8. Best car I ever have, it’s faster than my 2014 Chrysler 300C SMH lol.
If the 300C is a 5.7, it should be faster.
Not a day goes by that I don't think about what could have been had I held out a bit and gotten a 5.0 Genesis...preferably with AWD but I wouldn't have complained. I was just nervous because I was coming off of a Sonata that was under that nightmare of a time with the 4 cylinders blowing up...my faith in Hyundai was just shaky enough to have me miss out on such a handsome car. Damn. I also wasn't really trying to mess with premium gas either so there's that.
Premium is not required but recommended. The Tau motor is capable of running on regular gas. This is also documented in the owner's manual.
I’m 2019 G80 sport owner! Drove the new body style, drives like entry level vehicle
I drove the new one. It was nice.
I’m new to the the mod car community and my friend has a stinger. I’ve always loved the genesis and their classy luxury. I’m looking for a project car, more so been locked in on a g70 3.3 which is pricey for a project car. The 2018 5.0s are good price run with decent mileage. What do you think 😅
The 5.0s are amazing.
Love your videos! Did you enjoy the driver experience in this or the Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 more?
Thank you for watching! I actually liked both, but overall I think the G80 5.0 is a more comfortable car to take on trips, whereas as the Q50 is more sporty.
Just got 2015 5.0 as well I roast the tires, on did a 0 to 60 afterwards and got 4.6 on a 1/4 of a tank….
How did you measure it? 4.6s seems to good to be true for this car
I will say from experience. The vehicle did feel quicker when you have less than a 1/2 of fuel in reserve. I'm not saying it turns the car into a Corvette; however, it sure felt quicker off the line at 1/4 of a tank just as you mentioned. The same thing can be said for the G80 5.0 AWD as well.
@@DMCarReviews turn off traction control, hit the brakes bring rpm’s to 3,500 and let her go. I must got a factory freak because I achieved these numbers several times…
@@DMCarReviews also I had in sport mode and was on asphalt as well lol…
@@SiweLSiweLDoes this wear out your brake pads when you do this?
Are the 2015-2017 reliable with high mileage?
Yes!
Aye they shouldve put the 5.0 inside the Stinger honestly wouldve tooken down dodge sells
The 3.3T is perfect
@DMCarReviews ya but it would've sold more with a V8 as the top spec 420hp 400tq would've boosted sells also the sound
I will be getting the 17 5.0 Friday
@@Lunarphantom99 Nice!
@@Lunarphantom99 Interesting enough, the performance of the turbo counterpart is actually just as good, if not better, and much more tunable. Unfortunately, the Stinger is discontinued.
Just FYI - you're not supposed to turn your wheel while waiting to turn. If you get rear ended you will then be pushed into oncoming traffic
I agree! You're right. Thank you for the pointing that out.
I wish this engine was in the Genesis coupe.
After watching this video, I am torn! This car and a 2016 Audi S8 are about the same price $45-$50K. Which would you buy considering you test drove both? I know the Audi would need some regularly scheduled maintenance to run and be reliable (even though they say the 2015-2018 V8s are quite reliable) and the Genesis would literally be a beater but in a very luxurious way. If you had the $50K, which one are you buying to go 100k-120k miles?
If I was looking at this class, and had 50K to spend, I would get a 2020 BMW 750i xDrive. Out of the two you mentioned, the S8 is a much more superior car.
@@DMCarReviews Thank you, ill look at the BMW and see if there are any good options!
I own a '12 R-Spec 5.0 and I would take the S8. The Audi is better handling at high speeds. I've been up to 140 and I was a bit terrified lol. It's got more in it but I don't have the highway stretch to really find out. Too much traffic in the Nashville area and I'm not gonna endanger others.
Is this the one I'm looking at on Carmax in Puyallup WA 😂😂
No! This one is in white, and was in MD
oh damn....are you in Maryland?
Yes, I am.
can you do a 2018 gle350 review?
If I can find one, of course.
You can find "hanging gas pedal" on Audis too, not only in asian cars. And there are A LOT of asian cars with floor mounted gas pedal.
I don't think this means the car is "more premium".
What asian cars beside some Kia's have floor mounted pedals? Nissan, Toyota, Honda, for the most part don't use floor mounted pedals. Audi does use hanging pedals. The floor mounted pedal is more comfortable and has better resistance feel.
@@DMCarReviews Toyota Camry, RAV4, Venza, Sienna, Highlander, Crown, bZ4x, Grand Highlander and even the new PRIUS, all of them have a floor mounted gas pedal 🙂
No, it is not more confortable, it's just a subjective opinion. Drove several german cars. Same sh*t as the hanging one.
Japanese fanboy.😂😂😂

@@Eugen-E 😂😂😂 life is too short to drive a boring Corolla.
I have a 2015 5.0 and I hit a poll and need a new side mirror does anyone know where to get a used mirror?
I am sorry to hear that. Glad you are ok! Call David at Gold Star Auto Sales and Repairs in PA and tell him you need a mirror for your car. I'm sure he could find that pre-owned part for you, and you could work out the details. If you want a new mirror, contact a local Genesis dealer.

Впереди камера фиксации проезда на красный свет? :-)
Да
@@DMCarReviews хороший обзор достойного аппарата 👍
better to go 3.3 tgdi or this 5.0 ?
Go with the 5.0 for sure!
I have the same car.. Mine says Buick
Lol!
É errado estares toda a hora no celular!
These good on gas ?
They're ok
@@DMCarReviews I'll answer that. Define good? 🤣
Most I’ve gotten is 26 and 19 overall I live in a rural area
It would be nice if we were not distracted by the holes in you beans. If you want to be taken seriously", You should probably consider a nice pair of slacks or at least some better pants or geans
Thank you for the comment!
Really???
What app are you using for your 0-60 ?
I used to use a Dragy GPS device (the one in the video), but now I am using RaceBox.
