2015 Hyundai Genesis review

[@BritonWells]

Appreciate the comparison of trim levels, helps a lot with buying used!

[@HaSh6064]

Excellent review. Fantastic car, great value. I got one in May 2014, this year I traded in and got another one with higher trim.

[@crazymaker1982]

beautiful and comfortable, my friend has bought this car since a year and he is still happy and he recommand me to buy one to.

[@KoreanSaram8]

It looks like every high/middle-class family is buying this 2015 Genesis. I already know 5 people who have bought this car, and most of them are coming from German luxury sedans. I must say the exterior looks very attractive, very dominant looking.

[@ForzaItaliaAzzurri7]

UltimateDriver Where do you live? Same trend here in LA

[@davidbennett9198]

UltimateDriver I bought the 2015 Genesis 3.8L V6 and it's the best car I've ever bought so far. And my previous car was the 2006 BMW 530i and that speaks volumes on what I expect from a car.

[@NoToMailOrderBrides]

UltimateDriver The 2015 Hyundai Genesis is a driver's car definitely. Most reviewers are praising it's AWD transmission and responsive handling. Glad that Hyundai moved away from the numb steering of 2012-2013.

[@artilheiro5151]

UltimateDriver 2015 Hyundai Genesis is very nice. I love Hyundai. In Brasil Hyundai is best Asian brand, better than Toyota/Nissan.

[@VietnamHatesKorean]

UltimateDriver I love 2015 Hyundai Genesis. Very high quality luxury car!

[@OneRaceKorea12]

The 2015 Hyundai Genesis has the best AWD transmission I've ever experienced on a luxury mid-size sedan. It even beats the BMW 535d and is far superior compared to the Lexus GS350. The 2015 Hyundai Genesis' steering is also very responsive and on the heavy side. None of the numb steering you see with the other Korean/Japanese cars. Hyundai is a very high-tech company that manufactures jet engines for Lockheed Martin and Boeing.

[@stefanschmidt6490]

StealthTechz I never regarded Lexus cars as proper luxury. They look more like glorified small sports cars.

[@papayafruitch]

StealthTechz More premium than Lexus but less premium than Mercedes.

[@VeryLittleReporter]

StealthTechz WTF ur saying? of course they got better than last several years but they still have many defects compared to other car manufacturer like Toyota, VW, Benz, Nissan and so on....

[@VeryLittleReporter]

StealthTechz and why you love hyundai and kia so much? all the comments that you've written are only praising hyundai-kia craps.

[@fisher_ltd]

+토우예 도대체 저분이 무슨말을 하셧길래 그렇게 흥분..

[@mrt2734]

Gorgeous interior and exterior reliability is a 10!

[@jihoonkang686]

It's so fucked up how people pick Bmws, Mercedes Benz not because it's comfortable, but because it's just fucking Benz. Honestly if we lived in a world where nobody judges you by the car you drive, more Hyundais will sell. Honestly Benz and Bmws are really great looking and all, but I really feel it's over priced. Too bad some people buy cars because of its logo and not the actual car itself.

[@mr.nicereal6233]

I chose Genesis over Audi A6 last month. Apart from the orange interior lighting that I love about Audi, I can confidently say that this car beats the A6 with no doubt. Seriously was surprised when I first drove this. With the new Genesis brand, its a bonus too!

[@foggyblues13]

Great review as always! The front passenger seat next to you looks like something from iRobot. That headrest and the all white just does it. :D

[@shahidulalam2342]

foggyblues13 I yes bro observed...

[@Bobbly_bobbby]

Zach, I think this new Genesis is based on completely new platform and therefore it does not share platform with K9 or Equus. But the old Genesis did share the platform with the K9 and Equus. Cheers!

[@matthewcummings6593]

I have one and love it drives great

[@Peppermint1]

Hyundai and Kia are progressive car makers. Each year they improve their models but not like the other car makers: they really step up their cars both in the reliability and modernity departments. Much more proactive that all Honda, Toyota, Ford, VW and other car makers. If you'd put the management teams from Kia and Hyundai to work for Mercedes or Lexus, they could build a supersonic car that could make ice cream. That's what I like to see: a team that really cares about improving, not just moving along with others.

[@ddo93]

i think the car looks great and is very original.. I dont really see much of BMW in front and infiniti in the back.. and theres so many cars that look alike nowadays its hard to be original. but great review!

[@unisday]

It looks better with the reflection on the Genesis in the introduction. We have a previous generation, and it's been almost 6 years and we are kind of getting ready to change it. Interestingly, here in Korea, the Genesis is not particularly any cheaper than 5 series and A6, while E Class is significantly more expensive, and we are looking forward to get maybe a 5 series or even 6 series if I could really convince my dad. haha

[@BorisTerekidi]

+Jun Jeon Don't bother. Maintenance costs of a BMW are stupid expensive, even on new cars. Brakes, oil, tires costs double if not triple of what other cars require. I am going to get rid of our BMW and get something like the Genesis actually.

[@akhiljoshua5342]

Well it seems like kicking off my merc s class for the Hyundai Genesis seems good for the moment

[@jonsingh90]

awesome review!

[@MrSoulDevelopment]

Beautiful review.

[@erikwsince1981]

Hey Zach. Love your show and reviews. When will do you a review of the new Hyundai Santa Fe?

[@gabrielmak4423]

your videos are great, but what i don't understand is why all the cars uses Ontario plates when most of your videos are in the Vancouver Shaughnessy area?

[@gabrielmak4423]

That makes a lot of sense now. Love Vancouver and his reviews.

[@Babychoocho]

If you're looking for luxury it looks like the Genesis is up there with the German brands. Is this comparable to the A7?

[@t3rrytan]

Is it Better than the Kia cadenza with the v6?

[@bluecement]

the trunk said HTRAC 5.0. They don't actually sell all wheel drive with the V8 version. At least to my knowledge. ** update apparently in Canada, there is a 5.0 version with AWD >=(!!!!

[@BorisTerekidi]

+marcher Yup. In Canada all Genesis sedans come AWD (6 and 8 cyl).

[@ThousanWhite]

+marcher Aww man, I wish the AWD version was available in the US. Maybe the fuel economy or cost of mfg was too risky?

[@davids1816]

+ThousanWhite yeah it would be like 14 or 15 mpg in the city and would be nearing 60k. I think the updated model will be a twin turbo 6

[@1969cmp]

marcher I guess the need for AWD is pressing in Canada because the weather is (mostly) crud.

[@RealtimeReviews613]

I have the 2011 don't think I will upgrade as both the v6 and v8 are horrible on gas.

[@thealperson3]

Too many people think this car is overpriced (it's not) just because it's a Hyundai. Hyundai is more well known for their non-luxury cars which doesn't mean they can't make a luxury car with a luxury car price tag.

[@1969cmp]

....and a touch of Astin Martin....

[@andersonanderson6314]

i wish hyundai will also replaced the hyundai log on the trunk with the new design on the hood!!

[@BorisTerekidi]

+Anderson Anderson It takes 15 min to remove the logo from the back and put the Genesis badge to the back

[@lexusfan100]

wow that is beautifully looking inside and outside looking Genesis. i really like the value too. i hoped the mpg was better tho

[@juansamudio1171]

which one is better mercedes cla 250 or hyundai genesis

[@robertduklus6555]

Are you kidding? CLA is a little noisy shitbox.

[@imtheonehero9305]

Not the same class

[@alstjr]

such a nice car

[@dontelindsey5846]

Hard to find the V8

[@jinwoohur7999]

Hyundai Genesis do not have hyundai badges rear in Korea. and Equus too..

[@BorisTerekidi]

+jwh3303 Hur It takes 10-15 minutes to remove the badge. You need a heat gun, a string and some soap and water.

[@LeaveYouOnRead]

Can this car bests v8 mustang 0-100?

[@johnhunt9674]

I've talked to some dudes with the 5.0 that have. Imagine if you tweak that engine a little bit. Tons of potential.

[@vincentlee9638]

well the power is similar but genesis is 1000lbs heavier

[@Mr.Carter777]

V8 it doesn't make sense.V6 twin turbo will be better option or V6 disele

[@NS416]

Diesels in Canada are pointless. Diesel cost more and the cars are more expensive.

[@eddienash2896]

Replace one turbo and then tell me the big cost advantage over the V8.

[@iSOBigD]

For the starting price of a 5 series, you can also buy a Hyundai Equus which is even more luxurious and has more features than the E class/A6/5 Series. The Genesis is a no questions asked bargain for around the price of an entry level Merc which has the interior of an Accord at best.

[@godsreclamation2539]

I just bought a used one and its pretty good. I fixed it up a bit with minor thinga but it does the job

[@PhuPhillipTrinh]

how much did you pay for a used model? dealer or private? i'm also looking around at the genesis as a used car option

[@RealtimeReviews613]

This car is amazing! The only thing I hate is the rear tails that look like an Elantra, could have done a better job. Other than that the price increase especially in canada us horrible!

[@dennisreynolds6915]

Great review. I can say I have fully made cream! Bless you sir for you have expelled my sweet seed.

[@MikeStoddart]

If it was 5" shorter and a bit more economical with the V6 I would definitely look at buying one.

[@jetm1957]

agreed; not convenient with street parking at this car length

[@imtheonehero9305]

It's a full size. What did you expect?

[@sgbradley]

Wow what a beautiful car indeed....17.3 l/100 klm, thats worst than a 6.2 litre GMC truck :-( Just a bit too Ritzy for #CampbellRiver #BC too. But what a beautiful AWD car

[@DuckyMusic0]

Beautiful Car:

[@nickolastiguan]

as of now (2017), the G80 3.8 Luxury starts at $54g CAD. maintenance is included for 5 years, along with other perks. but surely you are basically prepaying for those perks?

[@papitoricokim8475]

awesome

[@maxncathy44]

Under 40k?

[@beptex2858]

Max Mitchell I see most of them under 20k

[@zxbc1]

Put the new suspension, steering and V8 into a new Genesis coupe and take my money.

[@Cre8UrReal80]

A V8 AWD in the Genesis Coupe would be a great updated option for Hyundai to actually consider.

[@RealtimeReviews613]

As stated this hyundai as most are getting way to overpriced. Hyundai is giving less standard features too. They have to many expensive option packages

[@terrykim4383]

Why do you copy and paste this comment everywhere? If anything, Hyundai and KIA have been giving MORE standard features. The option packages are barely anymore expensive that past ones.

[@nominalegg5865]

Terry Kim Clearly “dave dunn” is a dunce.

[@xcmskim4]

genesis costs less in the US

[@MTLJack]

whats the point of having a hyundai when half the people changes the hyundai badges into something else ! Their not even proud of the brand. Look at all those genesis coupe & sedans , optima. They all change into another badge.

[@pedropedrosoy9890]

I have never changed the badge of my Hyundai cars... what do you drive? Ferrari?... you fucking loser.

[@MTLJack]

Pedro Pedrosoy Lol , look at all your hate comments on every youtube video ... i bet you dont even own a genesis coupe. Probably an elantra or sonata , judging by your hatred. I said half people changes their badge, learn to read dumbass. Not my fault if you feel insulted.

[@DRAGONIKification]

They are changing the badge because someone wants a "picture" on the badge.Kia and hyundai made those badges,if you dont want letter badge you can change it to second badge what kia or hyundai made.

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

Hey Jacky, I just wanted to point out that you are half correct. While there are certainly quite a few people who change their logos, they actually change it to the genesis logo. The genesis is actually branded differently in Korea. Most people who swap out their badges do so for the winged 'factory' gesis logo. I guess many of the genesis customers wish hyundai would create a separate luxury brand like Lexus or infinity. In any case the winged logo can be installed and or ordered from the dealer.

[@MTLJack]

That's what i meant @ray britton. They all change to the winged genesis emblem or the K emblem for the kia optimas. Not sure why Pedro Pedrosoy got over excited and talks about ferrari while he drives trashes. What does the subject has anything to do with ferrari's and now bmw's? Ferrari's are just good for show room , they are extremely not reliable.

[@wndlsrla6420]

whos like hyundai kia ?

[@Arnold_X3]

The heck, they put an ugly Hyundai badge again on the rear???

[@JMazterV112]

50k*+ for a V6 ? Yeaaa right..

[@NotARealUTubeAccount]

Do you have the same outlook on the caddy's 4 cylinder turbo for $50k+?

[@JMazterV112]

NotARealUTubeAccount well naturally aspirated or a turbo charged these are thought decisions this Hyundai is nice and is priced right but I'm just not sure about it

[@pedropedrosoy9890]

yeah its a luxurious car... you moron.

[@kkevinparkk]

WOW

[@danielchoi7298]

it's better than lexus. Japanese car brads are tresh. survice, quality, and design. No tresh Japanese brand in the world

[@BorisTerekidi]

+Choi Lexus is way overpriced. RX SUV costs 50k base and for that you dont even get a screen. It's expensive because it's popular.

[@imtheonehero9305]

Damn. That gs350 is hideous

[@charlesduran8700]

You can't get AWD with the V/8 in the U.S. That was dumb move on Hyundai's part and that why the car is not selling well in the snow belt . no body wants the less powerful V/6 with the AWD . It's a slug

[@luggage12345]

You have to ask yourself. If you have $62,000 will you spend it on a Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lexus, Cadillac or Hyundai.

[@pedropedrosoy9890]

Yeah would you spend 62,000 base 5 series with nothing inside just a badge outside or would you be intelligent and get the fully loaded Genesis, you fucking moron.

[@luggage12345]

I'm a fucking moron? LOL okay man. First of all, a base 5 series starts a 49 grand idiot. Second of all, Hyundai has not established its status enough to be a luxury series as opposed to BMW or Mercedes, who by the way are one of the most valuable companies in the world. Buying a luxury car is not just about the amenities it has, but its status when you drive it. Do you see powerful celebrities driving Hyundais? No. But you would spend $62,000 on a Hyundai because you're a moron.

[@zackspencer1924]

luggage12345 A V8 5 Series does not start at $49,000.

[@pedropedrosoy9890]

luggage12345 lol 5 series is almos 50 grand with NOTHING inside, 50 grand will buy u a Genesis 5.0 same size as the 5 series fully loaded, again fucking moron...

[@luggage12345]

Never have I heard people say: cool Hyundai you got there bro.

[@Rocketjay12]

Has that same ugly "bass mouth" grill that Audi has had for years.

[@plofighter95]

It's still a Hyundai lol

[@pmtcamden1]

If you park this car in Philadelphia, I'll bet you that "front" won't stand a chance. Why would you need such a large nose for breathing. I believe it is smelling other cars' asses!

[@yassineidbelaid2156]

We have a lot of problems with this car ....electronics fails and the rear wheel comes off at high speed I don t recommend it

[@edd9332]

Most self hating brand that is trying so very hard not to be "Korean" lol....
