2018 Genesis G80 3.3T Sport Review and Road Test in 4K UHD!

[@minde0511]

Finally I'm updagrading and G80 3.3T is the one for me. 2018 models run for $33K with low miles. Can't beat that.

[@edward9477]

I purchased a 2018 G80 Sport 3.3T about 4 weeks ago (thanks to Alex's review and high praise from other knowledgeable reviewers). I've read about, shopped, and test drove cars for the past 18 month and I'm very pleased with my decision. I also found the purchase process at my local Hyundai dealer to be a fun and stress-free experience. In addition to it's power, comfort, design, value and safety features, the G80 Sport has an eye-catching mystique. That is, very few people own, let alone have seen or heard of the vehicle, creating both an understated presence and an in "your face" curiosity.

[@bwrecks]

happy with your decision?

[@lrodd247]

Ed You still happy with your purchase? I just can't get over that glossy carbon fiber that just blinds you everytime the sun hits it at an angle.. Is there a way to switch that out? I have a 09 genesis with 138,000 now and thinking of upgrading to this. Thanks ✌️

[@swanblake]

I love This car. The fact that hid headlamps are standard are much appreciated. Would defiantly take this over and Volvo, Jaguar, BMW, Cadillac product. Well done Genesis!

[@thejam70]

Drove every car that you reviewed, except the Lexus. The Volvo was hardly a luxury car, the turbo/supercharged 4 was not refined at all. Love the A6, but it was 10-15K more pricey, same with the BMW. Bought a g80 3.3T. Great car.

[@Vegas_Des]

You’re wearing a suit in your profile pic so I believe you

[@fatalradius]

Did you get a good deal? I test drove the G70 3.3T and was impressed! However, not so much with their lease offers. For 3k down they want me to pay 650 a month for a 47k car. I just shook their hand and walked out.

[@Woody21369]

Do you still have your G80 Sport? Your thought to this point? I have been driving the wheels off my 2012 Genesis 5.0 R-Spec and totally love the 429HP V8... I am ready to trade it in and get the 2018 as the price is now under 30K.

[@thejam70]

Richard Woodward just turned it back in. I loved the way the car drove and it had plenty of power. I went through three batteries three sets of brakes and they replaced the rear end all under warranty. I did not like the dealership experience and complained to Genesis corporate and they actually sent me 300 bucks to make it right. The valet service was hit or miss many times they did not have a loaner and I question whether the dealership had the expertise at technician this car needs. I would own these under warranty and I think the value is incredible. I’m in between cars now but have an old Passat TDI as my daily driver. Just waiting on a great deal to come my way!

[@thejam70]

fatalradius I put five grand down and paid 750 a month for three years for 18,000 miles per year. I have sat in the G 70 and just think it’s too small so I like the G 80 or the G 90

[@jeanpaman4600]

I recently test drove the 2021 G70. But, I fell in love with the body style and color of the 2018 G80 Sport in Polar Ice. It took me one year of searching and patience but I finally found one (slightly used) with less than 12k miles. It was worth the wait!

[@chuckgarrity7230]

Just bought a G80 Sport AWD and for my money, by far the best road car I've ever owned. I replaced a long line of SUV's, the last one being an Acura RDX. Yeah, I'm giving up the ability to haul 18 bags of steer manure one or two times a year, but for the other 99% of my "drives", a much more enjoyable experience.

[@NA-du5vm]

I test drove this car this pass weekend and I was completely floored by how exceptional this car is. The quality inside and out along with amazing ride and loaded options all for under 60K is amazing. I don't have to go into how great this vehicle is because Alex has already put hard work into doing so. I'll only add that at the end of this month I will be a very proud owner of one. When Genesis comes out with a SUV & coupe I'm not sure they will really take away much of its German competition consumers, but I feel they will be a very strong contender for Lexus.

[@dyster5179]

[@ericd.4460]

I'm right there with you. Need to get to work on a giant pile of money. Will definitely be the most expensive car I have owned to date. But it's near perfect to me. I know that Alex shows the V8 Ultimate to be the same price as the sport model with the turbo engine, wondering if the sport has all of the upgrades that the Ultimate has, like the audio system and larger high resolution screen for the infotainment.

[@BCCHSMD]

Eric D. Wait a year or two and it will be a great used car deal. I see Hyundai Equus for less than 30 grand in my area usually 13 to 14 model year

[@ericd.4460]

BCCHSMD I think that I will look at the models after the change from Hyundai. But you are right, there are definitely good deals to be had right now on G 80's, just not that sport model yet. But I'm perfectly fine with a 5.0 ultimate though. Heck I might even do the V6.

Look at the beautiful instrument cluster at 11:40.. Simple, clear, easy to read and beautiful (especially the tachometer, speedometer, fuel guage, temp, and LCD.).. This is traditional yet brilliant if you ask me.. I wish other auto manufactures would do this and quit trying to develop "new" strange, ugly, hard to read dashboard designs. This would look great in say perhaps a Honda Pilot, Ridgeline and CRV - instead of the wierd, strange dashboards each have now.

Upscale version of the Kia Stinger One of the most underrated cars sold in America. Great buy for under $60k

[@Chubz79]

As a former Acura RLX owner, Acura needs to take notes. The RLX while a great car, had a boring design and the 310hp motor on the standard model was actually decent, as it was underrated and more like 320-330hp

[@acorb87]

Very happy to see this review. I own a 2012 Kia Optima EX T with 274hp and have been very pleased with it. Looking forward to the Stinger and other future luxury or near-luxury entries from Kia and Hyundai, love the features included for the price. Resale value has been bad from what I have seen, so might get something like this lightly used when it comes time to buy again. Thank you Alex!

[@ericd.4460]

I'm glad to know that you've had a good experience with your Kia. I have a 2008 Lexus GS 350 AWD. Time for something new and different. I'm leaning heavily towards a Hyundai, Genesis or Kia. The G80 is my fave, but then I have to pony up 55k, but that's probably the way that I'll go in the end. Also considering the Azera and Cadenza. Really the only thing that I don't like about the Kias is the use of red backlighting on buttons and knobs throughout the car. I find the white, light blue or violet colors to be preferable.

[@acorb87]

I agree about the red lights being visually unappealing in the Kias; I also prefer white or a light blue...maybe anything other than that red! Something for you to consider regarding your next purchase; I've seen a lightly used 2016 Cadenza with 8,000 miles on it for $21,500 at a dealer. I received a promotional email from Kia last summer trying to unload inventory, they were offering a new, base 2016 Cadenza for $24,000. It is a very nice car, and for the price of an almost base Optima or a Civic touring at that! I also like the G80, in the sport trim.

[@ericd.4460]

Yeah, I'm looking on cars.com, that's where I found my Lexus. I always look at the offerings that have very low miles and have a very attractive price. It's a little bit dumb to buy a brand new car at full price. Another thing that I am very particular about is the color of the interior. Upon further examination, it looks like that 2018 G80 sport does not offer a beige or Ivory interior, which is going to be a problem for me. I don't want a black, white or gray interior.

[@howlingwolf125y]

Thanks Aaron.. That's exactly what I was thinking.. I was thinking this too about the Kia's (like the Kia Sorento).. White or Light blue would be much better than red. I like (I mean I LOVE) the instrument panel (dashboard) behind the steering wheel on this car (Genesis G80).. This is a non-red and simple traditional design. I hope Honda will take note of this for the Pilot, CR-V and Ridgeline.

[@howlingwolf125y]

Another idea that I had ... For night driving for example the Kia Sorento has red interior dashboard lights.. I don't like red and would prefer white or light blue. With all the lighting technology these days.. Isn't there a way for auto makers to find a way to let the owner's customize the light color for the interior dashboard lights? This would let the auto owner choose between red, light purple, light blue, or green for the interior lights.. Owners could even change the color if they get tired of a color - or if passengers prefer another color.. Just an idea..

[@killacamfoo]

It's not hard to beat the amazing lexus styling of a grill that mirrors a chinese finger trap, lol.

[@drewscott6013]

Genesis is only a small portion of Hyundai's profits. They make a huge amount of money selling Elantras and Sonatas. Not to mention the KIA division which has produced the Optima, Sorento and Forte. Because of those cars success, they have the ability to branch out into the luxury market and really put some good money into engineering and design. And as a current BMW owner, they're doing a well enough job, that I will be switching to Genesis for my next car. I refuse to pay one more BMW maintenance bill.

[@chuckgarrity7230]

You're basically describing the first dealer I visited to see the G80. VERY tight customer parking and what I would discribe as maybe a 1980 Russian car dealer showroom. The 2nd where I bought my new '18 G80 Sport was much better. From what I was told, Hyundai will be separating the 2 brands into separate showrooms withing 2 years. I think Genesis is about to debut 2 SUV models as well and that show greatly help the brand. Porsche, Jaguar, and other luxury brands have doubled their annual sales after introducing luxury SUV's and I suspect the same thing will happen with Genesis. And the increased foot traffic will probably help the G70, G80 and G90 as well.

[@gilvietor1918]

I just love this car, I think I am going to try it out.

[@brianhughes2105]

Alex, i appreciate this review as i have my eye on this car for my next purchase. When comparing this review to the 2017 G80 V8, i noticed some variance in your ratings. Rear seat comfort was lower in the v8 than the 3.3t. Also you say the trunk is smaller than the Volvo S90 for the 2017 but larger for the 2018. Has your impression of the car changed since the last review or is the sport that much different? I like the grill and lack of carbon fiber of the v8 but the other updates for the sport are very appalling. I'm torn.

[@e.simons6964]

I maybe "old-school" but I like the fact it has the CD player and the direct knobs of the center dash configuration! Pretty good looking sedan. If it were mine, I'd remove all badging and that trunk "wings" logo B4 I head out on the road! Just my thoughts on this car.

Alex, can you say a few words about the pluses/minuses of staggered wheels? I assume they can't be rotated corner-to-corner. Can they be rotated side-to-side? What's the impact on tire wear? Thanks!

[@t.k.morris]

Of course you can rotate them side to side as long as you are not using directional tread tires. As long as you can keep a good alignment on your car there is not that much accomplished in savings by moving rear wheels to the front. Where as FWD cars have to be rotated regularly to keep the tires from feathering the tread.

[@andrewnprice]

Okay the grill looks decent in that angrier form, in fact I would say it is more attractive than the new A8 styling. (Although admittedly I haven't seen either in person yet.) However, seriously they need to do a better job hiding the adaptive cruise control array if they are going to open up the grill like that. It looks cheap and tacked on as it is currently implemented.

[@edmaluf]

The more I look at this car, the more I think Hyundai made the right decision creating the Genesis brand. It's just gorgeous from every angle. Specially the front.

[@palebeachbum]

I hope Hyundai distances the Genesis brand more. Right now they still look way too much like Hyundai cars and selling them at Hyundai dealerships seems crappy when you're dropping $60k on a premium car. When Lexus came out, they had entirely independent dealerships which were a totally difference experience for Toyota. That's the way it should be.

[@filippkhan3935]

It gives you more for your money or undercuts the competition by 7,000$+. The peasant dealership experience will cost them some sales, fair enough. But the price proposition alone is good enough to sell cars imo. Theyll probably have exclusive dealerships in the future when they have a full lineup I imagine.

[@Elusive25]

palebeachbum they are you gotta relax, they are transitioning

[@geosh10]

palebeachbum, I have a 2016 Genesis and you're right. Taking my $53,500 MSRP car (didn't pay close to that) to the Hyundai dealership reminded me why I would never pay the full premium price for this car. It's a wonderful car, but the service isn't on par with other luxury manufacturers and dealers. They didn't wash my car or vacuum it, left a screwdriver under my hood after an oil change. They also put cheap Walmart wiper blades on my Genesis. I of course made them take them off and order the correct blades for my car. Hyundai needs to step up their service departments.

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

palebeachbum I agree. Hyundai dealerships are full of slimy used car salesmen type staff.

Great review Alex -- very comprehensive and complete -- better than most other reviews. I just bought the G80 3.3 Sport and love it -- the best car I've ever had -- coming from a 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 V6 Ultimate (G80 V6 Ultimate equivalent) which was the best I've ever had prior to the Sport -- coming from a line of Lexus GSs, Audi, Toyota, Honda, Mazda, and Nissan. I've had cars that were better than the Genesis in one or two ways, but none that had the best combination of everything like the Genesis. My only minor dislike is the Sport grill that seems to emphasize the smart cruise control sensor panel -- not attractive. I prefer the distinctive horizontal grill pattern of the non-Sport G80.

Can we get a 4.4 V8 Twin Turbo please? Direct extrapolation (365/3.3*4.4) would get it to 486 HP. Overall it is a very well balanced car especially for the $.

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

Do the backseats fold flat?

[@swanblake]

An interesting match up wpu,d be to see if the GSF is faster to 60mph than the V8 5L G80

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

+Blake Swan it is but not by much, I comment on that I think in our look at the V8 G80

[@marvinnelson8839]

Definitely carbon should be in a sport trim as opposed to wood, wood is dated and old fashioned

[@tdkleffman]

imo, the G80 sport is too expensive! Put the turbo v6 in a base G80 and it's game on!

[@IReahpZz]

Troy Kleffman could happen soon, they may drop the 3.8 and lower the price on the 3.3, kinda like the Genesis coupe dropping the 2.0t

[@tdkleffman]

eventually perhaps to spur sales and simplify the engine line up. time will tell!

[@Arunkumar-bg5xk]

Looking for comparison to a Kia Stingray

[@edweagle]

Fyi 2015 model has autohold too (well in Canada)

[@ThousanWhite]

Still the best

[@sarpsarp8987]

which engine of the genesis would burn more gasoline, 3.3 turbo with higher horse power or 3.8 atmospheric with lower horse power?

[@whosdondada]

3.8

[@t.k.morris]

The 3.8L naturally aspirated motor will give you better fuel mileage and only require regular 87 octane gas.

Any word on when you might be reviewing the G70?
