Is the 2025 Genesis G80 3.5T a BETTER new luxury sport sedan than a BMW 540i?

As a hater of all things SUV, I'm just glad sedans are still offered. The exterior surface execution is absolutely exquisite! The interior would have been perfect with a regular cluster analog or digital instead of those ridiculous screens. Makes the dash look so tacky. 60-65K would make it compelling, I'm still not convinced it's up there with the Germans.

[@ahmadkey2421]

I own this exact model with the 3.5. And I can definitely say this is a comfortable and quiet ride. I wouldn’t recommend changing drive modes while driving because the transmission acts a little funky for a second. This is my 3rd one and my wife and I purchased the same one matching one red interior and the other black interior would recommend and the warranty is perfect if you’re the first owner. Lifetime on engine and transmission 3 years maintenance and complimentary pick up and drop off from where you are or from home with a loaner. And much more

[@mickeybrumfield764]

I like the new Genesis badging on the steering wheel. It should be good for an additional 5 hp. Guess it's not too bad reviewing vehicles when you get a message out of it. Good overall review.

[@jenan9016]

I had a 2020 G80. Loved it, until my Genesis dealer blew up the engine overfilling an oil change, screwed the engine replacement, then tried to scam me into a G80 loaner replacement - at my cost - that turned out to be 80% repainted and they did not disclose it. Genesis corporate was absolutely useless through the whole process.

Genesis looks good on the surface. Put one on a lift alongside a 5 Series, and you will see all the much cheaper steel suspension parts compared to the aluminum parts on the 5 Series. Also they use a cheap quality stainless steel with poor welds on their exhaust systems. Also MPG is always low because they use an old tired out engine that is not efficient at all. Dealership support is awful. They are always attached to a Hyundai or Kia dealership and treat you like you have an old beater Kia.

I'm a Lexus owner and have always remained a loyal owner. I can honestly say that with every Lexus sedan being on average 7 years old with very little changing, Lexus should be extremely worried. There are features on this non Genesis flagship sedan that aren't even optional on my Lexus LS500 f sport. Shame on Lexus for thinking reliability is the only thing that sells and congrats to Genesis for understanding the opposite. Cars need to put a smile on your face when driving it, and nothing in the Lexus sedan lineup does that currently. Sad!

[@lostalx]

Genesis powertrains are not good. Period. Lexus IS 500 has a 2UR-GSE that's a legendary engine, there's no contest for that from any company out there not even AMG, Audi RS and BMW M. Lexus IS interior is really well made, I do not know how can you think it's bad. The only issue I had was Nuluxe, Japan has Leather and the 2025 MY finally put folding mirrors which I think was a legit massive BS mistake from Lexus, they don't even put that on an RC F in North American market. Lexus is run by bean counters but their engineering dept was well maintained however that's soon going to be past because newer ES will kill the V6 and the V8 from RC F, LC 500 and IS 500 will be retired soon.

I've said it once and I'll say it again... The Germans ain't got nothing on Genesis aside from their better performance engines. All that to be said, I do not think this car is worth $80k. Just can't justify that.. It's just a larger more spacious version of the G70 and that's about it. All the tech, nappa leather, and everything else including engine performance in this car is no different than the G70, yet it costs $20k more. $30k more if you take into consideration you can buy a 1 year old CPO G70 fully loaded for under $50k easily
