I think car review channels put too much emphasis on performance when reviewing vehicles. The average driver doesn't care about 0-60 and sports car handling. There are cars for that. The average buyer of a G80 is concerned about styling, luxury, and features. Genesis knows that there are companies who will outdo their "Sport" line, and I don't think that they worry about that too much.

The Genesis engineers would be wise to watch this video for a game plan of how to make improvements for next year.

[@silverindigo8302]

Those improvements would be contingent on the target consumer they want to reach. To be fair a lot of the suggestions made here seems to be suggesting pushing the car into sport mode when that’s not the purpose of this particular vehicle. I come to that conclusion based on ket words that he says (pushing to the limit, get into sport + mode, etc). The average lux care buyer doesn’t care about that for the most part. They getting from home, to the office, to see the grand kids. So I think these suggestions should be put into perspective

Truly appreciate the attention to detail you guys out into your product reviews. Don't ever start to dumb it down & focus on 0-60 and press release bullet-points! Small side note; am I the only one who noticed something weird with the focus in many scenes of this? Not sure if it was intentional or not, but I was not a fan.

Genesis is following the 90's Lexus playbook almost to the word and I'm loving every second of it. The only difference is the Genesis line-up has real style that stands out in the crowd and the interior designs are really special to each model and I truly appreciate Hyundai putting the effort to make Genesis stand out as a true luxury brand unlike some other OEM's (cough, cough Cadillac).

[@tonysterbenc]

No, they're not following the Lexus playbook, in multiple ways. Lexus started with a dedicated free-standing, all-new dealer network where anyone who wanted in had to agree to unprecedented standards of customer service. The cars themselves were built with astounding quality, and when the first LS's got a defective third brake light, they recalled every single car and gave a loaner -- unheard of at the time. And right up front, they created the best parts network in auto history, unlike Genesis that sometimes leaves you waiting a month for a part. No similarity.

The proper way to drive a BMW or M-B is to lease one, 3 years maximum. After that all the maintenance nightmares are inherited by the buyer who wants to try to impress others with his expensive car. Been there, done that; I'll stick with Japanese and Korean reliability and low cost of ownership.

[@philhenderson3516]

This is a great product but it didn't really evolve much from its past former self. Sure, it's got sharper looks now and a much nicer interior, but the price has crept up so much that it forewent its most appealing quality, bang for buck! The prior gen G80, while more austere and conservative, and obviously not as lavish on the inside, was a much better value proposition. It was $15K cheaper than this new one fully loaded, and you could get discounts on it. I get that Genesis has surpassed its competition in many metrics, but its unique trait (going back to its former Hyundai Genesis roots) was offering value above all, differentiation and reliability. The value quotient is no longer present. I do love the fact that they're trying to carve their own path while retaining a purist soul (RWD platform, V6 turbo engines + electric, and pride in their products being fully assembled in its home country unlike some Japanese brands I could mention), but if separating itself as an independent brand meant duplicating their price of entry, it'll end up alienating potential customers more so than attract. They have a great formula and very compelling products, but the brand equity still doesn't warrant the premiums they want to charge.

Not really the target demographic for this car but I will say it's really cool seeing how upmarket previously "economy" brands are moving. Genesis looks like a great alternative to the more entry level American or German luxury offerings. Of course, there isn't really a lineage or brand mythos for the brand to fall back but, it's cool seeing these manufacturers rapidly evolve their offerings. The era of the end of combustion cars has been a lot more exciting than the boring stuff we got in the 2000s and 2010s due to the recession. Mazda for instance is a really standout brand with their more normal people oriented cars being so incredibly refined for their price points.

TOO BAD. I was rooting for Hyundai, but they always come up short in the tuning department (transmission, suspension, etc). That's where the Germans have put the extra work in. You'll pay more for a German brand, but anyone that has ever developed anything knows that the final 10% of development / refinement / working-out-of-bugs requires WAY more work (in terms of efficiency) than the first 90%. Unfortunately, Hyundai stops at the 90% mark -- which is fine for most people. But if you are the type that expects the car to perform at that last 10% you probably won't be happy.

[@jamestrent2236]

I’ve got a G80 Luxury and the interior build quality and materials used matches or rivals cars at 2-3x the price. From every button being machined aluminium and so effectively damped you can’t hear a thing to the natural exposed wood, soft nappa leather literally encases you and the suede headliner really sells the luxury fantasy. The interior is a textural heaven. The drive is responsive, quick, quiet, and nimble enough to blend sporty, comfort and GT all together. It’s the best of all worlds. Problem with German cars is after a while they begin to rely on the fact you’ll fall in love with the badge enough to ignore the overuse of cheap plastic and hard scratchy composite products- it’s eye level luxury only. I’ve owned Jaguars and BMW’s and went to purchase a Merc before the Genesis- needless to say they all pale in comparison.

$7 / gallon for premium fuel here in Montreal... I'll be waiting for the BEV version.

[@youngbrevy]

Yea I’m thinking of switching to some for of Hybrid for my next car. Ontario is at $1.52 per litre for regular.

That’s what the globalist overlords want you to do.

[@antoinepageau8336]

@@austinfrazier7325 I'm currently spending $200/week on fuel. BEV is a no brainer, "bring on the globalist overlords" 😂

I prefer the shape/looks of my 2019 G80 Sport. Added a trunk lid spoiler & a rear window spoiler recently; love it.

[@SeagullStray]

Have a previous gen G80 5.0. I don't care whether they hit it out of the park with this or any other car. I'll not buy another Genesis until they're operating a separate service center from Hyundai.

[@bwatt1383]

Dang, On the forums there was a g90 owner that caught terrible unprofessional behavior from them repeatedly, what was your experience?

[@simonmoriarty9987]

Thx for another brilliant car review. You are the best in the biz

[@patl8363]

Which one? The BMW vs g80. I think with the g80 you would suffer less back problems over the life of the car ownership experience when it comes to maintenance and service. Pretty sure with the BMW you would be bent at 90 degrees everytime you went in for service.

[@thomaswattle9828]

damn skippy. 300.00 for oil change, that's why I sold mine.

[@jaytharpe3247]

I hope Genesis doesn’t fall into the habit of chasing the Germans. They don’t need to throw out features just to say it’s available on the car if the features aren’t well thought out. Maybe I’m getting old but I would like a luxury car to be quiet, stylish, comfortable, and reliable. I think Genesis has a niche to fill since Lexus has gotten lazy with their product offerings and relying heavily on their reputation for reliability.

[@ThousanWhite]

I thought the first generation G70 was one of the best interiors in the entire class. They're taking that to a whole new level with these next generation G70 and G80, especially for what you get for the money.

[@jonrazon7379]

Enjoy your reviews...keep up the great work!

[@norwegianblue2017]

Those waffle-iron rims though.

[@blueshark3098]

Just checked the stickers for 2023 G80s. For the 2023, the Sport comes without the rear-wheel steer. The Sport Prestige comes with the rear-wheel steer. The Sport sticker is $6,000 less.

Any company that offers a 10 year 100k mile powertrain warranty will dial things back a little at the limit. That's just the unfortunate truth.

[@dragospahontu]

Lol

[@JonathanBergman2Go]

Love the use of focus in some of the interior shots! Kind of reminds me of a 1990s car commercial

[@speedracer2please]

Nice, I hope the base model G80s and G70s turn out to be pretty reliable so I can grab one CPO some day

[@rosgoncharuk2403]

Keep in mind that the extended powertrain warranty get's cut to 5y/60k when the first owner sells the car.

[@speedracer2please]

@@rosgoncharuk2403 oh crap, I did not know that. The 10 year powertrain warranty was the biggest selling point

[@ruslanmishiyev9815]

Would you say this or the normal G80 is quieter than the current generation ES350 or ES300h?

[@savagegeese]

The G80 is quieter than the ES by about 15 to 20%

[@rosgoncharuk2403]

@@savagegeese what are your thoughts on the packaging options? IMO it got worse with v6 AWD only and small stuff like you can't (and you couldn't before) get HUD on 2.5.

[@Fasty2107]

@@savagegeese Was this perceived or measured?

[@savagegeese]

@@Fasty2107 I measure luxury cars. However going by db levels is not completely accurate because that only measures spl and not frequency. Which is where the g80 is next level.
