Should You Wait for 2022? | 2021 Genesis G80 3.5T Prestige AWD Full Tour & Review

[@thadvanness9409]

I just purchased the 2021 G80 3.5. Absolutely love it, power, looks and performance. I get a lot of looks being you don't see many of them on the road. I had a 2018 G80 prior and this one blows it away! I've had several BMW's six to be exact and will never go back....

[@PRNTestDrive]

Congrats on the purchase!

[@solidsnake5614]

I love this company

[@PRNTestDrive]

So do I! I'm seeing a lot more new Genesis models on the road, people are loving them too!

[@korpsofkreig1359]

I’m looking to buy one of these bad boys but with that blue interior and 5 spoke rims 😍

[@PRNTestDrive]

I had the blue interior on the GV70 Sport and really liked it.

[@marcusturner9896]

Nice review keep up the good work

[@PRNTestDrive]

Thanks! We've got some fun stuff in the works!

[@Sc0rpy]

Unique and luxurious

[@PRNTestDrive]

Definitely is!

[@JakeDrives1]

I find it to be a compelling product. I’d definitely have the sedan. I wish the Sport model was actually sporty looking like the GV70 sport vs lux. From pics I’ve seen it looks “meh”. A true sport package on this car would be stunning!!

[@PRNTestDrive]

I just dropped off the GV70 Sport Plus and know what you mean. Something alone those lines for the new G80 Sport would be ideal.

[@kizo172]

Great general information abt the products as always But I'd personally like to hear more abt the driving experience in behind the wheel part in your reviews. Things like the steering feel if its sharp or numb, is the transmission fast and responsive, hows the acceleration compared to the others and if it delivers the claimed performance nice and smooth. As I said thats just my humble opinion these things may not matter to viewers who are not car enthusiasts and just want a commuting tool. Once again thank you very much for your videos 👌

[@PRNTestDrive]

I'll see what I can do! Thanks for the feedback!

Sub!

Glad you liked it, thanks!

[@MercOne]

Not sure how many people want their sedans since they don't sell. The GV80 is outselling everything else they make before the GV70 arrived.

[@PRNTestDrive]

That's the unfortunate reality for the North American auto market. I think it's important for a luxury brand to offer a sedan as a choice, something Lincoln should have reconsidered. I see a lot of GV80s on the road and I'm spotting more GV70s.

[@professor_goodfeels]

I AM HERE!!!!!

[@PRNTestDrive]

I hope you liked it! My issue with the G80 was driving the GV70 Sport Plus immediately after this, and now I wonder if I would get this still!

[@travisbruce5096]

Beautiful outside but the interior is good but u gotta do better to convince me inside, im not sitting on the outside lol. Awesome car tho if u never had any German b4

[@PRNTestDrive]

Very true! Personally I love the interior on these Genesis vehicles, especially compared with new German luxury cars that think large screens are all we need. Physical buttons easily placed are the best ways to make a great car.

[@travisbruce5096]

@@PRNTestDrive lol you are absolutely right, almost all manufactures are screen happy and putting everything to access thru it which is annoying. I do love the gv70 interior the most of Genesis group

[@jlsc4125]

Thankfully, Genesis has not succumbed to the stupidity of most makers and have elected to only have the digital screen at eye level so you can watch the road. Unlike mercedes and worst of all tesla. Love this car, if I was in the market, it would be my choice. I would note that another reviewer drove one for a long trip and got 31.1 mpg in sport mode.

[@PRNTestDrive]

I definitely would have this on my list too!

[@Chris-id2ry]

I test drove this vehicle and it did NOT drive well. Very bumpy and rattled a bit. Inside was amazing! But the drive was not

[@PRNTestDrive]

I’m sorry to hear your experience wasn’t good, maybe there was something wrong with the tire setup?

[@rakhsiprayogo82]

This or Toyota Avalon

[@johnholst]

Not in the same category at all. If you want an HMG competitor, you should look at the K8 or the Grandeur. Sadly, neither one is available in North America.

[@rakhsiprayogo82]

@@johnholst 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ Seriously That G80 is Smaller Than a Toyota Avalon

[@rakhsiprayogo82]

No Fair

[@johnholst]

@@rakhsiprayogo82 But it's a rwd mid sized luxury sedan that competes with the E Class, 5 Series and A6. Not a fwd Toyota. It's apples and oranges.

[@rakhsiprayogo82]

@@johnholst Boomer G80 is Smaller Than a Toyota Avalon I Told You No That G80 is Larger Make Rivals With Other Larger Sedan Like BMW 5 Series,Audi A6 & Mercedes E Class

[@esteemedenergy]

That front end is a bit much for my taste, plus the same engine with no enhancements = pushed me elsewhere.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Fair enough!

[@MercOne]

The comparison to the competition is totally off. For one there is no Lincoln sedan anymore. Secondly does Mercedes and BMW not sell the E450 and 540i in Canada? Those are the competitors to this car, just as comfortable, have the same or more tech and they easily out perform the G80.

[@PRNTestDrive]

They do, I haven’t featured them. I was talking about the cars I actually have experience with.

[@johnholst]

Sure they sell those in Canada. But they're also tens of thousands of dollars more expensive comparably equipped. Not to mention they're not as nice inside or outside and certainly less reliable than the Genesis.

[@MercOne]

@@johnholst Genesis reliability isn’t proven, and nicer is a matter of opinion. The German cars drive better and perform better with better drivetrains. You pay more you get more.

[@johnholst]

@@MercOne Genesis reliability is proven. It ranks higher than any German car except Porsche. Yes, true, "nicer" is a bit subjective. But there's less shiny plastic in the Genesis and the design is far more interesting. Many reviews say the G80 drives better than the current 5 Series! And certainly better than the A6. No, when you buy a German, you pay more for less. Which is fine for many people shopping in this class. They only care about the badge and not really the car.

[@MercOne]

@@johnholst No it isn't, all their newest cars are brand new from the ground up so no it isn't proven. Secondly most cars are reliable today and Genesis isn't some benchmark like Lexus so that argument is invalid. Again you're passing off your opinion as facts, that doesn't work sorry. What you find nicer isn't fact or what you find more interesting isn't fact. The 5-Series and E-Class outperform the G80 and they're also more efficient with their superior performance. Those are FACTS. A 540i or E450 will easily outperform the G80 3.5T. No you pay for a car that drives, feels, handles, drives better. No that tired BS about the badge is what people who talk about brands with no badge say. They got their "badge" by building superior cars. Better than is your opinion, not fact. Performance is a fact, and that is what the Germans do better.

Copycatting the Germans

[@PRNTestDrive]

Everyone copies everyone else these days.

[@trith72]

You are only copycatting if you do it the same, Genesis is doing it better in a lot of ways...

[@jonjonsson2369]

The car looks fantastic ! - except the front GRILLE - it screams - SUCKER !! It is just one more gas-burning oxygen-sucking machine to spew out pollution for our lungs. And the front looks very proud - like that is a great accomplishment !?!?!?

[@edwardhoffmaniii3190]

Go drive a Tesla and get off the page then. And it doesn't cause pollution to great electricity?

[@PRNTestDrive]

Fair enough

Kept expecting you to do a Seth Rogan laugh while accelerating 😂
