[@EricFortuneJr.]

@@LearnAboutFlow tbh, the Genesis brand hasn’t been around long enough to say whether or not they make reliable products. The latest generation of GDI turbocharged engines hasn’t been on the road long enough to make that call. The Koreans are still improving their products, but still have a long ways before they can even see the taillights of a Lexus. I would slot them closer to Infiniti for reliability or maybe a tiny bit better, but Lexus and Acura will definitely outlast the Koreans at the moment. I agree about Lincoln's styling, they look really good but they’re far too complex in terms of engineering. I would guess those small turbo GDI engines would wear out fast hauling those heavy Lincolns around. Lincoln's earlier hybrid systems on the older MKZs were somewhat reliable, but I’m still skeptical of the twin turbo and GDI systems.

I cant be any more satisfied with our purchase. I got the v6 AWD for my wife. Ride quality is gloriously magnificent, does not lose to any other luxury brands in this category, feels as if I am riding through clouds instead of hard asphalt road. Inside cabin is simple and yet refined and elegant - I much prefer this over some other makers' cluttered panels. Lastly, I notice many people doing double takes of this car. I am mightily pleased with the design - those on the design team (interior as well as exterior), along with the chassis and drivetrain team definitely nailed this one. I am also looking to purchase gv70 for myself as I prefer smaller vehicle when it comes out.

I had the G80 in 2017 because I got a great price. I swore I'd get the Gv80 when it came out, but the price on Genesis went up and the availability went down... too bad, it's no longer a brainless decision to get one. However still one of the nicest options in its class.

[@geosh10]

I drove one, it's nice and beautiful. However, no passenger seat memory, no passenger seat massage, and not even cold bottled water in the Genesis waiting room. My Audi Q7 with the 3 liters V6 and Quattro delivers 27 to 28 mpg's doing 70 mph. Genesis needs to separate itself from Hyundai quickly and lower the price. The new Acura MDX is much cheaper, and it's a great ride too. I'd pick the GV80 over everything but the Q7 and Cayenne because of the dealership network and customer service. Just my two cents.

[@Playb0ymari]

Nah it’s a luxury suv that’s what it’s intended to be. Why would they need to lower the price. You’re getting more than what you’re already paying for. Average purchase price in 2020 for a vehicle was $35K. So I don’t think a $50K suv is outside of a middle class family’s reach

The texture of the leather in the Prestige trim is also divine! The 3D cluster loses it’s appeal quick. There are 2 sensors that track your eye movements and every once and awhile they glitch and the cluster will flicker very quickly. We do not use the 3D function anymore.

I think the green paint color options is one of the best ones

[@MEAMERIE]

People are hating on a vehicle they have never even sat in. It looks great inside and out… then people want to complain about the price. How can they be competitive if they always have to undercut the competition by $15-20k??

[@k.bryant8174]

I owned a 2019 BMW X5M and traded it in for the GV80 Prestige and love it. The BMW had speed (which also meant annual tire swaps $$$$), but the GV80 has luxury. Where I live, there's only 2 of them so it gets more attention than my M. It'll also hold it's value more than my M. I live in a snow area and would recommend a snow setup.

[@kazemshah2156]

I ordered my Prestige a month ago and should be here in another 2-3 months. How does it deal with the snow? I'm in BC Canada, so snow is always going to be a problem

[@yes8032]

Nice classy looking suv something different from most luxurious brands

[@confidential1035]

Damn. Really wanted this but can’t deal with rough rides.

[@TJwasHere92]

Can you start giving input on the speakers/sound systems in the cars you review

[@markv78]

My concern would be more about how well it's gonna hold its value and resale vs it's competition? What maybe a value now ends up being a loss later

[@robertohernandez1445]

You gotta do the GV70

[@god-son-love]

Korean companies like Samsung LG definitely integrate well into the Korean automobile industry. That's why Europeans and Japan car companies can't catch up with the wave of electronics interface. Korea cars are in my view at least one Gen ahead of all other car brands including Japanese cars. The only near contender is Chinese cars. Tesla is moving production to China. Which tells a lot

[@zeroproblemsbigfella]

How much was it as tested?

[@TattooedGQ]

I love the way these things look......but I can't get over the fact that it's a $70K Hyundai....but then again Lexus is a Toyota and Acura is a Honda.

[@dankim7031]

Don't forget, Nissan = Infiniti 😉

[@adilsagadiyev5090]

and audi = voltswagon

[@TattooedGQ]

@@adilsagadiyev5090 so is Porsche and Lamborghini (gallardo/R8)

[@ajtam05]

Give it time my guy. Genesis is still new. So the fact that they’re as good as they are after only 5-7 yrs is pretty impressive. I’d say 10 more years and it’ll be a luxury staple (if they keep improving & upping their game). So far…I like the GV70 and looking for that one.

[@bam2xl14]

Hyundai are add “market adjustments” to the GV80 and GV70. They will really hurt Genesis sales.

[@willyswheelsg70modding99]

Big fan of Genesis

[@LeatherandLuxuryCarsd]

Was the window open? Or is it just that loud of a cabin?

[@xxxpensive1415]

I hope more company's can blend luxury and performance at a cheap price.

[@AYouTubeChannelwithNoName]

Ironic considering your username lol

[@mig3872]

Is it worth leaving Lexus experience/service for Genesis? Where I'm at dealership is still with Hyundai and not a stand alone luxury dealership.

[@RLTtizME]

Risky.

[@naveenthemachine]

Genesis can have the worst dealer experience vs Lexus and still produce better quality vehicles than Lexus

[@RLTtizME]

@@naveenthemachine That is a little shaky my friend. That turd may be way too big to swallow sweetie.

[@naveenthemachine]

@@RLTtizME dealer experience can easily be overlooked when you sit in the gv80.

[@RLTtizME]

@@naveenthemachine Not for me baby. If it can go wrong it will....and from experience....I sure as hell do not want a sub-standard dealership. You are all googly eyed. When the gadgets start to crap out....then you will come to your senses after standing in line behind a fat guy checking in his beater Elantra.

[@tyrisscott4533]

When are you going to do a review on the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander ?

[@gene978]

I never found any SUV of any price to be sexy, or even luxurious looking. But this GV80 Checks off so many boxes, Sexy, Sporty, and Luxurious. I will say Acura’s MDX is a very sporty and good looking SUV. Shame all new vehicles are having all these issues getting to the lots.

[@silentmajority2028]

Where does the front license plate go?

[@cygen_divine1570]

Your review was fire🔥🔥🔥 I agree with your statement that Genesis looks way better than the Bentley but in my opinion, it looks better than a ton of its competitors.

[@caglioso]

If the dealership experience at Genesis wasn’t so horrendous I’d scoop one up tomorrow. I tested a G70 last month and the dealer was so bad I couldn’t bear to go back. Once they have a proper dealer network established I imagine it will get much better.

[@kyron2092]

Honestly the saddest thing about owning Korean vehicles. So many people complain about the dealership experience at Hyundai/Kia dealerships. I feel like I got lucky with the Kia dealership I go to. It isn't the best but it seems like everyone else has worse experiences

[@caglioso]

@@kyron2092 yea I mean I’m not concerned if the treatment isn’t super high level, but this was ridiculous. First they had me test a completely different spec than what they said they had. The car they had me test had damage on the inside- the interior a-pillar was hanging off and the salesman had to rip it down just for the test drive. Then the car didn’t have any gas in it! I barely got it on the road before having to go back since the tank light was going off 🤦‍♂️

[@charletfoster8917]

I seriously want one n great review 🙏🏿

[@naveenthemachine]

The new Lexus RX 2023 f sport performance lost badly to this. Well done genesis

[@kevintuck9532]

The winged emblem will probably be on the refreshed model. They usually spell it out initially for brand recognition.

[@2018tundra]

Genesis hybrid or electric will be great..

[@jonq.public5892]

I'm waiting for my Cardiff Green/ Green 3.5 Prestige to get delivered on Sept. 21st. I think this car is plenty fast and I'm not going to be drag racing a luxury SUV some on completely fine with the 0-60 in 5 secs. I'm thinking at this point in automotive engine technology in the Luxury SUV market that the 0-60 test is a bit outdated. I'm confused as to who the people are that are buying SUV's for drag racing.

[@RM-uj5st]

I'm waiting for the exact same vehicle. I was told it may be delivered after my expected Sept 21 date.🤦🏿‍♂️

[@gestebu]

At the time of this video I'm wondering if there was a temp spare. At least for 2023 model with the Prestige 22" wheels they only offer a kit vs. a temp spare.
