Agreed. Id take the Genesis over the Infiniti, sure I'd love to test drive them both , but by watching this video and other reviews and seeing both in person . Genesis takes the cake. Also the cockpit of the Genesis looks like the inside of an actual Bentley or 130,000$ plus luxury SUV.. yes the pictures/videos look good but doesn't do it justice to seeing it IRL.

[@edwink1467]

Fair enough, but I wouldn't give Infiniti that much credit for simply getting rid of Nissan CVT in a luxury SUV. That should be expected in this segment. Also, this GV80 with the 2.5L turbo 4-cylinder instead of this 3.5L twin-turbo V6 is more comparable to the Infiniti in both power and pricing. At that price point, however, the Infiniti loses by miles. I do hope Infiniti continues to improve as they have completely fallen off the luxury segment in terms of competitiveness. This is at least a good start.

This is how I would rank this segment: 1. MDX Type S (best value and all rounder) 2. X5 40i (quickest and best handling) 3. GLE450 AMG (great all rounder, plus I’m a bit biased towards AMGs) 4. GV80 3.5t (excellent interior and full of features) 5. Lincoln Aviator (most luxurious interior, but way too heavy and hybrid fuel economy is below average) 6.

The gv80 doesn’t even try and be sporty and it’s low to mid 5’s 0-60. Also they made the exhaust which sounds very good on the TLX type S sound like a vaccum cleaner on the MDX.

However, I don’t think Genesis holds much impression of prestige when you explain it is a luxury Hyundai. Also I can’t imagine the dealer experience is as good as INFINITI, where I have been treated exceptionally well (probably not as well as Lexus but close). One final thought, INFINITIs seem to last forever. Lots of people drive them in my area and there are lots of older ones out there with tons of miles that have held up extremely well.

[@rahimi4762]

Genesis main issue is itself. Sharing floor space with the Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy

[@techboy95]

The GV80 seats most definitely look a whole lot more luxurious

[@LS1007]

The GV80 gets my vote. No mention that the GV80’s rear window is larger and therefore has better rear visibility? Great job guys! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@friendlygiant2502]

Have the GV80 in Adriatic Blue. True head turner and an amazing SUV. No complaints love it and glad to have chosen this over german brands

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

Genesis is the clear decision. Maybe an MDX type S. Definitely not the Infiniti.

[@positivewearclothing9283]

I currently have a 2018 QX60. I really appreciate the quality and reliability. I have had this car for 3 years only had to replace tires, oil changes, front brake pads. For me having better gas mileage is extremely important, one of the major reasons why I chose the QX60. Also it also has a lot of cargo space which for carrying bags and stuff is so important to me. It also carries my passengers comfortably. I also use my truck to pull my boat with no issues. Love my truck. Here is what I think about the QX60 AND GV80 Video above. 1. GV80 Definitely commands a better look, however the paint job they use is less luxurious. Not sure if it needs another clear coat. 2. I like the extra horsepower with the GV80 but I don't even use sport on mine, bad on the MPG. My car is fast enough, but we all like more speed. 3. GV80 I hear drives more luxurious, I can believe. 4. QX60 BOSS SPEAKERS are great 5. QX60 has more cargo space and 3rd row space 6. GV80 HAS 22 INCH RIMS. is better 7. QX60 LOST ME ON THE FACK EXHAUST AND PLASTIC AROUND THE WHEELS Bottom Line If you want a more practical vehicle QX60 wins on Price, Gas Mileage, Space, and Paint. If you want a faster better looking luxury vehicle, then GV80 is your car. I'm more practical than looks. I use my car to the fullest, I use every inch of the cargo space, every seat in the car, and use the Eco mode to save even more gas. I hate seeing the pump in LA. I love the paint on the QX60 because it is so easy to maintain and looks great even when it is dirty. The GV80 looks real dirty when it is not freshly washed. The QX60 is still great looking, but the GV80 is better for your image. If GV80 had more space and better gas mileage I would pay extra for it. I'm still waiting for a 7 seater hybrid or electric version around these prices.

[@adebolaadebo5118]

Thank you for this review. As a mom of 4 looking to get this car this year,trying to do my research

[@fahmidnd2]

qx60 just on the looks, seems like its in the same ball park as a traverse. That gv80 looks stunning

[@pedrorosado3622]

Love the back and forth "arguments" between you two. One of the most entertaining videos you guys have made, keep it up.

[@abysswalker2403]

god i love how genesis cars look, they have a couple new weird ones but this one is great

[@alp2ccc138]

I own 2.5 turbo prestige GV80, same color as the one in the video. Paid msrp like 7 months ago, 59k plus tax. I had to fly to Dallas to get it and I drove it back to Houston, I was blown away and can't forget that auto pilot experience. Hyundai was 2nd only after Tesla last year when it comes to that automation , not sure what is new in 2022. Unbelievable vehicle, ask me anything , I'm a restless person so when I research, I read everything and watch ever single video out there.

[@stevekreye5823]

What about the infotainment controls, do you still find them awkward as shown in the review after several months of use? 25:02

Straight pipes guys are really chill & good looking

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thanks Kevin

[@khalilmontgomery7165]

That qx60 is a great upgrade im so happy for infiniti

[@08VaNupe]

I personally don’t like the GV80 but the interior and those wheels look fantastic. I would buy the GV70 over the GV80. Being a current Infiniti QX70 owner, I like the size of the smaller SUV’s.I also think the corporate genesis look fits the smaller GV70 better. Infiniti did a great job upgrading the QX60 from the last generation. They need to add a sports package or some better looking wheels.

[@ItsTheSidJ]

Fun comparison! You guys should do more of these. Would be super helpful for potential car buyers who are cross shopping.

[@giorgosvere7186]

GV80 all day

[@spcw568]

Its like comparing a xc40 momentum and r-design. Sure its 10k more for the r design but the car is almost fully loaded to begin with and if you spec the momentum(pretty much fully loaded) it comes to 2k cheaper. I mean at that price, you get nubuck(alcantara feeling), and a sportier looking car. In my opinion i would pay for it. Good video guys

[@tomaracic1492]

2022 INFINITI qx60 great vehicle 👍

[@ileem4034]

This is one of the best reviews ever! It was very informational, fun and entertaining to watch. Definitely thinking to get QX60 for my wife and the GV80 for myself. Thanks, Guys!!

[@huntsw]

GV80 seats are insanely comfortable as long as you are taller than a child

[@mw9984]

Design of the GV 80 beats the hell out of the other car.

[@Naldynator]

Infiniti for me! Looks just as good, has a bigger and more comfortable third row, larger cargo capacity, better fuel economy, better reliability - most likely - from world renown VQ series V6, more comfortable front seats, AND it's significantly cheaper. No contest. I'll take the QX60 in a darker color with the light brown interior, please. Thank you. (Great vid, guys!)

I ordered the QX 60 autograph but with the saddle colored interior. It’s gorgeous. I do love the GV80 as well but I thought the qx60 just suited me better overall. And it’s obviously a little less expensive as well.

[@roboticvenom1935]

QX60 is def the worse vehicle, but hey it's slightly cheaper(given you picked the highest end model, Nissan pathfinder platform).

[@FrozenPantiezzz]

@@roboticvenom1935 uhh not really if you test drive the two you can tell the qx60 is quite nicer. Too many gimmicks in the genesis instead of actual functionality

[@roboticvenom1935]

@@FrozenPantiezzz that's just false the suspense and chassis are inferior and simply not as high end. Watch savageese's review of the GV80 mate. The QX60 is a lower scale car bud and is especially styled much worse

[@josephquinto5812]

@@FrozenPantiezzz What gimmicks exactly?

[@FaAdventuresAndAnimations]

@@FrozenPantiezzz I agree it’s overall a better car and yes the qx60 might be expensive but it’s not only luxurious it also has a lot more cargo, space, and is overall more cleaner looking, and nicer driving. Overall Qx60 better.

[@thomaspalmer6453]

The Genesis seats are supremely comfortable, and I like the ergo function.

[@turkishgod5903]

My family’s owns 2 gv80s prestige’s. Best car we have owned. Coming from Cadillacs, land rovers etc

[@rahimi4762]

Just wait. Google engine catching fire

[@bestpilot98]

The fact that Genesis does not festoon their vehicles with option package/trim level badging, is a win in my book.

[@Novilicious]

The Acura MDX “Type S” is another great contender and is by far my favorite out of the three! Also has more space/air suspension/real massage/a better sound system/and better driving dynamics.

[@drivescene6747]

I would say the MDX Type S is the best in class.

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

And it has the best exterior, interior and wheel design.

[@bradleyscarreviews]

Eh, Genesis is much better than the Acura. I don’t know, the MDX type s is nice, but the genesis gv80 prestige signature with the 4 seat interior is another level

[@rahimi4762]

@@bradleyscarreviews no it ain’t. It’s a cheap tight imitation copy. U can’t beat Acura

[@wolfinr1b509]

Gv80 much better for me. almost a year we go to the GV80, and still turn around to look at it. no technical problems for 15000km, very comfortable and pleasant interior, excellent brakes and handling. The 7 seater version delights my kids.

[@T3rm3nator]

A big advantage for the qx60, is the engine for 2 reasons Reason number 1: its naturally aspirated, so no complications from the turbos, no maintenance and no turbo lag Reason number 2: its an old engine that most mechanics can work with.

[@HishantDheer]

Genesis has the best interior PERIOD

[@rahimi4762]

U mean a better interior? Best ain’t the word

[@LoveLollipopLilJay]

Genesis is a total win. I’ve never had any adaptive cruise controls previously, however, as an owner of the GV80 I hated the cruise control in Winter Toronto roads. The snow will block the front radar and the system will not allow you to use a “normal” cruise control system and kept giving me warnings. Winter driving is already intense, hearing the constant beeping almost got me ditch the car on hwy and walk home. :(

[@briank581]

Don't you get rid of the warning sound from the controller? I'm pretty sure it will.

[@lornestein7248]

Actually one of the funniest, most entertaining posts I've seen from you guys. Really well done! - Oh Ya.. Genesis GV80 smokes that Infinity! If your a patient person.... The all new Mazda CX-90 PHEV that's coming in 2024 or so might blow away both these vehicles for possibly a little less money.

[@slegrand2188]

Genesis GV80 Prestige... What a classy car 🚙 wow 👌
