Delete special paint on the Genesis and/or add one step up in options for the VW and your math/victor changes. The Genesis is clearly better. Full stop.
I drove the new Touareg in my country ( Saudi Arabia ) and I’m surprised by how smooth and isolated the car is even comparing to Audi A8 2014 the Touareg is more comfortable and quieter Now both of gv80 and Touareg are nice but it depends on your preference. Do you want more luxurious design or more calm and high quality practical design. These are the categories that I see both cars fits in
Ikr! I love the VW too but i’m thinking about buying Q7 which is even better but the only concern is It’s size i needed little larger SUV Sadly there is no car in the world that can offer this great level of comfort in this price range don’t get me wrong If there’s someone who’ve driven all kind of cars like Lexus, BM, Marc, Lincol, Range Rover, they won’t argue especially in this price range as compared to others. For me all is comfort. If i ask for more comfort than this the options are way unaffordable. So love Audi and VW. And how’s the services going? For you VW cuz it’s been 2 years. Did you had any unexpected problems? Or all good along with common maintenance? I live in Al Baha btw!
Similar to @JohnCain, I think this is a deceptive comparison. If you looked at the more closely spec'd VW Touareg 210, which makes only 6kw more power than the GV80, has a sunroof, leather, etc... you still fall short two extra seats that you get in the GV80, bigger wheels -- and the VW costs the same. However, one thing we do agree on is that the GV80 coming from a challenger brand needs to offer a more compelling price. I'd add though, that Hyundai have never been accused of the sort of fraudulent "DieselGate" activities that VW have been accused of, and found absolutely guilty. For that reason, I don't care how good you think the VW is - I would never give them a dollar of my money.
I bet the 6kW is from cheating emissions like before. VW Fckd diesel over real good on that one. Diesel is a nice filthy word because of that. Right back the good old mindset of clag and lung cancer.
@@catk9685 Yeah we got lucky, got it in late ‘20 before car prices skyrocketed. Managed to get my hands on the Adventure model for 110 with the inno. Good compromise between wants and needs imo. Hopefully another round of adventures come along, always keen to see more around.
Gv80 for mine. Similarly spec'd models bring the pricing much closer than this review suggests and the Genesis is simply better (in nearly every way). Ill look definitely look at it for the next family hauler. I'd also look at the Merc as it's the pinnacle of luxury in this class of vehicle
I am driving the Touareg 4.0 full option and I can say, in your test you had a really easy Touareg, many options more are possible, of course for much more money. I was driving before the MB S500 twin turbo with full option and in comparison the sound system and the seats in the S500 are better, BUT in all other points the Touareg I like much more
What’s your true option about suspension comfort especially when going over road imperfections? how much body movement is there in VW as compared to Maybach
Can you please kindly do an apples to apples comparison between the 210kW 3.0 Diesel Toureg vs the 207kW 3.0 Diesel Toureg.. If you provide a fair comparison for spec to spec... this is what we are after, not something skewed to favor VW
got an old Rag and a newer Audi Q7, funny how the VW is supposed to be the lesser car as it's much better than the Q7 in every way. Anyhow it's done 300k km in it's 19 years mainly towing thro Gibb river rd and Great central rd, probably time for an upgrade. one major fail of the Genesis is the towing capacity 2720kg won't cut the mustard. hope peps realize U compared the pov pack VW... V8 Rag for my money, a freakin awesome car. Drive it like a rally car, rock crawl it or cruise in supreme comfort.
Interesting comparison as these are the 2 top picks I am mulling over for my next car (the last hurrah of ICE before electric cars). I agree with the comments that this is not quite an apples to apples comparison, and using the 210 Elegance for the Touareg would be closer. Another point to note is that despite Genesis’ 5 year free service offer, you have to live near one of their few (but growing number of) service centres. The valet service is only 70km from CBDs, which means I would have to drive it an hour up the road for a Genesis approved service. VW service centres are 10mins from me. FYI I have very little brand snobbery, and don’t care if it is “just a Hyundai”. If it’s a great car, it is just that. Finally, if I had to compare, it would be the Genesis 3.5 bi turbo petrol with luxury package ($130k Aud drive away) vs Touareg V8 4.0 R line ($150k). These represent the best from these two models and is where I would be shopping at. I just wish I knew how the GV80 would handle rough, rutted rural roads where I live given no air suspension.....
What? Genesis have air suspension lol in fact active air suspension. Tho i’m choosing VW or Q7 but tbh Genesis isn’t any less not as good but still quite comfy as BM or Marc
Volkswagen Touareg in equal complections vs GV80 has more honest price. GV 80 is a good car too but it's price swelling too much. And that's why it won't be a bestseller. IMHO Korean marketing has choosen wrong way for it's growing.
Why not do apples to apples comparison with similarly equipped vehicles at similar price? Why use a vehicle with an expensive optional paint job and not include something similar for the other vehicle? I don’t understand the logic behind this review essentially giving the win to a vehicle just because it’s cheaper. You didn’t even factor in the warranty, which is industry leading for the Genesis. Also VW has less than average reliability like all German cars.
Genesis is beyond legit. No worries. Hyundai, the mother company has insane reliability. wins tons of awards. Genesis GV80 comes with a 5 yr/60,000 mi basic, 10 yr/100,000 mi powertrain. 3 year maintenance. that shows a lot of confidence. Touareg only offers 3 yr/36,000 mi basic, 10 yr/100,000 mi powertrain. www.caranddriver.com/genesis/gv80 10/10 review. Volkswagen not even close with a 6/10 by the same website. this video didn't cover half of the fancy features that the GV80 offers. GV80 is more comparable to the 100k -130k SUV's not this puny VW

Genesis
You’re comparing the wrong trim for the Touareg.. the 210 would’ve been more appropriate and fair for the comparison
But the VW won?
Yes the VW won, even without all the premium add ons. Put another $25k into the Touareg and the Genesis wouldn’t be worth comparing.
I can't believe this guy isn't having VW R-Line 210!?
Increasing the price of the Touareg considerably, therefore cancelling out its price advantage. The options I’d want on a Touareg take it up to $140k.

also isn't the luxury pack that you are referring a option to add on as well?
Great review! Very detailed and on point.
Does the Genesis have a rear wheel steering?😅

Where are you where it costs $115,000 for that GV80?? The top of the line model fully spec’d out (Prestige pkg) in America costs just over $72,000.
It’s in Aussie dollars.....

Adding the options I’d want on the Touareg takes the price up to $140k, and that’d be ordering it in white. Not so cheap.

Rubbish! I wouldn’t even count Touareg as a luxury SUV! This isn’t Apples with apples comparison.
VW TOUAREG anyday!
I guess you love cars that break down.
Touareg 👍
surprised the cars didn't end up on bricks driving around Altona.
The Genesis is NO comparison!!😅
Compare the right models please!
I wouldn't sleep at night worrying about the reliability of the Volkswagen. Could well be unfounded but I need my sleep.
