  • The 2021 Genesis G80 3.5T Prestige ($76,000 CAD, $62,250 USD) is on a mission to take down the best of luxury midsize sedans. With a so-called “Low centre of gravity”, a battery in the trunk and a twin-turbo V6 tucked behind the front axle, does the G80 have what it takes to earn the title of Performance Luxury sedan? And how does it stack up to its German rivals? Watch to find out! SUBSCRIBE!!!

      It’s a hard not to love this ride. It’s a car designed for drivers. The curb appeal is such that I can hardly hit a fuel station without people asking about the car. I’m entertained by those who are certain it is a Bentley. If some imagine it is - it might as well be (without the insane initial price tag and the scurrilous maintenance overhead).
      Looks are cool, but the ride is where it’s at (for me) - the G80 3.5TT drives like a dream.

I am hoping that they integrate a sportsback feel to upcoming trims, it just makes sense. Nonetheless, this car has my blessing ✨👌🏾

      Benchmark for what? Genesis does a GREAT job of design, really great. Unfortunately, to paraphrase an iconic popular quote from TOP GUN " their design team writes checks that engineering and production can't cash" in their consumer product. As a 3 time Genesis owner I have experienced build quality go from superb in the previous generation G80 to very poor in my current version. Worse, to quote a Genesis (Hyundai) Engineer who recently tested my car, all the 20 some odd snaps crackles and pops I experience in the cabin of my new G80 Prestige are "normal" because of the large amount of plastic parts used to construct the cabin. This is a clear indication that Genesis (Hyundai's) focus has moved to "form over function" and build quality has therefore suffered immensely. The focus on customer satisfaction of Genesis (Hyundai) National Customer Service is sub par especially considering the fact that their mission statement is to exceed expectations. The trouble there is they don't really mean their customers expectations, they mean their own. This is not a customer oriented company by any stretch.

      My mom just got the four years older version of this ("Snowflake" - a G80 in Snow White of the 2017 vintage). Here's the odd part - the Genesis is made by a company that has ZERO experience in building luxury vehicles - Hyundai Motor Company of the Republic of Korea. We (as a family) are NOT new to luxury vehicles - it had been preceded by - in order - three Lincoln Marks (III/IV/V), two Eldorados, two BMW 7 series (740iL and 750iL) and an Audi A6. So how the heck is it that the G80 makes them all look like pretenders?

    My S550 is 13 years old and I was contemplating a replacement. After reading all the hypes about the Genesis--G80, G90's, I've decided to stop by the Genesis dealership to have a look. The dealership is co-located with the Hyundai's. There were three Genesis's inside the show room. 1 each of the G70, G80, and G90. There were no one inside the showroom. After checking the G80 and while we were inside the G90, a salesman finally appear. He didn't seems to know much about the vehicle but ask if I would Iike to have a test drive. I told him I want to drive one exactly like the V8 in the showroom. He said there's one in the parking lot and he went to get the key and brought the vehicle to the door. Then he told me it's not the V8, but the turbo V-6. While we sat in the car, he went on to take care of something for another lady in a SUV. We sat there and waited close to ten minutes and finally decided to leave. We took the key and went inside the showroom but there were no one to hand the key to. As we exit, we finally saw the same salesman getting his lunch probably from his wife. The point of all this is, no matter how great Hyundai make the Genesis, if they are to compete with BMW, Mercedes and Lexus, their dealership have a long ways to go. I will never buy a Genesis now because of their customer service. People who will spend $80K to buy a car do not want to be treated like he's buying a Hyundai. If I can't even get someone's attention when I want to buy the car, what kind of service would one expect if I encounter problems with the vehicle! BTW, the dealership is Red McComb Genesis located in San Antonio, Texas. The date was May 6, 2021.

      @@lambokiller99 Oh wow, man that’s an old car to be comparing interiors realistically. A rav4 would blow away that interior. The new BMWs have a really chill, clean vibe, much more youthful and professional feeling. The Genesis brand just feels made for people 55+.

    Great Top Gear-level work! One thing you did NOT mention was the *appalling* amount of time and money that goes to BMW and Mercedes garages once their cars get past the warranty period. I already know this has to be a great car. Why? I bought an older Azera 5 years ago, and it has only been in the shop for 1 recall. I've put 50,000 happy miles on it. Ask Tyler Hoover of Hoovie's Garage how much time in the shop and money a 2007 Mercedes or BMW would have cost over the last 5 years. The bloom has been of the rose of high end German motoring since the late 90's. My beast has 165K on it, and I smile every time I fire it up, cruise, hit the gas or listen to the Infinity sound system. As good as mine have been, I expect these newer ones are terrific---and reliable...
