Inside is alright, but engines and transmission are much less impressive as is the usual with Korean cars. I also detest those hideous wheels that look like a hockey puck. To put things into perspective, a G80 2.5T is about as fast as a 520d, while the 3.5T is about as quick as a 530i (2.0T petrol). I don’t know what Hyundai/Kia does to their vehicles but they all are so much slower than you’d expect based on power figures. The old Hyundai Sonata 2.0T had as much power as a Honda Accord 2.0T, but it was nearly 3 seconds slower to 60MPH.
@@blake301987 the 2.5T sounds like a vacuum cleaner, and the 3.5T puts up slower acceleration times than a comparable 2.9-3.0L I/V6 engine from BMW, Audi, Mercedes, or even Cadillac. The G80 is a luxury sedan, in the same vane as an E-Class, A6, 5-Series, etc. Hyundai’s engines are always disappointing. They claim huge power outputs but the numbers the car put down and in the way they feel, never matches the power figures advertised. Whereas the Germans are extremely conservative with power output figures, the Koreans seem to be very liberal. Take the G70 2.0T for example. It’s nearly 20% slower accelerating than a comparable 330i, A4, or Giulia. Also, Hyundai’s in-house transmission isn’t nearly as quick shifting or precise as the ZF 8HP, Mercedes’ 9G-Tronic, or VW Group’s S-Tronic/DSG/PDK gearboxes. If they’re going to compete against European cars they need to match or beat them in every category. I don’t understand the logic behind giving them a break for weaker performance even if it’s a luxury car. Luxury car doesn’t mean slow or underpowered. The 2.5T G80 is a dog, and the 3.5T isn’t that much better. A 540i, E450, A6 3.0T or the slightly more performance focused models like the E53 or S6 will leave the G80 in the dust. A 255HP 530i with a 2.0T I4 will outrun a G80 3.5T with a claimed 375HP. Something is wrong somewhere.
@@CFG39 Apples to apples a 530i (123 kw/t) Vs G80 2.5t (119Kw/t) both have claimed 0-100 within a tenth of each other (we could argue for days about real 0-100, but there are too many variables, I'd wait till a video from their normal test location is posted before judging). The 2.5t sounds like a inline 4 turbo engine with a quite exhaust system, its a luxury car, sure, they could put a loud exhaust on it, but why? People buying these cars don't want loud exhausts. Sure, the 3.5t isn't the most powerful engine per litre, still not bad though. Yes, a BMW 540i with a B58 has the same claimed 0-100 as the G80 3.5T but the 540i is also 500kg lighter. I've driven the Stinger with the in house 8 speed and I would agree, in that application of GT style car, it can be a bit slow to shift, especially in comfort mode. But In the G80 case, the shifts are very comfortable, a far more important feature than super quick shifts in a luxury car. I have a M135i with a ZF8HP, It is in my opinion the best planetary automatic gearbox on the market at the moment from a performance perspective, since I drive a hot hatch, I am willing to forgive aggressive shifts in return for fast shifts. A person who just spent $100k on a luxury sedan wont be that forgiving (yes the ZF can be tuned to be smooth as well, but then you get slow shifts anyway). Neither of these cars are underpowered or slow as you put it, it wasn't that long ago that ///M and AMG cars were getting these 0-100 times (3.5T). The people who buy these cars are also not racing people at traffic lights. They want quiet and premium experience with plenty adequate power if desired. Not my thing at all, I prefer small and light cars that are fun, but each to their own.
@@blake301987 the problem is you never can hit the claimed figures in a Hyundai product. As I said before... they’re extremely liberal with their performance specs. The Germans consistently underrate their products. Also, engine sound has nothing to do with loudness. I’m simply saying the Hyundai engine sounds like a economy grade 4-cylinder engine. Something you’d find in a Toyota, HYUNDAI, or maybe even a GM product. The V6 should have both a more exciting exhaust and also sound louder. BMW and Mercedes vehicles don’t have loud exhausts, especially on their entry level models, but you do get a little zesty sound at startup or when you’re driving them hard. They frequently include valves in their exhaust systems to increase or decrease noise by driving mode selected or throttle position. Genesis is far more akin to Lexus in terms of driving dynamism than any European competition. I don’t understand anyone that wants a “luxury” car that is slow and sounds like an economy car. A Honda Accord 2.0T will outrun a Genesis G80 2.5T for half the cost. The Genesis G70 2.0T singlehandedly was called out by nearly every automotive journalist for being woefully unimpressive, whereas nearly all of the same people compliment the exact same size engine with the exact same performance claims in BMW, Audi, Alfa Romeo, and even Mercedes in their 330i, A4, Giulia and C300 models. The first reviews of the GV80 are in and again, people have called out the 2.5T model for feeling underpowered and suffering from a substantial amount of lag. The German competition’s engines that are 25% smaller displacement outperform the Korean vehicles. Watch any video of a GV80 or G80, Stinger, G70, etc. accelerating and watch any video of a comparable BMW, Mercedes, Audi or Alfa and you’ll see the Hyundai-Kia product will always be slowest. Having an engine that feels powerful enough is important, even when you’re not going 10/10ths. It’s more befitting of a luxury car to be able to pull itself along at low revs because an abundance of torque and low end power than to require downshifts or a significant delay for the turbo to start producing enough boost to move the car along. In my opinion, the 3.5T is just adequate for these vehicles. The 2.5T should be called the 2.Slow. Also, you seem very inexperienced with cars equipped with ZF’s 8HP transmission. The ZF 8HP is such a highly regarded transmission it finds use in everything from entry level BMW 2-series Coupes to Rolls-Royce Phantoms. FCA uses it in vehicles ranging from Maseratis, Alfa Giulia and Stelvio, Dodge Charger and Challenger (from base V6 with 305HP all the way to Hellcat Supercharged V8 with over 700HP), Ram 1500 pickup truck, and Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee and upcoming Wagoneer. IMO, Hyundai should’ve licensed the ZF transmission since it has far superior shift logic, ability to jump 6 ratios at once (8-2 gear change), it shifts much faster, and can be programmed to offer a “comfort” setting with second gear start and imperceptible shifts or you can put the car in Sport/Dynamic mode and the transmission transforms into a dual clutch rivaling transmission that delivers shifts much faster than one thought a convention torque converter automatic could even do. Audis and BMWs equipped with the 8HP shift extremely rapidly while retaining smooth shifts. In fact they often shift so quickly and imperceptibly that you don’t even know they’ve shifted unless you’re keeping your eye on the tach or are under full throttle. Mercedes’ in-house 9G-Tronic is about 95% as good as the 8HP.
@@jasonpark4293 did you even watch the video? The as-tested figures were 5.7 to 5.968 seconds for the 3.5T depending on brake torquing or not. A 530i will run 0-100km/h in nearly the exact same time, even though the G80’s 3.5T engine is 75% larger, has 50% more cylinders, has a claimed power advantage of 50% and two turbos vs. one. Not exactly what I call impressive. A comparable 540i, E450, or Audi A6 3.0T will all do sub-5 second 0-60MPH/0-100kmh runs even though all supposedly have less power and are down on displacement by 25% and are single turbo vs. twin turbo.
Ignorant ass comment! This is not a Hyundai. This is a Genesis made by Hyundai, just like Lexus is made my Toyota. There’s Lexus’ that cost just as much as this and it’s made by Toyota! Same difference!
Exciting stuff starts at 2:20
The v6 version is definitely a beast
Stunning car, both inside and out.
What i like the most is: This car goes fast even after 100 with the same power and not changing the engine sound.
That 2.5t has some real downshift delay, especially for sport mode.
And no transmission farts like audis
Brilliant Car !. But needs a better automatic gearbox immediately 👍
Thank you for this nice video 👍🏼 go on
Great video!. I would love to see the acceleration from the outside like before, love your vids though!👍
Yes, a regular video is coming soon. This video was taken during the official media launch event - we had limited time. Thanks :)
Nice video thanks
How much ??
Good car but that transmission is so slow to kickdown @4:25. Almost 2 seconds to change down after smashing the accelerator pedal
Can you guys do the Giulia Veloce ? 🙌🏽
The poor man's Bentley or the poor man's Genesis? 🤔
Looking forward to the GV70 in the 3.5T. might have an interesting SUV for sale finally!
SUV’s lol
The 3.5 T is has bit classic Rolls Royce digital dials

What is unimpressive about the engines? Acceleration times seem good considering the weight of the cars. These are luxury cars, not sports cars.
