2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe: The second best car Genesis makes!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- The secret no one tells you: The people that bought sedans, now buy something called an SUV coupe. Yep, makes no sense but that is why @BMW sorta invented the genre with the @BMWUSA X6 and now everyone, including @GenesisWorldwide is getting in on the game. However, with the all new for 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe, Genesis is making a lot of small changes to the Coupe SUV formula and from behind the wheel in Minnesota, MotoMan learns they all have an unintended impact.

Just got mine on Saturday. Traded in my 2018 Jaguar XF Sportbrake. The GV80 Coupe is turning heads as much as the wagon did. Had a long intro session with my salesperson, but still have a lot to learn about the car. Watch the rear decklid in the garage. It raises VERY high.
The review that I was waiting for!
Good looking car. Great video. The actual vehicle commentary is straight-forward with interesting exposition where appropriate and the overall video production is consistently well above par. Guess I'm saying, great job as usual.
Aside from more color options I would like to see some more wheel options, maybe a bit more aggressiveness added to the hood to help the front end look event more sporty. Overall, this is beautiful and Genesis did a wonderful job
7:02 hold up I didn’t realize this was a supercharger like…a supercharger! I thought it was marketing for a mild hybrid setup. Thats kinda cool honestly.
Yep . . . the real deal . . . I, too, was excited. MUCH better application here than in the G90.
Thanks for the great review, been waiting for this to hit NA
it will be slow on arrival and will be hard to find.
@thomaswattle9828 I have the first order where I live, but I did opt for the Matte gray. Hopefully it will arrive by the end of the month or September.
This is the most beautiful coupé in the market
yes, it is . as they say "a real head turner"
@@dioralcide8490 😀
Best automobile review I've ever watched...well done sir!
best value for the money. Great curb appeal, a real head turner
One of the few times that it feels like a vehicle is actually worth the money in today's market.
I love the style and overall finishes. I am definitely getting the Bering Blue exterior with Smoky Green and Vanilla Beige Interior. A nice tint on the windows and it's set the be perfect!
i cant wait for the magma performance trim to be released! its going to be a beast. idc what people say but this is my dream car 🔥
Value proposition for X6/GV80 style? Drove a Lexus SC400 for 25+yrs. Toward the end, surrounded by SUV's, I felt I was driving in a bathrub. Couldn't see a thing. A sedan was no solution. Add age & lowered flexibility for many who are in the market ... where a bit taller improces access? Cool! Then add style vs practicality. Floor size? Identical. # of times hauling 4' tall groceries or golf bags? Zero. Moving furniture? Daily rental! Get 90% of the "chocolate bar" and it's a good day!
The most comfortable luxury car
finally a good logic on a turbo+supercharged engine. turbos used in low rpms, where they can make things fuel efficient, and the SC at the top for power and responsiveness.
I’m lukewarm on “coupe” SUVs, but BMW and MB could learn a lot from Porsche Cayenne GT and this GV80 coupe, from a design perspective.
As someone who lives in a region with lots of rain and snow, I still don't know how to reconcile the fact that there's no rear wiper.
It’s tucked under the rear deck
@@LexxLuther100 No, there is no rear wiper on the coupe. I just took one out for a drive today.
It gives you the digital rearview mirror. You can just rely on that until it breaks
Why do u drive backwards... If u can't use the digital mirror don't complain
Nerver missed a rear wipe on the older G90 I have. Car takes care of it well.
Genesis is killing it!
makin' the German car enthusiasts nervous. I used to be one.
ive been looking for a crossover/SUV "coupe" to daily. didnt want German. i think i may have found it. THANKS!
I believe people would still buy sadans and coupes if the roads in a lot of states weren't so bad. I'm in New Jersey, and there's potholes everywhere, not to mention over exaggerated speed bumps.
From what I see, it’s the entire country. My friends from Europe can’t believe the poor conditions of our roads.
I remember being amazed a couple of years ago when looking at the GLE Coupe weighing in at about 5200 lbs. Now this Genesis is about the same weight. Why are these mid size SUV Coupe’s so darn heavy?
Cost weight for all the tech and comfort
Start with a heavy mid-sized SUV and trim the roof and...voila, a heavy fake coupe with less room.
The steering wheel alone is much better than the wheel in the regular SUV.
Who to write a letter in Genesis to make a dark version of digital cluster !!!!!!???
In the setting menu you can change the display to a dark mode. Even in dark mode it’s still very visible in bright daylight.
"Best execution of one of these coupe things." is certainly praise. The question is if it's high praise or a backhanded compliment....or both. 🤣
From someone who grew up on the Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.2L Turbo as a kid, I would take my adult money and FOMO finance the shit outta this thing after what I just heard about that supercharger plus for that price? Done thanks man 🤜🤛
Nice looking car. But... Could we get car companies to somehow quit putting super hi-gloss & polished aluminum/chrome, or faux of those bits all over reflective surfaces inside the cars? The instrument/ux screen looks ridiculous (at least on camera).
I'm at the point that bang-for-buck I'm going to go back to cars. Wife has a decent SUV so the household has the 'ute base' covered so to speak. Can get nicer (IMO) Audi S/RS &/or BMW M cars for the price of this (or cheaper). To each his/her own & all that.
I am not a fan of a vehicle which is called a coupe but has four doors which is not a coupe which is a two door. However having said that, I think this is a really attractive 'coupe' much better than other manufacturers have produced. I would still go for the SUV version.
Nice video. Very helpful. This car seems to attract a lot of negativity. I don’t know why. Do you think the supercharger is really worth it?
Genesis is King of Asian luxury!
Genesis sells at higher average transaction price than Lexus, Acura, Infiniti.
Nice!
Don’t usually like these but the gv80 has a droopy rear end to my eye and this seems to improve upon that. Of course like all of the other SUV “coupes” you pay more for less utility…..
The supercharger makes it as fast as the X5 x40i. I have heard other than the straight line speed it does not handle that well but maybe that is not a bad thing. Meaning, the ride is more comfortable but has more body roll. I just do not want to pay as much for this as a German car (or almost as much).
the GV80 coupe is super nice! I hope they have great incentives and deals! these will be amazing CPO vehicles to be honest! at MSRP not worth it
True. Buying a certified used Genesis is the best way to go. I got a top trim G70 with 10K miles for $15K less than new. 👍
Hyundai Kia are killing it
Thank the Germans that came from BMW and Audi to Hyundai/Kia…they turned them around
The better comparison in price would be the Audi Q8. I still think Genesis is about $10K high in there price. I cannot wait to compare the ride and interior to my Q8.
@13:50 it looks like Topanga
the canyon
Nice car but that screen guage cluster is ugly imo
So a battery performance enhanced ICE was something I had not known it had before. Weights in over my BEV. 🧐 15:12
How about figuring in the Mazda cx 70/80 or even cx 90
Need toots change yourUA-cam name. There had been a Motoman onUA-cam for years. He’s a master motorcycle instructor teaching classes on line and also for advanced police dept riding. Other than that, I enjoyed your commentary
I'm not opposed to the coupe SUV but would prefer a wagon... I can't want to see if Audi brings the S5 Wagon or BMW 5 Touring instead of M5 version
Genesis lost me when they killed the g80 prestige trim in 2021 going from luxury to sport styling and the 2023 gv70 ditching interior colors and steering wheel.
No fancy wood trim, no green and maroon interior 😢
I'm still confused on why four door SUVs and sedans are called coupes these days. I have a stock 2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8. It's an actual two sports coupe car.
Not a coupe. Literally a 5 door crossover
They moving towards being the VAR.
Glances. wait 2 years, pick this up used for 50k
"Ahh, so this is the used car id buy in 10 years"
Or less.😊
In five years, actually, unless you get lucky and find one in not-so-good condition in two years that’s selling for around 50k USD.
Wait 5 years and you can buy it for 20k
@ParissaKhoury Actually, wait five years and it will cost nearly half of what you bought it for, ~40k USD. It is not a German car; it depreciates as slowly as a Lexus. Go search it up yourself.
Looks good, but there are issues: it's too expensive and, for some, the ick-factor of buying/servicing it at your local Hyundai dealership. Also, that engine is inefficient. I'd rather have the X5's B58 at this price point.
Never underestimate the "ick-factor". 🙊
Nice dubs! Could've used orange brake calipers to match the orange accents though.
IMHO the Q8 is the best looking coupe truck, but Audi insists on beating the poor thing with the ugly stick.
My older G90 better watch out.
I think I need another primer on horsepower and torque. My 1992 (v1) Lexus SC400 had neither turbo(s) nor supercharger. Quoted at 200HP (v2 tuning was 250hp/260 torque), mine did 0-60 in under 7 sec all day long. This GV80 is a tick under 6sec, from reviews I've seen (with 400+ on both hp & torque), How can that be?
*For ref 2024 BMW m40 base is 380-ish, likely understated, but still 5-ish sec!
Seems GV80 should be a lot quicker! No?
(Leaving room for Magma variant?)
It is a complex subject. Let's just say the Genesis has a weight problem and leave it there. Not an EV magnitude problem but coupe SUVs tend to have poundage.
Will a coupe version of the GV70 be coming out?
That'd be🔥
@@doudymac excellent
79k starting? 85k for that? Nah.
U good sir!
YEAH I WOULD! Black with grey piping looks great. I have one. Don’t be so narrow minded 😮
It’s a beautiful car - but putting a license plate on that grill, like I’d have to do in NY, would be a tragedy.
move
Looks like another thirsty offering from the Genesis/ Hyundai/Kia manufacturers... And yeah I have driven and rented the GV80 the G80E and own a Hyundai... And honestly I have found lots of carry over between Genesis and Hyundai like parts of course but Genesis is more refined as a total package of course as it should be. ICE platform gas mileage is well lackluster IMO..
Great review! Sadly, my 4 requests for you to review the 2025 X5 M60i with the Adaptive M Sport Suspension Professional never came true. I wanted to get your opinion compared to the X5MC.
Would love to help ya but that car is not in the fleet in LA.
I think the biggest question is, how often is someone that is tall enough to be of concern actually riding in your backseat…? I mean, I don’t really know anyone who packs their car full of people over 6 foot basically ever maybe one to two times, every one to two years? I guess unless you have a family full of teenage boys or all over 6 foot…
Affordable luxury?!
$87,000 … ? At that altitude, I’d rather be flying a Porsche Macan. I’ve seen Genesis cars up close at dealers and auto shows. They are at first glance, very attractive, automobiles, even exciting you might say. But up close, under the fingertips and at closer inspection, you can see and feel the cost-cutting. I just don’t think the value is there.
lol. mine is holding up after 50k miles . Cost cutting hasn't shown up yet.
@@thomaswattle9828 I drive a G70 Sport Prestige and you're 100% correct. Quality is top notch.
Performance and efficiency are Genesis' biggest problems. Value is sliding down the scale, as an attribute, as the prices climb up into true luxury territory. Sorry, no anecdotal vouching to offer. Genesis is still a rising star, imo.
You’d think it’d be faster off the line
Outrageous prices... Toyota less expensive.. will run forever!!! Yes
roflmao, Toyota ... lol
Near Menomonie? Otherwise known as me no money? Ease over the border and enjoy Stillwater MN. Love the shoes BTW
I believe that location was just outside of River Falls and Trimbelle, Wisconsin . . . was trying to get away from the pouring rain in Minneapolis and St Paul . . .
Ok, when did the coupe go from being a 2 door to a 4 door 🤷🏾♂️
How about a decade ago with the X6. Not saying that I agree with it!
This is not a coupe……..
I like it but the engine is underpowered. Fords smaller 3.0 liter TT V6 makes 400 hp and more torque, without the electric supercharger, than this 3.5 TT V6 with the electric supercharger.
buy this used. it will be worth $25k
I know I can’t wait 🤗🤗🤗
after eight years
Bad take
Yeah !. You go ahead and wait. 👍
After 8 years it won’t be worth the hassle of replacing the engine, trans or electronics… that is if you can find a non Hyundai shop that can do a quality rebuild because you don’t want to go to Hyundai no matter what
It has a turbo and a supercharger is not a bit redundant
Nope. They serve different purposes. One provides low end boost while the turbos spool up. Not the first mousetrap like it but this one add that 48V system to prespool the supercharger in order to make extra power from very low in the power band.
The guage cluster us the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Rectangular seriously? No style whatsoever.
not a cluster gauge , it's a tv/tablet , and all tv's are rectangular!
@damaylaphoenix1155 It doesn't look "designed" [read "built in"]
Beautiful SUV, but it's thirsty on gas.
if you can afford it, you can afford the gas. As much as said about owning BMW Mercedes & Audi . " If you can afford them you can afford the maintenance and up keep."
I agree, the days of taking "pride" in a guzzler are long gone, at least in my circle. The supercharger actually increased efficiency and power. That gives you an idea how far they still could go to improve ICE mpg. I think they are just going EV and won't bother.
The sound effects are terrible. Loose them. The review is great.
Appreciate the honest feedback. Would like to ask: What specifically are you referring to? The #OptionsGame sound effects or the music?
I'm confused ?#%*!
Saw this in person and am not impressed! And that interior is a step backwards compared to the prior one...
where did you see this model in person ?
@@thomaswattle9828 Genesis House, NY
Martinez Robert Smith Kevin Clark Sandra
Love the look. More HP please. Needs 500 to truly compete. If they do that and stay under 100k, look out.
i dont understand what youre on about half the time.. and english is my primary language. please speak plainly
American English??
Another disposable lease vehicle that will be 45% less in 3 years. Kinda tells you everything about the value proposition.
So my 21 gv80 prestiege cost me 72 k ,2.8 years latter @35 k miles sells for 52.5 …its why I don’t lease.
@@AJ-yf4ksDude stop it... there are no GV80 21 anywhere for more than 40k🤦, it's a very bad investment. You lose more like 55/60 of the value over 3yrs
@@justinking8220 your wrong … check arriving in 2 or 3 days. Way over 40 k …you and all the other Y T experts …🤣
@@justinking8220the pristine model which is the top trim is still selling for around 50k. Which is pretty great for a luxury car that cost 72k in 2021. All luxury cars lose value.
@@bassandtrebleclef doing the math …total payments plus down payments …. 45 k and change. + 5 K in aftermarket stuff plus tires , so I ‘MADE” nothing …. And im down almost 2 k. Don’t overthink it ,even a clocks rights twice a day . …Now let’s see where the Coupe takes me.
Looks like an $90, 000 Chrysler Crossfire.
Stylish American iron!
with more features
yeah right! crossfire wish it looked like that!
Your less than $10k to a gle or a cayenne coupe .Both superior to this car. Too much no value here
@@jaysongauthier5152 this is a top trim version of said car with basically all the luxuries you’d want for the *base* versions of either of those you mentioned, which will lack various features, personalizations, or equipment
$94-95$ amg gle 53 or Porsche cayenne coupe platinum much better vehicles
This GV80 is $17,000 too much loaded. Most who will lease a $87K vehicle would rather be seen in a Benz or BMW for the same monthly payment.
not me. Tried BMW's for three decades #movinon
That's as ugly as hell! I wonder if Hyundai ever fixed their engine fire problem? Over 300 2.0 turbo and non-turbo engines caught fire. There's a reason it's cheap, because it's crap!
roflmao, do have any other hobbies ?
Idk Genesis just doesn’t make as nice crossovers as the Germans or Lexus. This doesn’t impress me all that much.
Pretty weird looking design. Failed.
