If we are just comparing the vehicles as they come it seems odd that the Lexus chosen is a hybrid instead of a gas- only model. That gives the Lexus an advantage in power train for significantly better fuel economy. From an interior quality standpoint, they are not in the same class. Genesis is a significant step above the Lexus. The biggest win for Lexus is that Toyota’s (Lexus) manufacturing has a long history of reliability with a strong dealership repair network. Genesis, on the other hand, has struggled to get the kinks out of their supply line and build a strong, positive customer relationship. Genesis makes a more luxurious vehicle, so in that regard they are not in the same class. Lexus is a far more sensible choice to the point that their reliability is what makes this comparison reasonable. That’s my take anyway.
😂😂😂😂 boy you got me there when you said Lexus is entire generation behind genesis in terms of design and build quality, i need to trade my Lexus for genesis
I have a 2023 GV80 3.5t. it's the most reliable car I've ever owned. And it has the best in class warranty. I get more attention with the GV80 than any Lexus gx or rx owner can dream of. The GV80 gives me Soo much public looks that a woman literally stopped me in a roundabout traffic just to tell me she'd never seen a car as beautiful as the GV80 in person before. I doubt a Lexus will get you any compliments or public looks.
Firstly, the interiors should be the same colour for a fair comparison, an all black Lexus looks a bit dull. There is available the same colour as the Genesis. Secondly, Lexus as a brand has the best reliability record ever, something the Genesis cannot prove as its around since 2015. Both great but its a definite win for the Lexus.

Opinion don’t beat facts, the Rx sells more and its reliability is unmatched! And don’t mention anything about the turbos Lexus is putting in their cars, because the first gen Nx had turbo engines and it proven to be reliable!
The RX outsells a rolls Royce and a Bentley bentayga and a Porsche Cayenne so it must be better than them. But it’s not. Reliability is not why anyone buys a luxury car.
I don't think anyone is worried about "realibiltity" when buying something that has 5yr full coverage warranty. you also forgot one "fact" Lexus are ugly as hell and look like mom vans. Lexus finally smartened up and changed that God awful last design. idk how it was the best selling, thing was ugly as hell. my 2021 x5 competition makes it look like straight dog $hit. Congrats you got an upgraded rav 4 lol.
Very impressive video! Reside in Japan, I’ve been owned RX 450H & replacing to 350H in a month. I have no chance to see any Korean car here due to distribution, some impressive point is that this G80 still maintains V6 engine whilst RX already switched to inline4 plus much electrified system, I’m getting slightly curious how my new 350H give me a better driving experience.
I would rather take the Lexus, a better product from a trusted and reliable brand that's been around since 1989 over Genesis that started in 2015. Had Hyundai's before, did not last long, plus they are the most preferred vehicles to be stolen in the US.
I didn't know Lexus had such a big following for the suv lol. Why all the fanboys in the comment section. To me Lexus Rx has always been ugly until the new body style. That old one is just atrocious
I'd say the Lexus is better cause A its the luxury branch of Toyota and they have a significantly longer track record of selling cars in the US than Hyundai do and originally the Genesis was meant to slot above the Azera as Hyundai's top of the line car before it was spun off into its luxury division unlike Lexus which was always Toyota's Luxury division and at first were mainly aimed at the American Market for comparison sake take a Lexus ES 250 had a starting Sticker price of 22,000 in 1990 while a Cadillac Seville Touring Sedan started at 37,000 in the same model year which was even higher than a base level Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe at that time which stickered for $30,000 though depending if you got Coupe/convertible with what options etc. the price could easily go past 80,000

I am not sure that your logic tracks. If the value of Lexus is that it has a long, storied tradition because it basically uses Toyota engineering, that makes sense. If the claim is that Lexus has a longer track record in the US than Hyundai, then the thinking is not correct. The positioning of the Genesis is to hit a slot between Lexus and the German brands. They are fitting into that slot fairly well.
Japan stopped innovating and it definitely shows. Genesis interior puts Lexus into shame. Japan is riding on past glory. Lexus still looks like from Japan's heydays - 1980s and 1990s. Japanese cars are Zen lunch - giving so little for the money. Little wonder Yen is plumetting.
We drove a X5, GLE, Cayenne. Best was the x5 m-sport, lexus 500h second (we got a good deal on it) GLE was eh. Porsche was boring below 100k. Gv80 was horrible in built quality and the price shows it. Gv80 has cool tech and toys, but the Lexus for the price the Lexus is top of its class. If we didn’t get 6k off and had the price drop below 70k, we would’ve spent the extra money on the x5 only. Also my wife loved the way the Rx rode. Sorry but Koreans aren’t on German/Lexus level
Easy. Ones a real luxury car with proper luxury car underpinnings, a luxurious interior, next level design, materials tech luxury etc. that's the genesis The other one though... not even the slightest bit. Because it's just a gussied up Toyota Camry on stilts wearing ugly lipstick and it boasts pathetic looks, pathetic interior, pathetic tech, pathetic drivetrains, pathetic performance, pathetic handling, pathetic luxury, list goes on. That's the Lexus So ask yourself do you want a luxury car or a gussied up Camry? You decide
stfu what about Genesis aren't they kia/hyundai what happened to the kia boys they were so easy to steal and their build quality is ass and there's multiple recalls about fire so have fun driving ur gv80 around that shit won't even last 5 years bro
I wish the Lexus was more luxurious but the sad truth it is not. It’s just a better Toyota which there is nothing wrong with that. But it doesn’t set itself apart from Lexus other than looks (exterior) I’m hoping that Lexus abandons their whole 100% electric plan by 2030 and instead go with the hybrid by 2030 because those new concepts especially the wagon IS is mmmmuuuaaaahhh perfect.
@@naveenthemachine well rumor has it they are coming to production. One by 2025 and people believe it’s the Lexus iS. also the rumor is since Toyota is rethinking its electric car production that Lexus will follow suit. The market for EV’s has slowed dramatically. Plus since the Chicago Tesla charging station thingy…. These batteries will not last the frigid cold so alamost 40% of the states just found that out and I’m sure it’s going to sway people from purchasing a fully electric car. That and I don’t think the electric grid can handle all the cars to be electric. Anyways off topic I go…. Lexus will release one of those cars along side the new super car they are building.

I would take a chance on the Genesis since it apoeals more to my style.
Genesis all the way!!!
Ben, you are (in my opinion) tireless and one of the hardest working vehicle reviewers on UA-cam!!! I look forward to your videos everyday.

GV80 for sure
I totally agree with lagardena8551& bradley's comments. GV80 is indeed another level with German luxuries, not with Japanese made
I would prefer Lexus, like you mentioned better fuel efficiency. And the reliability factors which saves you money on repairs.
Have a 2018 RX 350L and zero issues with it so far . Would have to go Lexus because of reliability
If you're leasing for 3 years that's a non-issue.

The Genesis is in a different league.
The Lexus looks WAY better in my opinion. Also reliability is the key.
I would personally pick a new MDX, CX70/CX90, or X5 over both but they’re all fantastic products
taking the Lexus without question
I would personally pick a new MDX, X5, or CX70/CX90 both both but they’re all fantastic products for sure
Genesis got Lexus looking ancient
genesis will become ancient in garage pretty fast

No it’s not the best. The RX is the worst in the class
@@naveenthemachineno, the genesis is.

your old hyundai has nothing to do with genesis. different platform different parts different factory immobilizer, etc.
Lexus is top dog no competition
Did you not hear about lexus transmission failing around 5k miles? 😂
Your mad.. I see, your brain fails when you were 1 ??? 😂😂
The Genesis is in a different league.
“Lexus is top dog” Said literally nobody ever 😂
@@naveenthemachine genesis is shit.
Genesis should be compared with mercedes or bmw not Lexus
Obviously Genesis is better overall. Lexus transmission failed earlier than Genesis.
GV80 looks better. But I did some reseach online. Lexus RX has the best reliability. The reliability of GV80 is not very good.
I like the Genesis, you should make a video of all your car startups!!
I didn't know Lexus had such a big following for the suv lol. Why all the fanboys in the comment section. To me Lexus Rx has always been ugly until the new body style. That old one is just atrocious
Both suv looking are awesome and Both are family suv

Ben ? What are you thinking comparing a Lexus to that ?
The Genesis is beautiful. The Lexus isn't "sporty." It's just ugly. Lexus does, however, have the edge on reliability.
Is gv80 actually a car or door mat

getting the gv80 and install all terrain tires on them on smaller 18'' wheel would look good specially with small lift
Massive recall just now gv80 engine fire
Fake news. Gv80 never had fire recalls. Try again
I'm in both Kia and Hyundai Facebook groups not one person mentioned this regarding Genesis.
That's not true
But G80 does
I don’t really see the luxury in the GV80. I would prefer the Lexus
Definitely gv80
The GV80 is far from being pretty, but next to this Lexus it looks like a pageant queen. That's how ugly the Lexus is.
Genesis hands down. The new RX looks horrible. The last generation looked better
We drove a X5, GLE, Cayenne. Best was the x5 m-sport, lexus 500h second (we got a good deal on it) GLE was eh. Porsche was boring below 100k.
