Same here. But honestly....there isn’t much about ANY of the new cars of the last five years that I like. I’m still driving a 2010 Lexus and 2006 Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI. As far as I can tell, the prices of their new models are insulting and the quality of the vehicles has gone backward by about a decade and a half but...nobody seems to care. It’s almost impossible not to notice the cheapness, the shortcuts, the PLASTIC EVERYWHERE that has come to represent the so-called “luxury” car of the 21st Century. They most certainly don’t make them to last forever anymore.
I sat in the G80 at the Chicago Auto show earlier this year. Trust me, this car is incredible. I want to see these on the road. If you told me 15 years ago Hyundai and Kia would make high quality good cars and they would have their own luxury brand that rivals BMW and Mercedes in quality I would get you a therapist.
totally agree. It looks great on video and I'm sure it's lovely in person. Only curious about how well it will hold up over time as far as resale value and reliability is concerned.
@@mpkp2011 The resale value shouldn't be an issue seeing as similar cars cost way more and thus lose way more value each year. They've been selling Genesis sedans since 2009 and they've been holding up great while being great values as used cars.
25 years ago sure. But Considering the progress korean car manufacturers made since the 90s combined i think pretty much everyone expected it. Shout out to my boys at daewoo
As always, enjoyed your review, but you missed a couple of things on this one. First, the parking buttons on the remote don't just move the car fore and aft...this thing can completely park itself, either parallel, or straight in...watch their launch video for a demo. Second, the blank area in the middle of the console scroll knob is a handwriting recognition pad...you can write out an address for the nav to search for, for example. Finally, you didn't mention the rear seat side sunshades. Although they are manual in the G80, and powered in the GV80, they are still there, and are pretty cool. As far as the "too many sedans" argument, which you must have mentioned 10 times, tell that to Audi, Mercedes, and BMW. They also have overlapping powertrains, and Genesis has done a comparable job of horsepower/displacement relative to the size of each model as the Germans. There are still plenty of people in the world who buy sedans, and there are still many sold in the US, even though many have been replaced by SUVs.
As a previous owner of a 2015 Hyundai Genesis and a 2018 Genesis G80, I'm dying to get my hands on this when my lease is up in a few months. That color is amazing. Doug, that "blank" white circle in the center dial can also be used to "handwrite" letters when searching for things in the navigation menu, as many luxury cars do these days. At least, that feature was available in the Korean model. Speaking of the Korean model, it featured reclining and ventilated rear seats, which thus far Genesis refuses to bring to the North American market, outside of the G90.
2000: a lot of auto makers stick their side turn signals on the fender. Mercedes has mounted them in the mirror this is really cool. 2020: a lot of auto makers stick their turn signals in the mirror. Genesis has mounted them on the fender, this is really cool
I mean, back then it was silly little bulbs that looked like pimples on the fenders. This dual LED strip integration actually looks good and not like some pustular growth lol
Also, from now on when I ride my bike, instead of sticking my arm out to signal, I'll just slap the butt cheek on the appropriate side, and tell people it was because Doug said it was cool.
Why do we have so many sedans? Mercedes: A, CLA, C, E, CLS, S, GT 4-door BMW: 2, 2 gran, 3, 4 gran, 5, 7, 8 gran Genesis: Small, Medium, Large Doug, really?
I also thought his comment on the sedans was silly... but I completely understand why he made it. Genesis needs to roll out it's SUVs and fast if it plans to be profitable for Hyundai/Kia. The Europeans have at least one SUV for every sedan at this point.
I think he means at the moment based on their lifespan so far, an early SUV/Crossover would've gotten them wayy more money to then fund sedans later on.
Audi: A3 A4 A5 sport back A6 A7 A8 Bla-bla-bla, most German brands sell those but honestly Doug is right, because all of these sedans are selling really slowly compared to the SUV stuff and crossovers. But I think Genesis started with sedans to try and install more of a luxury esthetic on their brand instead of starting directly with Karen mobiles.
Genesis marketing person start watching this video: Finally Doug is referring to our product as from a "startup luxury brand" rather than "Hyundai's luxury car brand" *phew* Genesis marketing person after finishing watching the intro: Damn he still mentioned Hyundai *sob*
Bruh. I'm sorry for the replies on your comment, you have a great point. Edit: i reported the sex scam channels, if you don't see them, that's what happened
I will never buy another Kia. Period. We contacted the Kia Corporate office to help with an issue we had after our car broke down on the side of the interstate 2 times after being serviced at 2 different Kia dealerships, Langdale Kia in Valdosta and Crown Kia in Saint Petersburg. Kia Corporate gave us the run around, telling us they would send our service request upper management to have it approved. After 3 weeks, they finally told us that no our car wasn’t under warranty! What?! It’s like they didn’t even read what we submitted. Kia doesn’t know how to fix their own vehicles and doesn’t care if they break down multiple times. This has been a horrible
To be honest I'm glad Genesis is selling the 3 sedans here in the US. I myself am looking for an upgrade from a hatchback to a sedan of some sort and Genesis has provided me that option. The redesigned G70 and G80 are definitely on my list when they go on sale.
@@PBrown-mg4wy I suppose it all depends on how you define "upgrade." While this car has tons of tech and is very comfortable, isolated and automated, those characteristics are a huge *downgrade* to those that prefer a more lively, involved, dynamic driving experience.

Genesis isn't making the cars the market asks for (SUVs fitted with oversized engines), they're making those the market should ask for (reasonably powered sedans), and I love it.
That G80 is what I believe the Japanese competitors’ mid-level models should’ve eventually evolved into by now. The power, detailed aesthetics, & value in Genesis products lets me know they’re serious about what they’re bringing to market to grab their share and shake things up; I absolutely love it.
@@zandaughtry7936 Genesis is rated among the highest in reliability, and one some lists is higher even over Lexus. Perhaps Japanese brands should design cars people actually like to look at instead of saying “b-b-but reliability!!”
@@zandaughtry7936 Unfortunately Lexus has no competitive offering. It's like saying you'll take a Civic over an S class because there are less things to break. Sure, that's true, but you'll also live with a worse car, and things will still break.

@@joskjj3625 I think it will be a few years before the public opinion actually changes and groups them with Japanese cars in terms of general quality but I do think it will happen soon
18:00 the stacked lights and turn signals work with the shape to give the car a certain Art Deco look that Doug was not picking up on. I think it's very cool and modern-retro. (In its time Deco AKA Art Moderne was a bit futuristic.)
Doug has to consider they make cars for more than just the American market. In Korea they sell a lot more sedans, so they need these models. I see at least a couple of each of the sedans daily. I can go a few days without seeing a GV80 however
Apparently everyone; In the US; SUVs made up 47.4% of sales in 2019 while sedans made up 22.1% (NY Times, May 2020). I like sedans better too but to answer your question; car companies can charge more for basically the same thing, albeit higher suspension, more storage, AWD becoming quite standard. BMW for example, the 3 series sedan starts at $41k, while the X3 starts around 43k.
Doug: “it’s sad that Genesis uses the same engines in all its vehicles. You can get the same engine in all three cars.” Mercedes, Audi, BMW: “Hold my 2.0t, 3.0t, 4.0t beers”
It really has come a long long way I had a excel back in 88 I now have a Sonata SEL PLUS and I absolutely love it and I have had nothing but compliments on it .
If someone had told me years ago I would be a Hyundai owner, I would have laughed. Now we own two different Hyundai models that have long since proven themselves as reliable and dependable vehicles.
@@yes8032 I think the main problem with Cadillac is that most of their models are unexceptional and they don't have any 'true' flagship car currently? Ford put in some real investment to revive the Lincoln brand after it was in the dumpster for a decade. GM didn't.
@@yes8032 the ct4 and the ct5 are simply not competitive and have their fair share of faults. The ct6 was underwhelming in the segment it was competing in. The moment the ct6 started gaining interest with the blackwing V8 they killed it off.
Purchased my Sorento 1 1-2 ago and have already had to replace Engine, brakes and rotors twice and now part of the transmission is bad. Kia doesn’t seem to care or want to help me. Think twice before you purchase a Kia vehicle. They will break and break on you and you will be too far upside down to unload it.
@@AlanHernandez-jn2mp if they make it that will be great for everyone because ze germans will have to step up their quality, i truly believe Kia/Hyundai has come past the Germans on every term apart from performance cars.
8:16 The smaller portion of the circle acts as a touch pad to recognize letters when written over it with your finger (to enter in addresses) and I believe there are some gesture commands as well to act as shortcuts
I suspect I understand the strategy of Genesis: they are going for a bigger slice of a smaller pie by being a better offer. Sure, SUVs are the rave. but everyone is getting in on the action in the segment and there are some compelling choices in every SUV category you can name. But with less emphasis on sedans by so many previous players, there's more of a chance to shine if you put in the effort, which Genesis has done.
honestly i doubt it... at least not at this trim level. at this trim level, aside from the most driven examples, you're still talking about (at least) 30k
I got this one, it's beautiful. The 3D gauge cluster however is a little bit too gimmicky, I turn it off since it's not HD, you can really start to see the pixels, but using it as a normal gauge cluster with no 3D, it's amazing quality. It drives very smooth, and honestly it's actually a really nice place to be. Coming from a 5 series, I'd definitely recommend this car! At least the prestige model.
*As a Korean-American... It makes me so proud to see Genesis and other Korean Automakers finally becoming relevant.... It feels just like a couple of years ago when the Korean auto makers were seriously slacking! Lets get it Genesis 🔥😍*
@@ch6inre6ction11 In fairness, I think it's okay to critique those brands on that. They are, without question, the two best luxury brands in the world. When you spend upwards of $400,000 for a luxury car, I would expect every tactile experience to have been considered.
Exactly. The Mercedes S-class had the same 4 cyl. diesel like the E-class and C-class and a bunch of other models. Audi A8 had the same 3.0 TDI as the Audi A4.
It's true, as mentioned by others, all major carmakers share engines amongst all their cars. No idea why it's a big deal, its been in practice for so long... a C Class and an S class literally share engines, same with a 3 series and a 7 series, not a big deal
It may not be the best current market strategy for Genesis to be so focused on sedans, but I love it. I'm totally sick of crossovers, SUVs, and crossover SUVs, etc. I'm excited that someone is willing to put out luxury sedans and seemingly some really good ones, at that.
I have literally memorized all the “Sounds of Nature”, thats how many times he has mentioned it. Edit: lol thx for 70 likes never thought id get that much.
I like how Genesis makes their cars look pretty European, with this car especially looking pretty British. My mom saw a Genesis G80 once and thought it was a British brand, not knowing it is actually how far Hyundai has come in decades.
In Korea, the parking spots are tiny compared to in the states. Population density means they pack more people into a space, so parking garages have to maximize space, so spots are tight af. Every parking lot I’ve been in while in Korea has tight spots. It’s why power folding mirrors and parking sensors are basically standard equipment on even the cheapest of cars here. This remote drive feature makes much more sense for those situations, but I could see it being handy anywhere in the world honestly.
Yup, and I'm not a fan. Just move the screen closer so we can touch it. We meaning the driver and passenger. These Dials and now Acura's touchpads are complete junk.
Roemu TT I go on UA-cam to find rain sounds or ‘A campfire on the beach with waves’ type stuff. I like to use those channels when I read. Anyway, the sounds I find on UA-cam seem better than what I heard Doug play in the Genesis. But maybe he just picked a couple duds. I really didn’t like the Snowy Village one. I hate walking on crunchy snow like that!
Doug, EVERY LUXURY BRAND HAS AT LEAST 3 SEDANS...Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Acura, Lexus. I agree with your note about the overlapping engines, but they’re trying to compete in all the size classes that everyone else has.
Thanks for reviewing the sedans. My wife and I are trend busters. We prefer sedans and in 2018 replaced her Honda Pilot with a new Mazda 6. I hate to see sedans fading in popularity.
honestly they have been ironclad since the mid 2000s going by my dad's 2004 elantra with 400k on the original gearbox/engine and all the long term reviews posted by long term owners who knew to changed the oil wasnt optional. Sadly most hyundais were not treated well, had owners who think basic maintenance is a superstition and curbs are just a mild bumps in the way of a parking spot they had eyed. Only in the last 10 years have they been bought by the same sorts who buy hondas and toyotas.
@@anasevi9456 That's so true man, those cars are really reliable just the owners are the problem, The Elentra and the Sonata of that early-mid 2000's are such great cars, btw wich model your father had the 1.6 liter or the 2.0?
@@KC-mw8to i have no doubt these cars are built better then a BMW/Mercedes or even Audi. Kia/Hyundai built quality and reliability is definitely superior to everyone, but they have to be persistent and they won't shift many units overnight.
@@dragospahontu I get your point but 30 years ago everyone also said this exact thing about Lexus. Now they sell 700.000 cars per year. But since their product policy is aged, I think that Genesis could take place in a few years. A few years ago people said this about tesla. Now they're one of the most valuable brands. People also said this about Volvo which used to be a normal brand but now developed successfully as a premium brand. I'll give them a try, not to mention Hyundai understands the European market wayyyy better than Toyota does.
Is there anything a sedan with a trunk does that a hatchback (e.g. a Prius or Panamera), wagon or crossover doesn’t do better? I guess a trunk can weigh less and mimic a classic look. Are those the only upsides of the traditional sedan-with-a-trunk format?
It's a slightly smaller opening which can be beneficial for tight spaces. Also, an entire hatch can be cumbersome for some people if it's not automatic.
lower Center of gravity so it rides better and also a little lighter, at ; least compared to a crossover also better sound isolation since its not as much glass
This car feels like a 90s luxury brand concept car of what luxury cars would be 20 years later. And I love every bit of it.

I can't stand the SUV trend. Sedans are so much classier. Hope Genesis keeps the G80 long term.
The growth South Korean have done in the last 10-15 years is astounding.
If you told me 15 years ago Hyundai and Kia would make high quality good cars and they would have their own luxury brand that rivals BMW and Mercedes in quality I would get you a therapist
Couldn't agree more. Also, Korea owns the smartphone and household appliances market lol
They have come a long way
It’s a shame so many people are still stuck in the past
Hyundai/Kia/Genesis have been doing more innovation than Toyota and Honda in the past 10 years. Change my mind.
@@joskjj3625 I think it will be a few years before the public opinion actually changes and groups them with Japanese cars in terms of general quality but I do think it will happen soon

Nice catch, I agree.
Who the hell wants more SUV’s lol, glad they are making a lot of sedans
If your comment does not get 150 likes by 29 November 2020, I will stab myself in the leg with a butterknife.
Doug has to consider they make cars for more than just the American market. In Korea they sell a lot more sedans, so they need these models. I see at least a couple of each of the sedans daily. I can go a few days without seeing a GV80 however
Apparently everyone; In the US; SUVs made up 47.4% of sales in 2019 while sedans made up 22.1% (NY Times, May 2020). I like sedans better too but to answer your question; car companies can charge more for basically the same thing, albeit higher suspension, more storage, AWD becoming quite standard. BMW for example, the 3 series sedan starts at $41k, while the X3 starts around 43k.
SUVs are unsightly and clumsy, the only one I respect under 100k would be the jeep trackhawk. Now that's an SUV that doesn't feel like one!
Exactly ! I love my Sedan lol
Doug: “it’s sad that Genesis uses the same engines in all its vehicles. You can get the same engine in all three cars.”
Mercedes, Audi, BMW: “Hold my 2.0t, 3.0t, 4.0t beers”
It’s ok because it lets you pick between power and mpg. It’s fucking smart
Hyundai's rise to legitimacy has been fascinating to witness
They have come a long way in the last 15 years!
Oh yeah this is in my head now firmly in S cass tech and interior, before I didn’t see it but I do with this one
It really has come a long long way I had a excel back in 88 I now have a Sonata SEL PLUS and I absolutely love it and I have had nothing but compliments on it .
Similar to Honda and Toyota. Kudos to Hyundai.
If someone had told me years ago I would be a Hyundai owner, I would have laughed. Now we own two different Hyundai models that have long since proven themselves as reliable and dependable vehicles.
Doug the type of guy who appreciates a well made blinker switch.
Not only him. Since it is, as he mentioned, one of the most touched areas in a car, its highly important for then to have a quality feel to them.
Heck I appreciate a well made blinker switch. Very satisfying to move something up and down that isn't a cheap piece of plastic
Hyundai: *makes a really good car*

Yes
That textured metal is referred to as knurled. Amazing how far Hyundai has evolved from the Excel in the mid 80's.
I suspect I understand the strategy of Genesis: they are going for a bigger slice of a smaller pie by being a better offer. Sure, SUVs are the rave. but everyone is getting in on the action in the segment and there are some compelling choices in every SUV category you can name. But with less emphasis on sedans by so many previous players, there's more of a chance to shine if you put in the effort, which Genesis has done.
It’s a nice car , hopefully they do well.
Nice, can’t wait to buy one used in 3 years in the $20k range
honestly i doubt it... at least not at this trim level. at this trim level, aside from the most driven examples, you're still talking about (at least) 30k

I got this one, it's beautiful. The 3D gauge cluster however is a little bit too gimmicky, I turn it off since it's not HD, you can really start to see the pixels, but using it as a normal gauge cluster with no 3D, it's amazing quality. It drives very smooth, and honestly it's actually a really nice place to be. Coming from a 5 series, I'd definitely recommend this car! At least the prestige model.

Zero plastic is a little bit hard to get...
Fairly certain only Spyker has essentially zero plastic in the interior.
Yes...he even complained about Bentley and Rolls Royce for their plastic turn signal stalks
@@ch6inre6ction11 In fairness, I think it's okay to critique those brands on that. They are, without question, the two best luxury brands in the world. When you spend upwards of $400,000 for a luxury car, I would expect every tactile experience to have been considered.
China : no, everything should have plastic
Sharing engines? BMW puts that 3 L turbo six cylinder in almost everything it makes
Exactly. The Mercedes S-class had the same 4 cyl. diesel like the E-class and C-class and a bunch of other models. Audi A8 had the same 3.0 TDI as the Audi A4.
19:43 has the naturally aspirated V8 torque.
That is literally exactly what I was thinking. Pretty sure the m340i, 540i and 740i all share the b58 inline 6, and the X7 40i etc etc
Premium Hyundai 😑
It's true, as mentioned by others, all major carmakers share engines amongst all their cars. No idea why it's a big deal, its been in practice for so long... a C Class and an S class literally share engines, same with a 3 series and a 7 series, not a big deal
It may not be the best current market strategy for Genesis to be so focused on sedans, but I love it. I'm totally sick of crossovers, SUVs, and crossover SUVs, etc. I'm excited that someone is willing to put out luxury sedans and seemingly some really good ones, at that.
I'm getting a pretty good vibe from this car. The styling really is refreshing, and it seems honest in the way the original lexus ls did

Loving this car so far, all of the reviews has been so positive so far.
Doug lives in San Diego.
He rarely hears the sound of rain - no wonder he liked it and listened for 20 minutes. :)
In Korea, the parking spots are tiny compared to in the states. Population density means they pack more people into a space, so parking garages have to maximize space, so spots are tight af. Every parking lot I’ve been in while in Korea has tight spots. It’s why power folding mirrors and parking sensors are basically standard equipment on even the cheapest of cars here. This remote drive feature makes much more sense for those situations, but I could see it being handy anywhere in the world honestly.
Genesis took a good look at the old ipods for their screen controls, those worked basically the same way.
Yup, and I'm not a fan. Just move the screen closer so we can touch it. We meaning the driver and passenger. These Dials and now Acura's touchpads are complete junk.
The rain sound sounds like a public toilet😂
Roemu TT I go on UA-cam to find rain sounds or ‘A campfire on the beach with waves’ type stuff. I like to use those channels when I read.
Anyway, the sounds I find on UA-cam seem better than what I heard Doug play in the Genesis. But maybe he just picked a couple duds. I really didn’t like the Snowy Village one. I hate walking on crunchy snow like that!

Doug, EVERY LUXURY BRAND HAS AT LEAST 3 SEDANS...Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Acura, Lexus. I agree with your note about the overlapping engines, but they’re trying to compete in all the size classes that everyone else has.
Thanks for reviewing the sedans. My wife and I are trend busters. We prefer sedans and in 2018 replaced her Honda Pilot with a new Mazda 6. I hate to see sedans fading in popularity.

I dare to say Korean cars are as reliable as Japanese ones these days.
honestly they have been ironclad since the mid 2000s going by my dad's 2004 elantra with 400k on the original gearbox/engine and all the long term reviews posted by long term owners who knew to changed the oil wasnt optional. Sadly most hyundais were not treated well, had owners who think basic maintenance is a superstition and curbs are just a mild bumps in the way of a parking spot they had eyed.
Only in the last 10 years have they been bought by the same sorts who buy hondas and toyotas.
@@anasevi9456 That's so true man, those cars are really reliable just the owners are the problem, The Elentra and the Sonata of that early-mid 2000's are such great cars, btw wich model your father had the 1.6 liter or the 2.0?

Kia/Hyundai built quality and reliability is definitely superior to everyone, but they have to be persistent and they won't shift many units overnight.
@@dragospahontu I get your point but 30 years ago everyone also said this exact thing about Lexus. Now they sell 700.000 cars per year. But since their product policy is aged, I think that Genesis could take place in a few years. A few years ago people said this about tesla. Now they're one of the most valuable brands. People also said this about Volvo which used to be a normal brand but now developed successfully as a premium brand. I'll give them a try, not to mention Hyundai understands the European market wayyyy better than Toyota does.
Is there anything a sedan with a trunk does that a hatchback (e.g. a Prius or Panamera), wagon or crossover doesn’t do better? I guess a trunk can weigh less and mimic a classic look. Are those the only upsides of the traditional sedan-with-a-trunk format?
It's a slightly smaller opening which can be beneficial for tight spaces. Also, an entire hatch can be cumbersome for some people if it's not automatic.
My guess would be that they are a bit quieter than hatchbacks, wagons and SUVs, thanks to the cargo space being closed-off from the cabin
lower Center of gravity so it rides better and also a little lighter, at ; least compared to a crossover
also better sound isolation since its not as much glass
also damn I didnt expect to see tayzonday here
Visibility of the rear, depending on how the hatch pillars are done. Trunks are easier to isolate from house, vibration, harshness than hatches.
