2021 Genesis GV80 First Look
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- The all-new Genesis GV80 is the first true competitor to the BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE from Asia. Why? Because until now companies like Lexus and Acura have used mainstream FWD platforms to make their two and three row crossovers, but not Genesis. They decided to go the extra mile and craft an all-new SUV/crossover platform with all-new turbo engines and rear wheel drive for a true head-to-head competitor. Game on.

![[4K] GENESIS GV80 Exterior & Interior POV / Wordless look around](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EzA_G18l0mw/mqdefault.jpg)
This looks like a winner! Kia/Hyundai/Genesis is on the "come" as they say... Between the Stinger, G70, Telluride, Palisade, Veloster, and now this they are hitting home runs.
Ace of Spades the stinger that’s doing poorly in sales right?
I believe the term is "on the come up". Nice try though, home slice 😒😒
Of all those cars, this is my least favorite. The design of the GV80 reminds me of a car from like Grand Theft Auto or some concept car. Interior looks good but outside just isn't my thing. People make fun of BMW and Lexus grills, but this one is massive. The shape is too round IMO. The Telluride is popular not because of the price (although that helps), but because it looks badass. This just doesn't to me.
@@JulezWinnfield It's a gambling term.
@@kevs2good133 It doesn't that the stinger is a bad car. As someone who would never own one, I respect it.
Sorry for the typo. It is a 2021, not a 2020. Also, the new diesel is an in-line 6 rather than a V6. My bad.
I think the passenger seat has a massaging seat just not the seven air Chambers
Gorgeous SUV!! Great job Genesis, definitely the best looking vehicle from them so far!! Great video, thank you!!
Alex, I live in Korea and plan to buy a GV80 when the 3.5 V6 is available. Also, the diesel is an in-line 6, 3.0L, not a V6.
As you probably know, The Genesis GV80 is now on sale in Korea. I have driven one at the dealer at Gangnam, a really super car dealership!
Using the current exchange rate of 1155 KRW = $1.00
Starting price in Korea is 65,800,000 KRW or $56,970
Fully loaded is about 80,000,000 KRW or $69,264 (with ALL options)
.
The genesis salesman told me he expects the gas V6 will be about $2,000 cheaper than the diesel here in Korea. It will be interesting what the starting price is when they go on sale in the US.
Hey Alex, great review. That Genesis has a gorgeous interior. Good job handling the crazy public atmosphere with people walking into & mindlessly through your shot! Kudos to your cameraman as well. As a corporate trainer who presents to large audiences from time to time, it can be absolutely nerve-wracking. Well done!
Just saw a South Korean review for this car. This one has Augmented reality navigation ... like modern Merceses-Benz models. Fascinating!!
The best reviewer of automobiles and trucks.
fav
I really like the side profile of the GV80.
me too!
I love your display photo. This is where Mitsubishi could have been if it was managed properly.
It could have been. Remember the Sigma?
man, that interior. Just gorgeous. That brown and green 6:25. Insane!
Lexus is in dilemma. If they pack the new cars with new gadgets/technologies, then they would lose the crown of reliability. But if they continue to their cars with old technologies in order to keep the title for being reliable, they would lose customers, especially young customers. Right now, Lexus is really boring to drive. You do feel premium in a Lexus but not Luxury any more. Lexus is starting like Buick and Lincoln which attract older people more than young people.
Now when you think about it. For the same price on the same class of vehicles, let's say the RX is about $50K. If this car would also be the same price as the RX, you'd get more stuffs for spending $50K. Lexus is actually more expensive than most competitors because you are just spending $50K for reliability from older technologies where other competitors like this one, the Mercedes GLE 350, BMW X4 and so on actually come with more newer stuffs/design and better performance.
Yeah but good luck. The infotainment is trash and they won't even change that.
@Fides Yes, I am so surprised but Japanese tech is now basically the worst in the car industry. They still use CD players in Japan.
@Fides and on the other hand korea is maybe the most technologically advanced nation, just look at Samsung and lg and also how good and usable the technology is in Hyundai and kia cars
@Fides crazy to think how advanced korea is now compared to not even that long ago how it was one of the poorest 3rd world countries, my mother went their in the early 80's in the military and said that lady's were selling there daughters for prostitution in a desperate attempt to make money and now today their on of the biggest economies on the planet, the Korean's work very hard to improve and it reflect in the quality and design of hyundai/kia/genesis
You couldn't be more closer to the truth. I sat in my Aunt's recently purchased 2020 LX570 (We live in Pennsylvania) and the tech in that car feels like an insult. At $100k+ she paid, I expect it to have Android Auto and Apple Car-play like my other Aunt's Toyota Sienna but no, it's Toyota/Lexus poor excuse to not pay Apple/Google licensing. But hey, it's not my car after all.
I must say, this Genesis SUV is just beautiful! The interior appointments appear to be very nice. The best thing about this is that it is RWD! I have a late model RX350 and I truly dislike its FWD, which is the only gripe I have with it.
Just glad for the VISIBLE exhaust! Interior looks good
Alex has become an excellent auto journalist, not just a nit picky UA-cam reviewer.
This is already on sale in Korea. I saw it at the Genesis Experience in Gangnam. Looks and feels fantastic! And it comes with an all new in line 6 diesel; not V6.
Hey, John. Good to see your Korean perspective. :)
@@stephenhendricks103 Thanks Stephen!
@@johnholst 3.5L Turbo V6 IS coming out soon
@@jsleejr87 I don't know about other markets, but it'll be released in February in Korea.
@Ib7 h I think you're right. You guys won't see it before summer. Right now, we only have the 3L diesel. The two gas engines will be available next month.
I am not surprised that Genesis launched their first SUV so late ... first look clearly shows that their designers took their time to deliver the best! Kudos to them 👏
Very well designed. The steering wheel reminds me on older cars.
This is my next car!
I am in love with the wheels.... just wow. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This thing is beautiful.
4:36 Look what happened when the guy tried to put himself on the 3rd row.... oh lawd
he was wearing a thong
Wardrobe malfunction 😂
Glad he wasn't going "commando".
Dudes shouldn't wear tight pants. Do they not have balls?
Didn’t notice that the first time.
GOOD FOR YOU ALEX!
This model will sell the most units for Genesis because SUVs sales are very hot, like the RX for Lexus and MDX for Acura.
oldschool1 only of Genesis prices it correctly. That, packaging, and the test drive will determine this vehicle’s fate in the U.S.
@Darkivaz-AAA rx is now due for redesign, my coworker just buy a 2019 f sport. That shit is nice
😂😂😂
Alex, I will never take a daytime car review video for granted again.
Appreciate y’all from Texas ^^
This is how I think the front and rear end of the g90's design should've looked. The design on this SUV looks really good. Restrained, yet stylish
Alex is so much better than the little guy from redline reviews
Love the level of detail and your annunciation! Very informative and pleasant to watch. Thank you!
When the car first rolls out in the beginning.... Holy F*#@$! is that a good looking vehicle!!!! Hats off to them for that design
Great effort under trying conditions, Alex. Your comments that Genesis appears to be going after the European brands is spot on, I think. It's important to keep in mind that the Genesis brand is aimed in large part at Asian markets where Japanese and American brands are minor players in the luxury market compared to European (and especially German) brands. Here in the US we often assume that our market is the highest priority for almost every brand. But Korea has its sights on their own home market and that of other Asian markets, especially the 800 lb gorilla in the room, China. The perspective manifests itself in the Hyundai brand as well where the Korean built Palisade has a more European flair than the American built Telluride. European brands have long been the ultimate prestige brands in Asia where there remains considerable antipathy toward Japan as a result of WWII. Genesis has found considerable success with their G80 and G90 sedans versus MB, BMW, and Audi. As I recall, in fact, in the first six months after introduction of the latest G90, sales of comparable Mercedes and BMW brands dropped by about 1/3rd in Korea.
I am actually very impressed with what Genesis did with this. I think that's an ideal size and set up. Similar to the second generation X5
This certainly looks worlds better than the Genesis G90. You do an amazing job at reviewing these vehicles, Alex! Keep up the amazing work!
Car looks perfect in that setting
That looks a lot better than 90% of what I see on the road.
Great review Alex. You are the best reviewer out there! Thank you
Wow! The interior shot at 6:16. Goodness.
This car is stunning
디자인어때요? 예쁘지 않나요??
I did watch the Korean release event on YT weeks ago, so I’m very aware of the car. Genesis has to build out their stand alone dealerships. Period! I went to a Hyundai dealership a few years ago to look at the G80 and couldn’t stomach it and I’m not some privileged guy. My point is Hyundai dealerships are really awful and the same sales people selling all the Hyundai’s (many of which are very good cars) were selling Genesis. The problem was they knew far less than I did about the car and didn’t really seem to care about making the sale.
Those aren’t fake air vents. They’re lights and meant to match the size and lines of the rear and front lights.
Steve Wise I agree! Went to test drive the G70 2. Months ago and same situation. Genesis vehicles were far away from the lot and no available salespeople.only worried about making a sale they don’t know anything
Genesis has faced HUGE challenges in deploying their dealerships in the US. Like Japanese luxury sub-brands before them (e.g. Lexus, Acura, Infiniti) Genesis initially tried to deny existing Hyundai dealers access to Genesis vehicles or to build completely separate dealerships to offer Genesis products. They were sued by a number of Hyundai dealers and forced to backtrack and postpone opening standalone Genesis dealers in much of the US. The situation is changing after Genesis and dealers reached compromise solutions in a number of states but the fallout continues. Your experience is not atypical.
Amari Exactly! Thanks for the response. Can you imagine people going to a Hyundai dealership and dealing with the same experience while considering this beautiful luxury SUV?
Automobile Walkthrough Have you? I clearly stated “U.S.” reading problems much? ;)
Stephen Hendricks I’m very familiar with the Genesis story around the dealerships. I was asked to become part of a Dallas Genesis dealership ownership group.
Genesis USA had no concrete answers for us regarding 1) how they would choose stand alone dealerships and what showroom design mandated would include 2) when they would start licensing dealerships to sell their cars 3) how soon they would be releasing the GV80 here in the U.S. 4) when they would be releasing the GV70 5) when they planned release of an all electric or hybrid option on either of the two SUV’s or cars 6) How they were going to support dealerships with ad buys etc.. This was November 2019.
As for my experience and the experience of others test driving Genesis cars at Hyundai dealership, my experience was absolutely typical.
Another great video, Alex. Good job. This will be SUV of the year.
Once the GV90 comes out they'll probably get rid of the 3rd row option for the GV80
Gv90 May not come out yet, after GV70 an all new all electric SUV will follow.
@@MrGeezil after the gv80 the next gen g80 will come out then probably the gv70 and a possibility of a sports coup called the gt90 before a gv80
Once the GV90 comes out, Genesis I think will explode in sales.
Just bought the 2020 GLE450. Should have waited for this. Probably could have got more car for less money. But the wife is a badge snob and really likes that three pointed star.
And this thing will probably turns more heads since 99.9% of people have zero ideas of what Genesis is.
Alex...Your skills are impeccable. All that info in a very short video. Great Job
Waiting for the GV70, the GV80 is out of my price range.
Ooooh! HMG is out here to take everyone's breakfast, lunch AND dinner... 🙌🏻
Hyundai is hitting out of the park with this Genesis GV80. Impressed with the quality. A German competitor, in a segment Acura or Lexus is yet to step in...a RWD based unibody crossover. Very RWD overhangs, very Alfa Romeo/Masarati SUV spirit like with some Bentley styling cues.
@Raschaud Farmer The MDX isn't even as good as a Palisade, yet alone as a Genesis GV80. My family has owned Toyotas for 50 years. Toyota is no where close to what they were during the Eiji Toyoda and Ichiro Suzuki years. Not even close. Second, Honda has nowhere near the capacity or the capital of what current Hyundai is Today, it's barely hanging on. Unlike Honda who recruited ex GM designers and Engineers after the Big Layoffs ( which is rare for a culture that is not open in recieving outsiders in their business culture) during the 2008 Bankruptcy, Hyundai picked up 35 of the Best designers and engineers from the German competition. The innovative company Honda was, is no longer there. Your comment reminds me when the LS400 came out and I was truly amazed, in the fall of 1989 how revolutionary it was. BMW and Mercedes fans were commenting that Toyota didn't have Iconic cars like the W123 or the 2002tti. How can it even be as good? How hard it was for them to accept Toyota's achievement. Then 20 years later, the Germans reinvented themselves with amazing vehicles that were only hampered by poor reliability, but were far more desirable than any thing current Lexus/Acura was building. Name a premium platform Honda uses for Acura? There's none. In the end That is what your comment reminds me of. Living in the past, letting time pass them by. With new progressions, History repeats itself self. There's always a company reinventing itself to greatness. In 10 years it'll be someone else when Hyundai will rest on it's laurels, like Honda and Toyota, and someone will pass them. But for the next ten years, Hyundai/Kia/Genesis will be the ones to keep on eye on.
@Raschaud Farmer but the LS is on a premium RWD platform. The RDX, a stretched Accord/Civic. Sorry you're talking like a Honda fanboy. Being in the automotive industry for 30 years, it's a matter of time before some partners up with Honda. Hyundai corporation made a profit of 34.8 billion dollars. Honda corporation made 9 billion. I love Toyotas, but even I know Hyundai is the one to watch. Honda has been dead for a decade.
@Raschaud Farmer ok. I'll simplify it for you. The new accord went to the Civic platform, the Rest went on the next generation of what was the old Accord platform. I've seen what's coming. You need to drive more cars . However, you are free to like whatever you want. I'm just saying not to underestimate Hyundai.
I've been saying it for a few years now, but the Hyundai/Kia/Genesis group is just killing it these days.
Pikminiman thanks hiring former VW designer from 2007 and BMW M department
@@RonsmooveTI : I'm not talking about aesthetics. I'm talking about engineering. Hyundai/Kia reliability seems to have skyrocketed in recent years, which I rather appreciate.
Nice! I'll take two.....
Wow, thanks for doing so much research on the features on this car! Otherwise, based on some other impressions of the car, I didn't see any reason to get this over a Paliside/Telluride. Good to know that we can ditch the useless 3rd row. I do worry that most SUV drivers are not going to like the feel of a RWD and probably stiffer suspension.
If it has a STIFFER suspension and harsher ride because of the 22-inch wheels. And a NOISIER engine / exhaust, then that is a huge *DOWNGRADE* for me!! Why would I pay much *MORE* for a vehicle that is much *WORSE* in my opinion (rollseyes). A large SUV has to emphasize COMFORT AND LUXURY, first and foremost for things like long road trips.
If I want something "sporty", I will buy a sports coupe for times when I feel like driving like that (rollseyes). Exactly! Telluride became an even better bargain! In fact, if I bought a Telluride, I would buy the top-of-line Prestige model, and replace those horrendous 20 inch wheels with the 18 inch wheels, for a SOFTER ride and better off-road capability!! (bigger sidewalls)
And just FYI, I just drove a 2020 Toyota Highlander and a 2020 Telluride, back to back (one after the other) and was stunned how *DEAD QUIET* the TELLURIDE engine/exhaust was!!! Even at close to 4000 RPM, I could not hear anything. Whereas the HIGHLANDER engine/exhaust was so *NOISY AND UNREFINED.* I'm really torn between the Highlander's bulletproof quality, reliability and longevity VS. the Telluride refinement, quietness and comfort!
Not V6 diesel... all new inline 6
6:20
The Korean prices were announced at $57K USD. If these are sold at the Lexus RX 350 prices, US is basically getting close to $15K USD discount from its Korean models. I ain't complaining. =)
In perspective the RX 350 is about $69,600 USD in Korea.
This will shake n wake Lexus up to refresh their interiors and tech. Definitely RX killer. I wont be surprised if it eats up MDX sales as well.
Only needs a proper shift knob (Hand Rest) to be perfect., also much safer and no look in a emergency when you have to shift quickly back and forth multiple times in the snow and what not.
that genesis looks nice, it might make my bmw look subpar
The best car in the world.
Genesis nailed the interior, but the grill is enormous even by modern standards. Also the rear side profile is awkwardly bulky to accommodate the 3rd row, like the Lexus RX 350L. I'm sure performance and value will impress!
Makes the Bentayga look like a front-wheel drive Chinese knock-off.
Luc Donckerwolke interior/designer for Bentley/Audi/Lamborghini made the design!!
The rear end seems rather reminiscent of the Porche Cayenne or Macan. Size looks similar to my Jag F-Pace or the Audi Q8. It's beautiful, I might have to take a hard look at this one!
Lexus RX has legendary reliability and long term ownership and resale value
Still doesn’t make up for all of its faults as a luxury suv
Based on the numbers so far, Genesis is a close second.
Kuya Arbee Also, you all speak of legendary Toyota reliability but I don’t see that when Scotty Kilmer is telling people to stay away from Toyota’s 8 speed transmissions and their hybrids like the highlander, and he’s the Toyota fanboy that everyone loves so I’ll take my chance with genesis seeing my Hyundai with 227,000 miles still runs like new so....
Whatever. This masterpiece is going to bury it.
Hyundai/kia/Genesis are right up there with Toyota and above Honda at this point. Minus their older Theta II turbos but that's been redesigned and they handled the fiasco decently for a big automaker. Most of the Toyota/Lexus needs a redesign pretty bad and even the redesigned ones have the interior build quality or premium design of the Koreans.
GV stands for great value
NAILED IT!!! Ok Acura, you better nail the new MDX
best proportioned midsize suv in the market
Looks really nice other than the oversized grille and the Pep Boys side appliques.
Alex, I couldn't tell from the video, but is the turn signals amber or red in the rear?
It appeared to be amber. We will know soon...
@@AAutoBuyersGuide Yay! I very much welcome more amber turn signals in the US!
You guessed it would be priced close to the RX. What price is that? How much do you think it will go for well equipped version? I know it's a guess, but ball park it please.
Yay for real exhausts!
You know Genesis/Hyundai are serious when they develop this SUV from scratch on an RWD platform and new engines. This is a long term game for the company and it looks like it will pay off. Unlike the hastily developed parts bin Cadillac XT6 that GM made for the bean counters.
5:34 Hey, Soyfan!👋🏼 You gotta be quicker than that! Lol. Jk.
😂 lol sofyan sounds like a chipmunk and is always opinionated/biases whereas aoa is more objective, detailed oriented, and precise yet concise
Love front grill and interior
No mention of the Avaitor. I think the GV80 is more of a competitor to that.
It’s hard to say yet, the Aviator has a nice interior but it’s roomier inside.
It's a beautiful vehicle
This should have come out five years ago, but better late than never!!
Excellent attention to details... I like how Genesis has taken the market by storm and upset the apple cart of who is considered the best luxury manufacturer.
I am excited to see what the sound levels and noise levels are like
Alex, what happened to your XT6 video you uploaded today? Was that also pre-editorial, like 1st vdo of Highlander hybrid you guys published?
New 2.5T in the Stinger + in this for the family hauler.
Just waiting on the new g80
ventilated seats take on a new direction Alex - looking good!
The car looks amazing but will it out live the Lexus Rx350 is remain to be seen. I have been driving Lexus for a while and it's really hard to switch. Genesis and Tesla is definitely in my list of next purchase car.
They win the biggest grill award.
No Lexus wins that
@@Yondaily i don't know about that this is pretty big
Beau~~~tiful!!!
Their Gv70 will be their biggest hit
But this is nice. Bring on the new G80!
Hyundai is the automaker to beat in a growing number of segments. They are doing a great job on quality and value. Japan and America better check their six
But how they are not the top selling ?
To start, their dealers aren't very good. They also have struggled on fuel economy until recently. Another big one is they don't sell trucks.
Wow you gotta have this in all wheel drive unless you dont get snowy weather.
Instant best seller.
Nice and beautiful suv hope they will have dealership for North American market!
Good looking vehicle!
good design
You and Sofyan are really there in Miami for the Superbowl, right?
Great job, Alex! Acura and my beloved MDX (I've owned 2 and they're great) are dead :-( . ...Hyundai, please, take my money!
I wonder if the 2.5T will become available on Palisade & Telluride at some point.
Unlikely. The issue is the transmission, or lack there of. Hyundai doesn’t have a transaxle that will work with that kind of power aside from the new 8 speed DCT which is probably not the best pair for the Palisade.
WOW new concept rear wheel drive....
beautiful!
Nice looking car
Shes breath taking. They're going to dominate the luxury suv market. No way this vehicle is 44k like ex 350. It's going to start at midday 50's to 60k. And Awd model will hit mid 60s. This meant to compete with Benz, Audi and bmw. Its shame they cant offer this fir 40k. Demand would be a high that itll out the remainder SUVs out if buisness
And you've just changed my view on that car. I was sure that they won't be able to compete with Germans.. but, hell yeah. (with a small exception for rotary gear selector).
Curious to know how this compares to the Audi Q7
The new Genesis brand looks like a game-changer. Reminds me of the Lexus brand, a generation ago
They just need to level up their marketing. If you make great cars, but nobody knows it, will they sell?
The answer is no, they won't.
Costs for the GV80? $50-70k, which is why it "feels more premium" than the $40k Lexus RX
Hi Alex, will you review the 2020 VW Passat?
I think it will do well and there is a lot I like about it but I still prefer the Mercedes GLS.
What happened to the 2020 Cadillac XT6 video you posted earlier?
Alex looks too cute sitting on that 3rd row. haha
@Darkivaz-AAA I don't think this guy understands the context.
