We own a 22 GV70 3.5TT Sport/Prestige. It has 35.5k miles on it after 2.5 years and while we love it, it has had a few failures including one towed trip to replace an oil sender (CVV or CBB at 6k miles). The car is a joy to drive; however, dealership support is abysmal. Until Genesis separates all its Genesis dealerships from Hyundai dealerships, they will have upset luxury car owners being treated as Hyundai owners.
The fact Genesis did the interiors of the GV80 with little to no piano blk plastic is amazing. Seat belts should have been green and blue to give more contrast. Still beautiful interior.
Yes. Korean clunkers are better than the German ones. But they are still unreliable and have big ownership costs, especially after the warranty period. There is no comparison to Lexus (#1 reliable auto brand), with a #3 low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) - unbeatable in the luxury segment.
Unfortunately Genesis is only slightly better than the German luxury clunkers. There is no comparison to Lexus, the most reliable auto brand. Thus, adding the low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) #3 ranking, Lexus has the best luxury cars - confirmed by the lowest depreciation in the luxury segments, unlike this Korean brand (it's not in the Top 10 reliability nor Low TCO).
Actually, on average, Genesis cars depreciate 60% in five years, whereas Lexus depreciates 53.3% on average in five years, so it is not that big of a difference.
Genesis is much more reliable than German brands? Yes, but compared to Lexus, it's hit or miss. Their models are still relatively new, so they still have a long way to go before they determine which component is best. The vehicle shown here, the GV80, was only launched in 2020 (as far as I can remember), so it's been four years since this car was launched, and this is the first refresh this car has gotten in that time.
Genesis has already surpassed all U.S. and Japanese car brands in both emotional and technical aspects. Perhaps, considering the price, you can directly compete with German luxury car brands and get satisfaction similar to Mercedes-Benz and Bmw. If you look at a few cheap Hyundai Kia cars and judge a Genesis car, it is nonsense. The person who delivers more than 8,000 cars a year made in Germany, the U.S., Japan, Korea, and France is being honest. Recently, Hyundai Kia Motors is more comfortable and less broken than Toyota, Honda and Nissan, and Genesis cannot be compared to American or Japanese brands except Mercedes Benz and BMW. If you are brainwashed into Toyota's durability myth and Audi's German brand image, try driving about 10 Genesis.
Oh, the Korean fanbois are so funny 🤣 The weighted average of the reliability rankings from Consumer Reports for the last 5 years: #1 Lexus, #2 Toyota, #3 Mazda, #4 Honda, #5 Acura, ... #8 Porsche, #11 BMW (#9 last year), #18 Genesis (#18 LY), #21 Mercedes (#29 last year). It's even funnier with the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) for 15 years in the USA: #1 Toyota ~10k, #2 Mitsubishi ~13k, #3 Lexus ~13k, #4 Honda ~ 14k, #5 Mazda ~14k... #20 Genesis ~22k, #27 Mercedes ~26k, #31 BMW (Bring My Wallet) ~30k, #32 Porsche ~33k! Good luck with Mercedes, BMW! True, Genesis is better than most of the German luxury brands, but very far away from Lexus.
@@light-light, let's suppose you are right. But for the smart buyers there are far more important parameters like the reliability, low TCO and number of recalls (overall giving the resale value, far better for the Japanese vs. Koreans), thus Lexus is #1 and Genesis #18 🤣 Then, let's talk about the design and let me educate you, as I am a designer and my firm is pioneering active houses' concept: Lexus got some Red Dot design awards, while Genesis is just exhibiting opulence (very appreciated by snowflakes and uneducated buyers). I do understand that you are a Korean fanboi, but you should understand that you are in a conflict of interest and that the truth is against you.
Can't wait for Toyota/Lexus fanboys to defend their exploitative brand! I certainly love the way they falsified their safety results. Can't wait for them to defend their oh-so-dear brands!
Oh, I am sure Hyundai/Kia/Genesis did not cause their cars' brakes to fail and cause many people to die. I am sure Hyundai/Kia/Genesis did not falsify their safety results. It is not always about Consumer Reports; it is about those who use their brains and go for the right brand, which is Genesis. Seriously, go look at every rating out there, even the reputable Car and Driver rates Lexus cars so low, and Genesis cars are always three to one in their rankings. AND, Genesis isn't even a decade old. Lexus is occasionally not even in the top five. Seriously, reliability for what? Sacrificing the best of the modern world for less. It's amusing to see how easily people turn a blind eye and go with the flow. It's smart to occasionally try something else.
If you took away the Genesis badge and told me this was a $205,925 Bentley Bentayga, I'd be like, yup, that sounds about right. (Yes, I do realize that there are two former Bentley Designers who had input on this design - Luc Donckerwolke and Sang Yup Lee). Given this start at $59,050 and tops out at ~$80k is unreal. Definitely car goals.. Amazing review and keep up the amazing work!
Hi Lauren, BTW,Loved you on Red Pill News ! THANK GOD, Genesis changed out that awful steering wheel !! Genesis seems to be listening to their customer base. Love the Channel. Kindest Regards. Julian from NFNY
Th# X5 is a much better vehicle and a better value. I think it's called a GV80, b/c it costs $80k. You can get a better X5 for $75k. And better service. The bmw base engine gets 23/27. This GV80 gets 16/22. That's a huge difference. Unless you REALLY need a 3rd row, I'd go for the X5. It's the best bang for your buck - and that B58 engine is very reliable, as well as the bmw transmission.
Here in Australia I have a gv80 and have to take the car to Hyundai to have car serviced and to have wireless car installed and the car been in two times to install it but they are unable to do it love the car but would never by another until they move away from Hyundai who have admitted that they just phone up someone who can tell them how to fix the car
You clearly have great taste. Maybe trade it in for another GV80. My guess is they will be coming out with a GV80 Hybrid next year so perhaps put that on the test drive list too (may want to wait for year 2 - try to avoid year 1 of any car).
We currently have a Cadillac XT5. We are beginning to decide to trade it in. We like the XT5, but are wanting to test drive a GV80. I really like the way it looks. Watching videos of it though looks like the seat bolsters on the upper seats are pretty narrow. I am a 240 lb guy and can not have the seats digging into me. Can you open the bolsters wide enough to not notice them? I know that I have to test drive and find out for myself. What do you current owners think of the seat comfort. And how about for bigger people.
What about the lack of reliability and the big ownership costs, especially after the warranty period? A lot of show off, but the lack of reliability is a huge red light.

Great review Lauren!

Hi Lauren. Great upgrades of the GV80. Genisis is really on top of their game. Personally they are the equal of premium Japanese and German brands and incredible value. Excellent choice for a luxury vehicle. Like always, a wonderful review, thank you carcoach.
The comparison with Japanese luxury (such as Lexus) is dumb. Genesis looks nice, but smart people will not buy a German or Korean clunker, given their lack of reliability (while Lexus is the most reliable auto brand and #3 low TCO = Total Cost of Ownership).

That's the Dune color which used to be paired with the Ultramarine Blue shown here with white leather. Now they changed the blue to a dark green to pair the Dune with another contrasting color
I mean wow, what a car beautiful, elegant and right amount of power. A truly luxury in every sense , one brand that is able to challenge the German counterparts in the right way and still affordable than German brands (not cheap though hehe)
Genesis has front and rear cameras. In other markets, they offer a built-in front/rear dash cam. Why not in the US? The car already has the hardware. That feature also comes with augmented reality (the screen shows the road with navigation on top). Again, the car has the hardware, so why is it unavailable? The headlights are 18 individual LEDs. In other markets, they can automatically avoid blinding other drivers while staying on high beam. This is similar to the matrix headlights offered on some Mercedes and Porsche models. Again, it has the hardware. Why not the feature? All the light-colored interiors either have green for the dash/door panels/carpet or blue with white seats. Meanwhile, the black has a light headliner, the only interior color without color-matched headliners. The GV70 and other models have a black headliner with a black interior. It has a self-parking feature, but apparently, it only works if there is a car parked on either side, so it only works in a full parking lot. Many owners will try to park away from other cars to avoid door dings. The model is supposed to also have soft-close doors, but it is unclear if it has them. I haven't seen a review mention them. The wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay is "coming in the future," although it is already on the Santa Fe. Since this is a hardware change, my guess is that cars delivered now will never have it. The 2025 Tucson was announced with Android Auto/Apple Carplay maps on the heads-up display. Will it also come here? Is it also hardware-dependent?
I personally prefer the prior model. Sure, the enhancements to the front are refreshing, but everything else feels like a step backwards. Removing the exhaust tips was a mistake, took much of the rear design appeal, new wheels are not attractive, and that continuous screen trend is really getting tiring and makes it look akin to other Hyundai products. Prior interior design was a lot more distinctive. Btw, nice Chopard, very classy!
I really wanted a Pre-Owned RSQ8 as my next SUV, but this GV80 w/ Prestige package is growing ALOT on me. My only negatives of this vehicle are: - WHY oh WHY isn't the wiper tucked under the rear spoiler? - Who decided to REMOVE the VISIBLE exhaust pipes in the rear? - I'd offer a Blackout Package (this I'd pay a premium for, maybe a Prestige+ package) @GenesisUSA LISTEN to your customers, we are not wrong.
I was going to consider the Genesis until this year. They have decided to go with that god awful big screen tv in the front, and mounting on the dash instead of in the dash makes it even uglier. I went with the BMW instead, they seem to be one of the few car makers that understand that people can't be trusted to keep their eyes on the road when given the option to be distracted by shiny things.

For 80k l would buy a 2 yr old certified Mercedes GLS instead,...it is a nice car though,... but if they come out with a 500+ Hp version, l may be more interested
too many electronic doodads, if they want you to live in the car, gonna need a fridge and garbage disposal. i work from home and don't drive much, only need a car to connect to my smartphone.
This is like an infomercial. Paid for or just stupid praise? Yes, it looks nice, it has a lot of features for snowflakes etc. But the most important thing for a good car is missing: the reliability, even though is slightly better than for the German luxury trio. There is no comparison to Lexus, the most reliable auto brand, having also a 2 times smaller TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) than the other luxury brands, thus having the best luxury cars. Get out of such superficial videos!
@imdone1965 Switched from Mazda to Hyundai. Never buying another Mazda. My 23 Mazda CX-9 CE was a beautiful looking car and fun to drive, but there were so many electrical issues from day one.
For the poor people, the korea cars seem cheap and in a good CP value, but you have to pay more attention to the resale, considering your low salary.Cause the resale of korea cars are as poor as your salary 😂
Lauren, thank you for recognizing the essence of luxury that defines the Genesis experience.
Y’all need a black out package to get rid of all that ugly chrome
Agree strongly with the need for a blackout version (or at least optional for the coupe).
Is there a black version for the OLED screen for night?
They have already unveiled the Genesis G90 Black, so I highly doubt they wouldn't do that for their *current* biggest SUV.
This korea car will cost 70～80 grand? I would rather buy Lexus, Benz or bmw 😂

At this price point I am not sure there is much demand for fuel efficiency.

- Who decided to REMOVE the VISIBLE exhaust pipes in the rear?
- I'd offer a Blackout Package (this I'd pay a premium for, maybe a Prestige+ package)
@GenesisUSA LISTEN to your customers, we are not wrong.
Is it just me. The old design looks more classy than this new one
True
It’s just you
Think it may be you. Love both, but, really like the new grill and steering wheel.
i don't think the side low chrome trim is new
Does anyone fell the still is still far away for use while driving?
nope
These manufacturers are getting out of hand with these screens
Good job! Hyundai
crazy. 80k
It’s actually a good price for something this loaded, look at Volvo XC90 T8, $82k and you get a FWD 4 cylinder with plastic interior
I have a new idea for Genesis, Hyundai, and kia. I won't put it in the comments because every time I post my idea, it comes to pass
I was going to consider the Genesis until this year. They have decided to go with that god awful big screen tv in the front, and mounting on the dash instead of in the dash makes it even uglier. I went with the BMW instead, they seem to be one of the few car makers that understand that people can't be trusted to keep their eyes on the road when given the option to be distracted by shiny things.
Hyundai Kia hurting from the tick tock thefts. Insurance companies now charging a lot to get insurance on them. Wonder if it is effecting Genesis?
This is just a fancy Kia and the resale value is gonna suck!!
@@Latarian_HoodRat that's unfortunate because they were a good value at one time
No
@@Latarian_HoodRat Genesis has already surpassed all U.S. and Japanese car brands in terms of emotional and technical aspects. Perhaps, considering the price, you can directly compete with German luxury car brands and get satisfaction similar to Mercedes-Benz and Bmw. If you look at a few cheap Hyundai Kia cars and judge Genesis cars, it is nonsense. The person who delivers more than 8,000 cars a year from Germany, the U.S., Japan, Korea, France, and so on is being honest. Recently, Hyundai Kia Motors is more comfortable and less broken than Toyota, Honda and Nissan, and Genesis cannot be compared to American or Japanese brands except Mercedes Benz and BMW. If you are brainwashed into Toyota's durability myth and Audi's German brand image, try driving about 10 Genesis.
LAURA NICE LADY 🤩😌🤩😌❤❤❤❤EDUCATED CARS ❤❤❤❤❤
Hyundai Kia are light years ahead of BMW BENZ and AUDI
It is wrong is to call an oversized 4/5 door hatchback a coupe because they think it sounds cool.
All this tech just spells trouble. I wouldn't buy but lease only to stay in warranty.
The Lexus RX is what competes with the GV80. The GX doesn't really compete with the GV80 since it's off road focused 2-3 row SUV
No exhaust, ruins the look. Trying to make it look like an electric car. Sucks
genesis brand is much better than american junk( cadillac and lincoln)
Id go Mazda Cx-70 with the 3.3L inline 6 turbo.
It’s terrible compared to this one
Recycled newspaper at gold trim prices
For 80k l would buy a 2 yr old certified Mercedes GLS instead,...it is a nice car though,... but if they come out with a 500+ Hp version, l may be more interested
Good luck with that… never buy used cars it’s dumb
😅
too many electronic doodads, if they want you to live in the car, gonna need a fridge and garbage disposal. i work from home and don't drive much, only need a car to connect to my smartphone.
Yea... Everyone else is cooked.
You guys just destroyed the car without exhaust
Cool fedora …. lol
Fake exhaust I won’t buy it
This is like an infomercial.
Paid for or just stupid praise?
Yes, it looks nice, it has a lot of features for snowflakes etc.
But the most important thing for a good car is missing: the reliability, even though is slightly better than for the German luxury trio.
There is no comparison to Lexus, the most reliable auto brand, having also a 2 times smaller TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) than the other luxury brands, thus having the best luxury cars.
Get out of such superficial videos!
@@Godwasyourdog, some uninformed snowflakes confuse truth with hate. Sad.
May God bless you!
Floats like a boat. Not to German standards
Horrible
Will never buy another Hyundai ever again.
Then why are you here watching and commenting on this?
What did you switch to? Kia? 😂😂😂😂
@richardb.5691 I switched to Mazda .
@imdone1965 Switched from Mazda to Hyundai. Never buying another Mazda. My 23 Mazda CX-9 CE was a beautiful looking car and fun to drive, but there were so many electrical issues from day one.
@terravision-birdeyeexperie4489 sure...
Good luck with Hyundai..
Lmao
This korea car will cost 70～80 grand? I would rather buy Lexus, Benz or bmw 😂
For the poor people, the korea cars seem cheap and in a good CP value, but you have to pay more attention to the resale, considering your low salary.Cause the resale of korea cars are as poor as your salary 😂
I want this but plug in hybrid
