I think this is the first time Doug Demuro has gotten his hands on a car before you guys (other than the new Sonata)
I gotta keep making UA-cam videos like y’all and working hard on UA-cam 💪
Are continental tires just winter tires?
Is cliché corner the same corner all the time ?
10hours ago comment and the video 55minutes ago..
Genesis's Design identity is fascinating
Um, no it's not.
thats all
@@bigmacdaddy1234 um, yes it is
ahhhhhh.....
Bentley?
Yeah, the entire design Identity revolves around The Infinity crest. The Headlights are the Wings, the grille is the badge so yeah
I can’t take my eyes off this car it’s soo beautiful
it’s a bentley fastback with sharper lines they took the bentley design and made it more aggressive
@@REfanforlife actually the Bentley designer joined Hyundai do some research....
@@REfanforlife blame the Bentley designer
The front grill is missing a big superman 'S' on it.
This over sized grille thing..it's like everything these days. Unexplained to is commoners but everyone in the elite circles somehow "knows" that ridiculous grilles are what is now being done. I understand copying, but this is wholly unique and also ridiculous as BMW and Merc. Only Audi has done this well, if boring.
Lmao
Good one...😂😂
Superman: nah
This is like the nerdy weird kid showing up at a high school reunion rich and hot. Hyundai has come such a long way.
Haha this is so true
You summed it up perfectly
kia hyundai is JUNK
@@dwadd7528 I guess you're mad they passed honda and Mercedes in the Jd power awards cry some more please
@@dwadd7528 lol they won awards while you can’t afford a car half
It’s price 😭 here you go don’t cry 🍼👶
I think Genesis did a great job giving this car its own unique identity. The last G80 was a great car but a bit generic in my opinion. This looks fantastic.
A bit generic ? Lol like how give me a example ?
@@mikexcanxjerk I mean if you were to say "draw me a sedan" it would probably look like the old G80. I'm not saying it's bad looking, I actually think it looks good and will age very well. it just doesn't have any standout design features. This redesign changes all of that, inside and out.
@@autocrosseverything the 2015// 2017-2020 g80 is a very attractive car, especially the 2018-2020 g80 sport. It does turn heads. The g80 is better looking than the lexus es350 , better looking than acura , better looking than the q50, up there with e300 based on attractiveness. I dont see any generic, you like recycled bmw exteriors ? They all look the same evey year with subtle differences reallly. Yes the new 2021 stands out a lot but the last gen is indeed beautiful and as you said will aged very well
@@mikexcanxjerk I will agree in the sport trim it was a head turner. Especially in that turquoise blue and the maroon color they offered. The regular sedan just kind of flew under the radar.
@@autocrosseverything the sport and the regular version of the g80 is beautiful regardless. As for the regular version , it’s beautiful inside and out, it does not fly under the radar , it has road presence, no way can that car drive by and you wont admire it even just a little , or look at it twice, its not an ugly car whatsoever, whoever says so it a straight up strong hater. You can drive the g80 in rich areas , and it blend very well with the bmws , mercedes , lexus, etccc. Its a true goodlooking luxury car. In terms of attractiveness , its on par. 2017-2020 & this new one.
This is currently one of my favorites. Genesis does the design right and don't rely on all of that touch crap. Premium materials for the price is nice and the looks are gorgeous in and out.
Facts
Own both a 2013 Hyundai Elantra, and 2013 Mercedes C-Class.... Hyundai has literally zero issues, Mercedes dozens of issues so far. The Hyundai's exterior is still in new condition, and Mercedes weather seals have gone bad in certain areas. LOVE GENESIS!
*This G80 is so sexy! The koreans are killing the game with luxury cars* 😀
@Munshat Rahman hahahaha🤣
@Munshat Rahman North Korean produces Japanese Cars lol
Until it breaks
Kia Stinger and The Genesis G80 are the best Korean Cars in my opinion
@@maulayasyauqimirza3282 kia picanto is the best A segment too
Genesis REALLY succeeded in establishing a clear family look in potential buyers' minds. And they did it with just a few cars that all came out in the space of a year. No small feat.
Truth.
Lmao Jakub's "Shining" at @14:17 . Scared the crap outta me
Here’s Jakub!
Watching Hyundai’s companies grow and evolve has been awesome over the years.
Agree they came such a long way
Not only cars but every South Korean company is killing it!!! Like Samsung has already beat Apple several times now Samsung is going to destroy Snapdragon with it's upcoming exynos line up.. like literally south Korean companies are on another level.. like Samsung and lg are going to roll out 6G and by that I mean network not phone... Again it will become first in the world line 5G and currently has fastest 5G network... Samsung built many world's tallest building including Burj khalifa Taipei tower etc and now it is making tallest building in it's own country THE HYUNDAI TOWER...Now Hyundai revealed world's first hydrogen fuel cell car and truck and upcoming futuristic hybrid electric car named IONIQ check it out on YT..Like name it all entertainment industry modern technologies beautiful nature and everything respect to SOUTH KOREA !!!
@@Neelimachoubey We get it you live in South Korea and you are patriotic.
@@yourvault1612 no I don't lol
That intro shot makes me think no car has any business looking that good
all I know is the 2019 G80 I drove I think about it all the time and regret not buying it.. one of the most solid cars I have ever driven..
What did you get instead?
@@onlinealias622 I kept my infiniti up until a couple months ago, bought a mercedes E53, Im happy, and it gets unbelieveable fuel mileage.
that suspension comparison between the 2 cars was a great move, always liked your attention to detail and you just took it a step further
It is currently 5:04 in the morning where I am and yep I’m watching the straight pipes
I’m in California and it is now 6:32am
I'm in the arctic circle and it's the whole time
Holy shit that thing is gorgeous, especially looking at the price tag.
Yessir and these things depreciate like rocks. Can’t wait to buy a GV80 in two years for 22k!
Love the widescreen infotainment display and everything about the car!
Man I really love what Genesis and basically all the Korean car manufacturers have been doing. Putting out some great cars recently.
What other Korean car manufacturers are you referring to? It's all Hyundai.
@@Michael-xv9ku well yeah but all of Hyundai ig
@@Michael-xv9ku sangyoung?
Fun fact: Horsepower and torque spelled backwards is euqrot dna rewopesroh which means absolutely nothing!
Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!
I could see a scientist discovering a material which is extremely similar to water in every single way and naming it "Rewopesroh".
That was Fn funny 😂, thanks for the morning laugh
Thanks, Aidem Ver!
I just cast a spell
Hyundai made Genesis in just 5 years. Mind blowing, great quality, great design, great features. And a bargain. Probably not for long 'cause in few years they'll end up in German-Japanese price range, but for now - I'd take it.
Genesis has been around since 2008.
I'll say it again Genesis has the best infotainment interface in the market, the minimalist interface of Genesis's infotainment is just out of this world🤯
I am debating between the two, so glad I found your video! Thanks boys!
This looks so good in blue, think I've decided on my next car!
By far the most beautiful and aesthetically pleasing new car of 2021
This looks like the kind of car I'm looking for. A nice comfortable touring car more focused on a smooth quiet ride and not doing laps of Mosport. Still can't afford it though.
so basically this is like what Lexus used to be before they lost their way. this really could be my next lease
@@joec.5009 I'm not a huge sedan guy but I admit that Genesis knows how to make sedans. Love the look of the new G80, looks amazing.
The new Genesis range looks absolutely fantastic. Job very well done.
This one had me cracking up. You guys were in rare form!
They really went all in. Love them
I'm still in love with my 2016 G80 (okay, Genesis 3.8) and cannot tell you how awesome it is to drive. Although I also love the GV80 I cannot fathom trading in the drive experience for an SUV. No way. I do agree that it would be a toss up between a new G70 (coming) and the G80, but I'm not going to underestimate the luxury drive feel I'm now accustomed to.
I love the new design of the genesis vehicles it looks very striking and executive. It stands out a lot can really separate them from the competition. They should keep this new design and make it a signature look, like how caddilac and BMW has done
I'm so early that there's no "iT's JusT a HYunDai" comment; yet.
It's okay, Lexus was just a Toyota twenty years ago
I think the straight pipe community doesn’t do that. Other videos still have it.
whats the difference?
@@asfdafasdfwfrg found it.
@@DigitalYojimbo HAHAHAHHAHA DEFINITELY. RIGHT ON THE SPOT.
Jacob doing his best imitation of Jack Torrance in The Shining at the ski pass scene 😂 The Shining 2
This is the first car I've seen that actually looks futuristic. Nice
Yuri, Jakub, you hands down are the best edited automotive program in the history of the genre. Being able to pause and < > though the frames to really compare/contrast the two styles and even where that Audi shot was amazingly spot on? C'mon. The car companies themselves don't do it that well. Ironically the most thoughtful and luxurious automotive experience isn't an automobile, it's The Straight Pipes. Well done guys! Both of these are on my radar -- while I think I'd probably be able to get a much better deal on a G-80, I do like the GV-80 better.
I'm shopping for a luxury sedan, and waited eagerly for the G80 review. Thanks gentlemen, well done.
I want a sedan instead of an SUV for a sedan's superior smoothness, handling, performance, silence, braking, mpg, etc.
To answer Yuri and Jacob's question, based on the reviews and a drive of the G90, I'm leaning towards the G90--for its greater size and luxury. The G90's more ergonomic infotainment knob make up for the G80's nicer gauges and self-parking.
I'm attracted by Genesis' luxury, value, and reliability. Quite appealing to value-conscious buyers like me. Thanks again for another fun and informative review.
This is a very good alternative to the premium brands. The quality, the functionality and the design are quite remarkable for the price. If you could do the direct rival the Lexus LS it would be awesome. Nice and honest content
I am really impressed by this brand. These cars are really looking great.
Hopefully, they will come to Europe soon at a reasonable price.
Can’t wait for the new genesis g70 and Hyundai Elantra N review. Keep up the great work!!
Slick intro and edit with that beat!
God I've been waiting for this for so long
I love all of Genesis' sedans, but probably this one most of all. The fastback really does it for me.
Just purchased the G80 3.5 RWD. Love it. Excellent value and beautiful. Beats the competition in those areas. Love the GV80 but wanted a sedan for a while.
OMG Y’all Never Disappoint‼️💪🏽
Seriously though. This looks beautiful. I look at modern cars and ask "What happened?". Like the cars of the 50's and 60's were all just gorgeous. (It's rhetorical. I know what happened. Laws and such changed). But this is one of the few cars that look modern but rooted in that art deco look. Like this car could exist in a futuristic, art deco punk - ish universe and it would not feel out of place.
Jacob and yuri's tone changes from shouting to calming, just luke the cars are. See their lambo huracan video and then this😂
Great fun review guys!
Good way to brighten up my Monday! Lol
The whole Genesis line up is really coming together.
I've read that the G80 and G90 models are face lifts and there will be full redesigns in a couple of years? Is this true?
U guys rock!
Every Genesis review from the Straight Pipes is a like an early Xmas gift. So far, I'm all in on the GV80 but I'm waiting for pricing and what features I lose on the GV70 to pull the trigger.
It's all about Highway Driving Assist II
I love all the new Genesis models! My next vehicle will be the GV70 sport when it comes to the US this spring.
You have excellent taste... I was contemplating that too...until this GV80 was revealed...
this design is absolutely stunning. Maybe the best on the market
you need to see Bentley .
@@kuyre2239 This also doesn't cost $200,000.
@@jplew138 and its called IP theft.
Actually, no. This looks nothing like a Bentley. And, Genesis' head designer came from...Bentley.
@@jplew138 "This looks nothing like a Bentley. "
a LIE
That’s a BOSS car 🔥. From the Superman grill to the beautiful interior.
Love the side turn signals 😍
the Genesis design is so cool❤️
In Korea, it's basically a smaller more modern version of the G90... Heated and ventilated [ power adjusting and with memory function ] front and rear seats...
In fact, the G80 has a sort of massage function more like anti-fatigue system...
In Korea, the G80 sells more because it offers more for less
But in N.America, the top end Prestige model they offer is actually the mid-level trim in Asia
Aren't they used more like limousines / car service in Korea? It's not the same target market for North America.
@@MrKevinWhite No... It's there but executives buy them more
Stingy Executives or people who are only middle-class managers but want to show off..
Kia and Hyundai cars in Korea always have way more options. I own a 2009 first gen Hyundai Tucson MXL that I bought from a cousin who lived in Korea a coupe of years and that thing has options that were never available in North America or Europe.
Got a 2016 genesis/g80 few months back, its an amazing car for the price I got it at. Few issues from the previous owner(s) that the dealership isn't too helping on, but still extremely impressed.
I quite like the more subtle colors. I feel like it's a testament to how amazing the body design is when it can still look amazing in a ho-hum color. That being said, I want to see someone do a bare-aluminum style art deco 'livery' for this thing.. That would look sooooo good. EDIT: Also lets the interior pop. Gives you a good feeling stepping into an interior like this after being 'greeted' by low expectations.
For anyone wondering the into song is: Midnight Fever by LeDorean
holy moly damn good looking
That interior is stunning!
Genesis made one of the most beautiful (if not the most beautiful) line-ups of this decade! The Genesis family is looking G O R G E O U S! The G70 and GV70 are beautiful; G80 is perfect for my taste; GV80 is freaking amazing, and the G90 just feeds your eyes. I am just waiting for the GV90 - imagine that beast!
Beautiful design from genesis ✨
Genesis is killing it 🔥🔥
Loved the music at the start of this one
With the Mazda 3 and now Genesis, you guys are reviewing the exact cars iv been looking at!!! Is Google selling you my data 🤔😂
For this car I don't care about it automatically shifting or how much torque it has. It's a luxury tourer in my opinion. It's a serene long road tripping commuter ride. Ans I am fine with that because then you can enjoy the luxurious interior.
In that case the 2.5T that produces 304 horsepower power will suffice.
Beautiful sedan. Love the exterior lines and interior design. Beautiful interior colors.
YEAAAAA THEY DID IT AGAIN AT THE BEGINNING, GOTTA LOVE IT!!!
Great Video… Thanks for sharing!
Too bad the big auto show near me was cancelled this year. I would've loved to get in to one of these and test it out.
I knew this review was coming
Waiting for this review since they did the virtual review several months prior
I love u guysssssssss, i am following u since u have 100k subs
Its crazy to see how far they have came
Handsome sedan. I’d love to see more Genesises(?), Mazdas and Alphas on the road. It’s generic crossover land near me.
This healed my eyes after seeing the new m3 and m4.
Siarhei Stashkevich it’s smaller but looks way off on an sedan of those proportions
You would quickly forget how those cars look while driving.
The music is great, the car is greater!
In Korea, Genesis G80 is the best selling car/segment among luxury-brand market.
Order of sales : G80 > E-Class > 5series > A6 > ES ... Basically a Korean version of Mercedes Benz.
Still satisfying to hear that outro after all this time 😌

@@scottruhl4710 I still miss that part.
Jakub always looking like Beaker when doing the launches. Haha
OMG HE DOES LOOK LIKE BEAKER!
But Jurri doesn't look like Dr Honeydew lol
Genesis vehicles in general provide very attractive packages. I’d love to own one of new G family.
I would take this over the BMW 5 series, Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6 and I'm an admitted brand snob. Styling, quality, tech and WARRANTY are the biggest selling points of this Genny. Still, it's probably the GV80 for me... that is the sexiest vehicle on the road at a somewhat attainable price imo... The GV80 is going to be TOUGH to find when it arrives.. Awesome vid gents, as usual. Loved the spice in this one...
I'd take this over the 5 series or even the E-class
I won’t 5 series looks better
@@yes8032 the Genesis has a very unique presence on the street, unlike the bmw
I love this car. It's one of few vehicles that I would consider that isn't electric. If they made this in EV or at least 90km range phev I'd be so sold!
This is a damn nice look sedan and for that price, I would totally consider it!
Having just moved back from Korea, and seeing the test mule running around Asan-ri, the inspiration of the rear hatch/ trunk design came from the Chevy Malibu. For some reason Koreans love that car.
14:15 "Heeeere's Johnny!" LOL
I always have fun trying to guess the horsepower of the car by the expressions on Jakob's face during the launch.
I love that dummy hand in the sliding sunroof like « sorry guys, wait, just a minute to park this, it won’t take long »
man, the looks on this car
This honestly my dream car better than all thos lux brands
Bentley flying spur?? Mercedes e class?
@@yes8032 id still get this Bentley is priced too high with less features and Benz is unreliable and the new e class is less elegant
@@gaganbot3606 e class is actually not unreliable and if you take the pre facelift it looks better and for the Bentley however it’s expensive but more luxurious
I don’t think I’d use 70% of the fancy tech. That stuff isn’t for me and a waste of money. I just want a good drivers car which I got a week ago now!
That grill is sweet and damn that interior!!
Love your videos guys
I like the intro music and setup
that LED double line from the headlights to the taillights is absolutely mesmerizing.
Would take G80 over E class, 5 series, A6 and Continental.
But rather take GV80.
That back end at 6:00 looks so good
Geez talk about luxury. I bet it looks killer in person I can’t wait to see it on the road.
I love the looks. Would I replace my 2015 V8 with it? I dunno...
I’d rather have one of those than a German car, they’ve come so far
One ting they haven’t come far with reliability
The germans arent reliable either sooo i guess it doesnt matter 🤷🏻♂️
But its ugly...
@@harrymoon8154 it's no Toyota or Honda but Korean cars are still way more reliable than German cars though.
@@qweebey that's your opinion
The fact that they only have one suv is 🙏🏻. I’ve been seeing the G70 everywhere. Hopefully this convinces other brands to stop making suvs and make proper saloon cars and wagons. ☺️ I also appreciate their doing old school luxury cars here. Luxury first, sport second.👍🏻
Amazing design. I hope the reliability matches the looks.
