Great review as usual she hit it on the head. What you get for the money is a no brainer I now own a G90 5.0 AWD ultimate. One of the best decisions I’ve made I had several German vehicles this in no way a step down I had to check every option and spend a lot more for all the safety features Genesis comes with them all. Test drive one to see for yourself you won’t be disappointed.
We are in the exacty same.....have it on order.
The phat cat 90 with the Bent eight is the way to go! Great buy.
I'd still own a BMW though. But if this product line went full tilt with a V8TT with 600+ HP and TQ, then, it could become the epicenter of power and luxury (with more interior refinement). I know that it's a great car. I sold them for a while back in 2019. Whenever I closed the windows, I heard absolutely NOTHING. It was like sitting in a sound proof booth. The selection gear was too germaine for the Genesis brand. I left off selling cars and being a GM cos I was just some with the Auto sales biz. But the dealer who I had once worked for was at least reputable. And the Genesis Brand deserves a serious look in the Luxury car segment.
If I win the lottery tomorrow, I would buy this in a heartbeat
Same haha
My wife and I test drove this for a few weeks. This is a really smooth vehicle. I may leave the Benz family.
I think there will be some people cross shopping this vehicle and will certainly make the transition to Genesis
This is one beautiful SUV! I own a 2019 Genesis G70. Currently over 44K miles, and No problems.
I don't Baby, my Baby (Hee Hee!).
My wife and I are waiting for the Genesis Gv70 to be released, so that we can replace our 2006 Hyundai Tucson. It has been a very reliable/dependable vehicle for 14 years.
I enjoyed your review!
Thank you for the compliment and the sub to the channel. Genesis does make a pretty impressive product. Enjoy the drive!
She gives very good analysis of the vehicles. The rating system she used is excellent. I really like to hear her opinions because she is very knowledgeable.
Thank you much appreciated! 😊
@@CarCoachReports Does this SUV have a welcome chime?
Nice review.. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you. Yes but I believe you can shut it off.
This car is pure perfection. I'm debating between the G80 or the GV80, but I know a Genesis will be my next, and next next, and next next next car, etc. I love the Genesis reliability and head-turning beauty.
I get the feeling you're a wise man. Can't go wrong with the G80 and I'm with you....but I'm probably going with the GV80 given our east coast winters...
my next and LAST car I will own ! ! !
I’m sure this is an absolutely incredible vehicle. I bought my wife a 2020 Hyundai Palisade in July and it is absolutely astounding! The South Koreans are doing well!
Smart move - the Palisade is an impressive deal
I'd definitely get this over any of the competition
I'm getting this in Matte White . I'm switching from Lexus to Genesis . Years ago I switch from Mercedes-Benz to Lexus and people thought I was nuts . I'm sure the same will happen again . But I choose quality and reliability over loyalty
Very wise choice, and I love matte white. If you post a picture on Instagram tag me @LaurenFix
Holy smokes the GV80 is gonna look absolutely GORGEOUS with the matte white! Nice one buddy!
It's a great looking SUV.
Agreed
Very informative review. I love the color of this GV80, can’t wait to see it on the road!
You and me both!
Wow!! Thanks so much for the comprehensive and well organized review--this was great!!
Thank you so much! 😀
Excellent vehicle analysis. Waiting for the GV70, probably more in my price range.
rezin...Me too! I did test drive the GV80 though! I can dream, right!?
@@johnholst is the gv80 really that awesome??
Teasers of GV70 are around, I'm hoping in the spring. Bet there is a sports model too.
@@ebonix33 It really was. Not as sporty as the X5. But so comfortable and so luxurious in comparison.
@@CarCoachReports We expect to have it released here in the next couple of weeks. Very exciting.
Your review nailed it. I’ve been waiting for a car like this my whole life and my dream came true when I walked out of the dealership Thursday evening with my Cardiff Green 3.5L Prestige Package GV80. It’s everything you said and then some. I’m a bit overwhelmed by the technology & features. It’s like going to The Cheesecake Factory and fainting when reading the menu - the owners manual is well over 600 pages. I’ll be discovering new features probably for several months. This is luxury & comfort epitomized and while it’s sporty enough for a mid sized SUV. The sound system beats anything I’ve ever experienced in my life.
I’m in love.
Excellent video ...just waiting for my new GV80 to arrive and very excited about this vehicle and this video answered tons of questions I had. GREAT VIDEO
Thank you
Very thorough review...you really know your stuff. GREAT JOB
Amazing review! Great job. Thank you!!!
Thank you
I love this car so much I want it to be my mom's next car because it's the attainable version of a Bentley Bentayga & it looks stunning inside & out!
One of the designing engineers with Genesis was hired over from Rolls Royce/Bentley.
Amazing review!! Have a become a big fan of your so unbiased objective view points!
Your reviews are so amazing!!!
Glad you like them! Thank you!😀
You are among the best car reviewers. Keep up the good work.
Thank you 😀
Wow! This was the best review I’ve seen! Very informative and the video didn’t seem long at all.
Glad you liked it!
Really great job on the review....love the analysis and grading scale. Keep up the good work. Gained a new subscriber.
Welcome aboard! Thank you!
Nice review. I’m sold. This is beautiful
New viewer; 1 min into the video - Subscribed! Knowledge indeed is power!!
Thank you so much! It’s appreciated! 😊
Thanks for this one, been anticipating it... :-)
Hope you enjoy it!
I wish I had the budget! sigh haha! She made wanna get one!!! Great review and explanation.
Wait and buy a CPO
Thank you. Great review!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks
Terrific review BEST I have seen, THANKS
Thank you - much appreciated!
Im thinking about this and your video has me 99% convinced to buy it. I hope they are not backordered by the time I am ready to buy.....January/February. Keep up the great videos. VERY good job. Plus, I see you in other places...TV for example. You are a star in the making. Actually, in my eyes, you already are.
One of the best reviews I’ve ever seen. It’s very clear you did your homework. Not only will I be subscribing to your channel, I’ll also be visiting my local Genesis dealer to check out the GV 80. 🙂 Great job!
Thank you so very much! Let us know what you think once you take it for a test drive.
Great review as always.
Thanks
This review has video editing on par or better than anything else I've seen. Extremely impressed with your videos.
Thank you so kindly. 😊👍
Comprehensive, detailed review 👌
Thank you!
great review yt recomendation finaly works subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Your viewership deserves to be much higher, objectively. You're scary good. It may scare trolls.
Thank you very much. Feel free to share it with your friends and I appreciate the support and subscriptions.
@@CarCoachReports I tend to share with comments. My marketing career is behind me. 71. Random walk. I appreciate your value to me sincerely.
Nice review very well done.
Thank you
Great Review! Very thorough but not too long!
Thank you 😊
I bought one yesterday black out side in side it's really pretty new car 👍👍👍👍
Comments from Qatari man
Nice ride 👍
Very informative. Thanks.
😊
Thanks for a great detailed review! Waiting for the local Australian reviewers to get their hands on this vehicle.
Thank you. You will be impressed and you get the 3L Diesel engine we don’t.
Got a really valuable info
I am currently driving a 2015 Genesis sedan. It is the best car I have ever owned. The GV 80 is a no brainer. I have been looking at reviews for the past 10 months on the GV80 and you are the only one if you are in the states that has even driven one. Petrolhead (Charlie) has driven the diesel in Korea. You have a exceptionally well done review with the exception of the price you quoted $45,900, but all the dealers have it listed as $48,900 as you have in your descriptive information above. Do you have any idea when it will be available for test driving in the states? I am also waiting on the GV70 which I think will be more my size. Again excellent review.. you have new subi.. please keep us updated.
/
I would wait for GV70 if that fits your size. GV70 IMO looks much better, although GV80 is also nice
I will be posting a GV70 short video today, we have some details. It looks pretty cool.
300 miles into ownership of the 3.5 Prestige...there may be things I regret in life, purchasing this SUV will NOT be one of them. This video is so right on the value proposition. In general, I agree with everything said here. There is a learning curve on the infotainment. But now I love that ipod-like controller! The review unfavorites the bombay opening to the console. I argue it's as brilliant as any German engineering I've ever seen. When either the driver or passenger rests their arm on it, you can still open it. You never have to ask, "Can you lift your arm, please?"
It's sexy, sensual, & smart in ways I've never encountered. Ten ✨
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Really good review.
Thank you
Thank you for a comprehensive review focusing on what end customers really care about. The reliability issues with Range Rovers will probably send customers towards the Gv80 and ofcourse the value component will help.
Just one advice, do show the room in the 3rd row in future videos if possible.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you! They didn’t have any 3 rows at our test event. I’m supposed to get one sent to me and I’ll post that when it arrives.
Very impressive review as always Lauren! Very nice looking vehicle for the price range! Could replace my Durango :-) For a 1st generation product there's not much wrong!
Good choice! This is really a great value and longer warranty too.
Hey there! Any idea when it will be arriving in the Middle East? And which all trim levels?
Great review, Lauren! 2 quick questions: 1. Do you know whether any of the GV80 trim levels will include "Adaptive Cornering" for the front LED headlights, as is offered in the G70 & G80? That hasn't been mentioned anywhere. 2. You showed a clip of remote parallel parking (not just straight in or out). Are you able to state with certainty whether or not that feature will be available in the USA?? Many thanks!
I can't wait to take one for a test drive!!
Very impressive, let us know what you think?
I love german cars, but you really changed my mind. Tnx
At least take it for a test drive.
@@CarCoachReports not yet arrived to Oman. I will do when its available.
I am considering this. Wow. Still wanna see in person, but I held off on a purchase specifically because of this beast.
Smart move, you hve to drive it to appreciate the features, there is just so much more in person.
Very thorough review. It many of the FAQ points. Well done. Just wished you covered more about the message technology. What type of massager? Rollers or vibration? I would expect that it would be rollers.
Both
Could the early shift points be because they need to fit all eight speeds in?
I had a two speed Ford-O-Matic in one of my early cars. I paid $1 dollar for it so I'm not complaining.
But 8, 10 speed automatics blow my mind.
I love this suv
Nice video Ha I am old School, how about a CD player 🤔
Great video! Only wish we had seen the front and side of the last, red GV80 in the video, that color looks amazing too!
That is factory footage, sadly they did not have anything else than what you see. I would suggest going to the Genesis website I’m sure there is a configurator there. You can change the colors and see all corners.
@@CarCoachReports Ah, but I don't get to see you standing next to it! 😉
😁
Knowledge is power
I could see myself accidentally clicking park while attempting to click something on the screen 😂 Amazing vehicle, though!
😁
Subscribed 👍
Thank you
I have been researching on this ride, so I have watched a few video reviews. This is the very best I have seen. What a fantastic in-depth job in 21 minutes.
Recently bought a 2021 Hyundai Calligraphy (my 1st Korean car after a move from a BMW 5 series Gt). Its a fantastic ride. Family needs a 2nd ride, I am very likely to go for this. My deal breaker in cars are value, premium interior and safety features, not necessarily a sport performance.
Another great review Lauren. In your opinion, would you spend a
The extra $6k for the prestige pkg over tech pkg?
Yes the extras are worth it
How did you come up with the 96 total score? I added up the different category scores and got a 94. Which would you choose between the G80 and the GV80? Thanks. BTW, really helpful, great videos.
Which trim is this one? V6 or v4?
Truly enjoy your reviews! One constructive criticism, please move your Car Coach Reports badge to the upper right corner so we can see the notes you add . 😉 Looking to buy either the GV70 and GV80 next year. I'll look forward to seeing a GV70 review from you in the near future (hint! hint!)!
I passed your suggestion on to the editor. Thanks! Wait till you drive the GV70, I’m super impressed! Just finished driving it, will post the review as soon as I can. The GV80 is more luxury and optional 3rd row if you need it. Personally, I’d own a GV70 Sport with the 3.5L engine in a second
@@CarCoachReports I'm thrilled to hear that as I really value your opinion!!! I actually take notes while watching your reviews and include all the scores. I haven't seen either in person (live in a small town and no one has one!) but I can't wait!!! Thank you SO much for replying! Can't (CANNOT!) wait to see the GV70 Review!!!!! 🎯
The GV70 is just coming in to dealers this month. Its worth the test drive with both engines. Thank you!
@@CarCoachReports Will DO! Thank you again!🌟
wow I'd need a class just to understand and use all of the features....its packed with goodies. Is this the mid- trim level you are driving? Also how will this RWD operate in the snow? Is there a snow feature in the RWD?
I suggest all wheel drive if you’re going to be driving in the snow.RWD would require snow tires
Thank you for such a thorough review. Agree about the cup holders-kind of a deal killer for Audi. How would you line GV80 up with the Q7, GLS or GLE, and X7? Looked at them all, but not in love with any of them. Looking for spacious SUV but don't want to drive a bus either.
Take a look at the Lincoln Aviator, certainly not a boat but very advanced in technology and design. The BMW X7 has a very tight third row as does the Q7. The Mercedes GLS has more legroom for the third row but if the third row is not critical, The Q7 and Mercedes-Benz have the best navigation systems. The Germans don’t understand that we all have large bottles of water and a coffee. Lincoln and Cadillac are doing a great job with that.
Great review, love the water bottle test. Wish the car swapped out the old USB-A ports with USB-C. Looking to swap my 2020 Redline Traverse for the 3 row GV80.
You will be very happy if you buy the new GV80. Thanks on the water bottle rating, it frustrating that they assume everyone want tiny cup holders. And yes, USB-C is becoming the standard these days.
What will be the price in india.
Great review as always. I am excited to check out the GV80. Curious to know what happened at 5:41 when safety system started beeping. Can you share what happened there?
Oh, the car in front of me was lost and it the brakes. The emergency intervention, synced the belt and braked heavily to avoid a collision, it reacted very quickly. Surprise! 😁
@@CarCoachReports actually the way the seatbelt seemed to compress your LH upper chest area bothered me as just 3 mo. ago I had a Pacemaker installed and have anti clotting meds for AFib so such a jar could be problematic.
That’s a good point. I never thought about that. I guess you can adjust the seat belt in a different area, there are adjustable height seatbelts
Hello madam. I just saw videoclip you show GV 80 It is very very nice vehicle. If in the future .I have money buy one ok? What you think good to buy it.? Thank you very much. For showing videoclip. Thank you again.
You are welcome. This is an impressive suv and great value.
Nice review Lauren! Very thorough. I test drove this a few months ago (diesel model) and just loved it! It's at least as good, more reliable, and much better value than it's competition. Home run for Genesis.
I so wish we had diesel in the US, you are so lucky. Great SUV for sure!
Really leaning on getting one of these in the Prestige package. However the dealer told us that the Prestige trim doesn't come with the 3rd row. Is this true?
Yes, only the Advanced+ has a 3rd row.
Thanks for the great review. On the fence between this and the new MDX. Which would you choose, Lauren?
Tough call as we have not reviewed the new MDX yet. As of today, the GV80 is pretty impressive!
Hi Malaika224! While the upcoming MDX is certainly a big improvement over the current one, I can tell you this Genesis is superior solely on the fact that it is based on a Rear-Wheel Drive architecture vs the MDX which uses a modified Front-Wheel Drive platform straight from the Honda Accord. RWD offers better handling characteristics, near-even weight distribution, and compliant ride quality vs anything FWD.
Also, this Genesis (All Genesis models + the Kia Stinger and K900) are being built at Hyundai's Ulsan Factory in South Korea, which has much stricter quality control standards vs the Honda/Acura mfr facilities here in the USA, Mexico and Canada (Honda/Acura no longer manufacture vehicles in Japan. The Acura RL/RLX Sedan was the only exception, and it's been long discontinued!). This fully loaded Genesis will probably ring at $5-$7K more than a fully loaded 2021 MDX, but the GV80's superior powertrain, architecture, technology, design, and build quality warrants it!
Great review as always, Lauren! Can't wait for the smaller GV70 to be released.
Thank you very much for the compliment. They just revealed the GV 70 online. Trying to get some video footage just found five photos.
The only thing that will hold them back on sales is the lack of dealerships to carry the brand!
Very true, they are working on that now.
Does this vehicle have folding sideview mirrors? Apologies if I missed it in the video. Know the Pallisade does not have this in the USA.
Yes, it has power-folding outside mirrors, and puddle lamps.
Great review. I wanted to see this and decided not to wait so, I bought a 2021 G70 3.3. (Which I love) I traded a 2017 Macan GTS (which I also loved). I may be trading it in though if this ever shows up at dealerships.....
Curious if Genesis is offering a factory trailer hitch option.
I could not find a Genesis factory trailer hitch option, I believe there is a class III vehicle but it’s covered up. You would still need to add trailer brakes. I’m a huge fan of the Porsche Macan, but you will be thrilled with the GV80. I am sure your insurance cost will be much less as well.
@@CarCoachReports It's funny you bring up insurance. Going from my $85,000 2017 Macan GTS to a 2021 G70 my insurance actually doubled. I have no idea why. The Macan has actually got an amazing safety rating. I'm going to call a couple other ins companies to get quotes. They say the GV80 will tow 6000lbs. But you need a hitch...lol
Is it available in the UK? I have only seen a few second hand G80 on Autotrader. £15000ish for a 2015/16 30-4000 on the clock. They have just become available in my price range.
I’m sure GV80 will come to the UK.
nice
Wow, Great!
When will it be available?
In dealers November 2020
Thanks!
If you swiped your foot to open the tailgate, you wasted motion. Just stand there. There's no foot sensor. It detects the fob. No need for spastic foot motions.
🤣
Very In depth review they should of hid the rear wiper under the rear spoiler imo/ also rear view mirror camera should be standard on lower trim
I agree - would make it look cleaners
@@CarCoachReports yes Aviator has done it but I am not sure which of them is longer as while I have seen the Aviator, Covid messed up test driving and both have great features. I am awaiting being able to see the actual vehicle which is not available yet in Canada. Also looking forward to the Hyundai Tucson which has hidden the wiper. There is a lot to love about the HT also but not comparable totally to the Genesis but there should be a real $ difference to obtain what so far looks like a premium vehicle.
Is the electric slip differential standard on all package levels?
An electronic limited-slip differential is available on 3.5T models as well, handy for off-pavement excursions and extreme weather conditions.
SOLD!
Is the final rating the sum of all the ten categories? Because if it is, my arithmetic was 94, not 96, which is exactly the same as the rating as the new G80, except the G80 got 10 on seating while the GV80 got a 9, while the GV80 got a ten on technology while the G80 got a 9...
The Car Coach Rwports logo in the bottom left corner is blocking some of the informational text about the car so maybe that should be removed from this video & future videos so it doesn't block the information from Genesis
I’ll do that thanks
OK my car GV80!!
Fantastic review, been waiting for this full assessment and detailed breakdown of "real-world" features. I purchased a 2020 Ford Explorer ST late in 2019. I had to return the car to Ford, it was declared a Lemon by Ford in accordance with my state's law. The transmission failed at under 3K miles not to mention tons of other quality related issues. I have been in the market for a more luxury version of a third row SUV, e.g. Audi Q7, Lincoln Aviator, Volvo XC-90. This car captures all of the exceptional features from those other brands and puts them all into one package and at a slightly lower price. The only missing options would be Plug In Hybrid power option. If they could incorporate a plug in hybrid power option, I think this would kill all of the competition. Thanks for the great work. I am looking forward to seeing the GV80 in the Washington D.C. area soon.
PHEV coming but no dates yet.
Genesis is avoiding the plug-in hybrid tech by going fully electric. There's spy shots of Genesis eG80 being tested in Europe.
I think they did a awesome job on this, and you did an awesome job on all your reviews. This is how you TARGET the Germans!!!!
Thank you for the compliment and the sub. German vehicles have changed quite a bit over the years and I think this is a great opening for Genesis to come in with the GV80. I do think they need a performance version that really is powerful and handles
“Car Coach Reports” logo in lower left screen blocks the Genesis sub-script information!
Sorry about that. The editor missed that
Extremely informative review Lauren.The Hyundai Motor Group is on quite the roll. Very impressed with the improvements made from
model to model. If Genesis improves the dealer network in the USA and Canada, they might have a chance.
I agree. Thank you for the compliment 😊
Coach got all the fun colors! I can barely find the fun colors here with a none Black interior. I don't know what's up with U.S. car dealers and their love of 50 shades of gray vehicles they keep stocking. I want that Cardiff Green w/Smoky Green int. in the 3 row. Can't find it in the U.S.
I bought one this week incredible car no more BMW for me .. everything you said is true …..
Any voice commands?
Yes, voice commands are on a button on the steering wheel. They work pretty good too
You say 45.900$ on dealers website and he Genisis is 48.900$ .. great explanation by the way.
Thanks. Got the numbers from Genesis.
@@CarCoachReports hmmmm...its true on many dealer websites $48.900.
How do i find the nearest dealer near me.
www.genesis.com/us/en/genesis.html
Great review. One clarification: Apple released CarKey quite a while back and many BMWs already support it. It uses the same hardware technology (NFC) that the GV80 uses for Android phones so I don’t understand why they left this out for iPhones. I’d love to have this available for use with my GV80.
Thanks for the information, you’re are correct. I’m sure there will be more upgrades as time goes by for the GV 80. They just can’t build them fast enough
Does it have a locking rear diff?
electronic limited-slip differential
Put your logo at the top right of the screen so it won't block the other text info you put on the screen.
