2024 Genesis G80.. Still Top Tier? 

No, and never was. I had nothing but problems with mine and then having to deal with "service" - you understand why the reputation is so bad. Absolutely disgusting service and no help from Genesis NA. Had to change the differential in less then 10k of normal driving. Wind noise appearing from different panels. And you're dealing with a Hyundai barn level personnel... Don't fall for good press and design, the reality of ownership is completely opposite. This company doesn't deserve a cent of your money, nor a second of your time.

Great detailed informative review Kevin. I bought my 2016 Hyundai Genesis Luxury 3.8 AWD (was $51000 new) @ 1 1/2 years old from local Hyundai dealer in 2018 for $31000 with 10000 Kilometers ( I'm in Canada). Basically been trouble free for almost 6 years but as I have 5 cars it only just turned 53000 kilometers (32800 miles) today. Love the drive, quietness, power, comfort. Fuel economy on the highway is decent @ 28 MPG on regular .The dealers are sketchy but most other brands today are too. I'm keeping an eye out for a current generation 2021 or newer 3.5 G80 Sport with low KMs. When they get below $50000 I will pull the trigger. Didn't mention that I'm a 31 year veteran Mercedes/Porsche Sales/Sale Manager retired 12 years ago. Now @ 77 I will NEVER buy another European luxury car .Believe me Mercedes dealers are experts @ relieving you of lots of $$ @ service times. I always drove S Class Mercs for 20 years but a G80 gives you 80% of an S Class driving experience for 30% of the $$ if you buy 1-2 years old. I find I can't get past the ugliness of Japanese cars & the "transportation device" personality of Lexus/Toyota .Genesis certainly are not perfect but I love the styling & comfort. I'll stick with them unless reliability goes downhill in the future.

I like this young Luxury Brand but the only thing i miss, are performance Cars with over 500 HP from Genesis, the American and European Luxury Brands offers performance or big Luxury Comfort Cars with over 500 or 600 HP to the buyers. I think it would help Genesis to make a step up to a higher Class. Thanks Kevin.

This is the top Genesis that we get here as we don't get the G90 it comes in two flavours the Luxury or Luxury Sport and for the Luxury it's $125,000Au for the V6, so compared to your pricing Kevin, we aren't being screwed that hard on them, if at all.

Hey this is a two part question: I have a relative who works for Hyundai corporate which essentially can get about a 14k off MSRP price on Genesis cars (68k car for 54k ish). Would you recommend going G70 or G80? Also with this discount would you suggest leasing or financing to own?

Good review. Just traded my 2023 G80 2.5 Sport Prestige eight months old with 22k on it…yeh it’s a work car for an Acura 2024 MDX Advance because I need to go back to a three row suv for hauling work stuff occasionally. Really going to miss my G80 best, for me, car I’ve had (and I go through them fast) combination of sport, luxury and mileage 32mpg routinely. It was bullet proof just like my 2022 GV70 3.5 Advanced I traded with 31k on it for the G80. Huge Genesis believer until I test drove the MDX ten minutes before the GV80 and wondering wtf happened to the seats! The comfort of the MDX blew away my heart breaking desire for the GV80 silver and beige that was SO good looking inside and out…but just a brick for seats 😢

I hate how they killed the prestige trim after 2022 and replaced it with gloss plastic instead of wood and that sport steering wheel! Almost like the gv80 is the better buy now.

👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I don’t see Lexus depreciating that much.

I love the exterior and interior design of the G80, but some of these ownership accounts are definitely a huge deterrent. Despite having goodluck in 70K miles so far in the wife's Palisade.

Yo bro good evening 🫡🤝😎👍🏾👍🏾

The Euro competitors have been served. Long time overdue, they’ve been overpriced, over engineered & too expensive to maintain. When they’re new & tight, they can be butter, but that newness is short lived. So if you’re built with loot, have at it. But the common consumer wants affordable, realistic reliability at a value. I’m an owner of a 2023 Kia Sportage, definitely a different level lower than Genesis, but same family and similarities are shared. Great good 👍🏾 Genesis and Kia.

for the price get an E class. no sense paying mercedes prices to get an imitation.

G80 was NEVER top tier. I cant count the amount of discussions Ive had with people defending Hyundai and Kia. People can defend it all they want. If you ended up with a good one but 1 million other people have a bad quality one, good for you, its still junk to most other people!
