I took one for a ride, while getting an oil change. Just WOWWW. So impressive. Amazing finish and ride. This car puts the germens on the spot. I even liked the GV70 even more.
From Australia….. I have a GV80 six seater top of the range model here. Just done 20k service …. Never a problem & beats my previous Mercs & BMS’s …. Cannot praise it enough / just a gem of a car to drive. Only downside for me is the low profile tyres that are not good on rough roads. Everyone loves the rear bucket seats …. It’s an impressive car all round. Just love the V6 turbo as goes like a bullet Would I buy another / absolutely !!
Beautiful automobile. I was at the dealer ready to sign the lease for a 2024 GV80. I noticed a noise and vibration coming from the rear end. The dealer agreed and we made an appointment for the following day to complete the lease. I decided to check out what owners were experiencing on an owners forum, not a forum sponsored by Genesis. I canceled the order. I highly recommend that anyone thinking about leasing/buying this car, log on to an owners forum.
I have 2 friends that enjoy there Genesis G80 and GV80 but are not happy with the Hyundai dealerships, one is moving back to Lexus and the other back to Mercedes. I love the way these Genesis look and perform but I think the dealership network is really hurting them.
Hi Charles Your friend's experience with Genesis dealers was one of the complaints I read on an owner's forum. Some owners complained about unfilled promises from Genesis Corporate. One said his GV80, in three months of ownership, spent more time at the dealer than he was able to drive it. I'm sure in time Genesis will get their act together. Unfortunately, some owners will experience unreasonable downtime.
Hey Lyn - Agree with your take, will take a serious look at these when me and the pups are done loving on our Volvo XC90 Inscription. Your style, as well as the editing and the videography, are so easy and pleasant to watch. Hope some of these other RU-vid influencers are paying attention. ✨️✨️ ✨️ ✨️ ✨️
@@21Dimen I agree with you. My thoughts, the vibration was a wheel balance issue which is easily corrected. My concern had to do with the number of owners who were experiencing unresolved electronic and mechanical issues. Some owners remarked problems were not corrected after multiple trips to the dealer. Some elevated their concerns to Genesis Corporate. No help. All the above-mentioned can be found on Genesis GV80 owner forums (actual owner experiences), not Genesis sponsored. It's unfortunate because it's a beautiful SUV
Hey Lyn - I agree, seriously considering the G80 when the pups and I are through loving our Volvo XC 90 Inscription! Your observations and presentation, the editing, and the videography make this so easy and pleasant to watch. Hope some of the other RU-vid influencers are watching. ✨️✨️ ✨️ ✨️ ✨️
Its wild that Genesis for the money can put out an interior with high quality materials and top notch builf quality and Lexus instead uses fake leather, plastic everywhere and fake metal trim and its supposed to compete with this
Because genesis knows better than Lexus. They know what true luxury means. They have much better R&D than Lexus could ever have Lexus as a brand is dying. They’re no longer relevant. Tbh the less said about Lexus the better.
I think that's because Lexus has established brand equity and can afford to cut costs because they no longer have as much to prove. It's a shame to think that way but companies get greedy
😂😂😂 what are u even talking about?... every luxury manufacturer damn near use the same materials...just because a piece is finished on brushed aluminum doesn't mean it's metal.. yea cars like bentley and RR use more actual metal but also use alot of plastic as well...actually..show me where the 2024 porsche 911 looks like it has no plastic on the interior. I can wait.
I’d rather give up the dealer experience to get a better car It’s not about the brand. It’s about the car itself Genesis can have the worst dealer experience in the world and still produce better quality products than Lexus I think it’s safe to say this: Lexus has the best quality luxury vehicle owner experience, but genesis has the best quality luxury vehicles period. And I think i choose the latter…
The Lexus competition for this car has fake leather, painted plastic to look like metal and plastic everywhere with an ugly front People buy Lexus because they're afraid to buy anything else. If they can sell off fear alone certainly Genesis can sell with an excellent vehicle with quality and materials to match
Yup, I had to stop to think for a second before realizing that you were referring to the fact the GV80 offers more than Japanese brands, but you started the sentence with "when it comes to Japanese", right after talking about the GLE which is a main reason why it was confusing
Big fan of the Korean brands here, I look forward to trying the Genesis brand especially if it has plug in hybrids (it has none right now) or longer range EVs (the Electrified GV70 is a bit short in range)
Forgot to mention the Land Rover Range Rover sport and Cadillac xt6 and Land Rover Defender and Lexus gx and Lincoln aviator and Porsche Cayenne and Maserati Levante
Genesis is not playing 🤨 They are serious about creating a premium brand. They pay great attention to detail. GV70 is one of the most beautiful cars on the road. This model is slightly larger. They have self parking and other cool features. I hope they can continue to offer value in the luxury space.
I wish Toyota/Lexus would make an effort to build interiors (and to some degree exteriors) that look this good. They also need to develop the separate dealer network like they said they were going to do several years ago. I am also still hearing references to reliability issues. Get those things worked out and I might sign up for one sometime down the road. One nit on the interior.....lose the backwards operating tach and the Buick Park Avenue steering wheel!!
That interior is incredible! Lyn's colour coordination just made it look even better, lol. But that gear selector is a big "No" for me. Agree with Lyn that it's far too easy to confuse with the infotainment controller.
She hates the one thing that differentiates this car from others... the big beautiful grill. It's the reason that drew me to this vehicle and ultimately to buy this exact car in video.
EV’e aren’t selling as well as Hybrid or Plug-in Hybrids. Keep your gas engine or get an inexpensive Prius or Kia Niro. We just aren’t there yet. Great review on the model! 😊
Really love what they're doing with their vehicles but I have to question reliability. I've known several people that have Hyundai's and kias and they have not had a good experience with any of them
I saw one of these cars this past weekend and it was so beautiful that I had to find a video on it. I am very happy with Hyundai products - I am on my second Santa Fe. It would be nice if this could be my next purchase... we'll see.
I was surprised to see the ignorance of influencers who said that Korean brands of cars were Japanese brands. Wouldn't it be very rude to say that the brand is from another country without mentioning the country of the brand? How can you not know the country of the premium brand? wow 😧🙁
The MB,BMW, Lexus, and Volvo competitors all offer PHEV powertrains. GV80 adding a PHEV powertrain would level up against the competition not set it apart.
Wireless carplay is only a couple years old. The newer dash they have coming out has it. Don't forget hyundai was the first with Android auto and one of the first with car play for years when everyone else said they wouldn't do it.
I recently posted my experience regarding coming close to leasing a 2024 GV80. If you are considering leasing or buying one, please read owner forums, not sponsored by Genesis. I, like many are impressed by this car's looks and features but current owners are experiencing a multitude of problems.
That screen is already out of date. Too narrow aspect ratio is bad. Need large Tesla like screen, That steering wheel is ugly, finally they put the front sensor right at the bottom of front bumper where license plate needs to go, instead of the middle of the grill..now only place you can put a license plate is in the middle of that gorgeous grill instead down where the bumper is. Finally under the hood, the engine compartment they cut cost, sea of black plastic not even a logo, looks generic. Otherwise they killed it in style and everything else, oh forget dealership experience, you are dealing with Hyundai Kia personnel, not the best. I am a bit shocked since the car has been out like 3 years already, they still have not gotten rid of the steering wheel or made the Sport steering standard.
Technically Hyundai has 'figured out' wireless CarPlay. All their new products (Kona/Santa Fe etc) with their new (but same size) screen and software have them wirelessly. Genesis should as well once they run through stock of the current screen.
That's the problem, there is not a lot of Genesis dealerships. Where i lived, a Nissan dealership is like a third party seller which is a big red flag.
@@Jag-leaper the 2021-2023 models have poor reliability according to consumer reports and predict the new 2024 will be less reliable than the average new car.
I love the look of this car and drove one a couple years ago. But the dealbreaker for me is that screen, which is out of reach of the driver. Having to fiddle around with the touchpad felt extremely awkward to me. I wound up with a Lincoln aviator And a touchscreen I can actually touch.
Oh well Thank you for review and saving my time as my wife was seeking to go test one out but she is short, so this is not for short drivers. I guess manufacturers only wanted tall people's money
Bloated grill?That genesis grill is magnificent and a trademark I’ve always loved their grill. I owned the last generation G80 some years back but definitely will be getting that new GV80 coupe SUV. I wanted this one till I seen the coupe model omg 😊
Beautiful SUV. But the steering wheel is not nice, looks old old, and the info screen is just to far away. Why not bring it right up instead of having the edge of the dash in the way.
How tall are you? Don’t complain about the front seat then say how much legroom is in the back if you’re like 5’ 2”. Also, it’s a rear wheel bias vehicle so torque steering isn’t an issue, right?
Hyundai owns Genesis and it’s a shame that Genesis will not change the damn steering wheel. I know it’s much controversy some people like it most people don’t and I wish they would change the wheel I own a Hyundai palisade looking to upgrade was going to buy the genesis but the steering wheel is absolutely horrible
Love the look of the GV 80, but the design of the black wheels have to go, the design of the wheels look so generic I like the previous prestige wheels design better.
Hyundai hired a lot of BMW folks and made their products a lot better and good looking on the other hand BMW grabbed the folks who designed Acura TL crow beak designer and are now making BMWs ugly
I do like the exteriors of this brand, except the grill. The interiors are another matter. Luxurious, sure, but the interior styling - starting with the 1960 Olds steering wheel - is far too bland and sedate for my taste. I can see the appeal here, but they are demanding luxury car prices for an unproven luxury brand.
It's a crest shape. How is it a "faux" Bentley grill?? ..because it's also mesh?? Bentley has a completely different shape, thar being a square/rectangle with a center divider..
