The 2020 Genesis G90 5.0L is An Old School Luxury Sedan with a Big V8 

The g80 is not a new model only the gv80. The g80 is a refresh just like the g90 but with the new v6 engine

It's a beautiful car but why buy this now unless you lease? In 2 years the G90 will be completely redesigned to match their other models.

@@carlosovalle6165 the G80 it's a complete redesign what are you talking about

Not sure about the 2020 but on earlier year models if you switch off the traction control you can smoke the rear tires.

Carlos Ovalle correction. The G80 is a redesign. With new engine choices. A new car

@Der Schwindel Looks like the copied an LS 460

I was kinda expecting some Yakuza guys to hop out

Andrew.Woolman eliminate Walmart from your shopping list. Make better choices in the neighborhoods you frequent. Choose your friends carefully. Stay out of seedy places strip clubs etc.

Man, you're doing the right thing. I swear, this car is a korean Bentley

You are right. In Korea, when you visit places where there are many companies or government agencies around, G90 and Equus are everywhere. Limo version isn't rare too.

@@andrew.woolman7449 Well, I'm one of those American viewers who won't be purchasing a G90 but the luxury sedan market isn't completely irrelevant in the US. Americans like BIG vehicles and large luxury sedans remain aspirational automobiles for many consumers. The same is true of Lamborghinis, McLarens, Bentleys, and the most powerful versions of 911's. And like it or not, "immature teenage boys" constitute a huge portion of RU-vid viewers. :)

you can exclude Europe from your statement. I don't think if anybody will buy luxury Hyundai here even if it's cheaper than Audi/BMW/Mercedes.

@@FLAKKU03 Genesis has only recently begun (earlier this year) to offer vehicles in a few European countries, specifically with three showrooms in the UK, Germany, and Switzerland. Whether the Korean brand will be successful in Europe has yet to be determined. In any event sales of large luxury sedans in Europe have plummeted in the COVID-19 era, an overall of a drop of 35% compared to the first quarter of 2019. And that follows a drop of 13% in annual sales in 2019 compared to 2018. It's a small market numerically but I wouldn't be surprised to see Genesis make a significant dent in European sales over the next couple of years.

About to be my family sedan. 3 kids better make due in that 2nd row.

@@andrew.woolman7449 Hyundai doesn't honor their warranty if you don't have service records for the vehicle or you cant prove that within the warranty period that it was ONLY serviced by a dealer. I had my Kia Sorento serviced by a dealer only and when the AWD system failed at 111,000 miles (11,000) passed warranty. I took it to the dealer and they quoted me $3,000 dollars and I couldn't afford that. I was a little frustrated so I got a loaner and left my Sorento there while I thought if it was worth it to fix it or get another car. The next day I get a call from Kia corporate and they told me as a thank you for always having my vehicle serviced at the dealership they will fix my vehicle under an extended warranty and they have extended my warranty to 135,000 miles because I was never late on maintenance and it was always done by their dealerships. It currently has 178,000 miles on it and no issues have occurred since. I'm 100% getting another Hyundai product after this one dies

It’s illegal to require dealer service (unless they figured out a way around the law.)

Hahaha i was gonna say the same

My blood instantly boiled when I noticed lol

Typical BMW joke so funny haha I laugh now

@@goowatchi feel better?

😂🤦🏿‍♂️

Amen!!

But you won’t and that’s THE issue

The G90 is pretty old school if you think about it.

@Daniel Hernandez I doubt it...it was just redesigned over a year ago.

Forever Young ;)

vapor4den Glad to see some of our viewers liking the new format! Stay safe and thanks for the feedback :)

@Der Schwindel Definitely not. Especially considering Genesis topped Lexus in reliability.

@Der Schwindel That's a stupid comment...

@@jaredshelton4718 Genesis is only ranked 15th in reliability lol nice try tho

@@jjax3661 Actually they’re #1, nice try though

@@jaredshelton4718 actually they’re not, nice try though Hyundaitard

Genesis is dropping the v8 for the next gen G90. Sad to see the Tau V8 leave, but i am intrigued about the up coming EV G90.

Genesis doesn’t even sell as many cars as INFINITI let alone Acura and Lexus. Yes they are killing it with their new designs and models especially the gv80 which is an actual competitor to the German brands. However it’s so hard to find Genesis because they don’t have dealers and aren’t easily accessible. It will be a while before they catch up to those other companies sales numbers.

AFCompany genesis sells its cars in Hyundai dealers

But are they killing it in sale? That what Lexus, Infiniti, Acura care about

Kyle Swift I know but that’s the problem. They don’t have their own dealerships. In most places If you are cross shopping luxury cars you can go from dealer to dealer. However luxury dealers and standard brands are normally not on the same street. So people aren’t going to think to drive to Hyundai to get a luxury car. A lot of people don’t even know Genesis is associated with Hyundai.

Not in this life time sit on those cars after 3 4 year cheap af build qualilty

@@baldeepjanda2798 I'm sorry, Acura and Infiniti are more premium and better built vehicles? Stop it

@@LilRick96 sit in a Lexus u will see the difference

@@baldeepjanda2798 yes but the Lexus infotainment system with the TRACK PAD is horrendous and drives people away from Lexus. If Lexus does change to a better info system they will definitely be on top again

@@baldeepjanda2798 I said Acura and Infiniti, I already know about Lexus quality, I own a LS. but this generation LS is severely disappointing from the horrible infotainment and technology, no v8 and it's smaller interior than the previous generation and the disappointment shows in it's sales. They dropped the ball big time

Shit man could you imagine

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

You can try for the G80 5.0

They'll figure it out on the redesign.

Tech Defender I wished they making a new Genesis Coupe also!

People get so pissed when I say that, but luxury buyers only fully respect brands that do exactly what you mentioned. Toyota was well aware of that in 1989 when they built separate selling channels for the Lexus brand. That is how they ascended into success so fast!

They do have seperate dealerships in Korea but yes they do need to get the dealerships out where they're selling these cars.. because like u said, no one wants to go buy luxury cars in a non-luxury brand's dealerships.. :/

They're working on it. They need people to actually purchase and appreciate their cars first before they can spend that kind of money. They need to know that they're going to gain popularity and increase sales.

Those same notorious Hyundai dealers are suing them so that they cannot set up separate dealerships for Genesis.

They have in Noblesville Indiana.

Is this the same 5.0 that came out for the 2012 r-spec sedan?

They probably will, some time ago they stated that the "V8 has no future at Genesis."

To be honest i hope the 3 clylinder becomes the only engine coz: 1. Better economy 2. It can make lots of power eg. GR yaris 261, Koenigsegg Gemera 600 3.Its lighter 4.Easier to work with 5.Will make the car more affordable 6.Hybrid versions will be extremely efficient 7.Lower carbon emissions Downside is 1.sound V8 sounds better

A V8 that can't do a burn out is sad. They need more power. Mustang got the better 5.0.

Pixubol Imon It can easily do a burnout but they intentionally programmed it to sense if you’re standing on the brake and throttle at the same time, it cuts power.

@japanwatchconnection Yeah, well that argument cuts across the board for everyone then. You're always going to find forums that collective have horrible reviews on warranty service and class action lawsuits all the time. Take what you can get. Lol

@japanwatchconnection That's not true at all. Considering they replaced thousands of engines.

We got a name for it now!

evil acceleration laugh!!! wow... good one, dude.... I wish I could laugh like that driving my vw... hehehe

In the first gen g80 it only weighed 4000 lbs, more horsepower, and with traction completely disabled, you drift on the streets from straight line acceleration. Mine will drift from a 40 roll with it completely disabled lmao

👍 yep

Currently driving a 2011 crown vic as my first car and love it but looking at a 2013 hyundai genesis to replace it and hopefully one day I can get one of these g80's or g90's

Jacob Rael awesome, when I was a kid we had a 84 crown victoria. The one you have is my favorite generation

My dad still has his 97 crown Victoria, the seats are so damn comfortable. 300,000 miles and still kicking!

Get a lincoln town car

True bro

In addition, the fact that you can top out the G90 at the base price of a v6 S class or and In-line 6 seven series says a lot about the Germans over inflation

@@byronnasem4110 In fact the S Class starts at almost 95K, and that with zero options. This G90 is fully loaded at 79K JUst can't compare from a value standpoint.

Calvin Hikes Hope you feel better! :)

Exactly. The sporty 5 spoke rims just look out of place in luxury cars. These on the other hand ooze sophistication.

I imagine the people who owns these don't wash their own cars anyway.

@@gamestar8180 because they don't lol... People who own these new are rich people. And pay others to clean it.

Pressure wash exists.

@@biglee13m That doesn't get a wheel or anything fully clean, you have to get in there and scrub.

@japanwatchconnection if Samsung can dethrone sony in consumer electronics, genesis can dethrone Germans.

Khachik Hmayakyan Actually you got it wrong. Hyundai is the parent company. Hyundai partially owns Kia. Genesis is Hyundai’s luxury division.

@@cortezmiller1899 just partially? It's around 30 to 45%. Large enough to control Kia. As good as owning it.

Officially known as Hyundai motor group (Hyundai + kia + genesis)

@Der Schwindel we all love our galaxy phone but refuse to believe the koreans could actually top the Japanese in auto manufacturing. They may not have a track record like Toyota, but for the past decade, their vehicles have been solid and reliable which help elevate them to where they are today; able to innovate and leave the Japanese in the dust. My company has been driving hyundais for our employees for the past 10 years and we drive these sumbiches hard some over 250k miles before we sold them after less than 7 years. If these things can go for over 250k miles without falling apart, do tell me what a Toyota can do that a Hyundai cannot. The car is either reliable or it isn't there is no reliability meter to compare. even Toyota has their share of scary recalls lately.

Hyundai motor group which includes Kia and genesis is already world's 5th largest automaker. Surpassed Ford and Honda. In Europe the group outsells Toyota and Honda combined. No automaker can stop them from becoming #1 in 10 years.

@@cooldickswagger476 koreans already topped Japanese on dram and TVs. Samsung and hynix control astonishing 75% of DRAM market. Samsung and LG control 50% of TV market. Sony is down to only 10%. In Europe Hyundai motor group already outsells Toyota and Honda combined. With such herculean track record, it would be foolish to think it can't happen in auto industry.

@Der Schwindel Toyota/Lexus has had three separate recalls for engine fires since 2014. The most recent recall for that was issued in 2019.

Im lookn to get a g70 or g80 but waiting for the refreshed g70. Cant go wrong either way. Really waiting to see if they make a new coupe

He has a husband?

@@gregoryvierra6114 Lol yea he has a husband but... She's referring to her husband lol.

Maybe there just dating idk he's married or not.

Until you see and experience the next generation G90...

It's a great deal now

You must be a bitter person....I’ll pray for you

This mimics old school American luxury sedans, from the V8 engine and obnoxious size, to the lack of tech features seen in most other cars. It's meant to be simple and smooth, something that, for some reason, we still like paying top dollar for. Why anyone would shell out so much money for an outdated land yacht is beyond me, but to each their own I guess.
