I will be leasing a 2024 Genesis Electrified g80 next February (Savile Silver with Vanilla Beige interior) after 15 years of leasing Lexus models. I am looking forward to the Genesis!! Thank you for the great review!
Ok, you are becoming one of my favorite reviewers! Here's why... you approach these vehicles from a practical standpoint with an everyday man persona but still automotively competent. So many of the other channels "copy/ paste" their info from one another liking and hating all the same things for the same reasons. It's agonizing! If I hear one more complaint on "piano black" I'm going to drop a piano on someone's head! Nearly every channel that reviewed this car complained about the "trunk space, roof height, rear seat foot space" as if it genuinely affected them, meanwhile they daily a civic! There's a difference between observations versus criticisms and too many other channels just serve as echo chambers to whoever broke the story first. Thank you for your individuality. I hope you do well in this space.
Thank you for your awesome review of this car. Your video was one of the ones I watched before test driving it. I LOVE driving this car! Test drove it and purchased it the same night. Fantastic car! Super fun to drive too
This is the first car where the driving modes are actually very distinct. Sport mode is a BEAST! I showed a friend of mine and now she wants one too. LOL!
I’m surprised to see the radar plate centered on the front grill. Don’t recall that in the GV70 electric and it’s presence is one of the few misses Genesis has overall. Pro-regen tip: Set the regeneration level for your highway/freeway exit ramp desired level before turning on cruise because as so as you come off cruise it’s instantly back. I’m constantly padding up and down to meet my needs of the moment but don’t forget the left and right paddle hold-ins and that affect. On the fly regen levels is absolutely the best. My hope is their greatest strength of 800V charging speeds remains. Tesla V4’s Dispenser roll out are tied to old V3 low voltage cabinets. If Tesla later releases 800-1K voltages they’ll not have to tear up the parking lot. Right now they won’t even let the CCS Magic Docs adapter to be deployed to charge at 1/6th the maximum rate. So yeah…a double solute from Elon Hyundai/KIA/Genesis. Build your own or go home is clearly the current unmistakable vibe. 12:21
The radar plate isn't as noticeable in person compared to how the camera picks it up. Yeah I think regen should be disabled once you set cruise control or at least largely dulled upon cruise cancel. Volvo dulls it when cancelled.
I like the Ford Lightning but the ones I like are out of my price range because I like the Lariats and limited. I think it is at least good Ford has come out and said this, only for the fact it means they aren’t fully out of EVs. If I was the engineers, I look at the tesla and then look at the lightning and decide how to do similar cost cuts. Plus I would tell the software team to create everything from the ground up and be in charge of what electrical products are used.
How's the seating position front and rear in this? Since the battery was placed underneath, you sit a little higher than the ice G80. Is it really noticeable and somewhat uncomfortable, or noticeable but livable? Would you take the electrified GV70 instead?
@@KirkKreifels Glad to know man! I really appreciate all the coverage! Lexus doesn’t have an answer for this Genesis but you already previewed what’s coming! You got any more videos of the show coming?
The low speed buzzer is completely unnecessary and created by EVphobia. EV car still makes tire noise and that is already enough to catch pedestrians’ attention

This is a good looking EV

I just leased a demo unit 2023, I find myself going to the garage just to stare at it or sit in it.

Hi Kirk!
Very beautiful electric vehicle❤

If you hold the left paddle to come to a complete stop, it is super smooth.

a great car that will undersell
hear ya loud n clear Kirk... ML 😉
At the same price would you rather have a G 80 E or a BMW i4 40 x drive?
Would love for you to compare this to Mercedes EQS and Audi E-Tron GT
Party time!!! More electric. How wonderful.
You back from Japan? How was the trip?
Unbelievable

not perfect but nice, thanks Kirk.

What are you saying man. Are you challenging the wrath of nature!
Would you choose this or the BMW i5 X drive
Haven't driven the i5 yet
Would’ve been so nice if genesis offered hybrid options just like Lexus, they’re really jumping from ICE straight to EV
Hey they now have two mild hybrids. G90 and gv80. Those add performance though not so much efficiency
Is Genesis going to make a two seater car? Like Porsche 911.
This could compete with the BMW i5 which is an electric 5 series
regen not as good as coasting at highway speeds.
Luxury Hyundai Sonata
Junk
Are you saying that to yourself?
