I bought new Genesis G80. And finally, I got received this car last week from the dealer. I own 2018 Mercedes E class. Genesis G80 is alot more comfortable and quiet while driving. And alot less vibration and sound from tire and ground. And also feels like I'm riding a magical carpet. I think Genesis G80 is whole lot better than Mercedes E class.
Thank you for watching the video and sharing your experience with us. Genesis G80 sure was quiet. I believe your comment based on your personal experience will help the people watching this video. Wow, I am jealous that you own the G80 :) Thank you!
Excellent review!.. Fyi the button you were wondering about (keeps the vehicle in the centre of current lane) is called lane keep assist (LKA. ) I use this all the time on my G70 makes the car semi autonomous. Should mention also I've also tried this feature on other brands and Genesis' version is by far the best
Thank you again for informing me with all the names of features :) There are so many new terms that I wasn't aware of lol but LKA surely was nice and responsing very quickly and sensitively. I haven't driven any other cars with this function, but for cars to just have this type of function just amazes me. We could literally drive without touching anything in the near future. :)
A lot of people are complaining about the manual sunshades.. But the latter vehicles (Audi A6/A7, Lexus GS, Mercedes E Class, BMW 5 series) Don't come with power sunshade.. if any at all. So a manual sunshade at this price point is a PLUS in my personal opinion. Power sunshade are usually reserved for the 70k priced vehicles and over, where a chauffeur usually will drive the vehicle for the owner.
Thanks for watching the video. What you wrote is exactly how I feel. It may not be a power sunshade, but at least you have sunshades in the car. Besides, it is a lot cheaper compared to German vehicles. I cannot agree more with you! Thanks for sharing your opinion with us!!
I like this car. But I don't think I will get it in Canada. Why? I can get German cars (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) with lease rates around 0.13%-1%. The price are very identical but lease rates make the big difference. I will definitely get this car if the lease rate can be offered at 1% or below. Good car this G80 is. But unfortunately I have to wait till Genesis lowers lease rate to get it...
Thanks for watching the video. As you said, the lease rate could make a big difference. Hopefully Hyundai Canada can do something about it so more people can enjoy Korean Luxury and Premium Genesis
Thanks for watching the video. To answer your question, I don't think there's too much difference in efficiency. 3.3 and 3.5, there's only little difference and even the output, acceleration and etc are pretty much same. As for the FUEL efficiency, it's not so bad for the size of engine AS LONG AS you are not flooring it. For 3.5T, it is 9.2km/L of fuel efficiency and 8.4lm/L for AWD. I am sure, it is a lot better on highways.
I have last years g80 sport model, I have heard they are coming out with a tuned version of the new model, with 420 HP will wait to see that version. but think 2021 G80 really hit a home run with the update, My only issue is want sportier steering wheel and the panoramic sun roof is much smaller than my current one from what I see in videos.
Thanks for watching the video. Wow, I learned something from you. I didn't know Genesis was produing a tuned version. It will be awesome! As for the steering wheel, you are absolutely right. It is not sporty, more like... luxury. Also for the sunroof, I believe it has gotten shorter since it is a fastback and due to a safety purpose.
I love the way the car looks special fastback roofline, interior looks beautiful. The exterior reminds me of Bentley/Mercedes Benz looking design. In my opinion.
Thanks for watching the video. The overall exterior design looks beautiful. Personally, I am still trying to get used to the headlights and taillights lol
Great review James! Look forward to seeing more in English and hopefully you can create a separate playlist to split up your English and your Korean videos.
Thanks for watching the video and supporting us. What a compliment! Thank you so much. I try to do best at all time, but I am not a profesional so I always feel what I did was never good enough to inform the people watching the video. However, people like you helps me make better reviews and makes me feel GREAT! We will always try our best and please let us know if there is anything we can do or help answering to your questions. Thank you so much!!!
Sadly in America we don't have those rear touch screens in the back for the america g80 version of it hopefully Genesis will do that in the future or next year
Your review is very helpful for my purchasing decision. I look for the comfort factor on daily short drive to work. G80 seems like a better option for that vs gv80.
Thanks for watching the video. I am glad it was helpful. When it comes to comfort, a sedan is surely to go. I mean GV80 is awesome but still, it can't beat G80 in comfort.
Thanks for watching the video. I neve never liked Hyundai(Genesis) before because they were too soft to the suspensions and my personal taste was no near it. I am more like Honda Vtec type of person but as I am aging, I am looking for something comfortable and reliable too. Not because I reviewed the G80, you would love it more than E Class, 5 series and Audi A6. The performance it no less than any of the German motors, and all those options and comfortable features in the car are a far better than any other car brands. Korean people call Hyundai motor cars, the cars.made for top notch options! LoL. You will love it for sure.
I'm really anticipating the refresh with this type styling applied. I love the exterior of the current g70 and the interior is also very well done except the infotainment display /system.. Can't wait to see it with the new interior.. I am hoping the refreshed g70 still looks good on the outside after the refresh, right now its amazing exterior look.
Thanks for watching the video. As for earlier G70 model, it is definetely a fun and luxury 4 door sedan to drive, yet it idoes not have enough space in the back. Other than that, I loved everything about it. Hopefully, the refreshed G70 gets a bit bigger :)
If the drivetrain is reliable would consider this second hand. Looks really nice. We need to stop depending on the typical german models as the benchmark for luxury. Gimmicks and gadgets are not a luxury.
Thanks for watching the video. Tpu are absolutely right about that we shouldn't benchmark German motors as luxury. I think a part of reason why people including myself benchmark German cars as luxury is because they are pretty expensive and they have long history. However, when it comes to OPTIONS and all those gadgets, Genesis(Hyundai) is by far better than any other brands. Domestic Korean brands such as Hyundai and Kia do not haveong history as German motors do but we have grown and developed so quickly that we are now at the level where we can compete with any car brands around the world. I just wish they continue the good job so they can provide people to drive good and safe cars! Thanks for sharing your idea with us!!
@@카티 Agree. I feel Genesis overall is finally at the same level when Lexus came out with the LS400. If they can continue being more distinctive from not only the competition but Hyundai, they can definitely etch their own place in the market.
Hey James, how much faster does this new 3.5T engine compares to the previous 3.3T engine? Ex: 0-100km/h in how many seconds? **Oops: My mind was on mph and not converting it to km/h correctly.
Thank you for watching the video. I couldn't exactly find what you asked me but I am going to share what I found. The acceleration for 0-100km/h on both cars are 5.1s for 2021 g80 and 5.2s for the one with 3.3T. They are not offiicial, but what people with a lot of curiosity like me tested. The outputs are almost same. 2021 models pushes 380hp and 370hp for 2019 with 3.3T, but is 130kg heavier. The 2021 model also became longer and wider in body so I believe that's where the 0.1s difference comes from. Still, they both are great!
The ONLY thing I don’t like about the new model is the fact you can’t differentiate between the two models. 2.5t looks just like the 3.5t. There should’ve been some sort of badging and exterior styling to tell them apart. Other than that, I love the car and can’t wait to see it on North American streets.
Thanks for watching the Video. I can't agree with you more about differntiating the two models. I am sure there's a way to differentiate, but it is so hard to find it lol
Thank you for watching the video. Yes, G80 is pretty awesome. Personally, I am still not used to the headlights and taillights, but the car itself is really gorgeous.
Thanks for watching the video. You cannot find a car that you can fit? As for me, my stomach is getting bigger and bigger so I cannot find a car that I can drive comfortably. I need to lose weight :( Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching the video. I was personally so amazed with everything on this car. The car is about 50,000USD but the option you can add on goes up to 23,000 USD, which will cost us more than 70,000 USD. 70 grands is not a small amount of money, but is definetely worth it for G80. I loved it!
Thank you for calling out the headroom concerns (I’m 6’ 1”). I have a similar issue in many Lexus cars that is never called out in reviews. The seats don’t go low enough and my hair brushes the headliner. Drives me nuts.
Thanks for watching the video. You are a couple inches taller than me and it will be very disturbing if your hair constantly brushes the ceiling. I believe I lowered the seat position as much as I could at the moment but my hair was still touching and brushing the ceiling slightly. Fastback perhaps isn't for me and you lol but I loved and still love g80 so much!!
Absolutely! I am about 5'11" and my hair should be at least another 2 inches lol Just wanted to share how low it could be to some people because it is something that I would definetely consider when purchasing a car. Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing your opinion with us. You are right about the seat position. I just wanted to show that it could be bothering for some people like me and people with spikey hair. I should just shave my hair lol
Very nice car, I was impressed by the exterior and interior design, all very well achieved. I know I can't afford this car. But are there chances that it will reach Argentina? My regards, brother. Good video.
Thanks for watching the video. I know for sure it will launch in North America but Not so sure in South America. I haven't found any articles on releasing Genesis in South America yet so I can't give you a clear answer to your question. Sorry :(
Why think you can't afford it? I never thought I could afford a g70 but I found a way.. Some sacrifices are needed obviously but I am sure you can as well.!
Japan has rested on its laurels for too long! There are cars like this brand new G80 coming out of South Korea and even sedans like the new Hongqi H9 from China that are taking attainable luxury to a whole new level!
Thanks for watching the video. I think it is good for manufacturers to compete against each other to make better and reliable automobiles for people. Japan still manufactures great cars, but I agree that Japanese haven't been updating and developing much(not so different from German and even South Korean brands). Well, when maufacturers compete, we can expect better cars. I just hope the prices don't skyrocket rapidly.
@@카티 I at one time LOVED red line reviews. But, Sofyan lets the TRUE -SOFYAN on out with his MOUTH!! There is one review in paticular where he spoke SHADY ABOUT THE VERY PEOPLE WHO ARE THE REASON HE IS WHERE HE IS!! (not yelling) just 😡 upset.. But, I will be watching this channel now too..Hope you are not the hissy fit kind..
Thanks for watching the video. Unfortunately, I have never driven a G70 before, but a few my friends said, it seems a lot faster since it is lighter and smaller, yet the rear seats almost have no rooms for adults. When people tested the acceleration of 3.5TAWD, it was marked at 5.1s ish
Thanks for watching the video. I don't really know why but I am thinking they are trying to resemble a big shield. The grille and muffler tips, they both look like a shield. At least thats what I was told and informed. Sorry that I can't provide better answers for you.
Thanks for watching the video. You know what? I totally agree with you on that. It would have been so much better if it had been placed on the bumper not on the grille. :)
Thanks for watching the video. I have been seeing black, graceful grey Uyuni white and sedona brown G80s on the road. I personally think black looks the best.
Thanks for watching the video. If u r 6'3" it might be too low for you. Again, it is the best to actually test it yourself. I am 5'11" and chubby so the way I sit might be a bit off compared to others.
@@mikealanzo go myself a MB just like everyone else, it is sitting in a shop for the third time. I am going to get rid of that POS and get something else, G80 is definitely on the list
Thank you for watching the video. I lowered the seat position as low as I could, but my hair was still touching the ceiling. LOL Maybe I should just shave my hair :)
So, is this car loaded with cheap parts and plastic? If so, then there’s really no comparison between it and the E-Class Benz. But I guess if you value quantity over quality, then this is the car you you. It looks great inside and out, but how long will those cheap parts last????
Thanks for watching the video. Well... I guess it all depends on how you look at the car. I believe this car with full options will be around 70,000usd(I have converted how much it is sold in Korea to USD). Please tell me any cars that are only equipped with luxury parts around 70,000 USD. Benz E-class? The parts inside the E-class look luxury and not cheap looking? You might disagree, but personally, Genesis has done a better job to build all the Genesis line-ups luxurize them, but of course it all depends on how you, I and others look at it. What the G80 competes against, at least here in Korea, is E300(Price wise), or E300 4Matic(this will exceed the price of full option G80 by a lot), I chose Benz since you mentioned E-Class in your comment. Performance wise, G80 just dominates E300 or E300 4Matic. I am not supporting Genesis just because I reviewed it. I am not even a professional reviewer or critic and it is not like I get paid from Genesis/Hyundai. I am just a daily driving father who likes the car and loves to review how I feel about domestic cars that are also widely driven in the U.S and other countries. Overall, people will buy it if they like it. I guess in your case, you wouldn't buy it :) Both Genesis and E Class are great cars. Persoanlly, I would choose the new G80 because it was so much more comfortable, but because the E-class was bad or worse than the G80. My best friend also owns an E-class and it is a GREAT car, but it was way different from my taste. He eneded up getting an E-class because that's what he liked and I ended up getting a F30(It was a lot cheaper too :)). So what I am trying to say is it's all different from what you are seeking and looking for. It could be the performance, comfortness, or parts the manufactures used to complete each car. Thank you for sharing your idea!!!
Thanks for watching the video. Did I sound like complaning? lol I actually loved it very much other than my hair brushing the ceiling and getting used to the headlights and taillights :) Thank you!
I welcome all criticisms :) (I wasn't harmed by it nor didn't feel bad(크크)) They help me become a better at what I do. Please, feel free to write any comments! Your comments will push me become a better reviewer(at least I hope)
Thank you for watching the video. I believe I made height adjustment and think my hair still touched the ceiling lol It's a fastback :) Maybe I should just cut my hair shorter? :)
@@카티 that's crazy! i gotta go check it out because i'm 6ft 2 and head room is very important to me. hopefully US spec is different because we got some talk folks over here.
Thanks for watching the video and verifying the name of function. There are so many names for all these functions and I was so confused lol Active Lane Assist! I will never forget it now :) A BIG THANK YOU to you!
카티Carti you’re welcome :-). Loved the video btw its literally worth watching a review when the details are worth listening to. No messing around! And honest opinions on the various functions. I can probably say on behalf of most of your viewers that your reviews are trustworthy and highly satisfactory! Thanks for uploading the content
Thank you for watching the video! There is no official acceleration measured on Genesis Homepage, but a few people have tried 0-60 and it looks llike it's at around 5.1 sec(3.5T AWD)
Thanks for watching the video! 11 inch long spikey hair, right? :):):) What the hell was I thinking ? Why the hell did I announce my weight? LoL I know I need to do more cardio, not muscle. Plus, I need to stay away from eating so much at night LoL
Thank you for watching the video. I just ran the Google Translater this is what I got and hopefully this is correct. "Genesis is better than Mercedes, BMW and Audi. A very nice car which must also come to Germany. Hyundai / Kia is great." Thanks for sharing your idea on Genesis g80. I do not work for Genesis or get paid from them, but it sure is a good car and is up there to compete with German motors. Do you think it would sell well in Germany? :)
@@카티Unfortunately, Genesis will have the same problem as Lexus or Infiniti. German drivers are focused on Mercedes Audi and BMW. I am one of the people who have recognized that Koreans and Japanese can also build "Premium". Infiniti will no longer exist in Germany in the future. Not enough cars were sold. Maybe 2,000 people drive the Lexus in Germany. Still, the Genesis has to come to Germany. German cars are too expensive and boring for me. Nothing is unusual there I personally love extravagant and elegant cars. The "Germans" don't offer me that. I wish you all the best . To oppose (good bye and bye)
Lines are beautiful.... until you get to the rear end. Did they get tired of working on it and let their kids take over to finish it? Rear end is fucking ugly and ruins it.
Thanks for watching the video and I am terrible sorry to reply so late. Your comment made me smile, as a matter of fact, burst out into laughter. Why? Because I was kind of thinking the same thing. The rear is great but it could have been a bit better in my opinion. But you know what? It is still good to me because what I drive is 2016 BMW 3 and 2001 Honda Prelude. Even with the ugly rear design, the car itself has advanced so much with a lot of convenient features and high techs. I actually liked it very much :)
Thanks for watching the video. The Exterior, I personally like the previous model better, but what it has inside and all the high techs are so much better :)
Lexus has earned their respect but if you truly know the industry their vehicles are severely lack luster.. They slapped on a "sporty" grille but failed to make anything else entertaining. Besides brand prestige, and reliability, I ask drivers give me 3 points where a comparable model eg) GS or ES beats g80.. They never can. Exact same scenario with g70 vs IS.
Thanks for watching the video. Hahahaha your comment made me laugh out loud. Well, the grill doesn't look that bad, does it? I mean it looks good at least in my eyes. Thanks for the laughter!
Thank you for watching the video. LoL I am not professional, that's why. Believe or not, I am still nervouse every time I shoot new reviews. :) I hope I get better as time passes :) Keep supporting us! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your opinion. Well... many cars today look somewhat similar and I wouldn't say the structure design is copied unless I have solid proof. But you know what? They DO LOOK ALIKE lol
Front look like 2012 Mercedes CLS with LEDs , sloping line and side profile like Audi, Interior is like 2016 BMW 7 series, Rear lights is like 2018 Lincoln Continental, Grill is like Bentley
Thanks for watching the video. hahahaha sorry, I always get nervous being on TH-cam plus peaking in a different language isn't so easy lol I mean I had lived in the States but it was 20 years ago, you know? I will keep it mind. Thank you for pointing out :)
Thanks for watching the video. You think so? I mean I am still not used to watching the front headlamp and the real tail lamps, but other than that everything else looks great. We all have different tastes and I agree with you, especially the New Elantra. I personally dislike the exterior.
I bought new Genesis G80. And finally, I got received this car last week from the dealer. I own 2018 Mercedes E class. Genesis G80 is alot more comfortable and quiet while driving.

I personally like the E class more
The e class is more sporty and FASTER

I believe I lowered the seat position as much as I could at the moment but my hair was still touching and brushing the ceiling slightly. Fastback perhaps isn't for me and you lol but I loved and still love g80 so much!!
The reviewer's hairstyle appears to be several inches tall though, so it may not be an issue to the average Joe.
Absolutely!
I am about 5'11" and my hair should be at least another 2 inches lol
Just wanted to share how low it could be to some people because it is something that I would definetely consider when purchasing a car. Thank you!!
Good review! Very useful information.
Thank you for watching the ideo. We are glad it was useful!
Great review handsome fellow
Thank you for watching the video!!! Hopefully we can create better reviews!!
Would have loved for it to be a hatch.
Thanx for watching the video. I have never imagined Genesis to be a hatch. That might be a good idea. A luxury hot hatch Genesis!!
카티Carti Go after the A7. Then they would still need a sedan. But with its design it leans more towards the A7 to me.
You can lower the seat and not spike your hair. I’ve seen taller guys review the car and they had no problems with the roof.
Thanks for sharing your opinion with us. You are right about the seat position. I just wanted to show that it could be bothering for some people like me and people with spikey hair. I should just shave my hair lol
Nice review. Keep it up James!
Thank you Charlie, I hope you are safe from the Corona Virus. Be safe!
Very nice car, I was impressed by the exterior and interior design, all very well achieved. I know I can't afford this car. But are there chances that it will reach Argentina?
My regards, brother. Good video.
Thanks for watching the video.
I know for sure it will launch in North America but Not so sure in South America. I haven't found any articles on releasing Genesis in South America yet so I can't give you a clear answer to your question. Sorry :(
@@카티 Thanks for the information ☺
Why think you can't afford it? I never thought I could afford a g70 but I found a way.. Some sacrifices are needed obviously but I am sure you can as well.!
Nice video, nice car.
5'11" with 6" of hair. So this can fit a 6'5" person without issue. Got it.
Thanksf for watching the video. HAHAHAHA Right! :)
Loved your review.
Thank you for watching the video. We are glad you loved the review. Keep supporting us!
Japan has rested on its laurels for too long! There are cars like this brand new G80 coming out of South Korea and even sedans like the new Hongqi H9 from China that are taking attainable luxury to a whole new level!
Thanks for watching the video. I think it is good for manufacturers to compete against each other to make better and reliable automobiles for people. Japan still manufactures great cars, but I agree that Japanese haven't been updating and developing much(not so different from German and even South Korean brands). Well, when maufacturers compete, we can expect better cars. I just hope the prices don't skyrocket rapidly.
will be released to Europe too?
No for Europe
Hyundai is planning to launch Genesis in Europe soon
great video , reminded me a bit of redline reviews (the style of review)
Redline-Reviews is what this reminds you of? Oh Santiago, you have MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY!!!
Thanx for watching the video.
I should watch the redline review myself :)
@@카티 I at one time LOVED red line reviews. But, Sofyan lets the TRUE -SOFYAN on out with his MOUTH!! There is one review in paticular where he spoke SHADY ABOUT THE VERY PEOPLE WHO ARE THE REASON HE IS WHERE HE IS!! (not yelling) just 😡 upset.. But, I will be watching this channel now too..Hope you are not the hissy fit kind..
If u compare it to g70 acceleration, what's the numbers? 0-100km/60mph for each??!
Thanks for watching the video. Unfortunately, I have never driven a G70 before, but a few my friends said, it seems a lot faster since it is lighter and smaller, yet the rear seats almost have no rooms for adults.
When people tested the acceleration of 3.5TAWD, it was marked at 5.1s ish
Any idea why they simplified the grill? The one on the G70 and old G80 Sport looks better.
Thanks for watching the video. I don't really know why but I am thinking they are trying to resemble a big shield. The grille and muffler tips, they both look like a shield. At least thats what I was told and informed. Sorry that I can't provide better answers for you.
Thank you for your reply! I just prefer the more complex crisscross pattern on the G70. Looks like the wings on the emblem.
What is more comfortable / smoother suspension G80 vs Gv80?
Thanks for watching the video.
GV80 was very comfortable for a SUV but G80 is more comfortable. :)
Good review, thanks.
Genesis might be screaming tho, because you keep mentioning Hyundai...lol
Thank you for watching the video. I know I shouldn't say Hyundai anymore LoL Personally, I LOVED G80. It was so~~~~~~~~ nice!
excellent review, thank you!
Thank you for watching the video. We hope the video was helpful!
Beautiful makes me wanna visit Korea again also the car is nice
Thanks for watching the video. Have you been to Korea before? How did you like it?? :)
A front license plate really spoils this great-looking car.
Thanks for watching the video.
You know what? I totally agree with you on that. It would have been so much better if it had been placed on the bumper not on the grille. :)
What color actually looks great on this thing?
Thanks for watching the video. I have been seeing black, graceful grey Uyuni white and sedona brown G80s on the road. I personally think black looks the best.
Im 6'3 should I still consider this car or the G70? Thanks for the response.
Thanks for watching the video. If u r 6'3" it might be too low for you. Again, it is the best to actually test it yourself. I am 5'11" and chubby so the way I sit might be a bit off compared to others.
Skip this copy & paste POS on wheels and get yourself a real ride, MB or BMW......
@@mikealanzo go myself a MB just like everyone else, it is sitting in a shop for the third time. I am going to get rid of that POS and get something else, G80 is definitely on the list
Just adjust-lower the seat, please 😂. Otherwise, very good review 👍
Thank you for watching the video. I lowered the seat position as low as I could, but my hair was still touching the ceiling. LOL Maybe I should just shave my hair :)
So, is this car loaded with cheap parts and plastic? If so, then there’s really no comparison between it and the E-Class Benz. But I guess if you value quantity over quality, then this is the car you you. It looks great inside and out, but how long will those cheap parts last????
Thanks for watching the video. Well... I guess it all depends on how you look at the car. I believe this car with full options will be around 70,000usd(I have converted how much it is sold in Korea to USD). Please tell me any cars that are only equipped with luxury parts around 70,000 USD. Benz E-class? The parts inside the E-class look luxury and not cheap looking? You might disagree, but personally, Genesis has done a better job to build all the Genesis line-ups luxurize them, but of course it all depends on how you, I and others look at it. What the G80 competes against, at least here in Korea, is E300(Price wise), or E300 4Matic(this will exceed the price of full option G80 by a lot), I chose Benz since you mentioned E-Class in your comment. Performance wise, G80 just dominates E300 or E300 4Matic. I am not supporting Genesis just because I reviewed it. I am not even a professional reviewer or critic and it is not like I get paid from Genesis/Hyundai. I am just a daily driving father who likes the car and loves to review how I feel about domestic cars that are also widely driven in the U.S and other countries. Overall, people will buy it if they like it. I guess in your case, you wouldn't buy it :) Both Genesis and E Class are great cars. Persoanlly, I would choose the new G80 because it was so much more comfortable, but because the E-class was bad or worse than the G80. My best friend also owns an E-class and it is a GREAT car, but it was way different from my taste. He eneded up getting an E-class because that's what he liked and I ended up getting a F30(It was a lot cheaper too :)). So what I am trying to say is it's all different from what you are seeking and looking for. It could be the performance, comfortness, or parts the manufactures used to complete each car. Thank you for sharing your idea!!!
Just love this car. Wow!!
Офигенная тачка! Хороший обзор!
Thank you for watching the video. We are glad you liked the car and the review. Keep supporting us!
Your tone sounds like your complaining about everything 😂😂 Still a good review.
Thanks for watching the video. Did I sound like complaning? lol I actually loved it very much other than my hair brushing the ceiling and getting used to the headlights and taillights :)
Thank you!
@@카티 Just constructive criticism. Didn't mean harm by it. Your in your way to the top. Keep up the good work my friend.
I welcome all criticisms :) (I wasn't harmed by it nor didn't feel bad(크크)) They help me become a better at what I do. Please, feel free to write any comments! Your comments will push me become a better reviewer(at least I hope)
i'm sure you can adjust the seat height. anyway, nice review!
Thank you for watching the video. I believe I made height adjustment and think my hair still touched the ceiling lol It's a fastback :) Maybe I should just cut my hair shorter? :)
@@카티 that's crazy! i gotta go check it out because i'm 6ft 2 and head room is very important to me. hopefully US spec is different because we got some talk folks over here.
17:45...active lane assist 👍🏼
Thanks for watching the video and verifying the name of function. There are so many names for all these functions and I was so confused lol
Active Lane Assist! I will never forget it now :)
A BIG THANK YOU to you!
카티Carti you’re welcome :-). Loved the video btw its literally worth watching a review when the details are worth listening to. No messing around! And honest opinions on the various functions. I can probably say on behalf of most of your viewers that your reviews are trustworthy and highly satisfactory! Thanks for uploading the content
Finally a english review, whats the 0-60????
Thank you for watching the video!
There is no official acceleration measured on Genesis Homepage, but a few people have tried 0-60 and it looks llike it's at around 5.1 sec(3.5T AWD)
how much does it cost in Korea for 2021 2.5L AWD G80?
Thanks for watching the video,
$1 =1204won today so it would be around 45,980usd before tax :)
@@카티 how much is the tax in Korea? also I think it sells more expensive here in Canada. $67K Canadian dollars :(
Red brake calipers would look better.👍🏼😉
Thanks for watching the video. As you said, the red calipers would make it look more high performance. :)
Genesis is great 💪
Thank you for watching the video. Yes, GENESIS is definetely getting up there now. I was very surprised how comfortable and great the G80 was!
What trim is that?
Thanks for watching the video. The one I test drove was 3.5T AWD :)
Welp...what am I suppose to do with the 2019 Genesis G80 now...?
Thanks for watching the video. 2019 g80 is a great car, too. New models or facelifted cars are coming every month. Nothing wrong driving 2019 g80!! :)
Well, Sell it to me in a much better price. Lol

Hey, forgot, great review.
Thanks for watching the video!
11 inch long spikey hair, right? :):):)
What the hell was I thinking ? Why the hell did I announce my weight? LoL
I know I need to do more cardio, not muscle. Plus, I need to stay away from eating so much at night LoL
sadly .. you cant get in UK
well actually: www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/hyundai-luxury-brand-genesis-gears-uk-launch
Is this color black or blue?
Thank you for watching the video. The car I tested was Black :)
is this adriatic blue?
Thanks for watching the video.
No sir.
The test car was black :)
Reminds me of the cls body
Thanks for watching the video. It does look like the CLS, doesn't it? I agree with you. Many of cars today look somewhat similar. :)
Price???
Thanks for watching the video. Fully loaded 3.5T would be approximately at or around 73000USD(when converted from won to usd)
@@카티 Thanks, love you video.
WOW
Thanks for watching the video!!
I want that one
Thanks for watching the vidoe. G80 is an absilutely beautiful car. You will like it!
Genesis ist besser als Mercedes, BMW und Audi.
Ein sehr schönes Auto was auch nach Deutschland kommen muss.
Hyundai/Kia ist Super
Thank you for watching the video. I just ran the Google Translater this is what I got and hopefully this is correct.
"Genesis is better than Mercedes, BMW and Audi. A very nice car which must also come to Germany. Hyundai / Kia is great."
Thanks for sharing your idea on Genesis g80. I do not work for Genesis or get paid from them, but it sure is a good car and is up there to compete with German motors. Do you think it would sell well in Germany? :)
@@카티Unfortunately, Genesis will have the same problem as Lexus or Infiniti.
German drivers are focused on Mercedes Audi and BMW.
I am one of the people who have recognized that Koreans and Japanese can also build "Premium".
Infiniti will no longer exist in Germany in the future.
Not enough cars were sold.
Maybe 2,000 people drive the Lexus in Germany. Still, the Genesis has to come to Germany.
German cars are too expensive and boring for me. Nothing is unusual there
I personally love extravagant and elegant cars. The "Germans" don't offer me that. I wish you all the best . To oppose (good bye and bye)
That license plate is ruining the grill.
Thanks for watching the video.
Should I just get rid of the grill? LoL
@@카티 Great video! Please get rid of the license plate.😉

Cls 63 In my eyes
Thanks for watching the video. I have never driven a CLS63 before, but the looks wise, they are somewhat similar I guess
Lines are beautiful.... until you get to the rear end. Did they get tired of working on it and let their kids take over to finish it? Rear end is fucking ugly and ruins it.
Thanks for watching the video and I am terrible sorry to reply so late.
Your comment made me smile, as a matter of fact, burst out into laughter. Why? Because I was kind of thinking the same thing. The rear is great but it could have been a bit better in my opinion. But you know what? It is still good to me because what I drive is 2016 BMW 3 and 2001 Honda Prelude. Even with the ugly rear design, the car itself has advanced so much with a lot of convenient features and high techs. I actually liked it very much :)
5’11” but your hair is easily another 3”
Thanks for watching the video.
LoL probably 3" is long. I should either shave or wear a hat lol
previous model is a lot better looking
Thanks for watching the video. The Exterior, I personally like the previous model better, but what it has inside and all the high techs are so much better :)
Lane keep assist
Thanks for watching the video.
Right! Lane Keep Assist. It is very handy if one uses it well. Thank you!
My top car is 1 Lexus 2 Toyota 3 Mazda 4 Hyundai (ordinary cars
Thank you for watching the video. If you like Lexus, you would love Genesis! Test drive it if you get a chance.
Lexus has earned their respect but if you truly know the industry their vehicles are severely lack luster.. They slapped on a "sporty" grille but failed to make anything else entertaining. Besides brand prestige, and reliability, I ask drivers give me 3 points where a comparable model eg) GS or ES beats g80.. They never can. Exact same scenario with g70 vs IS.
lower the seat jeeez 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for watching the video. It was lowered at max LoL I cut my hair a little shorter instead :) :)
Just remove that grill and use it in a zoo. Then I will buy this car.
Thanks for watching the video. Hahahaha your comment made me laugh out loud. Well, the grill doesn't look that bad, does it? I mean it looks good at least in my eyes. Thanks for the laughter!
Your voice is so monotone. 🤣
Thank you for watching the video.
LoL
I am not professional, that's why. Believe or not, I am still nervouse every time I shoot new reviews. :) I hope I get better as time passes :)
Keep supporting us! Thank you!
Get a haircut. Problem solved.
Thanks for watching the video.
Yeah. I think it's the quickest way to solve the problem :)
Structure design is copied from audo a7
Thanks for sharing your opinion. Well... many cars today look somewhat similar and I wouldn't say the structure design is copied unless I have solid proof. But you know what? They DO LOOK ALIKE lol
Front look like 2012 Mercedes CLS with LEDs , sloping line and side profile like Audi, Interior is like 2016 BMW 7 series, Rear lights is like 2018 Lincoln Continental, Grill is like Bentley
Uh car is absolutely beautiful but uh this guy uh says uh too much uh
Thanks for watching the video. hahahaha sorry, I always get nervous being on TH-cam plus peaking in a different language isn't so easy lol I mean I had lived in the States but it was 20 years ago, you know? I will keep it mind. Thank you for pointing out :)
Feedback is unprofessional.
Hyundai and Genesis are getting uglier every year
Thanks for watching the video. You think so? I mean I am still not used to watching the front headlamp and the real tail lamps, but other than that everything else looks great. We all have different tastes and I agree with you, especially the New Elantra. I personally dislike the exterior.
