( www.tflcar.com ) The 2021 Genesis G80 is a new, more aggressive take on the brand's midsize luxury sedan to fight the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the Audi A6, among several others. It makes a greater effort to stand out, but have all the changes truly made it a solid alternative to its German rivals? In this video, Tommy takes a deeper dive into Genesis' new sedan.

*I currently live in South Korea and it is everywhere on the street. It looks more gorgeous and expressing more luxury than other germans brands like bmw, benz, audi etc. Well done Genesis!* 👍
Wow... so do you eat Kimchi everyday there?

Really love this car (comment comming from an german car fan)
I'm on my third Genesis (G90) now, and just love the fact that at service time I never have to go to a dealer, they'll pick up the car and drop off a new Genesis loaner and deliver my car back when finished and it's cleaned!
damn thats nice
The problem that I have with BMW and Mercedes, is that their design hasn't changed much in like 5 years.
When I was test driving vehicles, BMW and Mercedes did absolutely nothing for me. It didn't seem like I was in a new car.
I didn't test drive Audi because I wanted rear wheel drive only.
Love my Genesis G70.
Waiting for the Genesis Gv70, to replace my wife 2006 Hyundai Tucson SUV.
Love what Genesis is doing. They put together the right team.
congrats on your car brother
Zhila Muhammed I want that so bad but I wanna wait until it’s updated so I can save some money, but nothing messing with that g70 at this point, it’s the best car out rn
Darius Carter yep i agree mate. goodluck!
Zhila Muhammed 💯
Wow your wife is upgrading big time
Lexus owner here, I will say that Genesis is definitely stepping up their game. Both the G80 and GV80 are matching the big luxury brands, and with their reliability being ever increasing, they’ll give the Germans a definite run for their money on longevity.
Lexus: dressed up Toyota Camry.

Okay let me know how your timing chain is in a couple of months.
I am Korean and also one of Lexus owner. I am waiting G80 and GV80 but, there is so many mechanical problem in Korea so, it will be late little longer than expected release date. I hope they have all solutions to sell in US market.

"Can you edit here?"
Editor: Sure I'll edit him right under the bus
Yeah, guess that lil trim didn't happen!
lol
Be careful what you show and say, might get blacklisted for doing your job. Haha
No more German wheels to review ;)
This is such a luxurious vehicle. Id take it over any German car.
can you put an edit here
heh
Editor: No, I don't think I will.
That G80 is certainly a beautiful car, I had a chance to see one 'up close and personal' about 2 weeks ago, it does impress!
I love the look and style of the new Genesis. ALways thought I would get a Mercedes if I were able to afford a luxury vehicle, but... your reviews may have changed my mind!
I do like the new vehicles by Genesis, but I have to say my Wife’s Volvo S90 is super nice too. I didn’t like the E class and refuse to buy a broke down BMW.
Jonathan Losito you are right. We have the T6 in the S90 and it lacks nothing in power, but the engine is loud and buzzy outside of the car. Inside it is super quiet. The Volvo holds its own but with the T8 engine. That is only because of the electric engine. The Volvo is a lot cheaper than the G90 and has all the luxury.
I really want this as my next car. They need a AMG/M competitor.
Fingers crossed
They have N for Hyundai so getting experience time will come for mature performance options.
I don't Genesis will be getting a full blown AMG/M competitor, but something that is one notch below it. We're still waiting for the G80 Sport to replace the 5.0 V8, and the eG80 to be reveal.
They also need a EQ/I competitor as well.
Hyundai has plan to make the Genesis N also which is high performance... so, let's just wait for it lol
They should stick with those headlights and make it their “thing”. I think one of their problems is they drastically change the look of their models and the brand lacks something distinguishing. The ambiguity of “what kind of car is that?” Was fine at first but it’s time for them to get a look and really establish themselves to be a strong competitor
@Tristan Han That's not what he was saying. He was referring to keeping the distinctive new design cues, rather than drastically redesigning every so often. As an example, if you look at the Hyundai Sonata since its inception, some look like toyotas, some like jaguars, they have NOTHING in common throughout the years. But you can see clear evolutions in something like the Toyota Avalon redesigns through time. He was saying they should keep this new distinctive design even through refreshes/redesigns. In 2027, I hope the G80 then will be a clear evolution of the 2021 G80 - because I love it and I'm buying one!
why when someone compares luxury brands didn't mention Lexus most of the time or even infinity, is Lexus failed to be a luxury brand ?
Khaled EB i think the driving dynamics and settings of Genesis are more in the same category (rear wheel drive) like German luxury brands compared to japanese and american luxury brands.
I think the opposite. They aren't an innovative brand but they are built around extreme quality and reliability. They aren't chasing crazy horsepower or the newest screens and gadgets like the German companies, and they aren't trying to make German-like cars like the Korean companies. BMW, Merc, and Genesis are luxury cars you'd want to lease, because once warranty runs out of the next newest generation comes out they want you to upgrade. Where as Lexus is a luxury car you want to OWN for a long time. Because of that I think they are a successful luxury brand
Lexus cars really don’t have that wow factor like the Germans do and let’s be honest they don’t have the same status. You really don’t see big TH-camrs or celebrity’s driving around in a Lexus. They will pick a German or UK car all day. Now that’s where Genesis comes in so you have affordable car brand with German tech and luxury. All you see is bmw Mercedes and Range Rover it’s time for something new.
What’s NOT better than the Germans is the real question. They last 4 years then every cheap plastic part under the hood starts breaking or wearing out. German cars are all about (unwarranted) status, bling, and nice cushy interiors. They aren’t about reliability anymore. Those days are long gone. For those writing back, “mine has lasted a long time with no issues” good for you but: 1) you are the exception or 2) you are due for a headache or 3) you’re lying
the current 2020 Genesis G80 isn't "frumpy" 🤦🏾♂️🙄. It's a classy elegant understated design that has aged well
Just wish they kept the same engine options. turbo 4 cylinder engines in big vehicles just don't do it for me. The reliability is going to be in question in a couple of years. I am a Genesis fan but the small engine big car thing sucks.
Genesis seriously needs an option to delete all that chrome
Why? It looks nice and classy. Blacking things out looks cheaper. It's not like the chrome is excessive.
Can be wrapped if not liked then unwrapped once for sale.
SDav21 Choice is always better that’s why all major luxury brands offer it
@@CheesyBurritoCake I think deleting the chrome would take away from the design. So maybe that's why no option.
If one opts for all wheel drive then it stays in all wheel drive for the rest of its life or the driver has the power to go into 2WD because all wheel drive helps in snow but everyone wants to drive in 2WD configuration because less gas consumption
The car is adaptive, so it drives in what it sees best fit. Look up Hyundai H-trac it’ll give you an idea of how the system works.
Man these cars are beautiful. Plus the five year warranty, im sold.
I thought it was 10 year, 100k Miles just like their parent company Hyundai?
@@scottnorton9304 It is... I think 5 year is the bumper to bumper warranty
@@biglee13m oh ok. It is a great warranty
Tommy's got a great job, working with cars and his old man.
I am very fortunate. Thanks for watching
@@tomasmica325 As someone that has worked with his dad(and mom)it is a unique opportunity to have family and work combined and be able to juggle the 2 in a way that you are not at odds with each other.

@@WW-wf8tu how the father presents information and what his son carries is like heaven and earth. he looks like a big boy, but not intelligent, stupid, with a terrible speech defect and a mouth full of diction
Interesting to see genesis build a car for this category considering Lexus cancelled their GS a big nameplate even Acura and Lincoln canlled their cars in this category
It's a no brainer for me, luxurious, high tech and nowadays hyundai/genesis are pretty reliable so if I had the $ and didn't have to drive so much for work, sign me up!
The quality of BMW , Mercedes and Audi have been lacking at best . I would rather take a chance on this two vehicles that an over price money pit aka a German car .
Yeah, if I had the money I would buy a Genesis, or a Lexus if I want Toyota's reliability. I love BMW and MB, but if you buy one you're going to be the same as everyone else and maybe some quality issues that Hyundai doesn't have at least not in the same amount.
I definitely would look at a G80 if I were in the market for a luxury car. Good looking overall, just needs some tint and a less chrome option. When are these companies going to realize chrome is going out of style? That interior though, so nice! I really liked that control knob to use in lieu for the touchscreen (sorry Tommy). I have to carry a microfiber screen cloth in my truck due to the finger prints on the screen constantly.
Providing it rides well that is going to be an awesome car. I almost pulled the trigger on the last model G80 but I felt like the interior wasn't quite up to par. I went with a CLS400. I will be in the market next summer. The tech was there but the look was not. Now this might be the best looking interior in that class.
Yeah I feel as if the last gen was built more towards the older folk who were buying Crown vics and grand marquis, it was great for those folks and an easy entry point into the tech world. I’ve actually had a few people buy it because it was less intimidating than the Lexus’s they were looking at.
Hyundai and Kia highering German designers to beat the Germans can't beat em join em. The steering wheel is last gen chevy impala steering wheel ugly not a fan of the head lights. I did drive the Hyundai genesis g70 I was impressed but the getting in the rear wasn't nice lol.
Would I buy this car or a traditional Mercedes or BMW? Well, I would have purchased a Lincoln Continental over all of them, but now that it's going away because Ford gives up, I'd buy this G80 with AWD and the V6. I figure, if I'm going to plunk down as much money as half the price of a small starter home just to drive something, it might as well look this good and have the works in it, too.
As for BMW and Mercedes-Benz, they need to work on quality and find a superstar like Peter Schrayer to come teach them how to design a car with thought-provoking lines and elegance through simplicity; something they were once kings at, and now seem to be more like paupers in this field. So yeah, G80? Gimmie gimmie! 👑!
🐰
I'd like to know where I can buy a starter home for 100K
@@msalvag Assuming the price of a nicely equipped BMW or Mercedes-Benz is about 65K, x 2, would be $130,000. Now, depending upon where you live, that could get you a starter home at that price tag; not counting finance charges, taxes, assessment fees, etc..
But in your case, maybe you should begin with some reading comprehension courses, since I never actually specified an amount of money or any specific BMW or Mercedes model, so that could be anything from a $50,000 to a $120,000 car and "starter home" is exactly what that term implies. It isn't a mansion! See why you shouldn't start an argument with someone unless you've actually sorted out your thoughts first? Have a splendid evening.
@@1_Papa wasn't starting an argument. Was just a curious question with a little humor. Lighten up. And my comprehension is just fine. Can't buy a starter home for less than 600K here so, again, it was a curious question.
@@msalvag Oh so privledged and a lousy sense of humor, got it! And no, I won't "lighten up;" you should just go away is all.
Excellent video Tommy 🙂, stellar quality. Genesis marches to the beat of its own drummer.
long time BMW owner here. performance is very important aspect for me to choose a vehicle but look of this car makes me think twice.
It’s still a boring korean car
Exterior styling is sharp, has a really slinky fluid look. Basically is what Audi could have done with a more talented design team. Interior design exceeds anything that Audi or BMW has ever thought about. I wonder if the resale value will beat the German competition ??
Cool review bud! However people including reviewers who are praising about these Genesis cars here and there and planning to get one, truth is when they go buy one, most of ‘em ended up picking a BMW or Audi. Badge fact or quality is still way north?
Ok bad the G80 cloned the first generation A7 in its design approach. The profile is essentially a 2-inch taller A7. The grille is gaudy and the light treatment is okay. This guy taking about BMW disproportionate grilled - did he not look at the front of this car?
Keeping My '18 G80 5.0 Htrac . I think the New design is ugly , Plus no V/8 and I like the Analog clock in mine which I don't see in the new one . It's little features like that give the interior character .
Genesis is the best. Let me explain; Quality is guaranteed by a 10yr/100k miles warranty for a real peace of mind. Maintenance is also way cheaper than the German or other luxury car competitors in the segment.
Just awful. Love the car but! Who is your camera man. Does he not understand white balance on his rinky dinky camera or exposure. And the host is the most rambling simp I have ever seen. Do better or just stop. Please.
Is it just me or does the 2020 G80 still look really good, best in class even. When i see one in person especially at night or with the pano roof open I'm like dang that looks good.
Tristan Han I think it looks really good still. I need to see this one in person, I think the GV80 looks the better of two.
It's funny you say BMW grill is uncomfortably proportioned when standing next to the G80 grill...way too large and chintzy looking.
I'd rather get the G80 which is more unique & rare than get a 5 series or E Class which are so common on the road already. The Genesis G80 almost looks likes a Bentley inside & out for less than Bentley money & that's a great thing
I already placed my deposit
No edits allowed😋
Yes indeed
I work for Hyundai/Genesis in sales right outside of Chicago, still waiting to get our 2021 G80’s and GV80’s in. Cant wait
I'd rather buying G80 than German cars. German cars are not worth to buy and broken often and high maintenance costs..Bye German cars!!!
Genesis is taking a page from Lexus' playbook circa 1989. A better can for less money than the Germans.
Nobody cares about genesis. Looks like a mix of every other bmw or Audi. They barely sell any of the genesis brand.
ALL turbos are bad for engines, will never last over 80k miles. Google Ford issues with the Eco garbage.
The chrome trim on the B-pillar is grossly misaligned, which perhaps most Germans wouldn’t allow.
I really like the design language of the recent Genesis range. It looks good! I hope Hyundai sticks with it.
Lovely that,, nice. BMW will be back one day though. It woz ever since they got Bangelized.
BMW will only be back when they stop making cars meant to be leased rather than owned.
Very nice car. Price will indicate how many they sell.
I really like the car, but ill wait till it depreciates to buy buy it. 😔
You gotta lease...
I don't think I've seen a single Genesis around here but I want this car
He's like the Bill Nye of Car reviews

Most cars are premium now. There's no better, just cheaper or more expensive...

Its weird that I could only came up with 10 countries brand... there will be alot more than I know right?
I probably missed a lot of it! so could you please name the global brand (which everybody Knows in the world) and country both please?
Your list makes no sense. You list Bentley and Mini as being German, but don't list Jaguar/Land Rover as being Indian.
@@LearnAboutFlow you are right since I'm not that professional... I just wanted to get some informations...
This car is freaking gorgeous!!!!
Planning to check out either this or gv80 when they come out.
Ugly car is not the right stuff. Genesis G80, dead upon seeing it.
I wasn’t too sure if you thought the car and suv looked cool!!!? 😂
I'm sorry it may look nice but until its driven and we see how it actually performs it's just another nice looking car yet unproven.
The previous models, and overall reliability of the manufacturers other vehicles is a great highly accurate indicator
Is this the top trim in the US? Rear seat in Korea gets a control center in the rear arm rest like any luxurious car does. I felt the Korean didn't bring all the good features to the US market so they don't have to repair them under their super long warranty.
Mercedes design is lost in the woods? I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. They are putting out some of the most classically proportioned and beautiful cars we've seen in 20+ years. These cars will look good for many, many years into the future, both interior and exterior, and the language is cohesive throughout the brand. You can complement Genesis on their design too, but don't try and denigrate MB in the process. Both can be good.
First off, I like the G80 and the GV80 and if I had the money, I would certainly go for the GV80. Now, with you reviewing cars and making critical comments (such as the ones about BMW, Mercedes) I am being critical once again with your camera (Smart phone) use in your videos. When it's you doing the review Tommy, Whomever you have doing the camera work is really not good. I feel like I should be bumping into your constantly while watching. The holder of the Camera is TOO CLOSE and Zooms in Too Often. The limitations of a Cell Phone being used for this purpose simply don't make it a great tool for the job, OR, the person using it just doesn't know what he is doing. Some people can actually get motion sickness with this much constant moving around of the camera and won't watch simply on that point alone. Back off with the Camera a few feet, Be more Steady and STOP Trying to inspect Tommy's skin with the Zoom!
When you find out that the g80 and gv80 have matrix style intelligent front lighting systems with 128 individual LEDs:😱😲. With this headlight system you'd never have to turn off your high beams because they dynamically split the beams to make way for cars and pedestrians. I was puzzled because the headlights were projector beam instead of reflector and I didn't know it could be done. But they did it🙌.
Great cars and great reviewer, keep it coming !
There is a reason why every luxury car is compared to German luxury cars
It is incredible how Hyundai manages a steady progress from bottom-shelf crap towards a world-class vehicles. Having said that, while the previous G80 was a bit of a snoozer, this exterior while definitely unique, just doesn't do it for me. At all. The head/tail lights are interesting to be sure but for me vertical stack arrangements just don't work on a sedan. The interior however, simple, elegant and a very nice place to be for sure.
Am I the only person who wishes they called the gv80 just the v80? It rolls off the tongue so much better
Most likely would be sued by Volvo. Tesla wanted to call the Model 3 the Model E, but Mercedes had the trademark even though that car line is technically called the E Class and never referred to as the Mercedes Model E..
Well it depends .. BMW Mercedes and Audi .. brand new are awesome cars .. but what after 6 7 or 8 years they are garbage ... I don’t think the hundai will ever be able to match anyone of those brands in terms of tech , engines, and luxury.. Becuse the Germans do make great engines and new cars .. I don’t see Hyundai ever over takin them ... but if it’s a lot cheaper and sort similar than it’s a good buy .. I guess
My dad has the 5 liter V8 in his '13 Genesis and Ive got to tell you that is a very underrated motor. It has the exact hp his 300 SRT8 had. Amazing !! I really like these new Genesis'. Might be on my short list for my next ride.
Can you edit here lol nope were leaving it
I personally like the exterior design of my 2015 Hyundai Genesis over the new design. Although, I will take that INTERIOR 👍, Great Job Genesis!
I love it. I believe they should watch out. The only problem is that the G80 doesn't get the inline 6 diesel. Only the GV80 does. That's a deal breaker. The E Class, A6 and 5 series all have inline 6 diesel options.
I hope they bring out a high output halo version to attract more enthusiasts to the showroom. V8TT would be interesting. Lexus have already been rumored to be sporting a V8TT in their next flagship.
That sir what you call “chrome” isn’t Chrome. Real chrome has weight to it, that’s just chrome like plastic. Nice looking car though seen some on the road.
Almost like you would smash Mercedes Cadillac and Audi together.
Like you would eat strawberry chocolate and banana ice cream mixed up.
Yes the G80 for me. Maybe my pocketbook says K5.
It seemed you weren't as enthusiastic with the G80 compared to the GV80. Do you think the GV80 would be a better pick?
Where is Genesis hybrids? BEV?
The $60,000 Cadillac Lyric will be a better deal than GV80.
that grill is elegant???? what's wrong with american's taste?
Who needs German so called luxury cars anymore? The only thing I question myself is: which one of these do I like more?
I’ve always been partial to BMWs (and sometimes Audi) but I love what Genesis is doing. I would love a version of these with a little bit more lean toward sportiness.
I will definitely go for the Genesis over any german
If 3 dimesion cluster disrupting you or hard to get used to it, actually you can turn off 3D mode and use it just normally So do not worry about it!
New 5 series bmw face-lift looks really class. Genesis 80 is competing with 5 series or 7 series?
It looks better than 7 series i think.
both cars are fricken GORGEOUS!
I don’t think you filmed this in August. Not enough smoke over there past the Flatirons.
Love my German cars, but damn they look good. Do they drive better or equal to the Germans?
I would buy this if it was all electric. ICE vehicles are going to melt away....
Quick question: I've had my heart set on the new G70, but it seems like the face lift is now another year away.
I'm 6'5" and haven't been able to sit in a g70 yet. Should I just forget waiting the g70 and start focusing on the g80 given my size?
Yes. G70 is not really meant for tall people. I'm 5' 7" lol there is a plenty of leg room for the front seats but even at my height, no adult can sit comfortably behind the driver's seat.
Great car, just so you know, the gauges are copied from Aston Martin.
Cant wait for the GV80, want to help my mother get one, she needs something begter than her problematic chrysler
i am a big s class fan but this looks better quality materials, fit and finish than latest s class
A chevette is better than any German pos
Less you of you and more of the car...
