What a sweet car. I had the opportunity to drive the V6 and I was extremely impressed in all areas. I'm not sure I'll be able to afford one any time soon, but it makes my 2012 Kia Optima SX seem like a Daewoo. Bravo, Hyundai.
I own a 2015 Genesis loaded like this one and like it. We've had some issues with the tires and had some expensive Michelin's put on and it rides and handles better. Overall its a great car with a ton of features!!

Who would have ever thought that 10 years ago that Hyundai would be a major player in the luxury car segment. Can you imagine what it will produce 10 years from now.
So, the video was uploaded 4 mins ago and it has 3 dislikes. Haters, please watch the video before pushing dislike button. They are like frekin' robots - pushing dislike everytime they see new video. I just fucking hate this kind of people.
clovis myers and some people just dislike any video that they watch and i dont even know why. im did something like that 3 years ago and i still wonder why i did that
One of the more comprehensive videos I've seen on this car. You cover practically everything; the only thing missing that I would like to see is what the interior display looks like at night.
I've been seen a lot of comments about how Hyundai copied other brands. In what way did they copy? Yes, the grill looks like Aston Martin's, but from perspective a ton of cars have some similar designs. Like the Ford Fusion and its grill. You have have to give kudos to Hyundai to make such a gorgeous and luxurious car (my dad owns the new one) and from where they came from. It's just amazing to see how much they've accomplished!
I know it's not. It's just a general idea, on how people are so concerned how this car copies others. I'm not talking about luxury or anything like that. Just the design..
Sam Mehta I can't speak for everyone. . But I know when I buy luxury I want it to stand out.. have personality.. u know what it is when I pull up.. this looks like a nice car.. but I would have to look for a badge to see what it is.. just lacks personality
DSNCB919 The thing is that it does have a personality. The design cues are all used widely in Hyundai products. The grille is the hexagonal grille used in ALL Hyundais. The taillights are arched with a central connecting piece, which is found in the Sonata, Elantra, Aslan, and Azera/Grandeur. You're only saying this because the car doesn't have a three-spoked star, blue/white circle, or four interconnected Olympics rings as the badge.
This car fits me well I work my butt off and put a roof over my families head , in Los Angeles Ca. I would love a Audi , Beamer , or Benz , but I Wouldn’t be able to afford it comfortably . So I picked up one of these recently 15 model , with less than 50k miles for 15k . It’s all the luxury I could ever want with a extremely affordable price . Suits me well , when i pull up to new job sites or possible customers they always ask what kind of car it is . I often respond with “ the new Bentley !” Followed by an immediate naw it’s a Hyundai ! Believe me when I say the look on the engineers face is priceless. Hahah I love it !
Hopefully, I’ll be in a 2016 in just a few weeks. Only 42K for $22,990. Listen, the interior is sexy as hell and videos give these cars no justice! When you actually sit in one and test drive it…..it’s LITERALLY a dream!!!! I JUST learned of this car and when I found it online, I’ve had my eyes glued to it. Drove it and fell in love LITERALLY! They tried to put me in it without a down payment, but I’m no dummy. I want a good, comfortable car payment, so I can keep my car! I will be buying this in a few weeks and can’t wait to wash and detail it. This car is beyond AMAZING!!!! It’s still under the radar, but when people really learn of it, watch. The fact that I know stories of people who owned BMW, Mercedes, Lexus and TRADED IN their cars for this one lets you know just because it’s big by name doesn’t always make it better!
I'm gonna check out a 2015 tomorrow, that has less then 40K miles and it's coming from a 4 - 4 1/2 star dealership, but it's a Lexus dealership. They know my family, I'm gonna throw my weight around and get it for 20-21K max, if I like it.
I would definitely buy this car. It's cheap, both in maintenance and insurance, you got everything you could possible think of for 50-60k (depending on model) and its REALLY good looking. Too bad there are to many brand fixated brats out there who complains about this car without even thinking. U can never get a german car for that price with that much tech inside, and the only way however is to buy a used one, but good lucking paying for maintenance and insurance for that one lol
That's true, and the ones who prefer a german car can't even afford one but are quick to say "I don't want that, it's a Hyundai". Hyundai has come a long way and they get better every year. I'm gonna go test drive this car and check it out up close!
blues03 Go see this car at the dealership; you'll be amazed. I've driven the V6, V6 AWD, and the fully loaded V8 Ultimate which I'm definitely going with. They look amazing in person especially in Blue and White, but I'm a Silver guy. I just love this car lol, fuck those blind opinions about Hyundai, they don't matter.
Amazing piece of machinery. Idk what ppl say. This is one well design car with lots of premium features. Not to mention the Safest car on the planet earth according to IIHS top safety plus we with superior crash prevention. No BMW no maserati or other Germans cars offer that.
Thank you very much for this video! Just sold a Genesis Sedan and customer is taking delivery tomorrow.. definitely looked to you for the in depth review as always!
man hyundai has come along way over the years. i remember when they started back in 1986 with the excel which was a piece of junk but know they have some of the nicest cars built now
***** Yeah, but the V6 model is similarly priced to a decently optioned Impala. So in some ways they do compete for people's money. Honestly I'd still choose the Chevy.
An excellent review of an excellent car. It's a shame that so many people let "brand snobbery" stop them from appreciating this car, despite the fact that I'm sure most of them have never driven it. One of the things I applaud Hyundai for is giving us a luxury car that puts the emphasis on comfort and a plush ride, rather than sportiness. To many luxury sedans try to be sports cars and have rides that'll shake your fillings out.. If you want a sports car, go buy a sports car. I don't want another 4000+ lb "sports" sedan. I want a long-distance luxo-cruiser that'll take me and three others on a long trip and make me feel calm, relaxed, and refreshed at the end of it. The Genesis delivers.
This car looks amazing in person with the bottom LED strips and the headlight LEDs on, it really stands out and fits in nicely with the Audi A7 and Mercedes CLS in terms of shape and size (while being nowhere near the price). It really should be seen in person, it looks great, especially for this price segment.
Saabkyle you're the best. You have the most detailed reviews and it's not boring, it's fun and cool. I love your videos and I wanted this video. Hopefully in the future when the jaguar xe comes out Maybe you can do a video. That will be amazing, from a loyal subscriber- Kishen aka the saabkyle video lover XD
This new Genesis is such a huge improvement over the last generation! And it sure is a looker! Any idea if you're gonna do the 2015 Acura TLX and/or 2015 Toyota Camry?
Outstanding presentation, thanks for going to all the work to cover this car so completely. I think it is the best video on the 2015 Hyundai on TH-cam. Maximum useful information and fabulous photography. As I said, outstanding work.
Amazing review! I wanted more information on the Genesis before I get it as my first car and I learned a lot more useful stuff about it. My favorite feature would probably be the automatic trunk. I was originally going to get the Veloster Turbo, but the Genesis is more of my type of car. Thanks Kyle, keep up the good work!
This car is amazing I liked it before the redesign and now it's amazing . I remember when it was just a concept now it's actually on the roads with no design changes. Hyundai really outdone themselves .
Wow, that's a whoooole lot of car for under 60K! My wife has a 2012 Sonata SE and her dream luxury car is a BMW; after seeing this I think she should reconsider, this car is amazing in and out for the price.
mentioned this before but give kudos to their engineers to bring such eye candy. Aston Martin front, Lexus LS back, BMW gear and dial looks and a mixture of everything for the center console and dashboard. Hyundai EQUUS got the Benz front and end looks. Edit: I forgot to mention the KIA K900 got the Jaguar front grille ;-) and this definitely has a replica of the BMW gear stick and functionality.
***** meant to say the Lexus GS and I think someone mentioned that it kinda looks like one of the Sonata's as well. Infinity has a similar look as well.
Yet if this was badged under a different auto brand you wouldn't bitch right? Socially engineered robot are you? Do you have an inferiority complex? Let me guess, you own everything apple related?
I've had 2 separate people say "How do you like your 200?" And "Is that a 200?" One primarily saw it from the rear and I see no resemblance to the 200 at all! Any thoughts from you guys?
> replica of the BMW gear stick and functionality wat. You mean, the gear stick that BMW uses is designed and manufactured by ZF transmissions? And that ZF transmissions also sells to other auto-manufacturers? >Aston Martin front, Lexus LS back, BMW gear and dial looks and a mixture of everything for the center console and dashboard Hyundai has used the oversized grille in many of their vehicles, starting with several concept cars they deputed in the 2000s. The rear looks nothing like the Lexus. The rear uses the arched-taillight design where the taillights are connected by an arch which extends off the trunk lid a bit. This is more of a German design cue, but all automotive design students are taught this design element because it simply looks good. Hyundai's gearshifts are distinctly different to those from other companies. It looks nothing like the aforementioned ZF transmission shifter. The interior is also special to Peter Shreyer. Peter Shreyer = Steve Jobs of automotive design. All auto-design students admire him.
My siblings drive Mercedes, Lexus, and BMW. Three days ago I bought a 2015 Genesis, and I can tell you that it is equal in every way -- looks, performance, handling, comfort, features, safety, and build quality -- to their German/Japanese marquee cars. Even better, the Genesis I just bought with 39K miles on it looks brand new inside and out and, equipped with every feature available, cost me under $25K out the door. The only thing my "new" car doesn't have is the perceived prestige of Mercedes or Lexus, but I kind of like having a car this good that turns heads and is a joy to drive, but is still flying a bit under the radar. And I also like keeping as much money in my pocket as possible.
I can't stand reading the comments on any Hyundai or Kia videos, just a bunch of ignorant people that have never actually driven or been in a Hyundai or Kia.
Excellent demo on the car. What I like about you is you focus on the car, not what you like or don't like as so many do! I want to learn about a vehicle.
The 2015 Hyundai Genesis looks very dominant and attractive. I bet guys buy this car just to get the girls. Actually this is what's happening in LA at the moment. So many rich guys in their 20s and 30s are buying the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, it's crazy.
Gianluca Cannavo I bough the 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.8L V6 2 weeks ago and it's the best luxury car I've ever driven. Previous car was the 2006 BMW 530i. The AWD transmission is the best thing about this car.
Great job on the vehicle review! I've owned a Genesis for about 6 months now and found your information and opinions to be quite accurate. I didn't even know I had a self closing trunk!. I drove Audis for decades and bought this for the value and regular gas. It has all the power I need and gets plenty of positive comments at the gas stations. You forgot to mention it also has a "snow" mode. Can't wait to try it in these Montana winters! BTW,my Genesis, doesn't even carry a Hyundai badge. People ask me what it is. Plus 30+MPG highway.
The 2015 Hyundai Genesis is on par with the BMW 5 series (actually the AWD transmission makes it beat the BMW 5 series) and far far superior than anything that Lexus makes. Hyundai is a high-tech company that makes jet engines for Lockheed Martin and Boeing. They are far more technologically advanced than Toyota/Lexus/Nissan.
StealthTechz Hyundai is very high tech and the 2015 Genesis is proof of that. The 2015 Genesis is built like a tank. And yes I'm full aware that Hyundai is more than just a car company.
I have to say I wasn't really in a "Hyundai state of mind" while looking at different cars and dreaming of something cutting edge... But this car is fairly impressive, especially given the price point. I'd get it in black!
To quell some of the snarky remarks on WHO would buy this car... A man that has a 2014 S-class and a 2013 Range Rover in the driveway. He lives in one the most coveted zip codes in my state that is a mecca for big money. I love it when the upper crust buys these cars. They will be the trendsetters. Not Joe Blow that has just enough money to pay for a used BMW, financed for 7 years. The world is full of big snobs with small pocket books.
I was thinking about buying a LEXUS 460L,but this is cheaper,less miles,it has a remote starter,I really like the overall look of the exterior compared to the Lexus exterior,the Genesis just might be the car for me...Great video my man,do you know of any major problems with this car over the years???? I just subscribed,you my man are a DETAILED reviewer....
senor250 kind of a pointless question because the only BMW you'll get for the same price would be a 3 series. obviously everyone would rather have a 7 series but it costs like 3 times as much as this hyundai
My 2012 Kia optima is my dream machine....leather, heated and cooled front seats, panoramic roof, auto dual climate control, heated steering wheel, and let's face it ...these two companies and so entwined, I see the options on my car all over their newest offerings. Love my car!!
People just love to hate on this because of the brand! It makes me laugh tbh! This car is an absolutely beautiful creation but a quickly rising company! You can get a BMW 3 or 4 series or a 2015 C class and it still won't go close to the amount of creature comforts this thing will and you have an option of a V8. Absolute stunner in person and comes with one of the best warranties out there! Not that you really need one with Hyundai's dependability! Going to look at one this week. Absolute beauty.
Just bought one of these (now called the Genesis G80.) Just wanted to thank Kyle for his always awesome reviews-- I watch every video and really enjoy his passion for cars and comprehensive and well-thought-out commentary.
Agree,people think if they gave a lot of money for bmw.mersedec or audi then they are "cool".No,because car must give you quality reliability and safity,not a car services everyday.
badass uploads +1. Hyundai is actually the world's most technologically advanced car maker. They manufacture high tech parts for advanced aircraft and fighter jets for Lockheed Martin and Boeing. You don't see that with other car manufacturers. Hyundai cars are very high quality and reliable.
I'll be going for an extended test drive in this very model tomorrow, including color and interior. If that goes well, than this is the car for me. Especially after watching your in depth video review for this car. I appreciate reviews like yours, keep up the good work.
Hi Kyle. Thanks for another fine, comprehensive review. I was wondering if you have driven the V-8 version of this car and, if so, how it compares. I was also hoping you could do a review of the 2015 Hyundai Equus for us. Thanks.
This is car is cool. I would get it. It's fine if you don't like it but make that decision AFTER you go look at it up close and TEST DRIVE the damn thing! Don't just dismiss it because it's not a Benz, BMW, Lexus or Infiniti (and if your azz is broke you won't be buying NOBODY'S car anyway so what difference does it make?) ALL cars need maintenance regardless of who builds it!!!!
Fantastic offering and tremendous value. The only thing i'm not thrilled about is the interior dash. Looks like it could have been nicer based on other models in the lineup having a more sculpted and flowing dash. One thing I noted from the video is how nice the shifts sound. Nice and crisp instead of that rubber band like drone from gear to gear. Very neat.
I've already said this on a previous Genesis review and I will say it again. The Genesis is a fine car and way better than what you'd expect from a Hyundai. It's only problem is that it's a Hyundai. There's nothing wrong with it, but many people still find Hyundais "pretty lame". Which is a damn shame, because they've come a long way from their crappy econoboxes from a long time ago to making great cars that actually brings some punch to the Germans and the Japanese. And no, I'm not Korean. I know that because I've been in a 2014 Santa Fe and it's a fine car. It also looks great. And for the record, my family owns 2 Nissans. If I had the money, this would be a serious consideration. It is tremendous value-for-money.
I was sceptical, but I need to say - I'm surprised after your review. It's a really good looking car, I seriously wouldn't mind owning one. I can only imagine someone's trouble when choosing a car from this particular price range. It's really nice to see Kia and Hyundai taking their step into this class. Great review as always!
It's great to see just how far Hyundai and Kia have come. Very nice car, I'd take this over a new Mercedes any day. Still too much technology for me, but it has the traditional things that I need to have, such as analog speedometer and tach and a regular transmission/shifter that isn't completely electronic.
I don't get the hate for this car. It offers a pretty decent alternative to an E Class or 5 Series, it's also cheaper than either one. I also think it looks nicer than the Benz and it has more standard features like navigation and back up camera. I guess this is a car for those with self-esteem that don't care to be seen in a Hyundai. Self-esteemless buyer beware, however, you're better off in your entry level German "luxury" sedan.
It has nothing to do with self esteem.. most luxury buyers want a car with tradition history.. why do people buy Polo instead of uspa? Hyundai will always be the store brand at the grocery store.. do u buy minute maid orange juice or great value?
Dipshit excuse used to defend a piece of shit product they like. "Oh no, you just can't afford it!" Speaking of scubs... If anyone with a brain had the money to afford this, understood remotely anything about cars, they wouldn't even look at this shitbox.
People say: 50k on a hyundai? No fuckin way! Hyundai is shit! Hyundai is a poor mans luxury car! Blah blah blah! I dont get why people cant see the point, the genesis is an affordable option, and more reliable option for those looking for a luxury sedan! Its like a GTR of the luxury sedan segment! Then... 100k on a nissan? No fuckin way! Nissan is shit! Nissan GTR is a poor mans supercar! That should be your thought if you think paying 50k on a value worthy luxury hyundai is an absurd...
Who the fuck are you to say Nissan or Hyundai is shit!?! Your just sad cause you can't afford neither gtr or genesis!! You people need to stop comparing prices to the brand. Car companies price the more upscale cars with a higher price EVEN if its not a high end brand like Mercedes. Fuckin stupid you people think brands like Nissan or Hyundai can't build a high end car with a higher price. STOP LOOKING AT WHAT THE BRAND IS AND FOCUS ON THE QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, AND LOOKS! Not brand and say "oh it's a piece of junk!
Haahahhhahahah your stupidity makes me laugh! U said exactly what i did! Im not saying nissan or hyundai are shit, i like both! What i said was exactly this, brands with more prestige or less doesnt matter
It's really fucking annoying when people who know nothing about cars spout shit because they are the typical idiototic majority and can't swallow the fact that Mercedes, BMW, and audi arn't as great as they are hyped up to be. It's like everyone who thinks Apple is the greatest company but fail to realize they haven't come up with anything innovative in the past 5 and now is just adapting andriod companies like Samsung, LG, HTC, etc.
Very informative video I don't think there was a single feature you missed but the proof is in the test drive so off to the nearest Hyundai dealer we go to see how well trained the salesmen are on this high-tech wonder......tootles
i like his older videos alot more better, from like 2-3 years ago, he tends to overdue the information rambling, at first it was straight to the point with also including the necessary information along the way
People who say that this car is shit because it's a Hyundai are not true petrol/gear heads. Cars make cars, NOT brand names! And this car is beautiful, so nice to see them stepping up their game!
Thats all cool and all but what about the reliability of the car, people forget that this is a Hyundai car and will probably break after 3 years of use and the maintenance will be at a luxury car's price.
Hyundai still offers the best warranty 10 year/100,000 miles which is the highest out there. If they were afraid of it breaking down after 3 years, they wouldn't include such big liabilities.
I drive a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe that has absolutely ZERO problems. EVER. My parents each have 2013 Elantra's with no problems. Hyundai is so underestimated, they're great cars.
I love this car! Hyundai did an outstanding job with the exterior/Interior design. Can't beat Hyundai's 100k warranty!
Just purchased my G80 2 weeks. I love this car. Rides smooth, amazing feature. And the panoramic view is something to die for
What a sweet car. I had the opportunity to drive the V6 and I was extremely impressed in all areas. I'm not sure I'll be able to afford one any time soon, but it makes my 2012 Kia Optima SX seem like a Daewoo. Bravo, Hyundai.
I've drive the 6 cyl for the last7 months, this is the most comprehensive review I've seen until now.
I own a 2015 Genesis loaded like this one and like it. We've had some issues with the tires and had some expensive Michelin's put on and it rides and handles better. Overall its a great car with a ton of features!!
Overall!
Michelin world leader......in tyres
Hyundai replaced the Hankook tires with Michelins at no cost under warranty . I guess enough owners complained
Any major problems over the years????

The 2015 Genesis is actually one of the coolest cars I've come across.
This new Genesis is such a huge improvement over the last generation! And it sure is a looker! Any idea if you're gonna do the 2015 Acura TLX and/or 2015 Toyota Camry?
Outstanding presentation, thanks for going to all the work to cover this car so completely. I think it is the best video on the 2015 Hyundai on TH-cam. Maximum useful information and fabulous photography. As I said, outstanding work.
Amazing review! I wanted more information on the Genesis before I get it as my first car and I learned a lot more useful stuff about it. My favorite feature would probably be the automatic trunk. I was originally going to get the Veloster Turbo, but the Genesis is more of my type of car. Thanks Kyle, keep up the good work!
This car is amazing I liked it before the redesign and now it's amazing . I remember when it was just a concept now it's actually on the roads with no design changes. Hyundai really outdone themselves .
My everyday sedan! Awesome review bro.
Wow, that's a whoooole lot of car for under 60K! My wife has a 2012 Sonata SE and her dream luxury car is a BMW; after seeing this I think she should reconsider, this car is amazing in and out for the price.
mentioned this before but give kudos to their engineers to bring such eye candy. Aston Martin front, Lexus LS back, BMW gear and dial looks and a mixture of everything for the center console and dashboard. Hyundai EQUUS got the Benz front and end looks.
Edit: I forgot to mention the KIA K900 got the Jaguar front grille ;-) and this definitely has a replica of the BMW gear stick and functionality.
***** meant to say the Lexus GS and I think someone mentioned that it kinda looks like one of the Sonata's as well. Infinity has a similar look as well.
Hahaha ok
Yet if this was badged under a different auto brand you wouldn't bitch right?
Socially engineered robot are you?
Do you have an inferiority complex?
Let me guess, you own everything apple related?
I've had 2 separate people say "How do you like your 200?" And "Is that a 200?" One primarily saw it from the rear and I see no resemblance to the 200 at all! Any thoughts from you guys?
> replica of the BMW gear stick and functionality
wat. You mean, the gear stick that BMW uses is designed and manufactured by ZF transmissions? And that ZF transmissions also sells to other auto-manufacturers?
>Aston Martin front, Lexus LS back, BMW gear and dial looks and a mixture of everything for the center console and dashboard
Hyundai has used the oversized grille in many of their vehicles, starting with several concept cars they deputed in the 2000s. The rear looks nothing like the Lexus. The rear uses the arched-taillight design where the taillights are connected by an arch which extends off the trunk lid a bit. This is more of a German design cue, but all automotive design students are taught this design element because it simply looks good. Hyundai's gearshifts are distinctly different to those from other companies. It looks nothing like the aforementioned ZF transmission shifter. The interior is also special to Peter Shreyer.
Peter Shreyer = Steve Jobs of automotive design. All auto-design students admire him.
My siblings drive Mercedes, Lexus, and BMW. Three days ago I bought a 2015 Genesis, and I can tell you that it is equal in every way -- looks, performance, handling, comfort, features, safety, and build quality -- to their German/Japanese marquee cars. Even better, the Genesis I just bought with 39K miles on it looks brand new inside and out and, equipped with every feature available, cost me under $25K out the door.
The only thing my "new" car doesn't have is the perceived prestige of Mercedes or Lexus, but I kind of like having a car this good that turns heads and is a joy to drive, but is still flying a bit under the radar. And I also like keeping as much money in my pocket as possible.
I can't stand reading the comments on any Hyundai or Kia videos, just a bunch of ignorant people that have never actually driven or been in a Hyundai or Kia.
KiiA sportage lol
Both cars suck
@@trouble7604your mom sucks
Literally just bought this car yesterday. March 2024. This car is sooo beautiful.
How's the car? I'd love to buy this. Also, high insurance?
for $42,000 i would take it anyday this is my dream car
You can get it now.for $12000...
Konjo Mar damn what a deal!
@@SPORTSSAB777 a used one or a new one?
@@hichkasbinam8507 Obviously used
Excellent demo on the car. What I like about you is you focus on the car, not what you like or don't like as so many do! I want to learn about a vehicle.
The 2015 Hyundai Genesis looks very dominant and attractive. I bet guys buy this car just to get the girls. Actually this is what's happening in LA at the moment. So many rich guys in their 20s and 30s are buying the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, it's crazy.
Gianluca Cannavo I bough the 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.8L V6 2 weeks ago and it's the best luxury car I've ever driven. Previous car was the 2006 BMW 530i. The AWD transmission is the best thing about this car.
David Bennett Nice dude. I'm really interested in buying one as well. Will see in july/august this year.
Gianluca Cannavo In Brasil Hyundai is VERY popular~!
Gianluca Cannavo is it very expensive though considering it is competing it the same market as MB and BMW?
Yes.
Hyundai has really stepped up their game in the last few years, i definitely dig their new vehicles
Great review bro- Thank you! Just purchased an Ibiza blue 2016 Genesis with your help!
Congratulations, that Ibiza Blue is stunning. I'm sure you get compliments all the time.
Any major problems over the years????
MERCEDESBENZS600 BASH nothing whatsoever. Car was solid and secondhand buys should be very affordable. Would consider the GV80 and E80
@@L1GHT119 Great to know,much appreciated...
Great job on the vehicle review! I've owned a Genesis for about 6 months now and found your information and opinions to be quite accurate. I didn't even know I had a self closing trunk!. I drove Audis for decades and bought this for the value and regular gas. It has all the power I need and gets plenty of positive comments at the gas stations. You forgot to mention it also has a "snow" mode. Can't wait to try it in these Montana winters! BTW,my Genesis, doesn't even carry a Hyundai badge. People ask me what it is. Plus 30+MPG highway.
The 2015 Hyundai Genesis is on par with the BMW 5 series (actually the AWD transmission makes it beat the BMW 5 series) and far far superior than anything that Lexus makes.
Hyundai is a high-tech company that makes jet engines for Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
They are far more technologically advanced than Toyota/Lexus/Nissan.
StealthTechz Hyundai is very high tech and the 2015 Genesis is proof of that. The 2015 Genesis is built like a tank. And yes I'm full aware that Hyundai is more than just a car company.
StealthTechz Hyundai is also the world's largest shipbuilder.
StealthTechz The 2015 Genesis looks high quality!
Stefan Schmidt Nice! Never knew that.
Its bigger than a 5 series too, more spacious.
I have to say I wasn't really in a "Hyundai state of mind" while looking at different cars and dreaming of something cutting edge... But this car is fairly impressive, especially given the price point. I'd get it in black!
To quell some of the snarky remarks on WHO would buy this car... A man that has a 2014 S-class and a 2013 Range Rover in the driveway. He lives in one the most coveted zip codes in my state that is a mecca for big money. I love it when the upper crust buys these cars. They will be the trendsetters. Not Joe Blow that has just enough money to pay for a used BMW, financed for 7 years. The world is full of big snobs with small pocket books.
I was thinking about buying a LEXUS 460L,but this is cheaper,less miles,it has a remote starter,I really like the overall look of the exterior compared to the Lexus exterior,the Genesis just might be the car for me...Great video my man,do you know of any major problems with this car over the years???? I just subscribed,you my man are a DETAILED reviewer....
im sick of all these people hating on hyundai. ooh like your favorite german and american cars never copied anyone -_-
But given the choice, would you buy a BMW or a Hyundai ?
senor250
hyundai!
senor250 kind of a pointless question because the only BMW you'll get for the same price would be a 3 series. obviously everyone would rather have a 7 series but it costs like 3 times as much as this hyundai
But wouldn't choose a 3 series over a Hyundai?
probably a lexus
As of right now my dad has this car I love driving it, it feels so powerful and light, when really its got 301-401 HP and is like 5000 pounds
Best reviews ever!!!
My 2012 Kia optima is my dream machine....leather, heated and cooled front seats, panoramic roof, auto dual climate control, heated steering wheel, and let's face it ...these two companies and so entwined, I see the options on my car all over their newest offerings. Love my car!!
shopwithaaron Looking at this one to give the 2012 Optima to my other half...Just wish the V6 mileage weren't so poor and it wasn't so heavy!
This car Really looks like much more beatiful than the 2014 A4 Audi,,,,,,
People just love to hate on this because of the brand! It makes me laugh tbh! This car is an absolutely beautiful creation but a quickly rising company! You can get a BMW 3 or 4 series or a 2015 C class and it still won't go close to the amount of creature comforts this thing will and you have an option of a V8. Absolute stunner in person and comes with one of the best warranties out there! Not that you really need one with Hyundai's dependability! Going to look at one this week. Absolute beauty.
Was gonna go with a 2018 Chrysler 300S soon but I really like this car !
Genesis G80 is better than Chrysler 300 in sound
Just bought one of these (now called the Genesis G80.) Just wanted to thank Kyle for his always awesome reviews-- I watch every video and really enjoy his passion for cars and comprehensive and well-thought-out commentary.
Love the welcome chime!
You did a great job and very detailed about this car. Keep up the great work...
Fuck a bmw,mercedesbenz and audi! This is where its at.its affordable,luxurious as fuck, beautiful.
Im all about korean cars!
Agree,people think if they gave a lot of money for bmw.mersedec or audi then they are "cool".No,because car must give you quality reliability and safity,not a car services everyday.
I have 2 bmw's and and I love them but I am about to purchase the hyundai genesis but I will NOT BE getting rid of my bmw's
badass uploads +1. Hyundai is actually the world's most technologically advanced car maker. They manufacture high tech parts for advanced aircraft and fighter jets for Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
You don't see that with other car manufacturers.
Hyundai cars are very high quality and reliable.
I'll be going for an extended test drive in this very model tomorrow, including color and interior. If that goes well, than this is the car for me. Especially after watching your in depth video review for this car. I appreciate reviews like yours, keep up the good work.
kyle Can you review Genesis G90? plz :)
Great Review! The Reviewer did an excellent job!
COOL CAR...!!!
I agree Arthur R. Are you still alive six years later?
Hi Kyle. Thanks for another fine, comprehensive review. I was wondering if you have driven the V-8 version of this car and, if so, how it compares. I was also hoping you could do a review of the 2015 Hyundai Equus for us. Thanks.
This is car is cool. I would get it. It's fine if you don't like it but make that decision AFTER you go look at it up close and TEST DRIVE the damn thing! Don't just dismiss it because it's not a Benz, BMW, Lexus or Infiniti (and if your azz is broke you won't be buying NOBODY'S car anyway so what difference does it make?) ALL cars need maintenance regardless of who builds it!!!!
Rumor has this guy is still angry about how great the 2015 Genesis is.
Fantastic offering and tremendous value. The only thing i'm not thrilled about is the interior dash. Looks like it could have been nicer based on other models in the lineup having a more sculpted and flowing dash.
One thing I noted from the video is how nice the shifts sound. Nice and crisp instead of that rubber band like drone from gear to gear. Very neat.
***** You look like a drunk who eat cheese burgers ... so what.
What do you mean?
I love how people think Mercedes and BMW are the only reliable cars lol.
Neither of my BMW's have not been particularly reliable. My friends Hyundai and Honda have won out there by a very clear margin.
Uhhhhhhhh neither one of those cars are reliable over the years,plus most people can't really afford those cars...
No one said Mercedes is reliable
2:29 The welcome sound to the Genesis sounds amazing!!
I've already said this on a previous Genesis review and I will say it again.
The Genesis is a fine car and way better than what you'd expect from a Hyundai. It's only problem is that it's a Hyundai. There's nothing wrong with it, but many people still find Hyundais "pretty lame". Which is a damn shame, because they've come a long way from their crappy econoboxes from a long time ago to making great cars that actually brings some punch to the Germans and the Japanese.
And no, I'm not Korean. I know that because I've been in a 2014 Santa Fe and it's a fine car. It also looks great. And for the record, my family owns 2 Nissans.
If I had the money, this would be a serious consideration. It is tremendous value-for-money.
Pedro Pedrosoy and your point exactly?
Also, what's so moronic about expressing your own thoughts?
Hyundai and Kia are now the most reliable cars actually.
I just bought a 2016 and love it
For those saying "copied", let's see you design a car.
I was sceptical, but I need to say - I'm surprised after your review. It's a really good looking car, I seriously wouldn't mind owning one. I can only imagine someone's trouble when choosing a car from this particular price range. It's really nice to see Kia and Hyundai taking their step into this class. Great review as always!
It's great to see just how far Hyundai and Kia have come. Very nice car, I'd take this over a new Mercedes any day. Still too much technology for me, but it has the traditional things that I need to have, such as analog speedometer and tach and a regular transmission/shifter that isn't completely electronic.
The interior of the new Genesis is really nice, I love it :)
I love this car and my dream car
FINALLY!! Ive waited so long for this. Mine is coming in a few weeks.
I don't get the hate for this car. It offers a pretty decent alternative to an E Class or 5 Series, it's also cheaper than either one. I also think it looks nicer than the Benz and it has more standard features like navigation and back up camera. I guess this is a car for those with self-esteem that don't care to be seen in a Hyundai. Self-esteemless buyer beware, however, you're better off in your entry level German "luxury" sedan.
It has nothing to do with self esteem.. most luxury buyers want a car with tradition history.. why do people buy Polo instead of uspa? Hyundai will always be the store brand at the grocery store.. do u buy minute maid orange juice or great value?
***** lol righhtt.... hey maybe u are maybe u won the lottery... but I doubt you even have 10k on ice

You convinced me, Saabkyle04. I'm giving myself an early Christmas present of a Genesis AWD Ultimate.
So many butthurt scrubs in the comment section who can't even afford this car..
woodywoodcakes Because you've driven it right? lmfao gtfo
Uhhhh, sorry, but if I have $40,000 to drop on a new luxury car, there's no way in hell it's going to be on a Hyundai.
Dipshit excuse used to defend a piece of shit product they like. "Oh no, you just can't afford it!" Speaking of scubs... If anyone with a brain had the money to afford this, understood remotely anything about cars, they wouldn't even look at this shitbox.
Pretty sure most of us will be able to afford this car....In 5 years.
icantw8 it’s been 5 years... can u afford it yet?
Such a beautiful car, Hyundai really did well with this one.
People say: 50k on a hyundai? No fuckin way! Hyundai is shit! Hyundai is a poor mans luxury car! Blah blah blah!
I dont get why people cant see the point, the genesis is an affordable option, and more reliable option for those looking for a luxury sedan! Its like a GTR of the luxury sedan segment!
Then... 100k on a nissan? No fuckin way! Nissan is shit! Nissan GTR is a poor mans supercar! That should be your thought if you think paying 50k on a value worthy luxury hyundai is an absurd...
Who the fuck are you to say Nissan or Hyundai is shit!?! Your just sad cause you can't afford neither gtr or genesis!! You people need to stop comparing prices to the brand. Car companies price the more upscale cars with a higher price EVEN if its not a high end brand like Mercedes. Fuckin stupid you people think brands like Nissan or Hyundai can't build a high end car with a higher price. STOP LOOKING AT WHAT THE BRAND IS AND FOCUS ON THE QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, AND LOOKS! Not brand and say "oh it's a piece of junk!
Haahahhhahahah your stupidity makes me laugh! U said exactly what i did! Im not saying nissan or hyundai are shit, i like both! What i said was exactly this, brands with more prestige or less doesnt matter
Alex Razmjookhah Alex, pay attention.. He isnt disrespecting either of the brands, he is defending them.
It's really fucking annoying when people who know nothing about cars spout shit because they are the typical idiototic majority and can't swallow the fact that Mercedes, BMW, and audi arn't as great as they are hyped up to be. It's like everyone who thinks Apple is the greatest company but fail to realize they haven't come up with anything innovative in the past 5 and now is just adapting andriod companies like Samsung, LG, HTC, etc.
Justin Yu
Justin 100% u got ti!!!!!
Very informative video I don't think there was a single feature you missed but the proof is in the test drive so off to the nearest Hyundai dealer we go to see how well trained the salesmen are on this high-tech wonder......tootles
This car seriously will give Lexus a good run for its money.
I was really thinking about buying a LEXUS but now I'm gonna test drive this car....
One of the nicest cars I’ve owned for sure
beautiful
Looks like Audi
poy Mu ?.
i like his older videos alot more better, from like 2-3 years ago, he tends to overdue the information rambling, at first it was straight to the point with also including the necessary information along the way
Great car
People who say that this car is shit because it's a Hyundai are not true petrol/gear heads. Cars make cars, NOT brand names! And this car is beautiful, so nice to see them stepping up their game!
Thats all cool and all but what about the reliability of the car, people forget that this is a Hyundai car and will probably break after 3 years of use and the maintenance will be at a luxury car's price.
10 year warranty. .
Hyundai still offers the best warranty 10 year/100,000 miles which is the highest out there. If they were afraid of it breaking down after 3 years, they wouldn't include such big liabilities.
I drive a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe that has absolutely ZERO problems. EVER. My parents each have 2013 Elantra's with no problems. Hyundai is so underestimated, they're great cars.
Lol my 2001 Kia optimal is still with me its over 10 years. Kia and Hyundai same thing
They're redesigned in AND out. My customers who own Genesis' or even Sonatas absolutely love their cars.
you do justice to the term in depth review. always.
when i heard the exhaust i was like wtf, this isnt hyundai
I got the rear marked changed for free to the genesis logo. Now it is PERFECT!!
