The Genesis lineup is starting to really drop luxury. Their really going with an older approach to design and beauty on the outside, and on the inside it look absolutely phenomenal. The materials choice is great and the omission of the passenger seat having the same range is nothing new. My 15 CLS63S was 120k new and the passenger seat doesn t have the same range. My car also has plastics on the side even though it has stitched leather and carbon fiber everywhere. I think Genesis is doing a great job of luring away customers from other traditional luxury brands.

No folding rear sears = NO SALE! Major, major, let down -- this car WAS on my shortlist, but without a folding rear seat I can't justify it. Sedans really need the folding-rear-seat utility. This is a MAJOR oversight on their end -- the last generation G80 was missing the folding rear seat as well. I thought they would SURELY fix this in the new design, but I GUESS NOT!

Grill a little much IMO - but better than lexus / Toyota look which is awful. Don t like those wheels on this particular Genesis. Car look beyond that is excellent.
Drove VW Arteon recently - and the exterior on that vehicle is gorgeous.
Personally not a fan of screens popping up out of the dash area, but becoming the norm in cars these days.

how does this compared to CT5? I know that car is midsize technically but priced like compact aka cheaper than this G80. It is also lighter. 300 horsepower engine and 6. 4 second 0-60 which means the G80 must be a big boy. CT5 with the wimpy 2. 0 4 cylinder has around the same 0-60 maybe even slightly faster. BTW how is that touchpad thing?

Talking about the power seat option vs cost - I think many forget that like all things, to compete cant have it all so the lack of a powered passenger seat isnt that big of a deal or the saving in the hidden side panel when the door is closed 99% of the time of that car being owned - isnt a loss. I like how you pointed it all out though.

Great video! I like that you key into the nuances of why the Genesis costs less than its competitors and why we should appreciate that value. Personally, I agree with you that Genesis cuts the right corners. Unless you are a pretentious rich guy who somehow can t lift up a sunshade for himself. lol then you might disagree

Thank you Genesis for being one of the only automakers other than Tesla that actually wants to be creative and original (albeit in a different way than Tesla. Would easily take this over all of the German entries in this segment for that reason alone. Easily one of my top 3 favorites in this segment.

Quite interesting that Lexus, Acura, and Infiniti have been trying to tackle the 5, E, and A6 for 20-30 years, never managed to do so, and have all quit and abandoned the segment. Genesis has done a better job in two generations of cars than Lexus managed with four generations.

No fold down rear seats in the world that we live in that's dominated by CUVs/SUVs? That feels like a huge omission, I've fit my bike and countless other things in my sedan that would have zero chance without a fold-down rear seat.

Sorry but getting into the boot and closing the lid is just not a good look. You are doing a good, professional and informative job of reviewing the car but then you go and lower yourself by getting in the boot and closing the lid?
