2021 Genesis G80 3.5T Long term review – Everything you need to know

Yes, welcome to Carson Korea. I'm DK and I present to you the newly launched Genesis Hyundai and Kia cars. I did a thorough

review

of this car. I didn't have much time for POV videos other than driving it and I'll show you that. all about Genesis g80 what it's like to own a car and drive it every day on Tuesday morning on the way to work HDA is a living Savior like me. It's been raining a lot. I'll probably add the images anyway. I can do this? Let my hands go off the steering wheel, it will go on the road perfectly and well, it is a very good feature to have it right, let's try the sport mode like the GV 80, as soon as I turn on the sport mode, the boosters squeeze me easily, they fly easily . no problem this car will follow most of the cars you will encounter on the highway in this car it won't be easy to get to so there was some grade on the road.

I made an emergency maneuver, the torque was just smooth. Its fastback design, the visibility I get from the rearview mirror is not bad at all, it is not as big as that of an SUV in a sedan. I think that's as much as the view you'll get from the viewfinder and I. I really love this quarter glass on the sub, a mainstay that was available from GB 80, the mirrors have been moved down from that position to here, they call them flag mirrors and that also adds to the q design of the design A car general also mentioned this in the GV 80 video but it may not be much but it really helps a lot especially when you are driving on these city streets where pedestrians are close to your cars and also when you are reversing .

The space is really useful, so it was an automatic lane change at work. You must have your hand on the wheel. Let's try it one more time. Gently press it down and then you will see that green light with the lane change assist alert flashing. shows you that lane changes are in effect and the responsiveness and feedback you get from the steering wheel is simply identical to the HDA. It is quite noticeable again to briefly mention about this lane change assist, this feature could have been available with the push of a button like Tesla does, but according to government regulations, Genesis could not include the feature.

I don't

know

why exactly, this is one of the uses that I learned from here and there, because I mean, think about it, it's they have the best Full HD available the best they can't do lane changes it's stupid they have the technology but because of the regulation can't be edited until they relax the regulations a little I guess it's sixty miles per hour right now about 60 miles per hour and here we are testing the brakes Wow, there's no nosedive, it just stops the car gently, it probably will. you saw on the camera, there goes the previous g80 still looks beautiful.

I love that car, another Genesis, the Genesis that I started it all the first Genesis and like most cruise control, you apply a foot brake, the HDA disengages and you can easily pick it up again and press a button here , it will record the current speed you are at. running so you have to increase or decrease the top speed if you want, if you are setting Comfort Sport again the boost is on and that was with the engine generator sound off, the active sound was off. I just said it quietly and again. sport mode going to medium on high immediately going back to off see it's a v6 signal for everyone so I highly recommend you turn off this active sound because the Genesis tree 80 will give you the pure and joyful sound as it is and let's try the sound generator off how does it sound from the cabin while driving going to comfort the engine sound generator is off this v6 is just beautiful and next is the tire size but the question was could a larger size tire be fitted at 4550 20 altitude I don't think there's a big problem with rubbing, but you're still around here in front of the wheelhouse probably if you put the 50.

I'm pretty sure it's going to rub, that's what it looks like to me, so this is 245 40 20 again so probably the best bed is 45 45 20 and the question was the same for the rear as well 275 35 20 as we

know

but I was curious if I could use 275 45. I don't really see any problem. With that it won't rub much, it has a giant wheel inside. I don't think you can set the score on this car. Can you upgrade the size of your tires because of the front, not so much the rear, but the front I doubt it can be upgraded to larger wheels.

I think it's like I'm on the sidelines right now. The next question was what was the driving like on different terrain or different road conditions, so I drove there. The questions specifically asked how the ride compared to the air suspension car. The most recent car I drove with air suspension is the Mercedes-Benz CLS. All the comparison I will make or the reference I will make. It's CLS just so you know, so it's different, not what you'd expect from air suspensions. I'm not going to use big adjectives or big words, but they are different, but that's what the radar in front of the car detects.

The conditions in front make necessary adjustments to the suspensions and I have a strong feeling that there is a lot more focus on the front of the car because well, I definitely felt that the rear bounced a lot more than the front, but again the front felt incredibly. comfortable, especially on those bumps and speed bumps and bumpy roads and potholes and all that, and answering the question about massage seats like the GV 80, the massage seat is only offered in the driver's seat, so these are the passenger seats and these are the driver's seats, there is the button for a massage and press it, this is what appears and just for the record,

genesis

never called or calls this a massage seat, it is an ergo-movable seat and it doesn't even say in the owner's manual that it is a massage seat and I think the reason for I mean, for starters, they may be updating the facelifted or later version of the Genesis with massage seats because I tried it with the Argo seat and it's nothing like the massage seat we'd expect to make compared to a Mercedes Benz if it were. rating the Mercedes massage level as a 10, the Genesis would only go up to five six or seven at most, so again it's not a massage seat, but I consider it more of an alarm seat, maybe it definitely gives you that stretch and place it on the heated seats, it certainly eliminates some of the back pain, it may relax you from those

long

drives, but again, that's not a massage seat, don't let that fool you, just so you know, regardless whether it has the 2.5. or 3.5 look exactly the same except for this grill here only the 3.5 has this slightly tinted dark tone, it's not a matte finish but it's a definitely different shine than the chrome grill here, so only the 3.5 has this, while 2.5 has the same chrome look for the front grille and lower grille, there was a request about an in-depth

review

of that AR navigation, so let's get set up and then again, it takes some getting used to.

It also took me a while to get used to the system so this is it go to the map view and then you can finally choose the title 3d 2d uh blah blah blah and this is the AR so let's try it and that's it . to map ready and again this is the bumpy road that you can typically find in European countries where the roads are not asphalt but rather textures like this and in comfort mode and again it is not the feeling that you would expect from the cars with suspension pneumatic, but it certainly makes the necessary changes to the front suspensions and gives you a very comfortable ride overall, so there is a speed bump.

You see, the front suspensions absorb a lot of impacts and that's how it pushes all the rejections back, that's how I feel. I don't know if that makes any sense, but it kind of retains and absorbs most of the energy from the front hit, but it kind of releases all of it. in the rear so it lifts up so listen carefully and let me try it one more time with this bump they will break so the front suspension absorbs a lot of impacts and shocks from the bump. I think it's very good. Car for an urban driver, but again, thanks to the large 245 and 275 tires on 20-inch rims, you feel a lot of things;

By the way, it gives you a lot of feedback, as for noise, it cancels out a lot of noise from outside. Because of this gem, the glasses are pressed both front and rear, except for the small flat glass and the quarter glass at the back, they are all double pressed, so it's really distinctive on the highway and on the freeway. Okay, speed bump again, no pause and let me open. open the window and see for yourself how effective the noise cancellation is, that's what the windows open and since I'm taking the images with the GoPro it has the window cancellation system built in so probably what you're hearing now don't be as strong or as bad as Actually, again, there is a straight line.

Let me show you how tall it gets and put it in sport mode. How's that for noise cancellation? I was very impressed with this with the technology of the GB 80 and I think the same goes for the G 80 as well. It is very good at what it is supposed to do, so see for yourself: our navigation system is connected to the navigation system. radar, obviously, so it recognizes the lane accurately, so keep an eye on this one, it won't go out of the lane, let me. drift a little bit intentionally and you will still see how this follows to the first lane and the second lane to the first lane again and this is the overall tightness and comfort that you would expect from the comfortable and sporty mode of the

genesis

g80 um as I have shown in the exhaust notes that It's not much of a difference because I turned off the sound generator to begin with so the v6 engine sounds the same no matter what mode you're in, they make a very smooth and nice v6 sound when you

need

it. more power by putting the sport mode on it will fly and shoot the car like this, this car is loaded with power.

I don't know if it's just for this car, but I have to activate this auto hold every time I turn the engine off and on. You can probably do that in the settings now that I talked about it and this view of the camera here is actually very useful and you can also change that if you want it to flash five or three times with that single tap right now. A three-stroke set, which is typical of all brands, the parking camera is really useful when you go through sharp turns and there are roads where the car is parked at an angle, so you all know what it feels like to open a door.

I see that it opens on its own like this, so I close the door and see how the closing of the ghosts is affected. I'm going to push it gently until it locks, no problem. I try one more time, yes, so I think that image will show. It's very useful, very very useful, so let's go to the back seat again, that's what I have in the front seat on the passenger side, first of all, the sun visor, this is all manual, unlike the GBA tea, where you press the window button and then the. the sunshade automatically lowered with this, but that's not the case with the GA tea, but it's a nice touch that I like.

Look, look one, the window is almost towards the end, it will slow down a little bit, you guys noticed it, so not a defect that keeps giving us that luxurious feeling, so try this, it's the same case for this sign too. Now I'm in the back of the car and let's test the infotainment system in the back hmm so it pops up right away. with navigation so I have an idea of ​​where I am again. This is my first time playing with this and I'm just using my common sense of my idea of ​​what it would look like.

Oh wow, you can customize the navigation. navigation setup in the back as well, except for the augmented reality version, so there's a six for the driver's side with the augmented reality navigation system here, but that's missing here. I'm going to put it in my favorite. You can adjust the volume control well. It is a typical navigation system. I think we can go to the climate so you can adjust the temperature from high to low change the direction of the air flow. Wow, very intuitive and as soon as you turn on the air conditioning from the back you can only turn off what is in the back not the front, as soon as you press the auto it will turn on up there and after that you can only adjust wind levels, but you won't be able to turn it off, well here's the off button, let's see if that does that on the front, no, no, it doesn't, if you make the adjustments here, it's connected to the one on the front, but you can turn it off here, it will still be the same hmm, so you can do it with the Physical Button here or you can play with this one here, let's see what others there are, so front controls.

Wow, okay, you can control the front here. Oh, and you can just turn it offthat you can control

everything

from behind. Wow, different. wind levels, it even shows the outside temperature and dual zone air temperature for left and right, we're sold, you can go to the back, okay, that's what the front was, the wet manual rear, oh , you can write scripts, you can scan this with a smartphone and it will show you the full manual on how to play with it, then the map, I think we have the Metis map, that was the first one we made, so most of the others Things are for you to choose from. destination you could actually play around here and then it will go to the driver's seat, so you know, you tell the driver I want to go to this place and then I put the address in, it's up there, okay?currently available in Korea TP EG fuel price information, shows you the prices of the nearby gas station how far it is from where you are Wow, it even shows me the accident alerts where the accidents are, of course I'm closer to where I am I'm close news politics national technology IT yes you could even read news in the back seat it's just text seems ok it's all text but again Wow something to play with nice the radio is radio music you can control this Bluetooth Android and Apple USB Video USB no media device available and DMB it's been years since I used this at the DMV.

I don't know what they mean, but this is literally the TV you can watch in your car, so the sound of nature is unnecessary. Hyundai and Genesis love these cameras. Wow, okay, you can play with the camera. This is the rear view and these are the side views to your left and right, so sitting inside your car you can watch who passes by. you behind you in front of you and the ambient light. Wow, this is very OnPoint and very, very easy to use, so it's a pretty self-explanatory setup. It's the same thing you'd find from the driver's seat: Bluetooth navigation sounding like this, blah, blah, blah. and an owner's guide manual, so that's what we have for this, a rear driver's seat, let me see if I can make the adjustments here and the tilt is all I can do, so that's a hinge that they have here, It is supposed to be quite firm and rigid. to be in a car so I doubt it will bounce around during the trip, a nice little pocket for extra documents and things you

need

and a compartment.

I like the little light in there, a little touch they made, as well as the headphones and USB output, you can even put some things in here if you want, it has a rubber finish so I think it's meant to be a tunnel, so it's probably the ski tunnel and Genesis has tried really hard to incorporate this as a feature because they are color matched to the interior so other interiors come in a color matched for this cushion and unlike other SUVs and some of the genesis like the third row, this is not the infrared but the dome light and this is the beautiful panoramic sunroof. so let me quickly show you don't worry, one won't touch you.

I know some of you were worried about that, so that was the review of one of the 18 speakers, the Lexicon premium sound for Genesis and I'm wondering what that is. because at first I thought it was a little suit hanger on the clothes, but it's here so maybe it could be that you can't put your coat here with a hanger because it will be stuffed with this, some see it here so whoever be. know what this is for, please leave it in the comment below. I'm really curious, it's really stable and firm, sturdy and firm here, so I'll probably see another one there too, so maybe there's that af

term

arket accessory I can put on it. here maybe it's connected to your oh this is just my imagination but I think you can buy some kind of curtain that can separate the front row seats from the back row seats, well that's exactly what, OMG, the keys and functions here are almost identical. that thing we have on the driver's side is self explanatory the ventilated seats the heated seats move the seat back and forth right in the back by the way it's very fast look at this so I'm going to press it now to close that's really fast uh I like it so now it's pressed to the right the art button is on so they'll cut whatever is on the right side you have control over this so I play with this one and will take effect.

I have these here and this is one of the very nice details that I like because we all have the experience of dropping something here, so there are a lot of af

term

arket products for these, but they made them, oh yeah, very in tune with the color inland. Nice touch and it's the same case for the passenger seat. You can remove it. It is attached to the seat and additional cup holders in the rear seats. This is the back of the truck and there's an oh oh, so it's like someone did it. a good use of this emergency kit, this one is here and you can plug it in to fill the air and underneath there is a battery, it's a big battery so they put it in the rear trunk.

We have seen this on some German cars like BMW. and high performance cars like Em's and all that, that's because of the black box that has a nice touch of moving the battery towards the trunk compartment to cancel out the balance and in a hard corner like this, the HDA is disabled and then you encounter a human force in a corner. In tight corners like this, what they've released is this full size 12.1 screen, it's one of the biggest I've seen in ladies cars, it works like a smartphone so it's very intuitive and interactive, but the bad Look at this, I can't.

I don't even make it to the corner up there, probably the room or the event area is more reserved for the passenger, but instead what we have is this dial where you can completely control

everything

you can and you would touch it with your fingertips. fingers. On the screen, one of you asked me to show the full detailed review of the AR navigation system, so I made a full review video of the AR navigation system, but now we are on the highway, so let me show you the different types. Here in one navigation system, you can switch to six different types of navigation systems.

Let me quickly show you this in 2D. They call it 2D up, so it's like the typical old-school style conventional navigation system we'll find below. up is north up up do you need um? You don't need an explanation for that, the map always faces north, towards the top again. Next is a 3D map, which is my personal favorite in all the navigation systems I have this on. I use this the most, the next one is neon white and judging by the graphics it is three dimensional. Next up is just that neon, and I'm sure Dion is right and I'm jumping around a little here, but the best part of this.

HDA is that it is also connected again with the navigation system, so the car will slow down every time there is a radar, after passing the radar it will accelerate to the speed limit point that you have said Genesis. and a

long

with a few other cars, even the Elan buggy, this Elantra has the HDA for the record and well, it's not as smooth or gentle, shall we say, like all the curved lines like this. Genesis makes this a great curve overall where Elantra stores a little bit back and forth and back and one more thing, so most of the features inside out are almost identical to the Genesis GV 80, so which if you see one of the reviews of them you probably know what I'm talking about except the interior. design where this beauty of white space is emphasized even more in this car than in the GV 80, as we can see from the instrument panel here, the dashboards are completely open and there is nothing here except this emergency light, hey, so Maybe this has just started. button, they even got rid of the analog clock, which was like the symbol of a high-end luxury car, so from me to AR, again it is connected with the radar camera and with the car system in general, so no it only recognizes the lane it shows exactly and precisely on the road and the map and the camera the view right here you know when to take the exit ten point two kilometers take the exit on the right I have been using this our go motion seat at all times there are our three different types of pelvic stretch lumbar stretch full body stretch Ergo motion seats are only available in the driver's seat, unfortunately there is nothing in the passenger seat and again, don't let that feature fool you into thinking it's a massage system, it's not a massage system anywhere or once Jenna made it, Genesis called it a massage seat, instead they went to the trouble of coming up with this air motion seat name solely because This is the purpose and feature of the seat that will give you a little bit of a stretch and alert on your long road, drive on a highway and highway so as not to fall asleep, you can keep your eyes on the road as if none of you actually meet the that he says he would eat, stretches his back, pelvis and lower back. that was the case with the GBA tee when I did the long distance course, but it's quite useful and certainly doesn't take away some of the drowsiness and I personally think it's better if you use it with the third level heated seats give you that massage feeling and once again, when the HDA is disabled because I just put the foot brake on, the number here will turn grayish.

You can simply tap this button here to turn back on the system you're not using. I don't have to set it every time, so I had emergency on. I was preparing for the foot brake, but I had my heart solely on this HDA system and it gave me the alarm and stopped on its own. You probably just witnessed it. I was hoping the emergency light would come on too, but I don't think it did. Along with HDA, one of the best features, as well as this camera, right here, when you turn on the turn signal, it shows you. the mirror camera view here so you can easily check the cross traffic at any delay you go to and this was my Korea I and this was my question as well as my friends the camera does not appear when you put on the mirror camera view emergency light I'll show you real quick, it doesn't show both sides, well as for the HDA, it won't make sharp turns, oh I didn't even know about that feature, let's try it one more time.

Guys, you just saw that the AR navigation system also works with Lane Assist when you are a little out of the lane or when you are too close to the lane on your left and right, it will appear as red lights, red bars very intuitive, it is located exactly on Somewhere between the g70 and the cheetah 90, that's what I feel. The g7e is definitely an owner driven car. In that car, you can take it to the track without saying it's the best performing car on the track. It will give you the performance you are looking for.

Certainly more than you'd expect from a normal sedan, but the G80 falls somewhere in the middle because I've been driving it for almost a thousand miles.
