s and as for fuel economy for this 3.5-liter twin-turbo that is now 20 miles per gallon combined, I'm sure you're We'll want to see how this performs on the street and rest assured we'll do that later in the video.

When we do, we'll get things like our

signature

sound level readout so you can compare it to the German competition at carconfections.com, but first let's close the hood and look at the unique exterior details this model features. Now, when it comes to the exterior design, many people like to say that this reminds them of a Bentley. bentega I would say yes, but in some ways I think it looks better than a bentayga and as I mentioned a second ago, we have some exclusive details for that exclusive Prestige model, the big one will be the finish. of the grille, you'll notice that instead of the traditional Chrome we have a smoked chrome finish, so this is going to be like a darker, sportier looking vibe and I definitely like the way it looks overall now that we come here to the headlights will remain the same this year, we have those quad beam LED headlights that are signature to Genesis, they are called quad B because you have those four elements, you also have these two daytime running lights and separate turn signal indicators, no headlights fog although on any of the models now, as far as the rear design goes, you continue to have a really nice overall look, clean, stylish, elegant, yes, for an SUV, she is a great little thing, that's for sure, now let's move on and let's take a look at our taillights. because that's really one of the most important design elements that you'll see on the back of this

gv80

, so we have an LED brake light part, we have an LED turn signal and our LED reverse light is integrated here down in the lower area of ​​the bumper, so All three elements are LED of course, you would expect that in a luxury vehicle, Genesis written on the rear will have an exposed windshield wiper and then in the lower area we will have outlets integrated dual exhausts, which I really like as far as towing rating goes. with six thousand pounds, which is a little less than German rivals.

As we continue with the wheels, we have an exclusive wheel for this model. This is a 22 inch alloy wheel, it has a unique design and a gloss black finish which I think it shows off. Very cool, you also have your nice Genesis brand brake calipers, kind of exposed now, as we move forward, you have those two turn signal indicators built into the side and, as we move forward here to the mirrors, of course. As you would expect, all functions will be integrated, for example heating, auto dimming, blind spot monitoring, as well as power folding, and we also have the gloss black finish here at the bottom in regards to the overall length of This vehicle, we're sitting at 194.7 inches long, we have blacked out roof rails as well as that smoked chrome finish here on the side.

Now I want to mention this before we continue. The Prestige signature is only available in three exterior colors. Now you have this red, green or black option in terms of your safety systems, as you would expect for a fully loaded model, you will have them all as standard equipment and in fact they will actually be standard equipment on any gvad model, but guys , this is not just the

prestige

, it's not just the signature, it's the prestige signature, so let's go ahead and see how luxurious that interior is, but first, if you are new here, we are brothers and we have been reviewing cars since We were 12 and 16 years old.

We may be young, but we love cars and we would love for you to subscribe to be part of our Car Confections family, let's learn a lot and have fun with the latest cars. Let's move on to the interior first, of course, we'll take a quick look at the keychain. This is the typical Genesis keychain. It has a slim and pleasant shape. It's got a lot of buttons here because you can do things like remote start, of course. It also has the smart parking system built into the remote and it also has a digital key so you can use your phone to enter the vehicle as you approach, it will go ahead and you'll know, fold the mirrors out and reach back. the handle to unlock the door now, taking a look inside the cabin, this is already a very luxurious place, but with this Prestige signature you will see some really special elements on board.

First I want to talk about your seats and color options. we have the fine Napa leather seats, which means we have all kinds of quilted details here. This is a very beautiful, soft and flexible seat. I love the way it looks and feels overall and in terms of the color options you are going to choose. The color options will be a little limited when you choose this model, just this black one, or you can also get a beige and brown option now. As we move forward here you'll notice 16-way power seats, four-way lumbar support and it even has power massage, of course it also has memory seats and the doors close softly but let's jump in and take a look at the rest of it. the details now that we are completely in, let's start touching and feeling around.

This exquisite cabin starts with the finish of our doors, of course, a full leather cover. Here we have leather throughout with the leather stitching detail in the middle, leather along the top and a beautiful open wood right there in the middle. The same treatment will apply. here on the top of the dash a full leather cover with stitching details, more leather in the center area and as we go down this side of the console you'll notice one of the really nice features of this Prestige signature: you have this padded design on the seat. It kind of reflects here on this big panel and then of course you have the genuine open wood flowing through there, beautiful things like your knurled metal shifter and your glass shifter, here in general, like I said , a very exquisite place to spend time, now let's go.

Go ahead and turn it on now moving to a first person perspective, we'll take a look at our gauge cluster. Now it's a little hard to see on the camera, but you'll probably notice those two little dots at the top, they are sensors that monitor your eyeballs because these gauges are 3D, it's pretty cool for you if you can tell where the speedometer is. kind of recessed back there, but then when you do things like turn on the blind spot monitoring system that really opens it up to your eyeballs, it's a really interesting system and none of the rivals offer anything like it and, on top of that, for Of course, you will also find a nice head-up display and you have rain-sensing wipers when returning to the wheel, this is something unique.

The two-spoke Genesis steering wheel is a bit controversial, but it is very pleasant to hold as it is covered in good quality leather. It also has Power Tilt and Telescoping and heated steering wheel as standard, but let's go ahead and check out the interior storage to start. Here with our center console, you press this little button on the end and it will fold into two different pieces and we go ahead and load our Donuts in here because we like to do the donut test and see how many donuts fit. the center console or the answer today will be 13 13 donuts can fit in here if it's more than a dozen then we consider it a big success so even though it looks a little small at the top it now goes pretty deep plus you're going to have two cup holders under this piece of wood, under this piece of wood you'll find a wireless phone charging pad and a couple of USB connections and you even have a little floating center console here so you can put a little bit of extra stuff right there , now check out the console here.

The main thing you will find is your gear shift again. A beautiful and high quality design. Turn D to drive. You have paddle shifters in the steering. When you put reverse, our 360-degree camera system will appear, so of course you have those traditional views, but if you press that button there it will allow you to walk around the entire vehicle in 3D. see very good quality graphics on board too and let's press P right there in the middle to park. It also has an electronic parking brake. You have your driving mode controllers right here and then this can be used to control the infotainment system.

It's not necessary because it's also a touchscreen, but now let's go ahead and move on to the audio system. Now you really don't need me to tell you that this has the best audio system available in the gv80 line. This is the lexicon of 21 speakers. Quantum Logic Sound System and we'll go ahead and give you a sample right now. Thanks, as expected the overall sound quality is excellent, really a nice and well balanced sound system. Okay, let's move on to our climate controls. We have the three zone auto setup on this model is nice and easy to use because we have physical controls for the temperature settings and then this little screen here is where some of the secondary settings will be like the fan speed and the zones, This is also where you'll turn on your three-stage heated seats and your three-stage ventilated seats, you'll have a nice little haptic feedback when you press those buttons, and moving up, we've got a 14 and a half inch screen sitting here on the back. top of the dash as I mentioned that this is a touch screen in addition to that control knob and as far as its features go, it runs the latest Genesis software so it has that nice home screen there and it also has built-in navigation, something that I think you want.

To know about Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, please note that as of now they are still using a wired connection for both functions, moving up. Auto-dimming mirror with three Homelink universal remotes when I press that button that will open our power. sunroof here, as you can see, we have the panoramic style, although it has a little cutout for those mirrors and the front panel opens with a wind damper. While I'm here I will point out that we have a beautiful Alcantara headliner guys, just take a look at the back seat of the gv80 Prestige and you can tell there are a few things different, but before we get into that I first want to talk about the space: 38 inches of legroom, 38 inches of headroom that's going to be a little behind some of the rivals but not by much and I apologize in advance, we don't know where the rule currently is Mia, so I can't measure how much from my knee to the back of the seat, but it seems to be, I'd say there is about seven inches of space and my feet can slide under the seat.

Now let's start touching on some of those luxury elements because there are a lot of them here in this fully equipped model, so right here in the center. We have rear vents which are very nice, also when you go down you'll find quite a few features so we just have three zone climate control but we also have heated rear seats but not just heated rear seats we also have ventilation. rear seats, that's a feature not found in the GLE or the BMW add that. Extra premium feel at the rear of this signature gv80 Prestige that will be an exclusive feature for this high-end model.

Now we have a nice armrest. We can press this button that allows us to have plenty of interior storage space that is very well lined. If we keep it quiet, you'll notice that we actually have a wireless phone charging pad on the back, very nice once again. If we press this, this allows additional storage space. Nice wooden decorations over here, we also have two cup holdersintegrated right there. but we're not done with the features yet because up here on the roof, of course, we have that nice suede headliner, plus we're going to have mirrors so you can look at yourself like a kid and be really grateful.

Because of how successful your parents were in getting you to ride in the back of this gb80 Prestige, I'm not done yet because I'm going to go ahead and jump into this seat to show you what's also special about this Prestige model. So we have a power adjustable second row seat, which is also a very rare feature for this segment of vehicle, that's for sure, but we also have this button here, it's the relax button and when we do that, that tilts the back of my seat. reclining the headrest is very comfortable, it hits just the right spot and also moves the passenger seat forward and forward, so this is almost an executive style rear seat in this exclusive Prestige model, something very exclusive that you won't find. on those German rivals now when it comes to the leather door trim here we also have beautiful wood trim lots of beautiful designs going on here bottle storage at the bottom as you can see we also have a power rear sunshade which now walk into the cargo area of ​​the gv80 as you can see we have a hands free smart open power tailgate as standard equipment on all models so that's very nice and come check out this cargo area because there's plenty of room in this gv80 34 cubic feet behind the second row seats, if I fold them down, we can We're looking at a maximum of 84 cubic feet of cargo capacity and as you can see, I can fold them down quickly with the push of a button because Of course we have the second row power and I like that you have full capacity. second row power so like I said, quickly press that button to fold those seats.

Now I'm going to go ahead and get out my tape measure and measure from the driver's seat to the back of the cargo area because of course we can't, we might not have a measuring device, but we have this with us. We're looking at 76 inches of length in this gv80 cargo area and as far as width and cargo area, we're now sitting at about 42 inches wide. I haven't done it yet because there are some other features I want to point out. One of the main things that may interest you is that you may have heard that this gv80 may have a third row.

Genesis is a bit of a fixer-upper with trim levels. for

2024

so the advanced plus trim level is gone, which was previously the trim level where you get the third row, now the advanced trim level 3.5 T can get the third row it's actually standard equipment so That's your option if you want the third row. We have to get that trim level now as far as other features. If we raise the cargo floor, you'll notice we've got a little bit of extra room underneath, there's more room underneath that too, guys, here we are behind the wheel. The Prestige Signature gv80 and then in this test drive, we're going to talk about a lot of different things on the screen right now and of course we're going to do our sound level reading to see how quiet this Uber Luxury uh gv80 is, but first.

We'll go ahead and start with hard acceleration and see how that powertrain puts the power to the ground. Nice quick acceleration, of course, there's a red light that comes on, kind of messed up, but we managed to get up to 60 miles per hour. in that little bit of time here there is continuous acceleration, yes it is now very fast of course as we mentioned with the spec dump the reason this is so fast is because it has the 3.5 liter twin turbo V6 engine, 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque. so a lot of torque, a lot of power, it's a pretty powerful powertrain option that's for sure, yes this is certainly very quick and actually puts it at exactly the same horsepower as the BMW X5 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450, so, yeah, I mean.

The Germans like to match horsepower numbers. I guess Genesis is throwing its hat into the ring as well. 375 horsepower is a very common power figure for this vehicle segment. Now, of course, this is the upgraded engine you get as standard. uh, signature Prestige trim level, as Drew said before, and the base engine configuration is actually a 2.5-liter turbo four-cylinder that will have 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, which it certainly won't. It's a weak engine by any stretch of the imagination, but this will definitely be the option you want if you want the most power and the most refinement.

Very good, yes, it's such a smooth and nice power delivery that it could really cause you problems quickly as you approach the speed trap here. You have to pay attention to make sure you're going at the right speed when you have so much power under the hood. Now let's talk about the other aspect of the powertrain which will be the 8-speed automatic transmission on board, a good companion with this engine. nice smooth shifts also downshifts when you need extra power very quickly yes all wheel drive is also standard equipment on every gv80 but now that we're going about 55 miles per hour let's go ahead and get the sound level reading from confections of our exclusive car because we are on our designated stripper road.

We're going to go ahead and turn it to fan speed one, not around 55 exactly 55. That's good, 52.4 decibels on this gvad Prestige signature and you know what I'm going to go ahead and do. I'm going to go to cartonfections.com, which is our website and on our website we have tested a large majority of the competition for this vehicle. I think actually all the competition for this vehicle and we can see how this gvad compares to that one and where. Does that rank you when it comes to those competitors? It actually puts this gv80 at number two in the segment only behind the BMW here in this trim level and I can really hear a big difference with this gb80, now another thing that's really cool about this fully loaded gv80 is that we have adaptive suspension, now you don't.

Opt for the fully loaded model so you know it's included in the higher-end versions of the gv80, but this certainly makes a difference to your ride quality. We actually had a gv80 and for a full week test and that didn't work. I have adaptive dampers and we can certainly feel a difference here. The The vehicles travel so it is certainly a very big benefit compared to before, if you don't choose the adaptive suspension it can get a little difficult especially if you go for the bigger wheels and let me also add that the seats here in the prestigious brand are the Napoleon leather seats.

I think they are much more comfortable than other versions of the gv80. As for other things, I want to mention the fuel economy of this model, as I mentioned in the spec dump, the 3.5 liter twin turbo gets 20. miles per gallon combined, which is not fantastic fuel economy, it's not Terrible fuel economy by no means, but it will be less than a BMW model, yes, those competitors will have a mild hybrid, while this one won't, but it has very smooth automatic start and stop, as we just experienced at the red light, it barely makes any intrusion into the cabin when the vehicle is turned on and off , but you're just not using the auto start stop as much as those other vehicles, and we're in our home state of Kentucky, so let's go ahead and do our airball and kill for the gv80.

Drew started us off with a dunk. the same dope will be the special feature of a Prestige, especially that executive style rear seat which is something you can't get from the competition, it's really a unique feature and it's very very nice, you saw it when Mason was there, really It's the real deal, you get all the features, all the perks and all the convenience, yes and I mean a lot of the features that you can't even get from rivals for any price and will cost you a lot more if you load them up completely , that's for sure and as far as today's airball is concerned, it's going to be pretty simple, no wireless carplay, no wireless android auto, that's something I'm talking about, at this point you definitely expect it to be in a car 83,000.

Oops, I told you the price, but there you have it, this is definitely something that the German rivals have that you are going to miss out on on the GB 80. And lastly, in terms of warranty, this is another benefit for the gv80 because you have a long warranty for a luxury vehicle five years 60 base powertrain 10 years 100,000 miles and three years of free maintenance and let's talk about prices for the gv80 2024 now prices across the line will increase a little this year around two thousand dollars in trim levels and of course we have the highest end version, this is the prestige signature gv80, which means we have all the options that you can get on this model.

We also have some accessories plus the destination 1195 we're sitting on. less than 83,000 now, the next thing I'll do if I'm a smart shopper is go to cartonfections.com, new car quotes.
