Look at the styling you see on the new Genesis g90 sedan, some of that styling comes through and it's a very Bentley style headlight design, all LED.

I love the crisscross pattern. You have your front camera. Nice chrome frame all the way to the top and then when we go down you have the same design but this one is not shiny black. All your security technology is. hidden behind this panel here, really clean finish, even the underside is nice and clean now when we go up on the hood. I love what they've done, they took the Genesis logo, which a lot of people have said, it's like Aston Martin asking Bentley. I know what fits the brand really well and look how they took the body lines and wrapped around that very, very clean Genesis badge all the way to the windshield.

I'm going to have fully vented rotors. I love the amount of clearance we have from the top of the tire to the inside of the fender, nice and clean all the way around, but that 265 wheel on the 22 inch 40 series sidewall wheel as we go down. Another signature of the Genesis brand in addition to that grille will be the side marker lights with the very, very well done and clean turns, as I said, you will see this on the new G 90 sedan and the great news is to have the lighting here it does not have than being higher in the side mirrors, we continue going down.
This is one of the only real drive platforms very similar to the Lincoln Aviator, so this is competition not just for the BMW x5 as well. the Audi q7 but also that Lincoln Navigator, especially since it's rear-wheel drive, you can get all-wheel drive of course as an option. We continue along the very low side roof rails. I like the silver trim on the top and bottom. You can see how. The GV 80 is easy to access in and out of. Very nice prominent line here, even the lower sill. If you notice the way it appears, you have the chrome trim down here which creates a very cohesive whole overall with the look of the GV 80.
GV 80 we get to the rear as we get to the rear I want to point something out, look how The rear fender almost widens in the way they carry the body line all the way to the tail, probably one of my favorite areas because of the styling.

This wiper should have been integrated into the actual low roof spoiler and swiveled down like this, but as we go down, I love what they did with the curvature of the rear.
In the hatch area it has the Genesis badge, like I said, optional all-wheel drive. There it is, the optional all-wheel drive actually has a limited-slip differential which is important for getting traffic, downhill traction, actual decorative exhaust tips to match the shape of the grille. Other fine touches, you can see the reversing lights, the really simple rear lower bumper area, the GV 80 badge, but what they've done with the headlights and taillights makes it a signature of the brand, let's go ahead and Let's see if we can open the hood. and look what powers the new GV 80.
