We drive the new 2021 Genesis G80 3.5T sedan and see what this luxury car is really like.
Last week we were very impressed by the Genesis GV80 SUV. So what’s the sedan version like - and why isn’t it quite as good as the crossover? Today, Tom Baker takes a close look at the G80 with the 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine that makes 279kW (374 hp).
Would you consider a Genesis G80 over a Mercedes-Benz E-Class or BMW 5 Series? Maybe this would make a great replacement for a Holden Caprice?

    That is one stunning and sleek saloon. It's very slick, If I was considering a luxury saloon I'd certainly give this car a serious thought.

    Must mention Chasing Cars vlogs are becoming films. The picture quality in focus, depth of field and colour balance is noticeable, and tracking, zooming and framing cinematography put some bigger more established car review channels to shame (some of which have TV shows and studios). The audio quality I find truly excellent. Great tone and clarity with good volume levels that are stable between cuts and don't have me endlessly chasing the volume control. So whomever there is responsible for all this I salute a big kudos to you peeps, we do notice 👍

    Nice detailed review but although it is pleasing to see that this is a brand new model, I think it would appeal to the hire car market with its US styling and rear seat comfort. Also, maybe Hyundai could have had some Australian input into the suspension tune to improve ride on country roads.

  • @jhndijkman

    Very nice, did you mention the price? And the white colour exterior, it that a flat or matt finish. On negative, don't care for counter rotating instruments ie the rev counter. At least it isn't one of those dreadful flat plane LCD displays.

    Good move Genesis. Launching a new car especially a new brand, in the ACT(Australian Capital Territory). [Neutral territory] Given Australia's eight states and territories, many not in NSW are 'over' everything out of Sydney. Viewer conflicted loyalties (esp during Covid) is a 'thing' and can be galling. Pity about the State Number Plates. A very good video on the G80 Tom. On Genesis. Won't expect 'critical mass' any time soon.

    Fabulous thing! A 5m long 4 door V6 3.8L RWD Sedan. Great idea, Australia should make something like this.. oh.. hang on.. Weird how Holden or Ford couldn't sell this specification and Hyundai, sorry, Genesis can. Annoying that this car carries $3K to $10K in Luxury Car Tax. A tax that was intended to help protect the Au car manufacturing industry and now needs to be dropped.

    Yeah, it's a recipe that makes sense. Kind of dismayed to discover, when I was researching the written form of this review, that large luxury SUVs now outsell large luxury sedans in Australia by 13-to-1. It is truly a dying breed.
