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.
I'm honestly impressed by how far Hyundai has evolved.

It’s quite something.
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 👍

Thank you! Credit for the visuals in this video go to Tonic Films, who assist us with Hyundai launch content. We're striving for higher quality in all the videos that we produce, though.
Appreciate the time lapse from night to day on the rear end. Quality vid
It looks really nice inside and out. Well done Genesis!
Love it, love it, love it! Say no more I drove a Genesis when it was launched in 2014 and it was on par with my Caprice if not better it was so good this however is on another complete level definitely at least second best in class on par with 5 series
Amazing review awesome, never skips his reviews in the middle. Awesome mate

there's apparently not many people left that do. talking about the "American suspension" like it's a bad thing. Bring on the comfort for grand touring in my opinion!
love the design. white isn't the best color for this IMO. green and maroon looked awesome.
Very nice review, on a beautifull car.

Nice 👍.. good review.. 🙃
I love it
Genesis is available in Aus?
I wonder what would be the price range ?
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.
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.

$85k for the 2.5T and $100k for the 3.5TT.
Do you think Genesis gonna release the sport trim of their cars like BMW (M line), Audi (S line) or Lexus (F Sport)?
@MrVroom1

They might but they’d have to bring a full fat high performance version like AMG, M, RS etc first for people to make sense of their sporty trim.
Need a G80 wagon, please.
The front end reminds me of Wailord 😬😬😬 love the interior though

I know, I know! But in this truly rare instance, that’s the case. The GV80 is a better vehicle - more polished, more controlled, more... finished.

I‘d love to find out but Genesis doesn‘t actually sell cars in Germany.
He sounds quite sleepy because the vehicle is so quite and cozy inside I guess.
not bad.
At 8:40 He spoke, spoke, spoke, and spoke a little more about boot and did not inform the capacity of the trunk, something that is essential in a sedan. It's fail again.
Wish you would tell us the price, or at least make it obvious In the video
So much better looking than the European, especially Germany, competitors.
Country driving...it's nice to have a full-sized spare, but a space-saver is better than nothing.

A number of Audis also seem to have space saver spares. It’s a shame the bean-counters have done away with the full size alloy spare. It remains a luxury from a bygone era...

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.
From the front it looks like someone is squinting. But it still is a very impressive car. It’s getting harder to recommend the German brands and they only have themselves to blame.
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.
I just don't bother checking other car review channels anymore.
Second!
