Great Vehicle

The Genesis has been an excellent car - great ride, reliable, low-maintenance, and good-looking. I have not experienced any issues related to the quality of the vehicle except for the electronics (lane change warning) and that was repaired (cause unknown - may have been a bump by another car).

AC & Service

The AC is terrible. It shuts down if car is driven for 2 consecutive hours! Just stops blowing cold air and becomes too loud to hear the radio. Dealer hasn't been able to fix it! I've had it in for service and repairs 4 times. So far it's still not operating properly .

POOR AC

I have taken my car in 3-4 times for AC repair. After driving car for 2 hours the AC stops working and makes loud noise. Mechanics couldn't Repair because they couldn't ever Duplicate the problem. Just had the problem again; this time the thermostat was replaced! I won't know if it works until I go on a 2 hour trip!

Quality issues

My feedback on 5 years of low-mileage ownership (always garaged): Camera system failed and took one whole month to sort out and to repair. Head unit failed and replaced. Three AGM batteries dead in five years. Transmission starting to shift somewhat less smooth after only 10k miles. Electronic modules glitching (dash light staying on, intermittent wipers operating weird occasionally). Poor gas mileage of V8 version (G80 5.0 htrac Ultimate), compared to competitors. Poor design to get access to engine air filters. Poor quality/use of plastic rivets used under hood. Poor quality plastic engine beauty cover, plastic broke. Apple CarPlay intermittently crashes. Will not recommend. Will not buy again.

Wonderful Vehicle

I'm very happy with my G80. The engine and transmission are incredibly smooth. The ride is great. And the interior is the quietest I have ever experienced. Highly recommend this car if you are looking for a sporty sedan. Also, some other points I like about the car that other reviews may overlook...It runs on regular gas (the normal six cylinder motor), it provides a spare tire, the back seat is very roomy and in the sport mode it gets up goes pretty well (other similar cars like a Q50 are quicker however). The infotainment screen in integrated into the dash/center console instead of looking like iPad that was added as an afterthought (like most other cars now). It is also a very well built car. Rock solid.

Have you seen my G80?

The baddest Machine on the planet similar to a box Grand National. Smooth cornering responsive turbos and engine response. Glides over the road barely a bump felt. Will smoke 90% of all sedans from the dig. Will outperform you on a track. G80 is a beast.

Such a wonderful vehicle

Best vehicle I have ever owned. It’s nice to have something that isn’t common such as a Mercedes or BMW ETC… I get a lot of good looks and comments on my car!!! Very nice quality vehicle and has more features than a BMW or Mercedes that is double the price!!!

Very reliable

This is my second G8D. It’s a very reliable car and I wish future Genesis had a V-8. I’m looking at future vehicles for this brand and I am also looking forward to electrified vehicles with this brand. I would also be interested in A GV90, a bigger SUV for this brand

Great ride

It rides like a dream on the highway, Around town I ride in Sport mode to tighten the suspension and lower the gear shifting. I love the styling and the ergonomics. It fits like a glove and I'm 6'1" 230. Dislikes. In normal mode it seems to over steer in turns. I feel like I have to hold it back. Next is the radio reception. I got the best radio available and the antenna must be the problem. The vehicle settings seem to get changed by themselves. Especially the blind spot symbol on the heads up display. Doesn't like to go into gear very easily. Coming out of a car wash is fun. You basicly have to come to a complete stop to get into drive. One last thing. Why can't I remote start my car without paying a monthly fee? I'm done. Love the style, love the comfort and luxury ride. Great service and dealership staff. Looking at the 90's.....

G80 2018

Motor se ha calentado en 4 ocasiones y remolcado en grúa , además de otros problemas mecánicos. Mi vehículo no me inspira confianza y mucho menos seguridad . Manejar este vehículo me estresa grandemente por el miedo de quedarme sin transportación. No recomiendo a nadie este vehículo.

Nicest car I've ever owned

So I convinced my wife to test drive this car and now we own it. It's the nicest ride I have ever been in and I've been in Mercedes, Lexus, Corvette..... Nothing compares to the ride and feel you get with a Genesis. This car has HUD, heated and cooled seats, I love the Blanco color scheme, carbon fiber interior, heated steering wheel, remote start via the app, Android or Apple play, all wheel disc brakes, alloy wheels, 3.3 Litre V6 Turbo that kicks you in the butt when you stomp on it, Paddle shifters if your feeling sporty, dual climate control, 17 speaker surround sound lexicon system that will blow your mind!

Great vehicle except no smart trunk

We like just about everything about our 2018 G80 but we wish we could have afforded the top G80. We were shocked that the luxury price that we paid for the middle G80 did not come with the smart trunk. We have to close the trunk lid by hand, no close button. We could have purchased two Ford Focuses that come equipped with the self closing feature. I filled out numerous questionnaires from Genesis since we purchased our G80 regarding the lack of the smart trunk complaint and never received a response of any kind. Very disappointing, stopped answering Genesis questionnaire.

2018 GENESIS G80 - Premium Package

My Vehicle's ride and performance is as advertised. My GENESIS G80 offers a smooth ride, great cabinet space plus ALL the Bells & Whistles of vehicles much more expensive. When reviewing the market for comparable vehicles, I just could not justify paying 10-15K for a vehicle JUST because of its name. I have NOT been disappointed! I would purchase again in a heart beat.

I love my genesis!

I love my Genisis! My only complaint is that it lacks brand representation. Super cool relaxed ride. I love it's lane assist and adaptive cruise control, I only wish the lane assist stayed all the way on throughout each curve and didn't require you to tug on the wheel when it doesn't sense your control every 15 seconds. Otherwise my 2018 G80 is state of the art. love my car and my friends do too.

Amazing ride, amazing features and it looks so dang cool. This car competes at the highest luxury level at half the cost of other vehicles in its class. Would buy another one! Oh wait a minute…. I DID!

Did the job as requested

Smooth to drive. Very comfortable and roomy. Very nice color and the interior match. We like the wood paneling accent. Control is easy to manipulate and understand for us who are older. The only thing the problem is the recall airbag. No parts available per Hyundai, Palmdale, CA.

Best value for a full size luxury car

Best value for a full size luxury car. A very comfortable full size car for four people. A pleasure to drive and love showing it off to my friends and neighbors. Great for a long trip. I love the cruise control and the EX radio. I'm looking forward to lease a new G80 later this year.
