2018 Genesis G80 3.8 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 8A)

I have the 3.8 Ultimate version with rear wheel drive. I have owned Cadillac’s since 1974 and replaced my 2016 XT-4 with the Genesis. Could not be happier. Controls, tech, ride overall quality far exceeded the Caddy. Plus dependability is far more comforting. The ultimate interior is far superior to the top Cadillac trim line. Will be getting the 2021 G-80 next year. Love the changes for 2021

Good Luxury Car for the Price

2019 Genesis G80 5.0 Ultimate 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl 8A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

I have owned the 2019 V8 5.0 Ultimate for 3 years. There is currently 25k miles on the car. My overall view is that for the price it is a good deal compared to luxury features you would expect from a Lexus or a Mercedes at a much lower cost. I have had no major problems with the car, but I don't drive it much, maybe 1000 miles a year all highways. Only a minor problem with the sunroof rattling when I hit a bump which I just live with. The main thing I don't like about the car is it is not fun to drive in the city. It just feels heavy not nimble. My 2006 Infiniti M45 is much nimbler and fun to drive. Although my M45 has 335 HP compared to 425 HP for the G80 the M45 feels like it has more torque. The G80 is a great highway car - very fast acceleration from 50 to 100, incredibly good sound system and electronics. Comfortable ride very quiet. More of a cruiser than a sports sedan.

2019 G80 3.3t Sport

2019 Genesis G80 3.3T Sport 4dr Sedan AWD (3.3L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

I cam to this vehicle from a 2015 Genesis 3.8 AWD, which provided flawless service for some 6 years and will remain in the family. The 3.3t feels like a bigger power upgrade than the 5.0 V8 even though it isn't. Peak torque on the V8 sits way up high in the rev range, so like the 3.8 V6, you have to rev it out to get it to move. The 3.3t just pulls. Any gear, any rpm, any road speed. Some very useful tech upgrades versus the 2015 car as well - adaptive cruise, auto-leveling and cornering LED headlights, active lane-keep assist and Android Auto / Apple CarPlay are a few that I really enjoy. The adaptive suspension is another significant hardware upgrade. Only downside is that fuel economy takes a very much expected hit. Comfortable, whisper-quiet, composed and fast. I'm loving it. Many months further along and my opinion hasn't changed. Strong acceleration and very composed handling remain the dynamic strengths. Interior styling and comfort routinely draw praise from those accompanying me on a drive. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Wings of power

I owned a 2018 G80 3.3T and I loved it, I’ve never owned a car like the G80. Unfortunately, the driver door didn’t open, the sunroof started having problems opening & closing. to top it off, the driver side turbo and water lines started leaking. There was a recall for that specific failure on those cars. I was lucky that Genesis fixed the turbos free of charge. But I gave up on my precious G80 3.3T and I miss it terribly. How can I convince myself and wife to look for another one, maybe a 3.8 non turbo in hopes that this time around all is better. Like I said, I loved my wings of power, the name I gave it as it was fast, really fast. And I miss my Genesis G80 3.3T so very much
