Be ready for a host of high tech safety and comfort features - it is loaded. Good trade-in by dealer reduced price by $5900. This vehicle has premium AND ultimate trim.

Reading all the reviews on this car sounded wonderful. I haven't had a new car in over 7 years so when researching I found this car appeared to rate with the Lexus and BMW with a lower price but with all the features. The reviews boasted that this was the luxury car of the year. Not in my book. I chose the G80. It is an ok ride but after having a Cadillac and use to that comfort this ranks way below. The inside feels stiff and boxed in. The trunk is rather small and I would have a hard time getting in 2 sets of golf clubs. The trunk has an automatic release inside and the new feature is the auto open trunk when you stand behind with your key in hand. All nice and good but there is no auto shut button. I have to slam the trunk shut myself. After complaining to the dealer about it I was told to just take my frustrations out when shutting the trunk. How embarrassing. Granted all my fault I didn't look the car over well enough before signing the paperwork. I do not plan to keep this car long and will definitely go with Lexus, Infiniti, etc. the next purchase around. In the meantime, steer clear if you are looking for a REAL luxury car.

Azera vs G80

First the G 80 is much more expensive. The brakes don't brake as fast. The steering isn't as nimble. The rear area has less headroom. The Infinity stereo had more power in the Azera and sounds better than the G 80's.. It's hard to see out the pillars on the G 80. Better legroom in the Azera

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

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

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.

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.

Overall just annoying and costly issues

We like this vehicle for its overall comfort and performance. Issues have been, costly and difficult head light repacement ($400 including labor for a bulb!) If it had been the entire assembly, $1,500 which they wanted paid for without diagnosing first. We are on the third set of tires with less than 75K miles and the biggest issue I have is the lack of Genesis dealers in NY. It is a hour and a half drive for us to take it to a dealer when in NY for the summer.
Love this car

Door locks are unbelievably annoying. When you open the door you can’t push the lock door button unless you are entirely out of the car. If you get out of the car and lock the door by pushing the lock door button inside the car, the remote start won’t work and the automatic trunk opener won’t work. Garage door opener won’t work if car is turned off. Door opener must be pushed twice to open garage door after starting car in closed garage. Navigation system is very difficult to use. Cameras aren’t calibrated correctly. Front and rear cameras are about 2 feet off. I can get within 2 feet without cameras. Looks & rides great.

I drove this car for about a month and decided that it wasn't what I had expected. The comfort that this so-called luxury car isn't there compared to others of its class. Something doesn't feel right about the braking on this vehicle. Even though it's designed in California and Germany, the car still feels like a Hyandai, a Korean car. Overall, not worth the money.

I have had my G80 for 18 months and love the vehicle. Comfortable and quiet, with all the power you need. I have had no issues with the vehicle and the Valet Service at Checkered Flag Genesis in Virginia Beach has been great.

Quirky Media and Nav system

Media system is still overly complicated. Genesis has yet to say what they intend to do with their Blue Link Service when G3 is connectivity is no longer available. The media/navigation options not related to their Blue-Link services are numerous, but like many iPhone APs, they may or may not work as outlined in the owner's manual. In my opinion, they tried to include too many features using a very clumsy interface/touchscreen. Scrolling through the touchscreen options is a nightmare, as it is almost impossible to scroll cleanly without activating some unwanted feature. The car itself is a pleasure to drive. Mileage on the road is ok at 30mpg or so. Overall I'll say in over 50 years of owning cars from a VW Micro Bus to a Jag XJ8 our G80 is my favorite of all of them

My 2018 Genesis G 80 3.3T was a late entry in my search but after the test drive, I was sold. I'm a senior driver who is experiencing a rebirth of the joy of driving a fast, powerful machine. The ride is smooth and technology more than I will ever need. Lots of interior room with a panorama sun roof that makes me feel like I'm riding in a convertible.

Purchased a 2019 Genesis G80 3.3T Sport a few weeks ago for $39k. It had 31k miles. I traded in a 2020 Prius Prime for it. I traded in a perfectly good hybrid for a gas-only vehicle because this is a second vehicle I use mainly for road trips. Since I wasn't driving much, comfort became more important than fuel efficiency. My primary is a 2020 Kia Niro EV lease I use for day-to-day driving. EV is king for local driving but I still prefer gas for long trips. I connected a Comma Three with Openpilot which turns this into a wonderful highway cruiser. My favorite feature is the Lexicon 17 speaker sound system which is the best I've ever heard. The seats are fantastic and the quality of the interior is top-notch. Also, since used Genesis have a 5-year, 60k mile bumper-to-bumper warranty so I still have 2 years and $29k left on it.

I love the style of this vehicle. It came with windows being tinted. Have a nice sound system and different features to switch up the way it sounds. It is a smooth ride. And the gas last pretty long to me. Only downfall I have about the car is the app to use the remote start being down. They don’t know how long it would be down for. And with it being crazy hot in Las Vegas, I would like to be able to cool my car down prior to getting into it. So far I haven’t had any issues but I’ve only had the car for about a week.
