Used 2019 Genesis G80 Sedan Consumer Reviews
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.
Good Luxury Car for the Price
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.

Not as good as it's souped up to be
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.

Luxurious highway cruiser
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.
