2019 G80 3.3t Sport

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.

Absolutely love this car so far! It has everything you could ask for in a vehicle, luxurious and fast. I have the ultimate package and sport package on mine so it’s fully loaded. Car is super quiet and very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Overall just annoying and costly issues

2019 Genesis G80 3.8 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 8A)

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

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.
