Compared a ton before buying. Perfect amount of room for my 6’ 3 frame. I measured noise and ride quality of 7 cars. This was third best behind G90 and BMW 7. Haven’t had a stiff or sore back since driving this for 3 weeks. I’m surpassing mpg estimates (29.5) in the 2100 mi so far. The 4 cyl feels like a V6. Only complaint is no ergo motion seat for passenger.

poor service with continued issue with car

I purchased a new 2021 black Genesis G80 in February 2021. I put a very small amount of mileage on vehicle as at the mid-November I have 5200 miles. I had an issue while driving on the highway at 65 MPH and the emergency braking came on, locked the steering wheel and started to swerve on its own. I immediately took it into the local Genesis dealer where I had purchased and, they kept it for 5 days and stated they could not replicate the issue. I took it on vacation 300 miles and it worked fine on the way to our destination, but on the way back the incident happened 2 more times. I called the dealership and they asked that I bring it in again. I did and now 3 days later, they state the can not replicate the issue and have to go to Genesis engineering to ask if more cases of this. I have also service the vehicle at 3750 miles. The offer of service when purchased was they would drive you a loaner and pick up the car from you for service. So far no one has been available to pick up the car or bring a loaner. Actually no loaner has ever been available. I am awaiting to see if it can be fixed, if not I will be applying under the lemon law as the car is unsafe for driving. All the cases I was driving roughly 65 MPH, going straight and not close to another car. Very poor overall service. I have had a few sonatas and they have all been fine and this is my second Genesis and I am very disappointed.

The technology and build quality on this car are superb. I have a 3.5L Prestige. It got 30 mpg on a 600 mile trip recently. Smart cruise and driving assist are great. This is my 3rd Genesis and by far the best. Love the Lexicon sound, adaptive suspension and the styling. 6 month update. Car is excellent in styling, performance and features. The sunroof snaps and pops over bumps and uneven pavement. This ruins the luxury car experience. Genesis needs to update their engineering g and quality to play with the Japanese and Europeans.

Decent vehicle, terrible service

Purchased a new 2022 G80 in April. The Genesis G80 is a decent vehicle but mine had a few issues. I live in the desert and the biggest problem happened when running the navigation. It caused the back of the display (facing the front windshield) to get very hot. So hot I could burn my hand by touching it. I'm guessing that was what caused the display to shut off. I had to pull off of the freeway, wait until the display cooled off then turn it back on. I wasn't able to verify this because I couldn't reach the service department of the dealership I purchased the vehicle from. The dealership was the biggest negative of owning the vehicle. It shared space and staff with Hyundai. If Genesis is going to claim to be a luxury brand, their dealerships need to catch up and treat their customers like BMW, Mercedes, and other luxury brands do. Answering phones, responding to emails, having loaner vehicles available after being reserved, and greeting customers politely would be a start. I was so fed up with the treatment by their service department that in November I traded the G80 in for an established brand that understands the needs of their customer base.
Love this car

The new2021 Genesis G80 is a work of art. Styling awesome, features exceptional, ride quiet, comfortable, good handling and acceleration. While early in ownership, this car is exceptional for price. Warranty is better than competitors, service included, list goes on. This is impressive.

I purchased this car in Oct. 2021. Ran great for almost a year but then started having problems in Oct. 2022 with less than 10,000 miles. In the last 3 months it has been towed into the shop 3 times for multiple electronic and engine malfunctions. So far it has been in the shop 7 out of the last 12 weeks. Still there. They also are not able to get parts for the car in a timely manner including a battery, which supposedly is now causing all the problems after a fuel injector replacement. Genesis customer service, while polite, only offers apologies for the continued problems. They tout the great warranty. While the car has great design, comfort and style, it is very unreliable and Genesis doesn't seem to care. UPDATE: After another month in the shop with assurances my 2022 G80 was finally repaired, I only made it 40 miles from the dealership when every warning light on the dashboard began to cycle through again. Had to turn around and take back to the dealer. Service manager assured me the original problem that he attempted to fix twice before was just a battery. Apparently this car has serious electrical issues. Steer clear.

Had a test drive and fall in love with this car. Comfort oriented suspension with great handling, accurate shifting 8 speed transmission, with strong V6 engine with more than enough low end torque. My highway average gas mileage has been about 27-28 mpg on summer blend gas. It is a must test drive car for those who want a reliable luxury smooth riding sedan.

Nice car, roof rattling noises

The car is gorgeous in style inside and out. I love the car except for the fact that the moonroof rattling noises. After 4 trips to service and countless hours lost. The rattling sounds were eliminated but not completely. I originally wanted to keep it in the family for a long time. Unfortunately I can’t now. It’s a shame because it is a very good car otherwise.

Prettiest sedan in its price class

This is an impressive car. I don't think there is a prettier sedan anywhere close to its price category. Very comfortable, good to drive, quiet. Plus you get the Genesis reliability. I've not had a chance to test it, but that is the way it should be. The only luxury feature which I miss is the ability to touch lock/unlock the rear doors (this feature is only implemented for the front doors). Carbon fibre trim is stunning, and way more attractive than the matte wood that many of its competitors feature. Having had a number of German cars, I can tell you that these guys also sometimes omit things you should be getting. I once owned a BMW 650 which, at a very high price, had no grab handles anywhere on the inside of the vehicle. So the fact that Genesis does not have every single luxury feature that you could name is not surprising. Please note that interior color scheme is a "port option." Thus, you may find combinations at dealers which are not shown on the manufacturer's website. Mine was one of those. Beautiful vanilla/beige that is not listed on the website. There are a bunch of Far East video reviews online on this model, so please don't assume that everything shown there can be had in the USA. One item that's available in South Korea which does not come to the USA is rear-seat video monitors. But of course this is a sedan and not an MPV, so this is probably not the vehicle you would get to haul a bunch of kids around. Also note that many of the luxury goodies are not available in any trim other than the 3.5T Sport AWD. And even on that one, you need to get the Prestige package in order to get a nicely kitted out model.

The car is beautiful inside and out lots of electronic in the car and it will take a while to learn all of these I got the one with the cloth seats not the leather I wish I would’ve got the one that the doors closed by themselves and the six cylinder engine but I didn’t so I’m how satisfied with the car

I absolutely love my G80. I have the 3.5 L twin turbo model and it is a big luxurious sedan but it moves like a sports car. It handles the curves, amazing the all-wheel-drive along with the rear tires turning 4° make this beast move down the road at unbelievably high rate of speed. Was this and a 735 from BMW and a 560 from Mercedes this car was less money came with more features and a much better warranty with highly recommend this vehicle.

... now down to selling only several thousand G80's a year... you'd think they would be pricing them to be putting more of 'em on the streets ... so adding to pricing what amounts to 10% in 'Dealer-Fees' for items a majority of prospective buyers probably wouldn't-want-need makes little sense ... answer could be the company really just has little interest in increasing sales for this model... unfortunate as it really is a great product
Amazing car

The 2021 Genesis G80 has a “Proprietary” battery that can only be purchased via a Genesis dealer. The cost is about double that of a standard replacement auto battery. In addition, the battery is on back order. After two weeks, the dealer cannot tell us when they will have the battery. 70K car disabled because Genesis used a proprietary battery and cannot provide a replacement.

Terrible hesitation on accelerating

In my opinion, this is an outright dangerous car to drive due to it having a terrible "lag/hesitation" when you need to quickly accelerate. The first time this happened I was doing a rolling stop at a red light and needed to blend into traffic. When I pressed the gas pedal NOTHING happened, it was as if the car had totally shut off. I pushed the pedal to the floor, and it still just idled along with cars quickly bearing down on me from behind. Out of desperation I pumped the pedal and it finally started to accelerate but all this took too long with cars nearly rear ending me. I was sure something was wrong so I called the nearest Genesis dealership and was told it would be TWO MONTHS before they could get me in ! I had to travel outside my area to another Genesis dealer who checked the car out and drove it and told me this slow accelerating issue is NORMAL, there is NOTHING wrong with it !!! They put it in sport mode and told me that might help. But after driving it for another couple of weeks it still bogs down when you need to quickly accelerate. I had to completely change the way I drive this car and take into account this poor acceleration feature to avoid accidents. This is what you get for $ 60,000 ??? Additionally, I felt the seat was very hard and uncomfortable. The car rode rough and stiff, maybe by design. The technology was not very intuitive, I had to have the dealership tech expert explain how to use things. It comes with two owner's manuals an inch thick each, enjoy plowing through those. I did NOT feel safe driving this car. There is NO WAY Genesis is even close to other luxury car makers. This model has a problem and I felt abandoned by Genesis and the dealer. The only thing I liked was it has very nice styling.
