2025 Genesis G80 Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Buyer Beware - great car BUT
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.

Amazing Value -- Used G80s
Since the used car market has somewhat leveled off, I am back to buying slightly used cars. This is my second Genesis in 12 months. Had a 2022 GV70 which was excellent. Now I have a 2023 G80 Prestige with 30k miles. The dollar-for-dollar value on these cars vs. other luxury cars is a no-brainer. The good: Car drives like a dream; smooth, quiet and frugal. I have the AWD 2.5t and on a recent road trip go close to 30 mpg total round trip. The prestige comes with so many features it takes some learning for sure. For one, I didn't know I could adjust the seat cushion hardness... it's the same lever as the thigh extension; you just have to push it up and down. You can also adjust your side bolsters which is a very nice feature. The sound system is awesome and the controls for all of the multi-media are very intuitive. The car, like all cars does have some minor faults: Most likely your sunroof will start to creak. This can be remedied by taking it to the dealer and having them fix the issue under warranty. So, if you notice noise from the sunroof while driving and the car is on a dealer lot, don't worry.. get the car anyway. Also, for those taller people, the roofline is rather low, especially with the sunroof. I'm 6 feet and it's ok for me, even with the seat up higher. However, there isn't much headroom so spare. The dealer experience can be shady if you service at a Hyundai place. I take my car to a dedicated Genesis dealer and these guys are AMAZING!! better than BMW or MB. As a matter a fact, I'm getting the sunroof issue fixed right now and have a nice loaner. The car also has issues with the chrome window trim.. This too will be taken car of under warranty if you ask. Beyond those issues there aren't many things to complain about. I'd say the only other small issue is the LED interior lighting is a bit stingy and not very bright. Even in the new 2025 models it's a bit nicer but not great. Genesis needs to look to MB for some inspiration. All in all, it's a great car which you can acquire for almost half the price 2-3 years later and unlike the Germans, you'll still have plenty of warranty to determine if it's going to be a good car.

FANTASTIC CAR, GREAT MID-SIZED LUXURY AUTOMOBILE
2023, 3.5 Sport Prestige. We waited until December 2023 to purchase and got a great deal on a dealer-loaner with only 1,200 miles on it. Pristine-perfect condition. We had looked at many other similarly priced cars, but in my research, I had seen a lot of buzz on the G90, we just could not, & did not want to afford its price even though I think it was 100% worth every penny. We test drove the G80 Sport Prestige after visiting many other dealerships and test-driving many other car manufacturers models. We both decided to purchase that very car on the spot, and it is now Mid-May 2024, and we are still "loving it!" We have driven in city, highway and taken a 600 mile (RT) to visit a family member and at the destination we were commenting we could drive another 300 miles that day and feel comfortable and rested again at the destination. (Once you adjust the seat massage correctly to your comfort level it is fantastic.) The main thing to keep in mind with this particular model (or the G90) is to take the time to adjust all of the vehicle parameters (Technology) to your body and your preferences before driving off into the sunset. This will take approximately 30 minutes per driver (Driver 1 and 2) Drive modes: "Comfort" mode which is default is absolutely comfortable soaking up road bumps and dips and there are even sensors to minimize minor potholes or rough areas of the road before the tires reach them, a very comfy luxury car ride, then you have at the other extreme "Sport Plus" mode is more than quite adequate to give an adrenaline rush, it is very responsive, tight handling with good cornering control. (Just don't use its full potential with your wife in the car!) I owned a serious BMW "5" series sedan; it was as you would expect from BMW but at a BMW price. The handling in serious sport driving was superior, but not for the many extra $$$ to own it. The G80 3.5T Sport Prestige is a perfect blend between luxury & sport that will not disappoint. The G80 also has plenty of "extra's" that the "5" series did not have, you had to go to the "7" series to get those. I am a very content old SCCA driver, racer and enthusiast that is over the top with this purchase. We purchased it originally just to have a solid full-size car to travel north America in during our retirement, yep, we found it! Atlanta to Newfoundland here we come!
