From Cadillac to Genesis

Midwest Driver, 01/29/2019

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

My original review of my Genesis G80 was 5 stars. I traded in a Cadillac. I updated my review, after owning it for 3 years and selling it. I traded it in for a GM car. I only had 6,000 miles on it so why would I get rid of it? It comes down to issues I had, and the lack of response Genesis had to what can only be described as either poor technology choices and lack of concern about …

My 3rd consecutive Genesis

2020 Genesis G80 3.8 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 8A)

My 2020 G80 was a no brainer for me when my 2018 G80 lease was up. I started my love of the Genesis in 2012 with the prior generation, when it was under the Hyundai nameplate. In 2015 I leased the current generation Genesis (still under Hyundai nameplate). 2018 marked my 1st under its own division. I say the G80 is a no brainer simply because there isn't any other vehicle within its …

Sweet car with all the amenities needed

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

Great car, 3.8 has really good acceleration and the base model has all the safety features anyone would need. pre collision warning, lane assist, pedestrian crossing, etc. The interior is easy to use and very functional with a smooth quiet and comfortable ride. No regrets, this is by far the nicest car I have ever purchased and for the money it feels like a steal. I was very weary about …

Excellent Car!

Adam W, 06/24/2019

2019 Genesis G80 3.3T Sport 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

Bought the 3.3 turbo (Sport) version after having leased the 3.8 AWD for 3 years prior. Satisfies most all my wants from the 3.8L, much better handling, great acceleration, much younger demo target (I'm 50) than the 3.8L which seems to attract the older crowd. Still the mpg is a major downside for the car but beyond that it's just a well built, well thought through, excellent car to …

Automatic Emergency Braking: Initiates auto braking to avoid or mitigate a front impact if the driver does not react in time.
Lane Departure Warning/Lane Keeping Assist: Issues audible warning if the driver drifts from the lane without signaling. Introduces subtle steering input to keep the car in the lane.
Driver Attention Alert: Monitors and analyzes driver steering, lane position and drive time, and alerts the driver if it detects erratic driving patterns.
