Genesis Automobile……

Anyone know anything good or bad about the Genesis GV 80????

Been looking for a decent AWD long term SUV &trading in the Dodge for….not impressed with Dodge’s long term performance & want something good in the snow for the wife as well as long distance road trips

Never heard of them until a few months ago. Have seen one on the road....they did get car of the year in motor trend I believe.....know nothing about them.

I had never heard of them either till researching SUV’s to replace the Charger
Its a Hyundai at heart but a entirely separate division designed to compete with the midrange luxury vehicle segment and designed in California & Germany it seems 
The GV80’s competition is along the lines of the BMWx5 and Mercedes Benz GLC ect…

We have test driven 1 & talked to 2 different dealers, closest dealer is little over 120 miles away

They are very comfortable & luxurious, would be great for our California & Florida trips but want more information about them before pulling the trigger

Not a fan of the caddy or Lexus let alone the BMW, but tempted to check out Mercedes Benz’s SUV’s just for the fun of it

Test drove a 3.5T GV80 prestige some highway & some canyon roads……

We liked…the tech is interesting but no wireless car play, has to be plugged in….
Otherwise no real complaints, nice ride for a Korean vehicle Every other Kia/Hyundai I’ve driven/rode in seemed cheap, uncomfortable and cheaply made

Salesman had no idea where in Korea they are made & said so, no blowing smoke up my skirt….while the other saleswoman was a poor liar among other things

They are no haggle MSRP sales….but they both have additional mandatory add on’s one dealer says they add on $1,200 but we can pick what we want since I’ve got a window tint/clear bra shop already
Other dealer said nope, we put on an anti theft “thing” that was mandatory & window tint/clear bra & that’s non negotiable

Colors are important, I really dislike white, blue looks black & others are meh. Only the top of the line GV80 is available in a nice looking red and it’s very hard to find those cars

Shady dealer has a red one inbound but not being willing to waver on the “mandatory” garbage that’s pure profit for them….they also do not exchange vehicles with other dealers… said it’s not worth it for them….

The red one should be in the 20th & we will be back down the 22nd so I said I want to see that one & test drive it as I’m OCD/anal & don’t want to drive one and get another, the salelady was miffed but like I care lol

Not really sure what we shall do…

They are coming out with a GV80 Coup in 25 as well as a minor makeover & tweaking the current lineup & don’t need to “upgrade”
