I don't disagree. If you notice, I mentioned that I was nitpicking. All those cons aren't bothersome to me...but I didn't want to seem that I was being biased. I do admit, that most likely I still have to master the console controls to avoid reaching the screen. Aside from that though, all else is great! And definitely agree with your comment regarding the design - very different to those other more established brands. I do get a lot of people complimenting on the SUV....I'm glad you're enjoying yours and thanks for watching!

@@RichWithCarsIf the lower trim is covered in leather, how do you clean and maintain it? In the video, you put an umbrella. How do you maintain the leather?

@@rinbine2713 I'd maintain it by cleaning it with a damp clean shammy and then probably clean it with Meguiars Gold Class leather cleaner/conditioner once every 6 months. Yes, I did put an umbrella inside the door cubby

I know this comment is a few months old, but have you had any issues with wind noise or with the turbo engine?

@@xkben90 so far, so good. No issues with the turbo engine nor any wind noise. No issues at all thus far...

Glad it was helpful! Good luck on the purchase.

Thanks for watching! Hope u get it!

@@RichWithCars oh I will! 😆🙌🏾

It's true! I've gotten people complimenting me on the GV80 as well. Congrats on the recent purchase.

Thank you sir!👍

Agreed - only reason why I said that is because (like I mentioned in the review) I was nitpicking....but it truly wasn't something that bothered me. Frankly, you don't notice it unless you're specifically looking for it. In many reviewers' defense, that's what they do - looking for the smallest things - whether good or bad...

Hi RLC - handsome. I have a question , would you say that this 2021 is equal to Mercedes SUV? Is this a quite car? Thanks

Definitely a level up from its Asian counterparts!

Genesis did a very good job with the design of this SUV and the rest of their lineup....

@@RichWithCars I 100% agree. Stunning vehicle.

I can almost guarantee you that the Genesis won't be as dynamic as your Porsche Cayenne. The fit, finish, design and tech though is definitely up there. I recommend you go test drive one and see how you like it....

Don't get me wrong - I love every aspect of this car, and I was nitpicking. You're absolutely right in that even more expensive vehicles have their downsides - there is no perfect vehicle out there....

Thank you! I never really considered either MB or BMW (GLE or X5) to my options when considering this SUV. The design on this is quite distinct to the existing competitors....also the quality is quite good.

Thanks for your detailed insight! Don't get me wrong, I was only nitpicking - all the dislikes don't really bother me - but ultimately no car is perfect. For sure that car tech has moved forward tremendously since your time as a young adult, but I'm comparing it to others in its class currently. Nevertheless, Genesis is really hitting it out of the park with all their models at the moment.

Hi handsome. I love the chrome. I found a seller of a 202 genesis gv80 for 54k and 4k miles would you say buy it over a palasaid colography?

Very well said on your likes and dislikes. Of course, anything having to do with looks/design is subjective. Nevertheless, your I concur with your comments. Thank you!

I think it's great, but really depends on the source of the music....I was quite impressed by the Lexicon system

So far it's been relatively good. Genesis covers oil changes the first 3 years and haven't had to change any brakes, tires nor wiper blades. They also covered the cabin air filter replacement. The only issue I dealt with was replacement of a chipped sunroof. You can check out a couple of videos I did on the issues I've had so far: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7uJrZxkr7-uiI0.htmlsi=Kk3hYnEJEd1neqKQ And kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mc6Vh7yC287ZgHk.htmlsi=ncACJNkeEDN79TZM

@@RichWithCars Thanks for the info.

Good question. I can't say regarding B&W or HK, but it's either similar or slightly worse than the Lexus ML

Quite happy they used Michelin tires....

Yes, really cool. But matte/satin paint is very difficult to maintain. I'd much rather a satin/matte wrap.

I'm at 32k miles and haven't had any additional issues since the video. Very happy so far.

If you listen to LOVE radio, you cant get it and the car is great,but you need to be a 18 year old computor wiz to work everything

I haven't had any issues yet. The parking sensors go off from time to time while I'm stopped at red lights, but that seems to happen primarily when I'm near BMW's or Ford's. I wouldn't say that the infotainment system is that complicated to learn. I just reviewed the Volvo S60, and that was NOT intuitive at all!

Yes I understand....everyone has their opinion...

I'm not 100% sure - but I think the 2022 added a Prestige Signature trim level, where 2nd row seats receive more luxurious features such as captain's chairs. I believe they also added matte paint exterior colors. Those, aren't really any dislikes for me....

Agreed

Not for sale....

I don't know of any self leveling headlights on this GV80. The hardware on this SUV, is supposed to have a matrix LED array that can light up different parts of the road depending on the conditions and other vehicles surrounding the car. Unfortunately though, it seems that Genesis didn't apply it to the North American market. This is very similar to what they did with AR (augmented reality) GPS....it's available, but they didn't apply it. I'd assume it's a software based adjustment...

@@RichWithCars TY for the info. Even when I spoke to sale staff at Genesis I got one answer -- "Yes the car has self leveling headlights" but sometimes reviewers will agree and others either don't know or say NO! I think no one seems to have the info or does not know to test the car at night. I get the same answer related to headlights that turn when the car corners on the highway. The interesting thing is that my '69 Citroen DS 19 Palas had both and Citroen introduced that feature on their vehicles in 1955 so no manufacturer can blame it on "there is no technology for that" excuse. Same thing I feel about no method to advise the driver of a single or more than one brake light/tail light gone out which the driver has no way of knowing yet one gets beeped at for not having a seatbelt on and we can tell folks to put the hands back on the steering wheel and Hyundai has vehicles that can show the blind spot area on the instrument cluster. Interestingly again is the fact that my '88 Cadillac had little lights inside at the rear windshield area that would notify the user if a light was out so the tech is available. Often today it is impossible to get people's attention due to paranoia about being attacked or hijacked when a driver tries to advise them of an issue with their lights. Maybe is YT creators of vehicle reviews would communicate with the dealerships that changes required might actually ever get made.

I know that this is an issue with Lexus vehicles as well. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with LOVE radio, so not sure what to say. I'll try it out next time I'm in my GV80.

Thank you. I still love this vehicle after 2 years of ownership and it still gets looks from people. Great alternative or even replacement to the German counterparts!

Are you referring the trim levels on the GV80? The only trim on the GV80 is the Prestige that has the soft close doors

Thanks for watching! The chrome can easily be fixed just by wrapping it with gloss black or any other color. If that's your only gripe with the GV80, I'd still consider it if I were you - at least test drive it....

That's prolly me 😛

Lol! True. But to each their own. I still prefer a sporty look, therefore having blacked out trim instead...

I don't disagree with you. I was in the same boat when I first considered this SUV. But after some time (couple of weeks) I got used to it - and really, the steering wheel is not that bad.

@@RichWithCars I have read that the steering wheel is being changed for the 2023 model

@@corinneadams7732 really? Where did you read that? I know they came out with a new steering wheel for their upcoming completely redesigned G90

@@RichWithCars i don’t think it’s much different actually on the 2022 from what I’ve seen. I bought my 2021 GV80 in July an love it so far. My dislikes are small: 1) Sometimes the door handle isn’t as sensitive as i wish when i attempt to lock the door. Of course i know that also depends on the connection to your key fob but occasionally i have to hit the button a 2nd time to lock. 2) When i get off a highway ramp with my blinker still on and then for whatever reason I need to switch the blinker the opposite direction, the camera on the dash has a slight delay in switching cameras from one side to the other. I just wish i was a little quicker. May not matter as much in your area or traffic conditions. 3) The seatbelt alert can be annoying. I always wear my seatbelt but I’ll give you an example. The other day while pulling up to my mailbox i took my seatbelt off before the car came to a complete stop. As excepted the alert started beeping. I put the car in park an exited the vehicle while it was still running. When i got back in the car the seat belt alert was still beep literally until i put my seatbelt in the buckle. Even though the car was in park an i got out of the chair. This has also happened when my passenger has taken their seatbelt off before I’ve stopped to let them out, they get out an it just keeps beeping. More of a software issue i believe they should be able to update hopefully. That’s really all i can think of that i dislike in the last 6 months. I have a 2.5 prestige, just hit 8k miles

I thought I was the only one. That is one ugly steering wheel! Lol. I'm willing to overlook it if time proves the vehicle to be reliable however.

Yes I'm aware. Tried it on my other vehicle. Thank you!

No, this is the Gold Coast Silver. It got discontinued in 2021. Not sure if they brought it back for 2022...

No. It is gold cost silver

Thanks. I came across that for my other vehicle. Just ranting tho, since I thought they should've made it standard wireless....

Ya, especially in today's environment.

Unfortunately yes, in order to get Apple Carplay or Android Auto it needs to be plugged in....😔

I'm just nitpicking. Also keep in mind that this is about $14k more expensive than an RX

Ya I agree....but you're also paying several hundred thousand dollars more

Okay 👍

Really? It's not that much noisier than the Lexus RX350, and I'd assume the BMW is noisier than a Lexus...

Ohhh wow. I actually came from a luxury package RX350 to this. I haven't experienced the same dislikes as you have - except for #5. Agree with your likes tho....sorry you didn't like the vehicle that much...

@@RichWithCars wait till you’ve had it awhile. You might also be okay if you don’t drive it in cold climates

@@beri232 you might be right. No cold weather here in FL. I wouldn't be surprised if the cooler weather is a culprit to many of those issues!

Was it really pumpy on the road?

@@3mr136 very bumpy

Watch the video again. IT IS A PRESTIGE. And as I said in the video, I didn't have REAL LEGITIMATE dislikes....I was nitpicking....

@@RichWithCars hu that's interesting. My prestige has all leather and suede not really anything other than that and the wood ..

Also for the record this wasn't them being cheap. It is in my opinion a better design if u put leather or suede around the bottom of the doors and seats it's going to look awful after a short time of use. Those materials are not easy clean and wiped off. So I don't believe they were cutting corners to be cheap it just makes more sense

Most powerful in what sense? If it's in regards to engine power - not so sure about that. But if it's regarding as a car company, then I could agree, as they're starting to release really impressive vehicles.

Ya I'd agree with some of your dislikes. But the main one I didn't mention (not having to do with the car itself though, is the ATROCIOUS SERVICE - both from corporate and from the dealership) AWFUL! DISGRACEFUL...

@@RichWithCars I think that why some people call them overpriced Hyundais. It's a whole other experience walking into a Mercedes dealership. Those guys tried to charge me full new car MSRP for a used GLA so to be fair everyone is getting in on the price gouging these days. That's why I've pretty much decided on a Model Y actually. I'd rather buy direct and cut out the middleman. Car is nice too but might have gone with an EV6 GT instead if thing had worked out differently with the GV80. Anywho... 'nuff said.

@@critophilippatos9534 yes I see your point. That EV6 GT is pretty nice though. Unfortunately, not sure if I could ever recommend any of the Hyundai/Kia brands to anyone based on my experience on their luxury side with Genesis. I definitely respect your choice with the Model Y - only downside there (based on what I've seen) is quality control and poor fit and finish. I'm very curious to know your experience with it! Congrats on the Model Y nevertheless! 👏

@@RichWithCars As a palisade limited and SE owner. i approve this message. i woundnt recommend hyundai to any one after my expirience. with the palisade.

@@Passportbros8 I assume bad service? Sorry to hear....
