GENESIS G80 EV DRIVING REVIEW - CAN THIS ELECTRIFIED SEDAN CHALLENGE EQE AND MODEL S?

EV Channels Review

The Genesis G80 EV presents a compelling package with its elegant design and strong performance, particularly its rapid acceleration and quick DC charging capabilities thanks to the 800-volt architecture. The reviewer highlights the comfortable ride and the intuitive manual climate controls as significant positives. However, the EV version suffers from a compromised seating position for taller individuals due to the battery placement, leading to reduced headroom and an awkward feel compared to the combustion engine variant. The reviewer also notes the use of animal skin for seats as a dated choice and expresses disappointment with the trunk space reduction. While the G80 EV offers a comfortable and quiet driving experience, it lacks the sporty feel and precise steering found in competitors like the Mercedes EQE.
