THE ELECTRIC GENESIS G80 DID ME DIRTY

EV Channels Review

The reviewer finds the 2023 Genesis G80 Electric to be a surprisingly compelling luxury sedan, offering a blend of comfort, performance, and premium features that rival established German competitors like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, often at a better value. Key highlights include its incredibly comfortable adaptive suspension with road preview, a well-appointed interior with luxurious touches like a suede headliner and massaging seats, and a unique 3D instrument cluster. The reviewer praises its smooth, refined driving dynamics, especially in comfort and sport modes, and appreciates familiar physical buttons. However, the G80 Electric is not without its drawbacks. The trunk suffers from a significant hump that reduces usable space, and the front trunk (frunk) is practically non-existent compared to Tesla models. The lane-keep assist system is noted as being unimpressive, and the wired Apple CarPlay is seen as an outdated omission. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer concludes that the G80 Electric is an excellent car, particularly for those with home charging, offering a high-quality experience that makes it worth considering, especially if found on dealer lots with potential for negotiation.
