2023 GENESIS ELECTRIFIED G80 - POV REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a comprehensive POV drive of the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80, highlighting its strong performance and luxurious feel, positioning it as a compelling alternative in the luxury EV sedan market. The dual-motor AWD system delivers 365 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, offering quick acceleration that rivals its gasoline counterpart, despite the added weight of the 87.2 kWh battery. The reviewer praises the comfortable ride, quiet cabin, and user-friendly interior, particularly the physical climate controls and the Genesis 3D gauge cluster. However, minor drawbacks include a slightly higher seating position affecting headroom, a noticeable delay in regen engagement, and somewhat digital-feeling brakes. The reviewer also notes the absence of wireless Apple CarPlay as a small oversight for the price point. Despite these points, the overall verdict is highly positive, emphasizing the G80's blend of luxury, performance, and value, especially when compared to more expensive German rivals.
