GENESIS G80 ELECTRIFIED REVIEW | IS THIS THE BEST EV SALOON ON SALE?

EV Channels Review

Harry King of Buckle Up delivers a comprehensive review of the Genesis G80 Electrified, praising its striking design that often fools onlookers into thinking it's a Bentley. He highlights the premium interior, comfortable seats with heating, cooling, and massage functions, and the extensive technology suite, including a slick infotainment system and advanced driver aids. The driving experience is lauded for its comfortable ride, well-judged steering, and strong performance, with 365 horsepower and a 0-62 mph time around 5 seconds. The real-world range is estimated at around 280 miles, with accurate indicators and fast charging capabilities (10-80% in 30 minutes). However, the review points out significant drawbacks: the boot space is compromised by a large hump due to the shared platform, resulting in less capacity than a VW Golf, and rear passenger headroom is limited for taller individuals due to the raised seats and coupe-like roofline. Despite these issues, King concludes that the G80 Electrified is an excellent, premium EV purchase, especially considering its competitive pricing against German rivals, provided buyers can accept the boot size and are not excessively tall.
