2021 Genesis GV80 | Luxury SUV Family Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 07. 2024
- Thanks to my day job at Kelley Blue Book, I drive and review lots of cars. This 2021 Genesis GV80 is one of them. The 2021 GV80 is an all-new SUV from Genesis that competes with premium midsize SUVs like the Acura MDX and Volvo XC90…or perhaps more elite offerings like the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE. In this video, me, my wife, and our daughter test the 2021 Genesis GV80 to review its positives and negatives from a family perspective.

That’s definitely a very happy family. They make this fun to watch!
Thanks, Matt! My wife and daughter are kind to put up with me. 😁

The materials in the GV80 look ridiculously nice for that price point.
I almost expected Micah to pull alongside that Defender and go "Hey, it's Doug Demuro!" and Doug waves back.
I'm not the biggest fan of SUVs but dayum!! Genesis is making me want this!!
Great review! And, can we just take a moment to appreciate how great an editor Evie is? Bravo!
Hands down the BEST 3 row midsize Crossover in its price range. Best looking exterior, and best looking, elegant and designed interior. Genesis is killing it right now. Thank goodness I have NEVER been one who buys things because of its label. From clothes, to shoes, to vehicles, I have always looked who offered me the most. Bought my first car in 1999, a 2000 Chrysler Sebring LXI. What a piece of crap that car was after 30,000 miles. When I first bought it I loved it. That car was easily on par with BMW or Mercedes. After around the 2nd year and 30,000 miles, it was all over. Forced me to buy a 2000 Hyundai Elantra off a friend of mine because my Sebring spent so much time at the mechanic. I have ever since been with Hyundai. I did buy a Kia, but only because Hyundai owned them. I have a 2015 Hyundai Genesis sedan I been trading in for almost 2 years, but can't seem to let it go. Crazy as this sounds, I am thinking of trading in for a new N-Line Sonata. I test drove a G70 and loved it, but too small. The new G80 is a little out of my price range. I do like the Stinger, it's big enough and practical, so it will be between that and the N-Line.
Micah, you gotta a nice looking family!
I'm not sure I deserve such a wonderful wife and kiddo, but I'm grateful to have them. ♥️
love this car and I'm excited for the gv70 to come out, I'm not even into crossovers
definitely looking forward to the GV70, it has a good number of different design touches that distinguish it from the GV80. Genesis is killing it, the updated G70 looks great too. I would mob one anyday, so much value....
If Genesis would get their dealership shit together, I could see the GV70 and GV80 pushing Genesis easily over 100,000 units after a single year.
@@panzer_TZ indeed, I saw a pic of what their dealers would look like. Looks beutiful.
I'm seriously looking forward to the GV70. I saw a review with Charlie on Asian Petrohead and it's simply fantastic! Can't wait!!
Oh brother the "I would never be caught dead in a crossover but..." crowd is so tiring. Do you also have a problem with pickup trucks? Because 99.9% of the people that buy those never use them for anything either.
Your reviews are always entertaining. You keep posting, I'll keep watching.
Gotta find a girl that looks at you the way Evie looks at Micah *wink* :P
Thankfully I did!
It was the slo mo check out for me 😆🤣
Done.
Love your videos. Love the fun and warm atmosphere. Can't believe you guys don't have more viewers!
Love the video Micah!!! I watch a TON of car videos and I really liked this practical style with the family. Your daughter is SO adorable BTW. Great job. Keep up the great work and best wishes to you and your family for a healthy, happy, and successful new year.
This review was fun to watch, you guys made it so much fun , good job I will be watching some of your other videos.
I love Evie's jacket! So cute! When do you do the shirtless segment of a review? I won't even go shirtless for a whole review, just a segment. ;P
Its cool that you include your family Micah...another entertaining and informative video.
All i had to watch was 1 video and i can tell you all will be my new go to for these types of video! Subscribed! 😎😎😎
Welp rip Lexus. You’ve been outclassed
We’re looking at moving to one vehicle and this was fairly helpful. Thanks and subscribed
The indicator lights that are consistent from the front, side and back are one of my favorite features of this vehicle...unique and trick looking... The video screen in the dash showing what's in your blind spot when turning on the indicators is another one of my must haves..
Have to tell you. I started watching your videos with your Enstrom and absolutely love them. I have now started to watch your auto review videos as well, and I'm not even looking for a car.. Your videos are very well put together. Great quality and content.. Your attitude, demeaner, and constant engagement with the viewer is top notch and what keeps me engaged as well. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for all of us to watch and enjoy. Happiness and contentment is contagious no matter what anyone says.. Keep it up my friend. Some of the best videos on CZcams.. Merry Christmas to you and yours..
And a Merry Christmas to you too, Robert! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a kind message. It's been a true joy learning how to make car reviews with my wife and daughter. I think 2021 is going to be a good year for our channel and the world in general. Cheers!
Yes! Been waiting for this one
The family reviews are the best reviews.
Great guy, great review, subscribed. Beautiful family
That was absolutely the most fun vehicle review I’ve seen to date. And very well put together! I will be subscribing for sure.
That is so wonderful to hear! We're glad to have you aboard.
Man genesis killed it with the new gv80
It annihilates the qx60,xt6 and mdx
100% Agree!
Agreed, if I was in the market, I'd definitely take it over those guys
100% agree, their new design language is so futuristic, it is definitely going to age well...
@@nicholasbabeaux2052 true
wait til their 2 coupes releases from their genesis line up....
Great car Micah. Love ur family.
Is that the new hood you drove by?
Happy New year
This suv looks amazing, also awesome video😃😃😃
Great idea testing with the family!
LMFAO! love these awesome reviews!!! very detailed and you truly get to experience the car like a ride along without even being there ^_^
The Landrover Defender driver will be smiling... for about a month or two
This is a GEORGEOUS vehicle... a gorgeous family to match the pimped out ride.. Great review
I think Genesis is knocking it out of the park with these new models! Gorgeous!!
⚡️⚡️The GV80 is def a direct competitor to the MDX & XC90..all of the non-snob vehicle brands ! Nice family Micah ✨✨
This may not be as sporty as the X5/GLE, but as a luxury cruiser, it's very bit as good. LOVE it!!
I just love the both of you. I know I say that all the time. But dang it is just so nice to see a family the way you are with each other. And that girl of yours is going to be a knock out when older. (no pun intended) Happy Holidays to you all and Happy New year
Aw, thanks! It's such a privilege to make these videos with my wife and kiddo.
Car actually looks pretty good hadn’t seen it till now
I love Evie’s jacket! She’s totally a style icon!
She is!! I love it!! 👀👀
Great content with some humour what more can we ask for ..
Drop dead gorgeous! My new favorite midsize CUV. Hope they do a hybrid model soon.
Lovely family! Love from South Korea, and You just got a new subscriber :)
Sending love back your way! I've had some wonderful times in South Korea. Cheers!
NIce review .. and super cool family..
Awesome video Micah!😸
Hi5, Ryan!!
Jack and Mark from Savage Geese sent me over to check your reviews out. Nice that you include the family.
Jack and Mark are the absolute best! Thanks for swinging by, Richard.
I actually really like this GV80's style, don't think it has a bad angle.
These videos are so much more informative and fun than the KBB videos
Man I love all the new Genesis vehicles!
Luv the gv80. Wish there was a hybrid version. Also waiting for year two when they improve the suspension which seems to be a minor weak point. I appreciate the turn signal side monitors that display in the dash console. Really makes up for the leftie blindside as Evie coined it.
I love you to, and your reviews!!🙌🏾🙌🏾
Right back at ya! 🙌
Another reason for the side mounted controls on the passenger seat is so the DRIVER can move the passenger seat when empty to change/improve visibility without having to stop and get out.
LMAO when you sped up to the Defender I bet more than one of us hoped it was Doug. Your daughter is low-key hilarious. I saw a GV80 for the first time at the mall this weekend, it really looks great, coincidentally a previous generation Bentley Bentayga was there also and it most certainly did not look good at all. LOL
The lift can be adjusted for height. I had to adjust mine because it was hitting my garage door whenever I open it so I was pleasantly surprise when I found out that you can adjust it. They have pre set settings or you can manually adjust it to your height of preference
Beautiful family bro!
The only family review that matters
Love your reviews Micah! But are you sure this requires premium fuel? In other markets, this same engine does not.
Wow you nailed it about the pillar that saved woods life
When you switched to evie driving I instantly noticed how thick the steering wheel was. Or just small hands? Innuendo iguana
Same! Once I saw how thick that steering wheel looked, I couldn't unsee it. It looks abnormally large
What a beautiful family. God bless
Thanks for switching driving with your wife, I could imagine my wife driving with similar emotions/ challenges 😀
This car never interests me, HOWEVER, you guys make it worth watching! And enjoyed it! 👍🏻
Fabulous 👍🏻
Beautiful looking car
Hey Micah
You forgot the self parking feature ;)
How about adding door handle storage area test to the armrest test? Some cars just have bars but others have a little storage space to put... coins and chapsticks? Lol
I've always been partial to BMWs and Mercedes...but hoping to get my first Genesis within the next year or two.. Will pay extra for the 22" shoes because those big wheels look incredible and fill the wheel well nicely.. Best looking SUV on the market.. (tho I still do like the X5 but can't justify the price difference for the badge..)
LOL 😂 thank you, Evie, for minute 3:21 😍
5:20 is that the windowless white van that you'll be reviewing at 100k subs?
I would love to see you in a platinum pathfinder
Waiting for the day when the daughter takes over the channel.
I'll happily hand her the reigns.🙂
Love the new GV80!
Only 13,400 subscribers away from the white, windowless van review! Let's get this done!
Micah and Evie - this channel is so great in so many ways. Micah represents the best of the new era of Auto Journalists. Hustles, independent, down to earth with no frilly unneeded formulaic words just straight to the real experience. Evie’s perspective just adds to all of it. The big companies (including one of Micah’s) are struggling to utilize what the independents have already figured out and the audience is reacting to. Bravo and Brava and....bravita to the lil’ human.
Man, what a kind and thoughtful comment. Thanks so much for watching and encouraging us. You deserve a big hi5!
What a great family dynamic! My only addition to the remarks is that this is not a true 3rd row SUV and even with the 3rd Row option, the Genesis really falls flat. I wouldn't even call the 3rd row an emergency row. This is a terrible purchase if you intend on having more than 2 kids. The comment comparing the Genesis to the MDX (with a true 3rd row) is a stretch in that regard.
The way your wife was staring at you I'm surprised you guys only have one kid..lol
Your comment got a serious laugh from both of us. Cheers!
“When you flip this car you’ll be glad it (the thick B pillar) is there”. Very prescient given what happened to Tiger Woods driving one these!
What about the cup holders in 2nd row? Are they stable?
So, Micah, are you saying the knob to control the touch screen is knurley. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
Shes so adorable💛💕😍🤗🥰
@5:19 Windowless white van. review coming soon???
We're still in inching toward 100k. But we'll get there in due time. :)
I always prefer Micah doing the review alone!
Micah, If you only post one car review every 2-3-4 weeks, that 100k goal is definitely gonna take some time.
Yup. 2020 has been an overwhelming year. It's been difficult to just produce the number of reviews we have. But we've got plans to expand in 2021. Good things coming soon!
@@MicahMuzio wish you the best of lucks, love your family reviews even though I don't have a family lol.
9:09 we need dedicated POV drive videos!!
14:08 sick burn! 🔥😛
I’m confused. Sometimes on the screen, it says the V6 has 395 lb. ft. of torque and at other times it says 391 lb. ft. There aren’t two different V6 engines offered, so what’s going on?
Micah Muzio will be reviewing the new 2028 (insert brand/model name) and his adorable daughter will still be in her second row car seat.
5:19 Windowless white van 🤔
Y'all are so much fun, "It has a nice rack." Haha. Great review too. The GV80 looks kinda tight inside, but very nice.
“......will not be ignored” was from Fatal Attraction (Glenn Close), not Basic Instinct.
I want to hear a Micah cover of “While My Toy Guitar Gently Weeps”
😂
woulda been funny if Doug Demuro was driving that defender
I still can't get used to the counter-clockwise tachometer :-(
Micah how does it compare with the Palisade? As a current Palisade owner I noticed a few similar features- the stitching seat pattern is the same, and lane departure warning sounds. Is the GV80 worth the price premium, does it feel luxury enough or would you recommend other competitors in the luxury segment?
The GV80 hits a sweet spot between luxury and value. Versus the Palisade it's smaller but riding on a rear-wheel-drive platform imbues the GV with a more emotional driving experience. For space and pragmatism, I'd stick with the Palisade. If you're willing to sacrifice some practicality a plusher cabin, graceful exterior styling, and a more sporting on-road demeanor, the GV80 is an excellent choice.
This or the MDX would get my money . Ugh not sure what to pick
How was the audio system quality?
What's cost of gas full tank? Any cost of oil changes ?
I really love the GV80 and the G80 from Genesis. Both look outstanding inside and out. Very bespoke looks which I like. My only criticism of Genesis isn't the product but the dealerships you have to go into to attempt to buy them. They should have followed Tesla and did direct sales. I would have a G70 in my driveway if they would have had that sales method. I'm also noticing Genesis products are about one hundred to two hundred pounds heavier than the German rivals for the GV80 and G80. Otherwise I'm very impressed with what Genesis is doing.
Excellent remark about the dealership experience. That's one of the prime reasons Genesis has focused on their concierge services. But yeah, if you're buying a premium/luxury vehicle eventually you're going to wander into the dealership. That experience better reflect the money you spent on the car.
Man... I don’t want to like anything Hyundai/Genesis... 😏 but your review is making it harder to ignore this brand. Another Great review🤘 with the family!
Thanks, dude! 🤘
Hyundai, Kia and Genesis are killing these days. You have to love them. I bought a Hyundai Elantra, and Hyundai has made me fall in love with cars again!
Do rear doors have smart entry access?
Design: Overall, I like it. It's distinctive unlike every other luxury SUVs in grocery parking lots. But I can't get over the large grill and the "mature" steering wheel design. Not deal breakers, but just don't like them.
Features: As usual, Hyundai does a great job.
Who's it for: 1) Hyundai/Kia/Genesis fans; 2) Sensible buyers who want the luxury features and practicalities of expensive brands but want to save $10-20k for a similarly equipped SUV.
conclusion: I think it might convince a few potential German luxury SUV buyers, but more importantly, it will definitely eat away at the Acura, Lexus, and Infiniti market share. And for a new luxury Korean brand, beating the Japanese at their own game might be the most significant point of Genesis.
God bless your family
3:30 We’re all definitely enjoying the view 🙂
