1
00:00:00,079 --> 00:00:06,299
Grandpa cars I absolutely love them and today we have the absolute best one on

2
00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:11,519
the market this right here is the Genesis G80 EV and man it is a wicked

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:15,480
car to drive let's take a look I think the looks of this thing are incredible I

4
00:00:13,860 --> 00:00:20,520
was asked this morning at McDonald's if I was driving a Bentley and nope just a

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:24,060
Genesis also a press car nothing on here shows you that it's an EV except for

6
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:29,640
just a little logo here and there we have the charging port 350 kilowatt

7
00:00:26,820 --> 00:00:33,239
charging that is freaking fast in see right here we have a little air curtain

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:38,040
to put air around the wheel so it doesn't create too much turbulence

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,780
overall coefficient of drag of 0.26 is

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:44,879
excellent not as low as something like the eqs but it also doesn't look like a

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:48,420
shoe that earns at a range of about 450

12
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:50,940
kilometers really good here we have two

13
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:54,899
headlights it's I thought it was kind of weird at first but it's really grown on

14
00:00:52,739 --> 00:00:59,579
me and I especially like how it goes all the way to the side with the indicators

15
00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:04,440
looks fantastic in my opinion these Arrow rims are only for the EV model too

16
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,880
bad I quite like them I also appreciate that they're only 19 inches which only

17
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,900
they are still massive but at least it isn't taking up all of this helps with

18
00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:18,840
ride Comfort a bit also we have some Michelin excises on here not surprising

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,759
but 515 foot-pounds of torque cannot be

20
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:25,140
contained by winter tires poor guys they tried though also I

21
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:28,560
really like how the indicators go all the way along the side just a nice

22
00:01:26,580 --> 00:01:34,380
little detail the total length of this guy is just over five meters meaning you

23
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:38,400
should legitimately make sure that it will fit in your garage before you buy

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:44,939
it also you would think with that much car you'd be getting lots of storage

25
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:46,439
let's see if it has a front

26
00:01:44,939 --> 00:01:51,960
I haven't opened this yet I'm just assuming that there's nothing in here

27
00:01:49,579 --> 00:01:57,240
yep that looks like an engine right there EV but wow there is no extra space

28
00:01:55,259 --> 00:02:00,360
in here whatsoever that's one of the many problems of this being an EV

29
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:05,759
conversion let's look at the other ones the 87.2 kilowatt hour battery is stored

30
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:11,160
underneath the car which means you don't get a whole lot of room in here uh seats

31
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:13,080
as low as it'll go I have maybe inch and

32
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:18,599
a half two inches of space right here I'm six feet also means no sunroof that

33
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,660
friggin sucks I love sunroofs but uh you don't get one here because otherwise

34
00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:26,040
your head would be I don't know just hitting the stuff that holds it also

35
00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:29,760
trunk space not fantastic especially given the size of this car big old hump

36
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,720
right there where I'm presuming the high voltage Electronics live story mode

37
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,620
bosses this is not your car you might be able to fit a body in there probably not

38
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,019
even one have to chop them up it's terrible also sorry Genesis Canada uh

39
00:02:40,739 --> 00:02:46,860
the material blue of this looks fantastic kind of changes from green to

40
00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:51,720
blue depending on how you look at it but uh it's winter in Vancouver we did the

41
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,400
best we good hopping into the back seat

42
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,239
oh wow I don't have nearly enough legroom here good thing I have controls

43
00:02:55,860 --> 00:03:01,920
for the passenger seat so I can just move it up like that oh there we go rear

44
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:04,980
seats in this very comfortable only small complaint if you're a little bit

45
00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:10,440
taller than me your head's going to be hitting the ceiling I'm millimeters away

46
00:03:07,260 --> 00:03:12,780
also very nice middle wrist rest that

47
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:17,459
has our seat Heating and our rear peasant blocker got all three of them

48
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:23,099
wait oh my God I have to do it myself backseat's terrible not actually also

49
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:27,599
have rear climate control very nice popping into the driver's seat this

50
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,959
thing is exceptionally comfortable I absolutely love it we have all of the

51
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:35,459
controls that you expect to have full stir adjustment even seat firmness

52
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:40,140
adjustment no massage sheets though so uh that's points off for that in this

53
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:43,500
price range oh wait I lied turns out there is a button over here that allows

54
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:48,239
you to do massaging stuff isn't in the infotainment for some reason but

55
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:50,280
whatever select seat then Ergo motion

56
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:55,560
seat I think it's only for my ours the mode Cycles as follows pelvic stretching

57
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,480
lumbar stretching whole body oh that

58
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:01,440
feels pretty good one thing that I'm not sure I'm convinced of this steering

59
00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:05,159
wheel looks kind of weird very functional though so that's a plus we

60
00:04:03,420 --> 00:04:09,060
don't have stupid capacitive buttons or anything like that good old roller for

61
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:14,040
volume that's sort of the whole theme of this everything in here just makes sense

62
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:18,720
to use it took me only like a day to get used to using this car one normally

63
00:04:15,659 --> 00:04:20,820
takes me four to a week depending on the

64
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:25,380
brand just stuff like oh I want it to be warmer turn the knob there we go want

65
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:30,780
turn the fan up or down boom right there super easy same with all of this it just

66
00:04:28,740 --> 00:04:34,860
works and it's a dedicated button for it and everything in here feels fantastic

67
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:39,000
this is the sort of thing where like the eqs was showing off all of the tech that

68
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:43,139
Mercedes could shove into something whereas this right here is using Tech in

69
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:46,139
much more thoughtful ways where it actually like makes sense and you want

70
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:49,320
to use it also the buttons don't feel like garbage overall the quality of

71
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:52,620
materials in here is just exceptional the stuff that you want to be soft is

72
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,400
nice and soft stuff that you want to be hard it's nice and hard and it just well

73
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,440
it feels like the interior of a hundred thousand dollar car I like it let's give

74
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,940
her a drive after a giver in this segue to our sponsor grammarly thanks to

86
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,039
why you're spinning right there 0-60 in

87
00:05:53,580 --> 00:06:00,240
just under five seconds this thing's pretty rapid although not in an insane

88
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:05,580
way like a lot of cars are like it's very subdued and it's tuning now it is

89
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:10,800
electric motors so you have the problem where like once you're above 100

90
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:15,539
kilometers per hour or so it is sort of running out of gas and something much

91
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:19,800
less powerful that's gas is going to be able to blast past you but you're

92
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,039
already speeding then anyway so unless you're on the Autobahn who cares most of

93
00:06:21,660 --> 00:06:27,660
your time I imagine will be spent in Comfort mode and man it is comfortable

94
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:32,220
in here they have active noise cancellation from the speakers which

95
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:37,020
makes us one of the quietest cars that I've ever been in this is Apparently one

96
00:06:34,620 --> 00:06:44,160
decibel louder on the highway than a Mercedes S-Class Maybach hot damn now

97
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,740
the suspension isn't perfect in sport

98
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:51,780
mode it's not really sporty it's kind of wallowy and it's a bit reboundy which I

99
00:06:49,380 --> 00:06:55,979
found is sort of a theme in Hyundai cars it also isn't perfect at filtering out

100
00:06:53,880 --> 00:07:00,060
bumps like when you're at lower speeds it tends to get a little bit rough just

101
00:06:58,259 --> 00:07:05,280
because there's so much weight in this thing but overall especially for an

102
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,560
electric car man this drives nice it's

103
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:12,720
the sort of thing we're able to just I don't know sit back let it take you

104
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:17,039
along it's pretty great what makes that comfortable go from A to B experience

105
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:21,479
even better is the driving assists Lane centering this fantastic I'm just going

106
00:07:19,380 --> 00:07:26,940
to let her do this turn here and I trust it for the most part also adaptive

107
00:07:24,419 --> 00:07:32,160
cruise fantastic some of the best that I've ever experienced what makes this

108
00:07:29,039 --> 00:07:34,979
all even better and more relaxing is the

109
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:40,319
Lexicon sound system it is it's a bit complicated but in a word it

110
00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:44,940
is fantastic it's pretty clear this is a car made for old people and that

111
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:50,220
particularly shows with the sound system and how it's tuned the highs in this

112
00:07:47,479 --> 00:07:57,060
much brighter than it should be if it's to just be flat bass not quite where it

113
00:07:54,060 --> 00:07:59,400
should be our sound engineer Sam took

114
00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:05,220
this and he found that plus three plus four in the base minus seven in the

115
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:07,199
treble is what got us the most accurate

116
00:08:05,220 --> 00:08:11,160
to what we're looking for in a car even though there are 21 speakers in here I

117
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:16,199
was a little bit concerned at first because like the tweeters aim down the

118
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:19,500
mids are going into my leg the mid base is down there sub I don't know where

119
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:24,000
that is somewhere back there but somehow it becomes all coherent at lower volumes

120
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:28,740
The Sound Stage is sort of down here but you turn it up a bit

121
00:08:26,180 --> 00:08:31,340
and it starts surrounding you it's fantastic

122
00:08:35,580 --> 00:08:42,839
it's not the best sound system that I've ever heard like S90 absolutely thrashes

123
00:08:39,899 --> 00:08:47,820
it eqs doesn't quite have the extension but much better Sound Stage but then

124
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:53,100
again apparently they only make the sound system for this car and the

125
00:08:49,980 --> 00:08:54,839
Rolls-Royce Phantom so yeah it's pretty

126
00:08:53,100 --> 00:09:00,060
freaking good now one thing you might have noticed is that the infotainment's

127
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:04,560
pretty far away so if I want to uh all the way over there not the best except

128
00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:08,820
they have this little dial down here and it actually works really well so you

129
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:12,480
have physical buttons for home menu and back and then this sort of even an

130
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:16,980
Android Auto Works quite well but in genesis's system here Works fantastic

131
00:09:15,060 --> 00:09:20,580
I've just been using this dial for everything instead of using the touch

132
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:24,660
screen and I actually have liked it way more than I expected

133
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:28,700
okay we've got some Corners here how does a handle

134
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,700
oh

135
00:09:30,540 --> 00:09:35,160
pretty freaking good given the size of

136
00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:40,019
this thing especially given that we're on winter tires here but it's not a

137
00:09:38,220 --> 00:09:44,880
sports car by any stretch of the imagination so you do have the problems

138
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:48,839
of like some understeer it kind of feels like it's leaning over the front left

139
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:52,500
tire which isn't great but at the same time it does all of the handling in a

140
00:09:51,420 --> 00:09:57,420
way that you know even if it isn't the most

141
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:03,000
dynamic ever it makes me just want to chill out this is probably the car that

142
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,980
I have been thrashing the least of all

143
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:10,260
the Press cars that I have like I've been respecting this thing because it

144
00:10:06,959 --> 00:10:12,360
wants me to do that and that's a pretty

145
00:10:10,260 --> 00:10:17,459
tall ask when you have a press car for a week no some nitpicks we have Flappy

146
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:22,080
paddles here to change how much regen you're getting and uh just leave it on

147
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:26,000
level two all the rest are bad so we don't have a true one pedal mode which

148
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:32,100
and also if you put it to like level one

149
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:38,339
of regen it feels kind of weird level three level four pretty terrible you

150
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:40,200
don't have proper like Auto hold or

151
00:10:38,339 --> 00:10:43,800
proper one pedal driving so it's sort of like is decelerating you and then right

152
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:47,880
before you stop it starts accelerating it's weird I don't know just live with

153
00:10:45,660 --> 00:10:52,380
level two you'll be happy also Auto hold pretty bad I just turned it off and then

154
00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:56,899
I was happy so whatever oh well

155
00:10:54,060 --> 00:11:02,640
traction control off corner these poor tires given the yacht-like

156
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:07,620
length of this car you might expect it to be terrible to park but with the rear

157
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:12,120
wheel steering and the excellent 360 cam this thing's actually very simple to get

158
00:11:10,620 --> 00:11:16,560
into a tight spot can you come a bit closer to the rear of

159
00:11:13,620 --> 00:11:19,800
the car what uh we wanted you in front of the car

160
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:24,660
actually I just meant to say the rear of the truck so with the Genesis G80 EV

161
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,920
this thing right here is a hundred and four thousand dollars Canadian which is

162
00:11:26,579 --> 00:11:34,440
pretty steep but when you compare it to the competition it is very good compared

163
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:39,300
to the eqs this thing absolutely Slaughters it but then again like some

164
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:45,060
Heelys and a pack of Red Bull slutters at eqs so uh I don't know not too many

165
00:11:42,420 --> 00:11:49,380
points there Genesis but man this right here as far as a car to just comfortably

166
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:54,600
get from point A to point B is absolutely fantastic this is where EVS

167
00:11:51,839 --> 00:11:58,320
really and truly shine just comfortable grand Tours to get you to work and back

168
00:11:57,300 --> 00:12:03,420
from work quietly and man

169
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:07,320
I really like this car if you're an

170
00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:08,700
older dad or a grandpa man look into

171
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,600
this thing if you've got the cash because it is freaking worth it in my

172
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:20,720
opinion and you know what's also worth it hitting like getting subscribed and just

173
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,720
having a fantastic day see you later
