WEBVTT 00:00:00.079 --> 00:00:06.299 Grandpa cars I absolutely love them and today we have the absolute best one on 00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:11.519 the market this right here is the Genesis G80 EV and man it is a wicked 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 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 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 00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:29.640 just a little logo here and there we have the charging port 350 kilowatt 00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:33.239 charging that is freaking fast in see right here we have a little air curtain 00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:38.040 to put air around the wheel so it doesn't create too much turbulence 00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:39.780 overall coefficient of drag of 0.26 is 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 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:48.420 shoe that earns at a range of about 450 00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:50.940 kilometers really good here we have two 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 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 00:00:56.879 --> 00:01:04.440 looks fantastic in my opinion these Arrow rims are only for the EV model too 00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:08.880 bad I quite like them I also appreciate that they're only 19 inches which only 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 00:01:10.740 --> 00:01:18.840 ride Comfort a bit also we have some Michelin excises on here not surprising 00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:20.759 but 515 foot-pounds of torque cannot be 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:25.140 contained by winter tires poor guys they tried though also I 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:28.560 really like how the indicators go all the way along the side just a nice 00:01:26.580 --> 00:01:34.380 little detail the total length of this guy is just over five meters meaning you 00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:38.400 should legitimately make sure that it will fit in your garage before you buy 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:44.939 it also you would think with that much car you'd be getting lots of storage 00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:46.439 let's see if it has a front 00:01:44.939 --> 00:01:51.960 I haven't opened this yet I'm just assuming that there's nothing in here 00:01:49.579 --> 00:01:57.240 yep that looks like an engine right there EV but wow there is no extra space 00:01:55.259 --> 00:02:00.360 in here whatsoever that's one of the many problems of this being an EV 00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:05.759 conversion let's look at the other ones the 87.2 kilowatt hour battery is stored 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 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:13.080 as low as it'll go I have maybe inch and 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 00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:21.660 friggin sucks I love sunroofs but uh you don't get one here because otherwise 00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:26.040 your head would be I don't know just hitting the stuff that holds it also 00:02:23.220 --> 00:02:29.760 trunk space not fantastic especially given the size of this car big old hump 00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:33.720 right there where I'm presuming the high voltage Electronics live story mode 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 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:43.019 even one have to chop them up it's terrible also sorry Genesis Canada uh 00:02:40.739 --> 00:02:46.860 the material blue of this looks fantastic kind of changes from green to 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 00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:53.400 best we good hopping into the back seat 00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:57.239 oh wow I don't have nearly enough legroom here good thing I have controls 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 00:02:59.640 --> 00:03:04.980 seats in this very comfortable only small complaint if you're a little bit 00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:10.440 taller than me your head's going to be hitting the ceiling I'm millimeters away 00:03:07.260 --> 00:03:12.780 also very nice middle wrist rest that 00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:17.459 has our seat Heating and our rear peasant blocker got all three of them 00:03:15.239 --> 00:03:23.099 wait oh my God I have to do it myself backseat's terrible not actually also 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:27.599 have rear climate control very nice popping into the driver's seat this 00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:30.959 thing is exceptionally comfortable I absolutely love it we have all of the 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:35.459 controls that you expect to have full stir adjustment even seat firmness 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:40.140 adjustment no massage sheets though so uh that's points off for that in this 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:43.500 price range oh wait I lied turns out there is a button over here that allows 00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:48.239 you to do massaging stuff isn't in the infotainment for some reason but 00:03:44.700 --> 00:03:50.280 whatever select seat then Ergo motion 00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:55.560 seat I think it's only for my ours the mode Cycles as follows pelvic stretching 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:57.480 lumbar stretching whole body oh that 00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:01.440 feels pretty good one thing that I'm not sure I'm convinced of this steering 00:03:59.340 --> 00:04:05.159 wheel looks kind of weird very functional though so that's a plus we 00:04:03.420 --> 00:04:09.060 don't have stupid capacitive buttons or anything like that good old roller for 00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:14.040 volume that's sort of the whole theme of this everything in here just makes sense 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 00:04:15.659 --> 00:04:20.820 takes me four to a week depending on the 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 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 00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:34.860 works and it's a dedicated button for it and everything in here feels fantastic 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 00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:43.139 Mercedes could shove into something whereas this right here is using Tech in 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:46.139 much more thoughtful ways where it actually like makes sense and you want 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:49.320 to use it also the buttons don't feel like garbage overall the quality of 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:52.620 materials in here is just exceptional the stuff that you want to be soft is 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 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 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:05.940 her a drive after a giver in this segue to our sponsor grammarly thanks to 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:09.919 grammarly for sponsoring this video when it

seconds this thing's pretty rapid although not in an insane 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 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:10.800 electric motors so you have the problem where like once you're above 100 00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:15.539 kilometers per hour or so it is sort of running out of gas and something much 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 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:23.039 already speeding then anyway so unless you're on the Autobahn who cares most of 00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:27.660 your time I imagine will be spent in Comfort mode and man it is comfortable 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:32.220 in here they have active noise cancellation from the speakers which 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 00:06:34.620 --> 00:06:44.160 decibel louder on the highway than a Mercedes S-Class Maybach hot damn now 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:46.740 the suspension isn't perfect in sport 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 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 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 00:06:58.259 --> 00:07:05.280 because there's so much weight in this thing but overall especially for an 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:07.560 electric car man this drives nice it's 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 00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:17.039 along it's pretty great what makes that comfortable go from A to B experience 00:07:14.520 --> 00:07:21.479 even better is the driving assists Lane centering this fantastic I'm just going 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 00:07:24.419 --> 00:07:32.160 cruise fantastic some of the best that I've ever experienced what makes this 00:07:29.039 --> 00:07:34.979 all even better and more relaxing is the 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:40.319 Lexicon sound system it is it's a bit complicated but in a word it 00:07:37.860 --> 00:07:44.940 is fantastic it's pretty clear this is a car made for old people and that 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:50.220 particularly shows with the sound system and how it's tuned the highs in this 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 00:07:54.060 --> 00:07:59.400 should be our sound engineer Sam took 00:07:57.060 --> 00:08:05.220 this and he found that plus three plus four in the base minus seven in the 00:08:02.220 --> 00:08:07.199 treble is what got us the most accurate 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 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:16.199 was a little bit concerned at first because like the tweeters aim down the 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 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:24.000 that is somewhere back there but somehow it becomes all coherent at lower volumes 00:08:21.960 --> 00:08:28.740 The Sound Stage is sort of down here but you turn it up a bit 00:08:26.180 --> 00:08:31.340 and it starts surrounding you it's fantastic 00:08:35.580 --> 00:08:42.839 it's not the best sound system that I've ever heard like S90 absolutely thrashes 00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:47.820 it eqs doesn't quite have the extension but much better Sound Stage but then 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:53.100 again apparently they only make the sound system for this car and the 00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:54.839 Rolls-Royce Phantom so yeah it's pretty 00:08:53.100 --> 00:09:00.060 freaking good now one thing you might have noticed is that the infotainment's 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 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:08.820 they have this little dial down here and it actually works really well so you 00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:12.480 have physical buttons for home menu and back and then this sort of even an 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:16.980 Android Auto Works quite well but in genesis's system here Works fantastic 00:09:15.060 --> 00:09:20.580 I've just been using this dial for everything instead of using the touch 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:24.660 screen and I actually have liked it way more than I expected 00:09:22.680 --> 00:09:28.700 okay we've got some Corners here how does a handle 00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:28.700 oh 00:09:30.540 --> 00:09:35.160 pretty freaking good given the size of 00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:40.019 this thing especially given that we're on winter tires here but it's not a 00:09:38.220 --> 00:09:44.880 sports car by any stretch of the imagination so you do have the problems 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:48.839 of like some understeer it kind of feels like it's leaning over the front left 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 00:09:51.420 --> 00:09:57.420 way that you know even if it isn't the most 00:09:55.080 --> 00:10:03.000 dynamic ever it makes me just want to chill out this is probably the car that 00:09:59.760 --> 00:10:04.980 I have been thrashing the least of all 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:10.260 the Press cars that I have like I've been respecting this thing because it 00:10:06.959 --> 00:10:12.360 wants me to do that and that's a pretty 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 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:22.080 paddles here to change how much regen you're getting and uh just leave it on 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 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:32.100 and also if you put it to like level one 00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:38.339 of regen it feels kind of weird level three level four pretty terrible you 00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:40.200 don't have proper like Auto hold or 00:10:38.339 --> 00:10:43.800 proper one pedal driving so it's sort of like is decelerating you and then right 00:10:41.880 --> 00:10:47.880 before you stop it starts accelerating it's weird I don't know just live with 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 00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:56.899 I was happy so whatever oh well 00:10:54.060 --> 00:11:02.640 traction control off corner these poor tires given the yacht-like 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 00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:12.120 wheel steering and the excellent 360 cam this thing's actually very simple to get 00:11:10.620 --> 00:11:16.560 into a tight spot can you come a bit closer to the rear of 00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:19.800 the car what uh we wanted you in front of the car 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 00:11:22.800 --> 00:11:28.920 this thing right here is a hundred and four thousand dollars Canadian which is 00:11:26.579 --> 00:11:34.440 pretty steep but when you compare it to the competition it is very good compared 00:11:31.920 --> 00:11:39.300 to the eqs this thing absolutely Slaughters it but then again like some 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 00:11:42.420 --> 00:11:49.380 points there Genesis but man this right here as far as a car to just comfortably 00:11:46.920 --> 00:11:54.600 get from point A to point B is absolutely fantastic this is where EVS 00:11:51.839 --> 00:11:58.320 really and truly shine just comfortable grand Tours to get you to work and back 00:11:57.300 --> 00:12:03.420 from work quietly and man 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:07.320 I really like this car if you're an 00:12:03.420 --> 00:12:08.700 older dad or a grandpa man look into 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:12.600 this thing if you've got the cash because it is freaking worth it in my 00:12:11.700 --> 00:12:20.720 opinion and you know what's also worth it hitting like getting subscribed and just 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.720 having a fantastic day see you later
