Overall - great car and great design that could use a few tweaks...
I love my 2023 Genesis G80 Prestige. Receive compliments regularly from strangers on the sporty site wheel rims and the style of the car. Most see Genesis GV70 and 80's but not sedans. The car drives smoothly, is quiet, interior luxurious for passengers, and the car handles well. The car has power and handles great in the mountains and on highways. The Italian Pirelli tires did not last many miles on Denver metro roads but found Continental tires with the dealership that will have better wear without loss of performance, comfort, or increased noise. Some frustrating things in the design that could be easily fixed... sunglasses holder is awkward for standard lenses, the headset display is useless with sunglasses and could be a eyebrow mount on the dash instead for "heads" placement, the speedometer on the dash should be in the middle of the steering wheel and the RPMs too...can't see without moving the head around the wheel, the sunroof should be tinted to block hear and sun or a hard interior fabric should be used... gets excessively hot because it is thing fabric, the sunroof makes rattle sounds when going over large bumps or curbs, the radio controls don't allow for old push button selection to target a radio station... have to scroll to change channels, the car phone features to answer, hangup, and perform commands is awkward... can automatically dial the last phone number when clicking the off button again and it leaves the user on the call screen without going o the home screen, the app drains phone battery life when signed in, and the key fobs stink as designed with battery life only lasting months before setting off the car alarm. This all sound picky but would take the car to elite status. Sadly when driving a loaner 2025 G80, the full length screen experience looks cheap and generic like electric vehicles... not the luxury and sportiness expected for a sporty high-end sedan and I was informed the sporty waffle rims are going away in the 2026, which is the main compliment I receive in the car. Sometimes, less is more with design changes year-to-year.
