 What is up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you're new to the channel, I am Goldpony under new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the new 2022 Genesis GV80 courtesy of Genesis of York and York PA. For more information on their inventory, please refer to check out the link in the description box below. And so I'm in this one today because there's actually one major change for the 2022 GV80 and a couple smaller changes as well. In addition to that, you do get America's best warranty as well, being five years, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper, 10 years, 100,000 miles then on the powertrain. Also getting three years, 36,000 miles of complimentary maintenance as well. So you don't have to pay for things like the oil changes, tire rotations and things like that. And you also get the Genesis experience which gives you a whole heck of a lot of things including three years of complimentary serious XM radio. You also don't actually have to ever step foot into Genesis dealership if you didn't want to. You can actually buy the car, they'll come out to your house. When you get the car service, again if you're at home, if you're at work, they will find you, they'll take your vehicle, give you a loaner and then they will return with your vehicle. That's a pretty cool feature in itself, the Genesis experiences. So ultimately in this video, I will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering for a ride quality sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing itself. There are so many trim levels for this particular one. So I'm gonna actually just go ahead and put a screenshot on the screen there of all those different trims. Essentially pricing starts at $49,700. And then there is a brand new trim level for the 2022 GV80. And that is going to be the Prestige signature. That one goes for $75,200. But in case you're curious, we do have the 3.5 liter twin turbo charge advanced plus trim level with us here today, meaning we'll get the three rows. So we'll be going over that in a little bit. But having said that, there are two different engine options available for the GV80. First one being a 2.5 liter turbo charge in line four cylinder, putting out 300 horsepower at 5,800 RPM, 311 pound feet of torque, coming in at right around 1,600 RPM. Power for that one sent to the rear wheels are all wheels through an eight speed automatic with paddle shifters, zero to 60 time, coming in at approximately 6.4 seconds with MPG numbers coming in at 21 in the city, 25 on the highway. Regardless of whether or not you go with the rear wheel drive or the all wheel drive, so you might as well go with the all wheel drive for a little better traction there. But taking premium, unleaded fuel. And then there's the other engine configuration and the one we have today being a 3.5 liter twin turbo V6. This one cranks out 375 horsepower at 5,800 RPM, 391 pound feet of torque coming in at 1,300 RPM. Power sent to all four wheels only. This is only an all wheel drive configuration for this engine setup. Power sent to the ground through an eight speed automatic with paddle shifters, which you guys know we will test out here in a little bit, zero to 60 time, coming in at approximately six seconds flat. MPG numbers at 18 in the city, 23 on the highway, yet again taking premium, unleaded fuel. So before we do any kind of fun paddle shifter or acceleration test here in the GV80, don't want to mention the drive modes. So there's a little circular dial just behind the cup holders that is labeled drive mode. And essentially when you turn that, you get different drive modes like snow, eco, comfort, sport and custom, adjusting things like the shift points, the throttle response, steering sensitivity, the suspension settings, and the gauge cluster slightly as well. And not only that, just behind that drive mode button, there's actually a button that's labeled lock that is going to be your all wheel drive lock button. I've actually used that in my Hyundai Santa Fe, it's essentially the same concept. When it starts snowing out here in PA, go ahead and lock that in and it is going to just run through the snow like it's absolutely nothing. So it's a pretty good button to be aware of as well. But now, having got all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and put in the fun driving mode labeled sport. Let's find a straightaway and let's put the paddle shifters here to the test and let's see how quickly they are going to react for us here. All right, here we go. They're not bad. I gotta be honest, they're not bad. Usually with SUVs, they're bad. But with the GV80, they're really not all that bad. Usually you get some kind of a delay and the paddle shifters are essentially worthless in SUVs, but not with this. They're actually kind of fun. And the other benefit to having paddle shifters in an SUV is when it does start snowing out if you're then going down a hill rather than hitting the brakes and risk sliding off the road and actually do a little bit of engine braking. So then if you downshift using the paddle shifters, the engine is essentially going to slow the vehicle down as opposed to you hitting the brakes. So you're less likely to go ahead and slide right off the road. But now having done that, gotten that out of the way, we gotta say let's go ahead and get back full control here to the GV80. Let's yet again find another straightaway and let's see how quickly we can get our new 3.5 liter GV80 here up to speed. All right, pulling out onto the road. Here we go. That is definitely fun. Definitely not gonna have any issues emerging onto the highway. Zero to 60 in six seconds flat is plenty of an acceleration, especially for a three-row SUV like this particular GV80. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important. And so upfront, you will find 14.2 inch ventilated front disc for the 2.5 liter. It's actually bumped up to 14.9 inch ventilated front disc for the 3.5 liter. In the back, it's the same either way coming in a 14.2 inch solid rear disc. As far as that 60-zero stopping distance, as you can imagine, it's going to differ between those two different engine configurations because of the different brake sizes. For the 2.5 liter comes in at 117 feet, which is insanely respectable. And then for the 3.5 liter, it gets even better at 112 feet. So braking feel has been 100% on point. In my short test drive here today, definitely on the firmer side of things, I love the braking feel. So you're absolutely not going to have any issues when it comes to braking here in the GV80. But so then touching on suspension and handling, there will be an independent front and rear suspension coming standard front and rear stabilizer bars as well. There's also an electronic limited slip differential which essentially sends torque to the rear wheel with the most traction. So that's definitely going to be a good thing as well, not just for handling, but just for grip and acceleration overall. Electronically controlled adaptive suspension also coming standard on this one, which essentially uses a forward facing camera to kind of scan the road and adjust the damping accordingly, not only giving us smoother ride, but also tightening up the suspension during heavy cornering as well. Kind of giving you the best of both worlds there. And as far as ride quality goes, it has been perfectly fine here in my short test drive today. Without a doubt, definitely soaking up Pennsylvania's road imperfections. Very, very nicely here. As far as steering feel goes, it is going to differ substantially depending upon the drive mode that you put in it. I still have it in sport driving mode. So let me go ahead and put that back to comfort. And it immediately loosens up. But actually even in comfort driving mode, it's a little, it's normal. Like I like it. A lot of times with SUVs, it's loosey-goosey, but Genesis did a good job with the steering feel of the GV80. I'll say that. They're touching on cabin noise. I am driving right now, as you guys can clearly see. There's a whole lot of exterior wind noise coming into the cabin whatsoever. There's a little bit of ruffling of the floor mats in the cargo area, but that is about it. So definitely no issues there. And that's due in part because there is an active noise cancellation system, which measures interior sound waves, then creates an opposing sound wave to then help counter that noise. So that's kind of a cool little technologically advanced feature there that's touching on visibility. It is 100% on point. Now they don't have the third row up right now. So there's no third row headrest. I'm not sure how they would look, but for now it is perfectly fine. It's absolutely wonderful in our big old three row SUV here. Rain sensing windshield wipers do come standard on all trim levels. And there will be a head up display if you want to go with one of the prestige packages. And I actually do have that here. It's projecting my speed, speed limit and safety features up onto the windshield. So that's going to assist with visibility then as well. But that about rounds out the performance segment of this review, you guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2022 Genesis GV80. All right. So here she is, you guys. The new 2022 Genesis GV80 finished in Seville Silver in case anyone was curious of our exterior color name. And as far as what's new for the exterior for 2022, there's actually some matte colors added for the 2022 GV80, which the benefit is there's nothing like that really on the road. And typically they're found in luxury vehicles like the Genesis, like BMW or Mercedes. Other thing is you always have to hand wash it. So you can't take them through any kind of touch car washes, I guess you could say. But anyways, let's go ahead and start up front on the GV80 here. Large shield aluminum front grill to match the logo. I'll show you guys what I mean here. Let me actually get up a little bit closer. Guys see the Genesis logo there. It looks like a shield. Then when you zoom out, it's essentially mimic. That's more or less where they got the design of that front grill. And it definitely looks good in my opinion. To the bottom corners there, you do have front air curtains as well, helping direct air around the wheel and tire combination for a little better aerodynamics there. To the sides, a very cool headlight design. It is a quad beam LED headlight design. And of course it comes with the automatic feature, meaning when it starts to get dark at night, those headlights will turn on automatically there. Automatic high beams as well. So when you hit that, when a vehicle is coming in the opposite direction, it's going to dim it back to low beams automatically. And then when that vehicle is gone, it's going to then put it back up to high beams automatically yet again. So that's pretty convenient. LED daytime running lights also coming standard then as well. So overall, like I said, a very cool looking front end to the GV80 kind of looks like a Bentley, but you gotta love it. But anyways, that pretty much rounds out the front. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the side of the GV80. So I've been now making our way to the side. Silver roof rails do come standard. Chrome window surrounds also coming standard along with that. Rear privacy glass as expected also coming standard, but there are some chrome slats found on the front fender. Gotta love that. And they definitely imitate the quad beam headlights in design. And the coolest thing is part of that design is actually the integrated turn signal. So if I were to put on my left turn signal right now, or my right turn signal, I don't know which one I'm going to play for you guys, but there's LED light bars. And so that's where your turn signals are actually going to be located on the side of the vehicle as opposed to actually in the mirrors themselves. And speaking of body color, power adjustable side mirrors do come standard. They will be heated and power folding for all trim levels across the board. And to tie along with those chrome accents around the windows, you do have some chrome accenting, not only on the side skirts here as you guys can see, or the bottom portion of the vehicle I should say, but also on the doors then as well. But then take a look at the wheel configurations. 19 inch alloys are going to come standard, 20 inch alloys on the advanced packages like we have today and then 22 inch alloys for the prestige packages, all of them wrapped in Michelin all season tires. But that pretty much rounds out the side of this one. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back. It's up and now since we are around to the back here, body colored shark fin antenna all the way to the top, just below that rear spoiler, just below that rear window wiper, just below that you got Genesis lettering spelled out horizontally of course, LED quad tail lights then for all trim levels across the board. Again, matching perfectly with those front headlights, integrated dual exhaust outlets then just below with dual trapezoidal tips. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip. All right, so now since we are around to the back of the GV80, when it comes to opening that rear tailgate, it is a hands free power tailgate for every single trim level ever configuration across the board. So that is one way you can go ahead and open it. There's also a button on the key fob and there is a button by the driver's side lift knee then as well. It's up and then once opened up when it comes to cargo capacity behind that third row. And by the way, I'm going to reemphasize this. The third row is only available with the advanced plus package, which is the one we have today. So that's how we got that 11.6 cubic feet. If that was not enough space, of course the third row does fall down, bumping that up to 34.9 cubic feet behind that second row. And then with all rows folded, that is going to committed an even 84 cubic feet. So right around where the Honda pilot is, I guess. If you wanted to compare it to a non luxury SUV, Hyundai Palisade is going to give you a little bit more, but still plenty of space for an SUV, but there are cargo tie down acres located in that cargo area. There are grocery bag hooks. There is LED cargo lighting with some very cool looking LED lights for that cargo air, which I like. There's a 12 volt power outlet back there. There is a cargo cover and there's actually in-floor storage located back there as well, which I thought was pretty cool. But anyways, so go ahead and make our way up to the third row legroom that is going to come in at 30.3 inches. So for reference, I'm an even six feet tall. This is how much space I have back there. Rear ventilation also is going to come standard for that third row. It's not found on the ceiling, but rather kind of on the side. So I'm showing you guys those vents now that is going to be there for the third row passengers. Then making our way up to the second row legroom that comes in at 38.7 inches. Again, for reference, I'm an even six feet tall. This is how much space I have back there. Tri-Zone climate control coming with the Prestige trim levels. Rear window sunshades coming with every single trim level across the board. You gotta love that. Heated second row seats with the Prestige packages. Yet again, front seat back map pockets coming standard. Dual USB charge reports coming standard. I like that. But also 115 volt power outlet back there as well, which I was a pretty big fan of and kind of surprised to see. There is also, of course, a rear center armrest with cup holders. In addition to that, there's a little button if you press that button. It's also going to kind of give you a small tablet holder, just a little bit more storage, I guess you could say. So I like seeing that there too. You also get some wood trim on the side of the doors there. And of course that continues onto the front, but it's kind of a cool texturized finish to it too. So I do like that. And the Prestige signature trim, that new trim level for this year is going to add to that six way power adjustable second row with captain's chairs and a wing type headrest as well. But in addition to that, one touch second row relax mode and second row wireless charging. That's some crazy stuff that you don't see on any other view. I don't think I've ever seen a wireless phone charger for the second row to date. I don't think the Maybach that had just got done reviewing even had that. So that is wonderful. Well done, Genesis. I really liked that. But anyways, then make your way up to the front seats, leatherette seating coming standard, full leather seating coming essentially with all of the different package options, any one of them, 12 way power adjustable front seats for the base and advanced 16 way power driver seat for the Prestige smart posture seating coming with all trim levels. Essentially it takes your height and your body measurements to kind of create the best possible driving position for you. And you're probably going to adjust it after that, but it's a cool little feature there if you wanted it heated and ventilated front seats for all trim levels across the board. There is an Ergo motion seat for the Prestige packages, which essentially uses seven different air cells found within the seating to provide additional support via the side bolsters, for example. So I kind of like that. And you will get memory settings for up to two different drivers coming standard across the board as well. And overall seating was one of the first things I noticed is definitely extremely comfortable. The lumbar adjustments were great. So seating was very comfortable here in the GV80. Then make your way to the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. It is leather wrapped and the 10 and two grips are quite thick, which I personally appreciate. And it's actually heated for all trim levels across the board then as well. Then make your way to the startup. Let me first start by showing you guys the key here. Do have your Genesis logo on the one side. Then when you flip it over, lock, unlock that button to pop the rear hatch, the hold button with the circle. That's going to be a remote start coming standard for all trims. We also get smart park for all trims as well. That's going to be those P buttons with the vehicle icon. You can essentially pull your vehicle out of a parking spot if somebody parked too close to you without actually having to get inside of it and wrist slamming your door into that vehicle beside you. So I do like that feature as well. And in addition to that, there is a digital key coming standard for all trim levels across the board that comes in handy for whatever reason. If your key fob were to break or stop working, you always got the digital key which you can download it off on your phone and you don't ever have to even carry keys if you didn't want to. But anyways, in this case, I'm just going to put my phone to the break and press the engine start button, which has a cool little design to it yet again. So then what started up speedometer is all the way to your left. Tachometer is on your right. And by the way, that tachometer also serves as a digital portion to the gauges where you can really customize different things, including when you put that turn signal on that of course is going to show that blind spot view monitor, which I always think is pretty cool. You can check out your driving modes up there if you wanted to. And of course there's plenty of steering wheel mounted controls giving you all kinds of different things. You can check out up there. But then what I also mentioned though, although we don't have it today, there is a 3D digital gauge cluster that comes with the prestige packages. So that's out there too. And so then making our way to overall interior quality, there is a panoramic sunroof for all trim levels across the board, overhead sunglass holder, also coming standard LED interior lighting. All trims are going to get that as well. Homeland controls for all trim levels across the board, wood trim with a matte finish, like I was saying to you guys, all trims are going to get that, multicolor ambient lighting, all trims yet again, Genesis does a really good job with standard features. I'll say that the ambient lighting is 64 different colors, by the way. Dual zoom climate control coming standard and also with the advanced but tri-zone climate control coming with all the other trim packages, essentially. Designer foot pedals, essentially got some indentations, kind of an in diamond type pattern. So I kind of like that. And you do have texturized patterns throughout. I mentioned on the push button star, but also the circular dial to help control the infotainment screen. Also around the shifter itself, which is a cool little circular dial there too, but tons of texturized patterns and finishes, I should say, which I'm definitely a fan of. Do want to mention though, just in front of the cup holders, that's where your wireless phone charger's going to be located. You've got dual USB charge reports as well, if you wanted that. Surrounding the cup holders, you have yet another texturized finish and everything surrounded the center area is going to be in that matte wood finish, which I absolutely love. Then within the center armrest, you have a nice felt type of fabric in there and a decent amount of storage there. And in addition, actually, there's some added storage just below the circular shifter and cup holders then as well, which you don't always get in SUVs. So I did want to mention that. Overall, interior quality is flawless. It's absolutely amazing. I almost forgot to mention, frameless review mirror with homelink control show up to three different garage doors. There's contrast stitching throughout. Again, that matte wood finish everywhere. I like the singular air vent look just above the passenger side glove box, just below the infotainment screen as well. So interior quality is definitely very, very nice here in the GV80. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the infotainment screen because it is massive. You're actually going to get a 14.5 inch colored touch screen display coming standard for all trim levels across the board. And like I said, it is touch screen. It's also voice activated. And there is that circular dial I was mentioning to you guys as well. Bluetooth and audio streaming do come standard Android Auto Apple CarPlay as well. Factory navigation system coming for all trim levels across the board. By the way, you do get three years of free map updates. It's part of the Genesis experience as well. So if you didn't want to use Android Auto Apple CarPlay, maybe you live in the boonies. I don't know. You do have three years of free map updates. That's pretty cool. There's a voice memo system, essentially recording your voice. And then you can play it back at a later date if you perhaps did not want to forget about something. There's also a quiet mode. For example, if you have kids in the back and maybe they fall asleep on a road trip to Ocean City, Maryland or something. It essentially cancels out through your speakers and then limits the front speakers so they're less likely then to wake up and you can still listen to the radio up front then. So that's always pretty convenient. You can adjust your climate settings up there if you wanted to. And like I said, the ambient lighting as well, along with your radio information. So let me touch on the sound systems here now. The standard sound system is going to be 12 speakers, which quite honestly is very impressive in itself. Typically with three RO SUVs, you get six or eight speakers, usually eight speakers honestly, but 12 speakers is really impressive there. But any of the package options, you're actually going to get a 21 speaker lexicon sound system. That's a ton of speakers you guys. But anyways, having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next. Let's go ahead and turn on the radio so we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one. It's wonderful. Plenty of bass. I actually felt like there was a subwoofer underneath of the driver's seat. Maybe you guys can put it in the comments section if that's correct or not. Cause I could feel it rumbling through the seat. That was pretty cool. So there's a ton of bass. Clarity was great. It really sounded like you're almost at like a Mercy Me concert or something. So very, very nice sound system there for the GV80 without a doubt. But last thing I'm going to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen is when you do put the GV80 in reverse, you will find a very high definition rear view camera with the 360 degree monitor for either the advanced or prestige packages which kind of gives you that bird's eye view which is always is going to lead us into safety. So let me first start by saying IIHS top safety pick plus which by the way is the very highest designation given by IHS. So that pretty much does it all right there. 10 airbags including one between the two front seats. Other manufacturers are doing that right now. The reason that is done by Genesis is because if you get T-Bone perhaps they thought of this idea to kind of prevent the driver and passenger from bashing into each other. So I like that idea. That's definitely a cool safety feature there. In the back you're going to have latch AKA lower anchors and tether to children for the rear car seats, rear child door locks, tire pressure monitoring system but also coming standard for all configurations on the GV80 forward collision avoidance assist, lane keep assist, lane following assist of blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert, safe exit assist, driver attention warning system, adaptive cruise control, highway driving assist too which is Genesis's level two autonomous driving. So that's pretty cool. It's essentially like adaptive cruise control. We don't have to keep touching the steering wheel ever so often like I do in my Sonata but rear occupant alert then as well. And then if you were to go with the advanced or prestige packages, we'll also get a blind spot view monitor which I've shown you guys already, remote start parking assist and reverse automatic braking then as well. So overall when it comes to my final thoughts here at the GV80, incredible interior quality. Really this thing is finished with the best of them. Incredible value when consider the price point in addition to that America's best warranty for peace of mind and three years of complimentary maintenance and the Genesis experience you never actually have to go to a dealership. There's just so many perks to this thing. It's crazy. Excellent tech, a 14.5 inch infotainment screen and the availability for the 3D digital gauge cluster. That's wonderful. That's pretty much as good as it gets right now. Powerful engine options including the 3.5 liter twin turbo V6. You got to love it. The only constructive criticism and I said this in I think probably last year's review as well is the ride quality is great. It's still not quite as good as the competition. It's the adaptive damping suspension system that Genesis uses. It's pretty darn good but it's not quite as good as let's say BMW or Mercedes Benz and they're adaptive suspension system. So that's all I'm saying. It's definitely not bad. It's very, very good but not quite as good as some of the competition. That's all I'm saying. Anyways, that is about it for this one.
