Genesis G80
The Genesis G80, previously known as the Hyundai Genesis,
delivers just about every feature and luxury attribute a buyer
could imagine for about $10,000 less than its competitors. Offered
with a smooth and refined 3.8-liter V6 or a potent V8, the G80 also
has responsive handling and a comfortable ride, though some sus-
pension noise at low speeds hurts that impression. Our tested AWD
V6 returned a competitive 20 mpg overall. The controls are refresh-
ingly straightforward except for the gear selector. Android Auto and
Apple CarPlay compatibility is handy. Rear-seat passengers are pam-
pered with amenities, including seat heaters, and space is plentiful.
Standard advanced safety features include forward collision warning
with automatic emergency braking, and blind spot warning. A Sport
version with a turbocharged, 3.3-liter V6 is also available.Overall Score 84

Better than average 04Genesis G70
The all-new Genesis G70 sport sedan has a standard 252-hp, four-
cylinder turbo engine that is energetic, but its acceleration time is
among the slowest in the class. We got 23 mpg in our AWD version,
which isn’t particularly good. The uplevel 365-hp V6 turbo is quieter
and makes the car much quicker. The G70 has agile handling and a
taut, controlled ride. However, its braking distances were long on
both wet and dry pavement. The car is quiet, and the interior is well-
put-together. Access is a bit tough because of the low stance, and the
cabin is very cramped, particularly the tight backseat. An easy-to-use
infotainment system screen dominates the center of the dashboard
and is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Forward
collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot warn-
ing, and lane keeping assist are standard.
