Hey guys,
I recently had the pleasure of getting an up-close and personal sneak peek of the all-new 2021 Genesis G80 3.5T AWD.
This was my first time experiencing a Genesis vehicle, and I have to admit that I was pretty impressed with the luxury mid-size sedan.
Keep reading to check out what my first impressions were after a 36 hours sneak peek.
If you know me, you know that I love anything powerful and fast. This third generation nameplate is both and so much MORE.
The luxury sedans sophistication and elegant design definitely makes it drool-worthy. It comes equipped with ALL of the latest technology, including the Remote Smart Parking Assist feature, a huge 14.5-inch touchscreen, and the killer 21-speaker Lexicon stereo system. Yall, I had Prince on repeat the entire time. 🙂
Additionally, the retro feel of the cabin and ambience caught my attention immediately. It reminded me of the vintage luxury vehicles my granddad used to own when I was a young girl.

Another stellar write-up! 🤩
Ever since I first saw this next gen G80 in pictures, I knew it would be a hit. I have yet to see it in person, but your pictures make it look spectacular.
That interior looks incredible too. Definitely retro-inspired, but in a very tasteful manner! Also, I have gotten the pleasure to test out the previous generation a couple years ago, but this next gen seems so much more luxurious. After all, the previous gen was originally designed to be a Hyundai… While this is the first G80 designed from the ground up to be 100% a Genesis! And boy oh boy does it show!!!
Seriously can’t wait to see one of these glorious rides in person. Well done with the write-up! You seemed like you have a blast during your 36 hours. 👍🏼
