Quick Drive: 2017 Genesis G80 3.8 HTRAC

[William Maley]

Over two years ago, I spent some time in then redesigned Hyundai Genesis. Unlike most of the test vehicles that come with everything minus the kitchen sink, the Genesis 3.8 I had was a base model with no options. It would prove to be “a damn fine automobile” as it offered many of items and driving experience you would expect in a luxury vehicle, minus the price tag. Since then, Hyundai has spun off Genesis into its own brand and the vehicle wearing this name has gotten a new one, G80. When it was dropped off for a week’s long evaluation, I had to do a double take since it looked exactly the same as the model I drove back in late 2014. It was only when I looked around and saw changes to the interior and the HTRAC badge on the trunk lid did I realize the wool wasn’t being pulled over my eyes.

• The name might be the only significant change anyone will be able to point out with the G80, as the rest of it is still much the same as the 2015 Genesis. The only real changes between the two are new a grille insert featuring a radar module and HID headlights.
• At least the interior is slightly different. Some new trim materials such as matte wood and higher quality leather upholstery help make the G80 become a special place to sit in. That higher quality leather is only available when you order the Ultimate package.
• One other item the Ultimate package brings is a larger 9.2-inch HD touchscreen with a revamped infotainment system. A handsome, yet simple interface provides one of most user-friendly systems we have ever come across. It doesn’t hurt there are multiple ways of controlling the system such as using the touchscreen, a control knob in the center console, or the redundant buttons on the center stack. A big downside to this system is there is no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto compatibility. If you really want that, you’ll need to skip the Ultimate package and stick with the smaller 8-inch screen. I’m hoping this gets addressed with the 2018 model.
• Also, would it kill anyone at Genesis to add more USB ports?! There is only one in the entire vehicle which will cause arguments to happen on long trips.
• Otherwise, a lot of the traits that I liked in the previous Genesis remain in the G80 such as supportive front seats, roomy back seat, and high build quality.
• Power in my tester comes from a 3.8L V6 engine delivering 311 horsepower and 293 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic routes power to either the rear-wheels or in my case, an optional HTRAC all-wheel drive system. A 5.0L V8 offering up 420 horsepower is available as an option.
• Despite what the numbers say, the 3.8 doesn’t feel quick. A curb weight of 4,453 lbs for our test vehicle robs a fair amount of the V6’s performance.
• On the upside, the V6 is very refined with low levels of NVH. The engine also never feels like that it is running out of breath under acceleration.
• Fuel economy is disappointing with EPA figures of 16 City/25 Highway/19 Combined for the V6 HTRAC model. I saw an average of 20.4 mpg for the week.
• Genesis didn’t mess with the G80’s suspension tuning which is a very good thing. It still excels at smoothing over bumps and road imperfections. One improvement I would make is adding a little bit noise isolation. There was a fair amount of road noise that came into the cabin.
• If you’re looking for something exciting to drive in the class, I would say skip the G80. The soft suspension tuning leads to a fair amount of body roll when entering a corner a bit too enthusiastically.
• The price has crept up since the Genesis became the G80. Compared to the 2015 model I drove with a base price of $38,000, the 2017 G80 starts at $41,400. Add HTRAC and price creeps up to $43,900. Our test G80 3.8 HTRAC with the Premium and Ultimate packages came to an as-tested price of $53,800. Before you have a heart attack on the price, this is quite the value when you take into consideration what you get and the impressive build quality. But I think the best flavor of the G80 is with the Premium package. Skip the HTRAC AWD and you’ll end with a well-equipped luxury model for just a hair over $46,000.
• While Genesis is still trying to find its place in the luxury class market, the G80 shows that the brand is going in the right direction. Start with a good base and make some slight improvements to it. Yes, the G80 needs to lose some weight to help with the performance of the V6 and fuel economy. But if there anything I have learned with Hyundai and Kia, they are fast learners and make the necessary improvements. I wouldn’t be shocked if Genesis goes the same way.

Sounds like a really good car at a great value.  Why can't Buick or Lincoln do this?

[G. David Felt]

Old warmed over auto. PASS

The style is dated and dead on arrival. Dash reminds me of something out of the 80's. Overall nothing I would want Buick or Lincoln to emulate.

GM already has the CTS for midsize RWD luxury. The only thing wrong with that car is the poor execution of CUE. From an engineering standpoint, Cadillac crushes anything Hyundai has to offer. Buick has a very profitable niche of FWD-based luxury. If value and comfort top your priorities list, then you can get a fully loaded Lacrosse with a torque vectoring AWD system in the low $40k range.

Lincoln... has a laundry list of issues and I'm not going to beat a dead horse. Everyone already agrees the brand needs to go RWD.

[riviera74]

No need for AWD for me.  I will take RWD over FWD any day of the week for my next car.  As for CUE, what needs to be fixed to make CUE actually good if not great?

Buick and Lincoln do not need to emulate this 1980's warm over nor do they need to follow the whole RWD thing. FWD and AWD works and has not stopped plenty of people from buying Audi.

CUE is good, but can be even better with more responsive touch system and a current nav equal to google or a couple other industry leaders.

For the most part, CUE works just fine except when you get to non-GM drivers that seem to think CUE should be just like the germans or asians and cannot seem to figure out how to use it.

Kinda like Apple or Windows. two different interfaces and part of the group is always confused.

That is not able to be confirmed. Marketing and sales are a fickle thing and without thousands being interviewed and documented that they have refused to buy Lincoln because of being FWD one has a hard time saying that this has stopped people.

More likely the poorly built auto's, cheap material and fit/finish played a bigger part in people not buying Lincoln.

Poorly built because they are Fords in disguise.  If they went with their own chassis, own engine, own materials then they would sell more cars.  The market knows they are Fords, thus they look elsewhere.  if they were rear drive they could charge more thus make them not so cheap and sell more.  They could put more horsepower in and sell more, etc.

Disagree with your premise. CUE in the CTS doesn't need a more responsive touch system, it needs more intuitive physical controls. The redesigned layout in the CT6 and XT5 is a step in the right direction, but I heard the mouse pad thing is terrible in execution. Firmware updates might be able to sort that out.

What bothers me most is Cadillac saw the negative feedback Ford received for capacitive touch systems and doubled down anyway, introducing the original CUE center stack unchanged across the lineup over the course of 3 years. That's just flat out stupid.

And yet myself and @Cmicasa the Great who have put our money where our mouth is do not seem to have the problems so many of you state CUE has. So is this just repeating what other magazines are stating due to a lack of familiarity with the system or what?

Touch interfaces are one of the top consumer complaints in the auto industry. It's a case of you seeing a problem through rose-colored glasses. Cadillac sales don't line up with the impressive quality, performance, and engineering behind them, and CUE almost certainly factors into that.

For me personally, I really wanted to give the ATS a chance, but it was priced out of contention. I got my Chevy SS for the price Cadillac wants for a mid-level ATS 2.0T with less equipment. Having MyLink with buttons and knobs is certainly a bonus. I'd say that I, too, put my money where my mouth is.

I can understand that and respect it. For me, I got my Escalade ESV Platinum edition as it did not seem that much more than a fully loaded Yukon XL Denali edition plus I liked the style and the few features better than the Yukon. 

With that said, I can also agree with you on the SS over the ATS. I would take one too if I could not afford a CTS-V edition.

I'm not a fan of capacitive touch controls in any car brand.  You can't operate them with gloves on.

I really like this car.

There are many of these around in my neck of the woods.

I havent noticed if they are Hyundai badged or Genesis badged because my level of enthusiasm for them does not go further than "nice car", but I too, feel Genesis is heading in the right direction both in looks, features, fit and finish and marketing.

[riviera74]

The Genesis is heading in the right direction.  If I were Lexus/Cadillac/MB/BMW, I would be very concerned that Genesis is essentially undercutting them.  Just like Lexus undercut the MB S-Class with the original LS400 in 1990.

[Sal Collaziano]

There's really nothing wrong with the G80 or G90. They're both nice sedans that can be had for a great price...

People like to bitch about anything that is CHANGE. My father still has a freakin flip phone because of this.. it has buttons. As to consumer complaints.. Fuck em.. I'm all for progress. If turning a knob influences your decision that I would tell them to go for the inferior car. The interface is easy as pie to use. 

Cadillac sales.. CADILLAC sales have to do with lack of product (CUVs and variants) not the CUE system that even the magazines are now calling "quite good." Initially it had some hiccups in performance.. that is not the case anymore. My V's CUE is just as easy to operate as my MyLink in all the other cars. 

@Drew Dowdell   like Olds said.. take the gloves off. Anyone with a Cadillac that has CUE should have opted for.. (or is it standard??? I don't kno because it always comes with my cars) HEATED STEERING WHEEL.

They are Hyundais.. and that still says a lot.. about nothing... other than copying other's designs, gobbling them together and acting as if it were original. In Hyubdais defense.. I do kno that they head-hunted Audi designers, but still... that's a BS excuse. Wish they would go out of business.

Wow- why is that center right HVA/C vent upside down?? Friday build date?

 

Wait- I see; it's the same vent as on the left, but inverted. I've never seen such an in-your-face cut corner.

About the glove argument....

I was shopping for new gloves this past winter and I noticed that there are big, thick warm gloves good for -40 (Farhenheit or Celsius...same temperature actually) that are touch screen friendly....technology advances in gloves too!

So...wearing gloves should not be a problem in 2017 for these touch screens...

 

Let it be known though that I dont like screens of any kind in my cars!

I think its gimmicky!

But, since phones and computers and home improvement electronics are this way anywhere from thermostats to alarm system keypads to lighting, to all in one giant touch screen central basepad that uses the smartphone to connect your house and yourself anywhere on the planet to even control your audio equipment and your connected freakin' esspresso machine ....the auto industry just as well follow suit.

HOME AUTOMATION IS INSANE!!!

Like I said, cars just as well join in on the fun!

@oldshurst442 I can respect your dislike of the screens in an auto.

I on the other hand love them, I love the customization of what info you want and the various ways to present said info. I love having HUD. Once you drive an auto with HUD and custom screens, touch or not, it is very hard to go back to old style traditional manual gauges.

If you have not test drove an auto like the corvette or any of the cadillac systems with HUD, I encourage you to do so, go through and choose one of the default screens to see the various differences including their old school analog gauge cluster look and still have HUD and I bet you will come to really like it. Pretty freakin cool.

Course as a computer engineer, I love old to learn from, but preferre newer the better.  Move forward is always good with tech.  

[oldshurst442]

@dfelt

I dont have a use for touch screens in my cars...

Radio....it stays on 1 channel....AM sports talk radio.

USB key for music...knobs and buttons to fiddle around with volume and to switch to the next song is good enough for  me....

Speedometer....would you believe me that I dont use it?

I know approx. what speed Im rolling at through sheer experience...

Plus...again....through experience, I can feel what the car is doing when I actually drive it and toss it around a corner and stuff....pilots call that flying by the seat of your pants!

So....an analog  tach and speedometer (they could be digital on a screen or HUB) and a USB friendly radio with actual knobs is where its at for me.

OK...all that could be on a modern infotainment system and I WONT complain...alls Im saying is I PREFER old school gauges because I get a pleasure from actual driving....(its ironic that I HATE manual transmissions) but I get visual pleasure of observing the landscape and EΧΤΕRNAL surroundings rather than infotainment centers! 

As far as flying by the seat of  my pants goes....they ONLY stimulant I DONT like IS shifting my own gears! The rest of of it I LOVE....I LOVE FEELING WHAT THE  CAR IS DOING AT ALL TIMES!!! And THAT does NOT require LCD screens OR gauges of ANY KIND (to a degree of course....) ESPECIALLY WHEN IM NOT SHIFTING MY OWN GEARS...but then again....a GOOD MANUAL DRIVER DOES NOT NEED THE TACH TO KNOW WHEN TO SHIFT HIS OWN MACHINE!!!  HE SHOULD KNOW WHEN BY THE SOUND AND FEEL OF HIS MOTOR!!!

Progress would imply touch capacitive systems are better than analog controls. At best, they can only be equal, but more often than not, they're a distraction and a gimmick.

I can tell you right now MyLink is easier than CUE based solely on the fact that I was using HVAC and radio controls without looking down by the time I finished driving my SS home. Knob for volume, knob for fan speed, knob for temp, all where you expect them. CUE is essentially a similar screen interface but with a touch panel using raised bars to guide your hand. That is objectively more difficult to use. Not subjectively like personal opinion, objectively provable.

Your sales argument kinda evaporates when you realize the sedans are lagging significantly behind the germans, worse now than pre-CUE models. Again, CUE isn't the only cause, probably not even the primary cause, but it's a contributor nonetheless. And I am a HUGE fan of Cadillac, I'd probably own an ATS if they were priced about $5k lower. I just won't give them excuses because they don't need them anymore.

I have an HUD. I can confirm it's the greatest feature I never even knew I needed! They ought to be in every car. It genuinely feels strange to look down at the gauge cluster for speed now.

And there U go.. if U are gonna bitch about the screen.. Bitch about he gloves too.. and do what Olds is saying.. and upgrade your mitts. Question../ why are we wearing gloves in cars with modern heating systems that can be remote started up to 10 minutes before U even get into the car?

Valid question!

I have NEVER worn gloves while driving.

3 feet of snow on my car after a blizzard and 3 feet on the ground:

I wear gloves and boots and hat armed with a shovel and broom and dig myself to freedom. Once inside the car...gloves and hat come off.

 

-40 Fahrenheit plus the windchill factor and I wear gloves and boots(optional, depending if there is snow on the ground) and hat to get inside the car...Once inside the car...only the gloves come off. I keep the hat...Im bald, I need to keep the hat.....my hairless head needs to keep warm somehow. (When I had hair....no hat was worn, ever, in this situation)

I start the car WITHOUT the gloves...pray she starts in the first place and as soon as she goes vroom, I turn the heat and fan on to max and the dials go to window defrost...I leave to get back into the house...I wait 15 minutes for her to get nice and toasty...I get into the car WITHOUT gloves and hat and I drive off!

What if I just prefer we wear gloves in the winter? My Buick has a heated steering wheel and I can still wear gloves and use the HVAC controls. 

Touch screen is fine when you want to have some uncommonly used setting, but heat up or down should be easy to reach and use.

I was just kidding around with everything trying to get laugh at louds out of people.

The part of how I drive is real, the part where it seems Im grilling you is just for shytes and giggles.

As a software engineer, I do enjoy geeking out over gadgets and technology.

My Jeep is my first car w/ a touch screen, push button start, etc. and so far I'm enjoying it... between the touch screen and the usual radio controls on the back of the steering wheel (very similar to my old Jeep), and the dash HVAC controls I find it all very easy to use. 

As for home automation, I've been investing in it on my new house...it's nice to be 2000 miles away and control the alarm system, check the inside and outside cameras, and adjust the thermostat from my phone.   Next additions will probably some automated lighting and maybe blinds.  Not sure if I'm ready for electronic locks yet, though.

Agree, I have played with the finger print electronic door locks. But since we have seen so much high tech intrusion by hackers, I am wary of having cameras in my house, around it or electronic door locks that a smarter person than me or the gov could hack and get into.

This.. HUGE. Why is that not discussed in these conversation about CUE. Even better why are Cell phones and Teslas not a hot topic in these conversations ??? I'll tell U why.. because if a muthafucka can find something nothing to bitch about.. they will pick on CUE

Seriously.. if CUE is such a problem with gloves on  then how are U using your touchscreen cell.. or Tesla's big IPAD dash? Look. I used my CUE.. cell.. all while doing 90+ up the road. No issues.. no accidents.. no shit
