A few months back, I was dazzled by its SUV cousin, the Genesis GV80.
Now batting, the G80 sedan, which also manages to dial up the opulence.
This one is called the Genesis G80 AWD 3.5T Sport Prestige, which is good because it’s fairly sporty and very prestigious.
It’s meant to go up against the likes of the BMW 5-series and the Mercedes-Benz E-class, and it definitely holds its own, and then some.
Like the GV80 SUV, the interior features blingy carbon fiber and an incredibly wide LED display stretching from the front of the driver to the middle of the car.
Unlike the SUV I drove, this particular sedan features what borders on a neon red leather interior to go with microfiber suede accents elsewhere.
Front seats are heated and ventilated and rear seats are heated too.
And god forbid if your arm gets cold, even the front center armrest is also heated!
Like the SUV and other premium Hyundai products, this one verbally warns you about upcoming traffic cameras. When you hit the turn signal, a camera helpfully shows video of your blind spot on the dash display.
If you prefer cars to SUVs, you can even save some money.
This one comes in at $78,280 after shipping — a roughly $10,000 discount versus the SUV I drove.
