Looks like the Genis G80 EV is ready for release,

I am hoping for a more powerful/sporty version of this.

Steering wheel bothers me, but I could probably get used to that. The rest of the interior looks quite nice. The front exterior, however, is absolutely awful. I can't believe anyone finds that attractive.

I guess looks are subjective, because I am a big fan of the new design language of the new Genesis lineup. They are very unique and stand out in a crowd. The proportions are better with the new G70 and the GV70, but the G80/90/GV80 have a presence in person.

After all as Rivian enthusiast, we like the goofy looking front end of the Rivians for how unique it is.

The steering is actually very comfortable, but they do have a Sport Steering in their Sport trims in the GV70 and the G70, which are lot better looking.

You can have a "presence" and still be ugly.

It's not for everyone, but I find the Rivian front end to be quirky and "happy".

The GV80 front end is just gaudy.

To each their own. I’m sure there are a bunch of people who hate the front end of the Rivian as well. I personally hate the interiors of the Tesla’s. Just too simplistic for me.

I’m a big fan of Genesis. I have been closely watching for the GV60 announcement. That one is based off their Mint concept car and sports the same platform as the Ioniq 5 and EV6. It’s either going to be the GV60 or the R1T for me.

Is the reviewer exceptionally tall or maybe had the seat raised as high as it would go? There seemed to be an apparent lack of headroom. The leading roof edge and visor seemed to be about level with his forehead.

As an 'adventure' vehicle I'm a bit concerned about wear to the painted surfaces on the front end. There's lots of bugs and rocks in 'adventure' places.

He said later in the video he's 6'2" & that both headroom & legroom are lacking in the back.

The eG80 is built on a platform meant for a ICE vehicle. There will be more room on the eGMP platform

Makes sense. Battery pack bulging into trunk & other details would be strange design decisions on a dedicated EV platform.

Yeah never been a fan of the sparse and relatively low quality (for me) interior of a Tesla.

Been a fan of Genesis since the first G70 and I like the new GV70. I know Genesis has an electrified version of the GV70 in the pipeline and I believe it will be based on the eGMP platform.
If this is true and they do release it in time for 2022, I will be very interested.

My wife impulsively purchased a Genesis when they first made an appearance here. It was an incredibly fun car to drive. She then impulsively traded it in for a Cadillac SUV because she wanted a higher seating position. That ended up being a horrible vehicle.

Ya Genesis to a Cadillac SUV sounds like a bad move. My mechanic loves his GMC/Chevy products. Keeps him in business
