From Genesis to Genissy, Hyundai has once again brought luxury car brands to the Chinese market, and the way of testing the water in the first place and post-joint venture domestic production is the same as that of modern brands in the past. Among the first batch of Jenisses to be launched in the Chinese market, this C-class flagship model priced at 453,800 yuan - the 2021 Genissy G80 2.5T four-wheel drive flagship version is a model that can explain its luxury, and today our protagonist is it.
Exterior design
In terms of front design, in the planning of brand personality, The GenisesYS G80 is doing a better job. The opening of the shield grille is very large, its interlaced mesh with the rhythm of the metal curve changes, visually more dynamic, and the through-type lower stomata also has a homogeneous substrate. The flying wing logo looks very advanced, it brings out two fronts for the slender hood, with the overall bulge of the A-pillar extension, the front of the car is mainly flagship, but also a little dynamic.
In terms of headlight design, the split headlights are highly recognizable, and the visual effect is very colorful after the pair of long strips of light are lit, although it is technically only adapted to adaptive near and far lights, but the functionality and visual personality are remarkable.
In terms of side design, the length, width and height of the GenisesYS G80 are 4995/1925/1465mm, and its wheelbase is stretched to 3010mm, don't look at it as a flagship, it also uses more chrome material decoration, and even has a retro semi-closed wheel design, but the large tilt angle of the A-pillar and the obvious slip on the C-pillar with independent side skirts will still be compatible with some sportiness.
In the rear design, a metal deflector appears near the tail box cover, which will be integrated with the shield metal mark and the rear camera, and the size of the tail box cover is roughly equivalent to the size of the rear bumper, and under the turn signal and bar light, it corresponds to the shield exhaust pipe corresponding to the grille, using a bilateral design of two.
In the taillight design, the pair of split taillights echoes with the headlights, and its internal contour, reversing and fog lights are more clearly distinguished, and the lighting effect and illumination distance are commendable.
Interior design
In terms of cabin design, brown leather with stitching covers the center control upper bezel, inner door panel and handrail box, and the through-type air outlet is embellished with solid wood decorative strips and metal banners, and the cabin tone and material of the Genisesis G80 are quite rich.

In addition, the machine has 18 speakers of Lescon audio support.
In terms of functional configuration, in addition to the front front, front side, head and knee of the front row, the 10 airbags of the whole car are also specially added to improve the passive safety in unexpected situations. Assisted driving reaches L2 level and can complete full-speed adaptive cruise, while the auxiliary image also includes panoramic views and blind spots on the side. The whole car is matched with electric suction door and induction electric tailgate, and the leather steering wheel and seat are adapted to electric adjustment, which realizes the heating/ventilation of the seats of the whole car, and cooperates with the independent air conditioning of the partition, and the quality of the cabin is guaranteed.
In terms of ride space, the Genissy G80 can create 1 punch and 3 fingers of head space for 177cm experiencers in the front and rear rows, but the leg margin of the 2 fists in the back seat is not as large as expected. However, the perforated leather seats of the whole car, assisted by multi-layered acoustic glass and rear manual shading accessories, do provide excellent comfort feedback.
In terms of storage space, after the tail compartment cover is opened, the trunk can see a more obvious sinking, through horizontal and vertical coordination, it can still be put into the 20-inch, 24-inch, 28-inch single universal wheel trolley box at the same time, and the balance on both sides can also be added to some soft accompanying equipment.
Mechanical structure

On the chassis suspension, the GeniseyS G80 uses a double wishbone independent suspension on the front axle, and a multi-link independent suspension on the rear axle, which will have a variable damping system that can adapt to changes in road conditions through the softness and hardness of the suspension.
Write at the end

At the same time, the maturity of many aspects such as seating, safety, and multimedia makes it not look like a new player, and whether this kind of heavy punch can change the impression of Korean luxury in the minds of Chinese consumers may take some time to test.
