Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review:Exterior design is polarizing; Some love the split headlight design, with almost individual pixel elements. Revisions have been made to split headlight design, and the side marker design is clever. The rear end of the car looks almost identical.
The interior has different color combos. Soft-close doors, subtle ambient lighting and well-maintained physical controls in key places. It feels high quality at the upper trim level.
The steering wheel controls have gone to a digital screen, but it is not tied into the infotainment. Volume knob feels high quality. HVAC controls have gone to a digital screen, but not tied into infotainment. The rotary knob is great.
The car maintains a physical D-pad rotary knob for the infotainment.
The reviewer worries about burn-in or ghosting on the massive screen.
Seating comfort is great. The seat has ergo motion, kind of like an anti-fatigue setting. Storage in front is average.
Underneath, many revisions have been made, and the car continues to be a favorite. It competes with the Five Series and the E-Class.
The reviewer states that they have allocated their budget and resources to improve it all smartly.
The G80 Sport Prestige package includes an ELSD limited slip, rear wheel steering, and adaptive steering in the front, making it feel more nimble.
The aluminum multi-link in front and aluminum sub-frame and the multi-link in the rear means a steel car that can be better isolated. This is done using hydraulic bushings, and filling caps in the body with foam and adhesives.
The G80 is the poor man's BMW, Mercedes, and Audi. Its drivetrains are not competing with the German cars.
The luxury and overall performance are a good combination. It competes well, but is always a chassis refinement away from being truly competitive.
Lease, it would be recommended as a good option.
