Video Summary
Here is the requested summary:- Hyundai and Genesis tend to overuse the word "sport" for trim levels, often without adding much real substance.
- The reviewed G80 Sport is a significantly better car than previous Genesis models.
- The interior has a unique brand character, making it feel worth the money.
- The sport trim includes a more traditional steering wheel, alloy paddles, and an uncommon carbon fiber accent that enhances the cabin's specialness.
- There is a blend of physical and touch controls, avoiding too much reliance on the infotainment screen.
- The front suspension has all-aluminum links and a multi-link design with a virtual lower ball joint.
- The rear end is also mostly aluminum.
- There are front and rear aluminum subframes, which aren't common in other luxury cars at this price point.
- In the sport variant, the electronic dampers have been retuned and it has new drive mode, Sport+.
- Rear wheel steering is available for this trim.
- The Sport+ mode adds too much "synthetic" sharpness, which is not good, and there are steering ratio issues.
- Overall the ride does not feel the most well-connected or dialed-in at its limits.
