Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review of an electric car, focusing on the key findings, and adhering to the instructions:The car receives a refresh for the 2025 model year, including styling changes to the exterior such as a larger grill, tweaked headlights, and a revised front bumper. The side profile retains the same 20-inch wheels from the previous sport model. The taillights are slightly tweaked, and there's a new rear bumper. The new concrete-gray color isn't a favorite.
The interior has been dramatically changed, especially the dashboard, with a new 27-inch OLED screen that serves as both the gauge cluster and infotainment system. The new dashboard looks great, especially in red, accented with metal and stitching. Seating is still comfortable with new diamond quilting and massage functionality that activates automatically after an hour of driving. The new steering wheel has a flat bottom. There are metal controls, but the touch-sensitive capacitive controls are considered inaccurate.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now included, a significant improvement. The climate controls have been redesigned and retain physical knobs. Space under the center console has been closed off, and a wireless charging pad has been added behind the armrest. The new B&O stereo sounds great.
Performance-wise, there have been no changes. The transmission sometimes exhibits a delay from a complete stop, and it has rear-wheel steering. It has adaptative dampers that make for a ride that is comfortable.
Fuel economy is rated at 16 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. Expect V8-like fuel economy in city driving. As tested, the car costs $78,250. Due to rising prices, the value gap with competitors has narrowed. Competitors, like the BMW, have faster transmission. There is little value compared to the Audi. With the same power level as the BMW with similar features, prices have now increased for the Genesis. The car's adaptive dampers use cameras to monitor the road and prime the suspension for bumps, ensuring a smooth ride. But if you select to put it into 'sport plus mode, and that means your seat will tighten and secure.
