The "underrated" C-segment car! Purely imported, the beggar version has 304 horsepower + 8AT, electric suction door + rear drive, which is cheaper than A6L but cannot be sold.
BMW 5 series, Audi A6L, Mercedes-Benz E-class in the medium and large luxury car market can be described as the existence of "dominating the list", these three cars have their own highlights, and the 5 series and E-class have now completed the update, the new car's digital and luxury atmosphere is more outstanding, although ** is a little more expensive, but I believe that these two cars will be loved by more users, after all, the brand value is here. If you feel that the ** of these two new cars is relatively expensive at present, then there is an Audi A6L to choose from, which not only has a large adjustment, but also allows us to get a more comprehensive feedback with a lower budget. For example, 55 TFSI 3The current price of the 0T version has a high price-performance ratio, and it will be cheaper than some versions of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series.
In other words, in the current C-class luxury car field, for many users, there are not many models to choose from, and perhaps only the three products mentioned above. But these three cars have been able to meet the demands of many users.
If this is analyzed, then the vast majority of second-tier mid-to-large luxury sedans on the market perform poorly. In fact, in addition to Volvo S90, the performance of many models in the same field is particularly sluggish, and models such as Cadillac CT6 and Lexus ES do not have very good data, and have almost become "marginalized" products. In addition, there is a very unique model in this field, why is it unique? This is because the car has performed very well in overseas markets and is also a very popular model under the brand. But in China, there are not many users to choose. It's the Genesis G80.
To a certain extent, the Genesis G80 can be described as the brand's ace model, and it is also a major benchmark to promote the upward development of car companies.
After entering the country, the ** of Genesis G80 is not expensive, it is cheaper than many products of the same level, and the starting price of the 2023 model is 36380,000, although it is a little more expensive than the 2021 version, but there are different degrees of improvement in configuration and other parts, and after a comprehensive comparison, the cost performance has actually increased.
The Genesis G80, known as the Korean "Bentley", is not in a good position in the market at present, and it should be noted that the brand has a very serious loss in the domestic market, if it continues to develop like this, I think Genesis will soon withdraw from the domestic market.
So how far has this car become? Let's test today what kind of feedback we can get on the models that are sought after by most users.
Advanced power experience
The Genesis G80 is a luxury-leaning sedan, and judging from its setting mode, the layout of this car is particularly rich, and the balance between sportiness and luxury is just right. In other words, the Genesis G80 offers comfortable dynamic feedback with best-in-class sportiness and handling.
During the daily commute, the dynamic response of the Genesis G80 is very fast, the fit between the engine and the gearbox is very tacit, and in the case of low gears, the connection degree and operation effect of the whole set of power are very smooth and comfortable, so as to provide us with more stable and advanced dynamic feedback.
In Sport mode, the Genesis G80's dynamic feedback is more responsive, and the gearbox is constantly shifting, so we can feel the excellent performance and output as we gradually accelerate the speed.
0 100km h acceleration test
When we came to the professional venue, we turned off the ESP system and started at the same speed, and the moment we released the pedals, the vehicle would slip to a certain extent, but with the intervention of the auxiliary system and other layouts, the vehicle could quickly stabilize and we could get reassuring feedback.
In acceleration, the Genesis G80 is more dynamic than we expected, and it's just as good as most in its class in the overall C-segment luxury sedan segment. In addition, the Genesis G80 has excellent acceleration response in the middle and rear sections, and the suspension has a strong support effect and vibration damping ability, which in turn gives us a more stable body attitude.
Chassis feedback
The chassis layout of the Genesis G80 is particularly balanced, with the front and rear independent suspension settings being soft but with strong toughness, and we can feel the advanced filtering ability when driving on bumpy and undulating roads. At the same time, the Genesis G80 has strong NVH feedback, which in turn gives us a more comprehensive experience.
High-end luxury look
The appearance of the Genesis G80 is highly recognizable, and compared with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi models in the same class, the Genesis G80 is unique.
The large grille is complemented by split LED light clusters on both sides, plus the mesh layout and the lines of the hood outline, thus enhancing the temperament and luxurious atmosphere of the entire front end.
Coming to the side, the Genesis G80 has a decent size performance, with a length, width and height of 4995 1925 1465mm and a wheelbase of 3010mm. In addition, the entire side has a strong sense of streamlining, elegance and luxury, and together with the sporty details, it presents a variety of products.
The rear of the car is also very recognizable, and the LED taillights are lit up to make us feel the romantic design from Genesis. In addition, the lower exhaust pipe adopts a shield-shaped element, which echoes the front of the car.
Minimalist, retro interior layout
The Genesis G80 does not adopt a digital interior design, but continues the traditional layout with 14The 5-inch LCD screen, coupled with the feedback of the intelligent car machine, provides us with a good practical experience. In addition, the Genesis G80 is equipped with a large number of high-end fabrics and many luxury features, which provide us with a better driving experience. Not only that, but the quality of space in the Genesis G80 is also premium enough, even when competing with mid-to-large luxury sedans that are more than 5 meters long.
Write at the end
The brand influence of Genesis G80 is a little lower, but if we compare it from the car itself, the strength of this car is indeed outstanding, more than 300,000 **, it can bring us a particularly comprehensive experience, which is not possible with many products of the same level, and to some extent, the car is also a seriously underestimated luxury sedan.
