Reviews SummaryWhen people go shopping for a rear-drive, 4-passenger sports coupe, the Chevy Camaro, Dodge Challenger, and Ford Mustang are the primary contenders. Few people add the Hyundai Genesis Coupe to that list, either because they’ve dismissed it or they don’t realize it exists in the first place. That’s a mistake, because this car is a genuine blast to drive. | |
Reviews SummaryKorean conglomerate Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) understands that some people don’t want an SUV, or a cold, technical, German sports sedan. That’s why HMG’s Genesis brand still offers three sizes of luxury sedans, with the G80 serving as the midsize model. Available with a turbocharged four- or six-cylinder engine in several trim levels, the 2026 G80 reeks of old-school elegance in the very best way. Verdict: Quick, confident, and calming, the Genesis G80 is a refreshingly authentic luxury car that’s not trying to be something else. It lacks a badge that conveys success, but buyers can let the opulent styling and sumptuous interior do all the talking. | |
