Once upon a time, Hyundai decided to build a luxury sedan that offered the appointments, refinements and a long list of equipment from higher-end automakers at a surprising price. That model would be the Genesis sedan. Fast forward to late 2015 when Hyundai announced the Genesis would be spun off into its own brand and the model boasting this name would be changed to G80. This and the flagship Hyundai G90 sedan would provide luxury buyers an alternative to the class leaders.
Almost two years after this change, how is the Hyundai Genesis G80 faring?
