A review of the 2022 Genesis G80: what are its pros and cons

For several years now, used cars from Korea have been attracting the attention of buyers in Ukraine. This heightened interest stems from the excellent condition of the vehicles, which require no additional repairs upon arrival. Today, the Korean car market features such reputable brands as the Hyundai Elantra, Kia Sportage, SsangYong Korando, and many others. Each of these models has its own advantages, so before making a choice, you should review the model’s specifications and weigh its positive qualities.

A Brief History of the Model’s Origins

The brand was first registered in 2015, but its initial sedan models failed to resonate with buyers. However, by the 2020s, the manufacturer had found its footing. It launched crossovers onto the market and also improved the sedans it had previously produced. One of the most memorable electric vehicles is the 2022 Genesis G80, the production version of which was first unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show.

The sedan’s stylish exterior and comfortable interior

The exterior of this electric vehicle differs from its diesel and gasoline counterparts in its grille—which features the bold yet stylish G-Matrix geometric pattern—as well as its differently styled bumpers and the absence of exhaust pipes. The narrow Two-Lines taillights lend the body a particularly sleek look. The charging port cover is located on the front bumper, but its discreet placement ensures it remains unobtrusive. The wheels have been designed in a turbine shape, which improves the model’s aerodynamics.

A comfortable ride is ensured by an upgraded noise-cancellation system, which includes 6 microphones and 4 vibration sensors. The seat upholstery is made of genuine leather dyed with natural pigments. The cabin also features elements made from recycled wood, giving the interior an elegant and eco-friendly look.

Among the modern electronic features included in the model are:

voice control, which allows the driver to adjust the air conditioning settings as well as the windows and sunroof;
a 12-inch head-up display for the navigation system;
a built-in controller that simplifies the use of the infotainment system.

Heated front and rear seats, and the driver’s seat comes with a memory function. The digital key allows you to lock and unlock the doors, start the engine, and activate the alarm from up to 10 meters away from the car.

What’s Under the Hood of the Genesis G80

This electric vehicle is powered by an 800-volt system and can be charged at terminals with a DC power rating of up to 350 kW. This model also features a battery pack with a capacity of 87.2 kWh, which allows the car to be charged from 10% to 80% in just 22 minutes. If necessary, the onboard transformer can be connected to 400-volt charging stations.

There is one electric motor on each side of the axle, making the sedan all-wheel drive. Each motor has a power output of 185 k.s., for a total of 370 horsepower; however, only the rear motor operates continuously, while the front motor engages only when needed. Adaptive suspension dampers adjust stiffness based on data from the front-facing camera.

Yes, it is possible. For example, OTP Bank is ready to provide a loan for the purchase of a car even to clients without official employment - an amount of up to UAH 300,000 can be approved without a certificate of income. The bank considers alternative sources of income and the borrower's credit history. In other cases, if you have an official salary card (especially in PrivatBank), you often do not need to confirm your income - the bank already sees the receipt. In any case, Bex Auto will help you collect the optimal package of documents or get by with a minimum number of them.

As a rule, the decision is made very quickly. Our partners have made the process as efficient as possible: PrivatBank pre-approves the loan a few minutes after submitting the application - you will find out the result almost instantly. OTP Bank in most cases issues the final decision and transfers the money within one day. In general, buying a car on credit through Bex Auto usually takes 1-2 days, including choosing a car, submitting an application and signing the contract.

The conditions vary depending on the bank and the program. OTP Bank does not have a CASCO requirement at all - you save on insurance, the bank does not oblige to insure the collateral, since the loan is actually unsecured. At PrivatBank, CASCO is required as standard for new cars, but with a down payment of 20-30%, insurance is not a mandatory condition (although the bank itself advises to insure the car voluntarily). Oschadbank always requires full CASCO, since it lends new cars with collateral. Thus, the presence of mandatory CASCO depends on the selected program: if you want to avoid insurance costs, consider options with a high down payment or a loan from OTP Bank.

Yes, you can repay your car loan early at any time without any penalties. All Bex Auto partner banks – OTP, Privat and Oschad – do not charge fees for early repayment. If you have the opportunity to repay the remaining loan early (partially or in full), do so without hesitation: the overpayment will be transferred only for the actual term of use of the borrowed funds. No penalties or hidden conditions – you save on interest by repaying the debt early.

Yes, of course. Bex Auto helps you buy a used car on credit as successfully as a new one. In particular, our partner OTP Bank specializes in used car loans - there are no restrictions on the brand, year of manufacture or mileage of the car. Moreover, no collateral or CASCO is required for such transactions, which distinguishes OTP's offer from classic car loans. You can choose a car at a car lot, a car dealership or even from a private seller - the bank will give you money to buy it. We also accompany the execution of the purchase and sale transaction and registration of the car in your name. If you want to import a car from abroad, we will offer a special program for a grace period (the first months without interest) - this allows you to calmly wait for your car and not pay extra.

Yes, indeed, official dealers have a wide range of Korean cars on the Ukrainian market, but they differ from Korean ones. For example, in Korea, the trim levels are very "rich". For the price that you will buy the maximum trim level from the official dealers, in Korea it will be the basic one. And the fact that in the Korean top trim level it is impossible to even imagine... Engine modifications, for example, Hyundai Tucson in Ukraine is offered only with a 2.0 l petrol engine, or a 1.6 l hybrid, where in Korea you can choose: 1.6 turbo petrol, 2.0 diesel, 1.6 hybrid. Also in Korea, there are many cars that have factory LPG, which is very economical to operate.
