TCC’s Bottom Line

Plush, safe, and well-equipped, the 2018 Genesis G80 remains a pure luxury sedan, even as rivals get increasingly sporty.

The 2018 Kia K900 is a premium, luxury sedan without much of an identity.

TCC Likes

Handsome, both inside and out
Warranty, maintenance, valet service
Almost all safety equipment standard

Relative value compared to some
Big back seat
Whisper-quiet ride

TCC Dislikes

Ponderous handling
Twin-turbo V-6, V-8 not very efficient
Limited cargo space

…but may put some to sleep
Poor fuel economy
Lacking some safety tech
