I drove the Genesis last week and absolutely loved it.

All week I had people chatting to me about how beautiful the design is. They seem to get the balance just right.

Inside the GV80 Coupe is all luxury and comfort. Let’s start with the seats. They are sumptuous and embrace the occupants like a lounge chair.

The flat bottom steering wheel surrounds the digital dash. To the left is a wide central screen that has excellent clarity.

There are flashes of real carbon fibre mixed with quilted Nappa Leather enhance the interior ambience.

Rear seats have a recline function as well as a fold flat ability. They also have two isofix and top tether points for baby seats.

Leg room is restricted and I’m not really a fan of the digital screens on the rear of the front seats.

The boot is generous but slightly limited by the coupe roof line.

Performance comes from a 3.5 litre V6 petrol engine that has reasonable acceleration but can get thirsty if pushed hard.

Ride is smooth and handling has a rear wheel bias with all wheel drive capability.

Pricing for the Genesis GV80 Coupe is from a little over $135,000 dollars plus the usual costs.

The Hyundai Sonata N-Line is one such vehicle.

It is stylish and packed with a heap of comfort, safety, and luxury features. Its priced well at $55,500 plus the usual costs.

Powered by a 2.5L turbo petrol engine with healthy performance, it provides a relaxed and engaging driver experience. There is a choice of drive modes available, and the engine is responsive and economical.

I like the little luxury touches like

• heated and ventilated front seats,
• huge central touch screen,
• wireless smart phone connectivity and charging,
• auto high beam headlights and
• powered open and close boot.
• Dipping exterior mirrors when in reverse and
• the stalk mounted transmission with paddle shift

Overall, I really enjoyed the time in the Sonata, it was relaxed and easy to live with.  It’s the type of car that you can sit in for hundreds of kilometres and arrive feeling relaxed and enjoy the drive.

Yes- There is a lot to like about the Sonata.

The CX-90 is big. To gain a perspective of its size its some 19 cm longer in wheelbase than the CX-9.  That’s a lot.

The new Mazda comes in three grades and with a choice of inline 6 cylinder 3.3L mild hybrid petrol or diesel engines. Pricing is from $74,400 through to a hefty $94,500 dollars plus the usual costs.

We drove the mid spec GT model with the petrol engine.

It is stylish, has presence and spacious inside.

The overall ambience is definitely premium with luxury touches everywhere. Seats are supportive and comfortable; drivers positioning is particularly good and there is room for the family behind.

The six-cylinder petrol engine provides plenty of performance and the dynamic handling is what you would expect of a premium SUV. However, the ride is a little harsh on country roads. This is a little disappointing given how good the CX-9 is.

It will be interesting to see if buyers will favour the big Mazda against the likes of a Genesis or Audi.
