“So comfortable, so fun to drive. Love all the features on the car-especially the soft closing doors. There are too many other features to list here. And you will never have to stop at a gas station again. YEAH!!”
2023 Genesis G80: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2023 is the U.S. arrival of the battery-electric Electrified G80. The gasoline G80 receives a light update rather than a redesign, led by a revised center-console infotainment controller.
About the 2023 Genesis G80
3rd generation G80 (U.S. 2021-2024), third model year before the 2025 refresh.
Genesis positions the G80 as a midsize luxury sedan built around elegant design, a quiet cabin, generous technology, and strong value for the class. It is less about sharp-edged sport-sedan behavior and more about smooth comfort, rich materials, and premium features for the money. In plain terms, the G80 is the brand’s upscale everyday sedan: stylish, comfortable, well-equipped, and aimed squarely at shoppers cross-shopping German luxury cars but wanting a softer, more value-focused alternative.
The 2.5T is the comfort-focused model, with a 300-hp turbo engine, a 14.5-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, and a broad set of driver-assistance features. The 3.5T Sport is the performance-focused version, pairing a 375-hp twin-turbo V6 and AWD with rear-wheel steering, an adjustable sport suspension, Nappa leather, and a head-up display.
