“These cars are nice and comfortable. Attractive inside and out. Definitely check out the stereo and get the package you like. Stereo is the only downside I've found.”
2024 Genesis G80: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important change for the 2024 Genesis G80 is that AWD is standard across every gas-powered trim. This is otherwise a light update, not a redesign, with added driver-assistance and connectivity features plus a new V6 trim.
About the 2024 Genesis G80
3rd generation G80 (introduced for 2021), final U.S. model year before the 2025 refresh.
Genesis positions the G80 as its midsize executive sedan: elegant, quiet, and generously equipped, with more comfort and value than many German-brand rivals at the same price. The core appeal is a rich cabin, a smooth long-distance ride, strong safety content, and upscale design rather than hard-edged sport-sedan behavior. Even the Sport model leans toward confident, refined power more than track-style aggression, which fits the G80's luxury-first identity.
The 2.5T is the comfort-focused core of the lineup, with a 300-hp turbo four-cylinder, a 14.5-inch navigation touchscreen, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. The 375-hp 3.5T Sport adds a twin-turbo V6, sportier exterior details, leather seating, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof while retaining the G80's quiet, long-distance comfort.
What changed, by category
