About the 2025 Genesis G80
Second-generation Genesis-branded G80 (third generation counting the earlier Hyundai Genesis lineage), mid-cycle refresh year.
Genesis pitches the G80 as a sophisticated, driver-centered midsize luxury sedan with elegant styling, a quiet ride, and a richly finished cabin. Its appeal is not raw sport-sedan aggression; it is a comfort-first luxury car with distinctive Korean design, strong standard technology, and a polished interior experience. Against German rivals, the G80 stands out by pairing upscale materials and advanced features with a calmer, more relaxed personality.
The 2.5T is the straightforward luxury choice, with AWD, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a broad safety suite. The 2.5T Advanced emphasizes comfort with ventilated front seats and a panoramic sunroof, while the Sport Prestige trims add sharper styling and more performance-focused hardware. The 3.5T Sport Prestige sits at the top with a 375-hp twin-turbo V6, rear-wheel steering, Nappa leather, and a head-up display.
