Road Test

The redesigned Genesis G80 midsized luxury sedan is a formidable player that holds its own against European competitors from the likes of Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. Beneath the elegant and sleek shape is an all-new structure shared with the midsized GV80 SUV. The G80 is not only quiet and refined, with a feature-packed cabin and a plush ride, but it also delivers sharp handling prowess. An unintuitive infotainment system and lagging fuel economy are among its only drawbacks.

Model History

2021-Present

Current Generation

The redesigned 2021 Genesis G80 is based on a new rear-drive platform, with the latest infotainment features, and innovative advanced safety features. It competes with the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5-Series. Beneath the sleek shape is an all-new structure shared with the GV80 SUV. The standard engine is a turbocharged 300-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder and the uplevel engine is 375-hp, 3.5-liter V6 turbo that provides effortless acceleration. All-wheel drive was optional until the 2024 model year when it became standard. Ride comfort is impressive and handling is responsive. Fit and finish is top notch. However, the infotainment system is very tricky to use. Standard safety features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and blind spot and rear cross traffic warning.

2017-2020

2017 Redesign Year

Part of the launch of Hyundai's upscale brand is the renaming of existing models. Previously known as the Hyundai Genesis, it is now called the G80. For about $10,000 less than competing midsized luxury sedans, the G80 delivers just about every feature and luxury attribute a buyer could imagine. Offered with a smooth and refined V6 or a potent V8, the G80 has responsive handling and a comfortable ride, though it can't quite match its German competitors. Our tested AWD V6 returned a competitive 20 mpg overall. Controls are refreshingly straightforward for a luxury car. Rear-seat passengers are pampered with amenities, including seat heaters, and space is plentiful. Most versions come with automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring.
