Joe Parker — Tue, 16 May 2023 00:05:19 GMT

It was only a few years ago that if you wanted a zero-emissions midsize or large luxury sedan, the only real option was the Tesla Model S. But just in the past few years, a whole new host of automakers are breaking into the segment, including the world’s leading luxury automakers and some newcomers to the fray. The Porsche Taycan made its debut in 2020, and the Audi E-Tron and range-leading Lucid Air hit the market for the 2022 model year. For 2023, the BMW i7, Mercedes-Benz EQE, and Genesis Electrified G80 have also joined the list of options for buyers.

Why The Genesis Electrified G80 Will Take The World By Storm

Alina Moore — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 21:00:16 GMT

The Korean maker Genesis is relatively new to this all-electric game, but it surely does an amazing job even with the few models it has. Its first dedicated EV was the GV60 SUV, but it also has electrified versions of the G80 and the GV70. Unlike the GV60, these two models do not ride on their own dedicated platform, but are built on the same platforms as the 2022 Genesis G80 and the GV70. This, however, doesn't make them less impressive electric vehicles, but on the contrary, they are both serious threats on their segment of the market. The electric 2023 Hyundai Genesis G80 is new to the market, and very few people pay attention to it, but the electric luxury sedan is loaded with features that will make it a serious competitor on the market. And, while the range may not be as impressive as it is for Tesla, its relatively smaller price and better equipped interior could make you change you mind when it comes about buying the best electric vehicle.

The Genesis’ G80 sedan is one of our favorites when it comes to recommending or even considering a flagship mid-size sedan.

The Genesis brand has come a long way in a short while, and the G80 embodies that perfectly.

Now that the mid-size luxury sedan has made a full circle, Genesis wants to make the G80 a bit more exciting. The next evolution of the Genesis G80 will be the Sport version, which brings a few exciting features.

Genesis decided it’s high time to spill the beans on the third-generation G80. The sleek sedan is here to do battle with the Germans, more precisely the Audi A7 and the Mercedes-Benz CLS, but design-wise, we expected a tad more.

Genesis sort of took the wraps off the new G80 midsize luxury sedan with a set of design renderings that look pretty much production-ready from where we are sitting. The new G80 marks the third generation of the car that’s supposed to steal customers from the likes of Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Two years after introducing the Genesis G80, a revised and upgraded version of the luxury sedan has been caught testing in Germany.

Genesis will unveil the G80 in 2019, with a market launch scheduled around the last part of the same year.

Genesis To Get Its Own U.S. Dealership Network

Kirby Garlitos — Sat, 03 Feb 2018 11:00:00 GMT

Genesis is looking to separate itself from parent company Hyundai by establishing its own dealership network in the U.S. The move is seen as a way for Genesis to create its own luxury identity, something that it could struggle doing if it remains in the shadow of Hyundai. The Korean luxury brand is putting together a multi-year business roadmap that will create as many as 100 retailers all over the country, covering all of the company’s important luxury markets. In the meantime, the new network will conduct its business in temporary stores or shared facilities.

Almost 30 years ago, Lexus was where Genesis is today. Toyota was trying to make inroads in the American luxury market with an all-new brand, and there was no shortage of critics doubting its likelihood of success. But they kept making great car after great car, turning the industry on its ear.

The G80 Proves Genesis Is Off to Good Start

Mark McNabb — Wed, 09 Aug 2017 16:00:00 GMT

In the beginning, Hyundai created Genesis, a premium label under which the South Korean automaker could sell luxury vehicles without the stigma of its value-driven name historically associated with duds like the Excel and a low-cost-before-all value proposition. Hyundai saw that value was good. Yet, instead of resting solely on those merits, the Genesis division is elevated to loftier goals – goals of uncompromised luxury and performance, while undercutting nemesis brands with less-costly price tags.

Genesis Rolled Out The Goods For The MVPs Of The Pro Bowl

Kirby Garlitos — Mon, 30 Jan 2017 15:00:00 GMT

The countdown to Super Bowl LI is filled to the brim with events spread throughout what is now referred to as “Super Bowl Week.” One of the highlight events of this week is the Pro Bowl, which the AFC just won over the NFC, 20 to 17. Two players in particular, the Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce and the Buffalo Bills’ Lorenzo Alexander, stood out from their peers, earning themselves the offensive and defensive MVP awards, respectively. But Kelce and Alexander didn’t just win trophies for their efforts; they’re also each taking home a Genesis G80 sedan.

2017 Genesis G80 Sport

Robert Moore — Mon, 05 Dec 2016 13:00:00 GMT

Considering the Genesis brand is a new entity, the Genesis G80 is technically a brand new car in the market. First on sale for the 2017 model year, the car has come off as a big hit, effectively fusing together power, luxury, and safety into one very sexy package. But, there were two problems with the G80. The first problem is that it was nowhere near as stylish or aggressive as the Genesis New York Concept, and the second problem is that there was no middle model – leaving consumers to choose between the 311-horsepower V-6 and the 420-horsepower V-8 models. For the 2018 model year, both of those problems have been addressed as Genesis has decided to refresh the G80 and introduce a new trim level called known as the 3.3T Sport. This refreshing has brought new, better-looking fascias to the front and rear, the availability of rear-wheel or all-wheel drive across the entire range, new safety features, and a new standard 18-inch wheel design. On top of that, the new 3.3t Sport offers up a cool 365 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque – just the right amount to position it between the G80 3.8 and the G80 5.0.

The Genesis G80 represents Hyundai’s first model under the new Genesis luxury sub-brand and, like most new models that have proven to be successful in their initial run, it’s adding a new member to its family. That’s exactly what we’re seeing here with the introduction of the G80 3.8T Sport, a performance-oriented version of the G80 3.8T sedan that features plenty of cosmetic and performance upgrades.
