edmunds TESTED

If you're looking for a comfortable, well-appointed all-electric luxury car with lots of in-car tech and a full suite of driver aids, the 2023 Electrified G80 is well worth consideration. The handsome interior is spacious and more comfortable than the cabins of some far more expensive rivals, though the battery's placement limits trunk space and overall utility. That battery does provide plenty of power on the street and helped the G80 exceed its EPA estimates in Edmunds' real-world range testing. It's not the sportiest EV out there, but overall we like Genesis' comfortable electrified sedan.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Reese Counts

3/30/2023

The 2023 Genesis G80 is a midsize luxury sedan. With an attractive base price, lots of available features and an excellent warranty, the G80 is an impressive if not class-leading luxury car, and for 2023 it gets a significant update that few can match right now: an available all-electric powertrain. Dubbed the Electrified G80, this new electric car wasn't designed from the ground up to be an EV like its new sibling, the Genesis GV60. But it's still a compelling offering thanks to excellent real-world range and strong performance, in addition to the standard G80's already solid foundation.

The Electrified G80, like the GV60, is capable of some very quick charging times. Genesis says that when connected to a high-power 350-kW DC fast charger, you can charge the battery pack from 10% to 80% capacity in just 22 minutes (assuming optimal conditions). The Electrified G80 performed well in our real-world range testing, driving more than 300 miles on a full charge. We found it to be quiet and comfortable on the road, with plenty of power and an excellent array of tech.

While there has been a shift away from sedans toward SUVs, the G80 — both electric and not — has a sizable and tough group of competitors to deal with. Midsize luxury car stalwarts like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series are all starting to show a bit of age, though the trio remain strong (if more expensive) competition for the G80. Genesis also has the G70 and G90 sedans, which are smaller and larger, respectively, than the G80.

Finding competition for the Electrified G80 is a little more difficult. It's more expensive and larger than an EV like the Tesla Model 3 but isn't nearly as powerful or as pricey as the Tesla Model S, Mercedes-Benz EQS or Porsche Taycan. Range, both real-world and EPA, is very good for the Electrified G80 but not headline-worthy for an EV these days. The Electrified G80 has a comfortable and handsome interior, solid range and loads of standard tech. That's a good combination in our books. Check out our full rating for the Genesis G80 below.

Edmunds Expert Rating

by the Edmunds Experts

Good

8.0

out of 10

We drove the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8/10

How does the Electrified G80 drive? The Electrified G80 isn't a sport sedan, and doesn't claim to be, but that doesn't mean it's disappointing to drive. On the contrary, the dual-motor setup helps the Electrified G80 hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Some dual-motor rivals are quicker (the Tesla Model S, for instance) but you're not going to be left wanting. There's ample power here to get you up to speed quickly and with no fuss.

While handling and steering aren't as sporty as what you get with the Porsche Taycan, the Electrified G80 feels composed on the road. The soft suspension and all-season tires keep cornering speeds relatively low, but you don't have to worry about the car rolling or wallowing in turns. The steering feels heavy in Sport but lightens up in other drive modes and at low speeds, making the Electrified G80 pretty easy to park given its dimensions. Unfortunately, the steering doesn't provide much in the way of feedback or road feel.

The brake pedal can feel a bit soft, but if you enjoy one-pedal driving, you don't have to use it all that often, as the Electrified G80 will bring you to a complete stop. If you do need to use the brake pedal, we found the Electrified G80 performed consistently well in our testing.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the Electrified G80? Like its gas-powered twin, we found the Electrified G80 to offer a comfortable cabin. In fact, we think the electric version exceeds its twin in a few areas. The interior as a whole doesn't look all that different from the standard G80, and we consider that a good thing. The standard heated and ventilated front seats offer great support in all directions. There's plenty of adjustment for the driver's seat too. The cushions are soft but not overly so. The rear seat is also comfortable, with effective support and an agreeable seatback angle.

The ride quality isn't quite as stellar as the seats. While it's compliant and comfortable most of the time, we felt more bumps and road imperfections than we expected given the Electrified G80's adaptive suspension that can scan the road ahead and adjust for things like potholes.

The standard three-zone climate control system is one of the better systems you'll find in a luxury car these days. Genesis uses dedicated controls for the climate control system rather than forcing every adjustment through the touchscreen. We appreciate that you can adjust the vents manually, too, rather than having to take your eyes off the road to interact with the touchscreen. While we complained about road and wind noise in the gas-powered G80, the electric model was much quieter on the road, with only a mild amount of wind noise at highway speeds.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The Electrified G80's interior looks nearly identical to the gas-powered model's, and that's far from a bad thing in most respects. The G80 is spacious and the doors open wide, so getting in and out of either row is a nonissue for all but the tallest drivers. Space in both rows is excellent, too. The rear floor, though, sits higher than in the gas-powered model because of how the battery is mounted, meaning your knees sit a bit higher than you might expect. The driver's seat offers tons of adjustment, which makes finding a comfortable position pretty easy. That said, some editors felt like the seat didn't sit as low as they would prefer.

Outward visibility is sufficient but not outstanding. The front and side windows are fairly large, but the rear glass is narrow and the rear pillars are thick. We appreciate the G80's blind-spot cameras and surround-view monitor, which help offset the visibility issues.

All of the controls, from those mounted on the steering wheel to those in the touchscreen, are basically identical to the gas-powered model. That's both a good and bad thing. The buttons are easy to see and reach without feeling cluttered. On the other hand, the touchscreen menus can feel somewhat busy, and it's not as intuitive as some rival systems. The reach to the touchscreen is a bit far to use comfortably, so we appreciate that you can navigate using the console-mounted knob too. The steering wheel controls also aren't very clear, though we got used to them after a few days. There's a small learning curve but nothing insurmountable.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The Electrified G80 comes loaded with just about every in-car tech feature and driver aid Genesis has to offer. For the most part, it all works well. The navigation system is clear and easy to read, with less clutter on the map than you'll see in some of its rivals. You can input directions using the touchscreen, knob or voice commands, though we don't really recommend using the voice controls. While there were no major issues, we had some challenges with the car understanding our inputs. It's simply not as easy or robust a system as the voice controls in, say, a Mercedes-Benz. The driver aids, too, are expansive but not the most refined. The adaptive cruise maintains appropriate gaps but is slow to speed back up. And we felt a bit of ping-ponging between the lane markers on tigher highway curves.

Genesis includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard equipment, though neither one is wireless. That's odd as there are cars half the price of the Electrified G80 (including some from Genesis' corporate siblings from Hyundai and Kia) that offer wireless smartphone connections. Also odd is the lack of USB-C, though there are two USB-A ports for each row of seats, plus a wireless charging pad.

Storage

7/10

How’s the storage? Storage and cargo space is the Electrified G80's weakest area. Cargo space on the regular G80 was already limited relative to some of the competition, and the electrified powertrain only worsens things. The battery takes up a significant amount of space in the trunk, dropping overall cargo space to just 10.8 cubic feet. There's a big hump in the back that reduces the trunk depth, and the rear seats don't fold flat. And because this isn't a dedicated EV platform, it lacks the front trunk you'll find on plenty of other EVs. The available space is wide and tall, so you won't have any issues fitting grocery bags in the back. Just don't expect sufficient trunk space for luggage for more than a couple of people.

Storage inside the cabin is much, much better. In fact, we think it's among the best you'll find in any luxury car, electric or not. The center console is long and deep, and there's a second bin in front of the cupholders. There are decent door pockets, too, so you don't have to use the cupholders for your phone or sunglasses.

Installing a car seat is a mixed bag. While we like how wide the door opens, the car seat anchors are buried and not the easiest to access or clip to. You have to futz with the headrests to get to the upper anchors. There's plenty of space once the seat is installed, though.

Range and Efficiency

8/10

How economical is the Electrified G80? The Electrified G80 uses an 87.2-kWh battery pack and offers an EPA-estimated 282 miles of range. You can get EVs with more range for less money, but they won't be as spacious inside or as well appointed as the Electrified G80.

We managed to beat the EPA figure in Edmunds' real-world EV range testing, traveling 309 miles on a single charge. While this wasn't the best distance we've seen, we were still impressed with the G80's showing. We measured consumption at 30.6 kWh/100 miles, better than we've seen from cars like the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S.

Value

8.5/10

Is the Electrified G80 a good value? The Electrified G80 starts at a little over $80,000 and comes fully loaded from the get-go, with everything from heated seats to all-wheel drive included as standard equipment. $80,000 might sound steep compared to some smaller luxury EVs, but it undercuts cars like the Porsche Taycan, Mercedes-Benz EQS and Tesla Model S. Expect to pay well over six figures if you want one of those models to match the G80 when it comes to an equivalent level of luxury features.

As with all Genesis cars, the Electrified G80 carries an excellent five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain and battery warranty. Genesis also throws in five years of roadside assistance, three years/36,000 miles of maintenance, and two years of free 30-minute charging at Electrify America stations.

Wildcard

8/10

For better or worse, the Electrified G80 looks basically identical to the gas-powered G80. It's a handsome design both inside and out. It looks premium without copying what you might see from other luxury automakers. But the fact that there's no real visual distinction between the electric and gas G80s might disappoint some. There's a lot to like with the Electrified G80, and we wish Genesis had done more to make it stand out in its lineup.

It's also not quite as fun to drive as some other electric cars. It's quick, and the car's copious low-end torque means you never lack power, but the G80 feels a bit soft and heavy when driven enthusiastically around corners. We wouldn't call it sloppy, but there are better options if you want something sporty with an electric drivetrain.

2023 Genesis Electrified G80 trim level differences

The 2023 Genesis G80 is available in four variants: 2.5T RWD, 2.5T AWD, 3.5T Sport and Electrified. The 2.5T models use a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (300 horsepower, 311 lb-ft) paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The 3.5T Sport uses a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 (375 hp, 391 lb-ft) and comes standard with all-wheel drive. The Electrified G80 swaps that entire powertrain out for an 87.2-kWh battery pack and an electric motor mounted at each axle (365 hp, 516 lb-ft), giving the all-electric G80 all-wheel drive. Compare the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80 trim levels in-depth.

Which Electrified G80 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Electrified G80 only comes in a single well-equipped trim level. Beyond your choice of paint and interior color, there are no options or packages. What you see is what you get, and the Electrified G80 is a looker in the right color.
