The second-generation Genesis G80 is to its predecessor the way Pulp Fiction is to Reservoir Dogs: the follow-up smash hit to the groundbreaking first attempt. Interior design and materials are on-point, and the driving experience is thoroughly improved. This is a luxury sedan that bypasses the American and Japanese competition to truly go toe-to-toe with the German leaders in this class. However, a few missteps don't quite meet the standards set by top-tier rivals.

Overview

It is officially time to stop wondering if Hyundai and its Genesis luxury brand can build world-class vehicles. The answer is yes, and the 2022 Genesis G80 is but one example of the proof. Korean designers, engineers, assemblers and marketers can take on the best luxury marques on the planet. Full stop.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 Genesis G80 2.5T 4dr Sedan w/Prod. End 02/22 (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.92 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Redesigned last year, the G80 midsize luxury sedan was the first Genesis built from the ground up to reflect the company's distinctive new design language, inside and out. The result is a car that oozes class and sophistication and contains the engineering and technological foundation to make it more than just a styling exercise. From its turbocharged four-cylinder and V6 engines and rear- and all-wheel-drive layouts to its sumptuous interior materials and generous ownership perks, the 2022 Genesis G80 demands consideration.

With that said, the leaders in the midsize luxury sedan remain compelling alternatives. Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have been perfecting this recipe for decades, while the Genesis brand didn't exist seven years ago. So, while the company has come a long way in a short time, it still has a few details to hone. Be sure to see our full Expert Rating for more in-depth info about the 2022 G80.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.0/10

How does the G80 drive? The redesigned G80 is a solid performer all around. The turbocharged V6, which is what we tested, has plenty of power whether you're hoofing it from a stop or need a squeeze of power on the highway. At our test track, our V6-equipped G80 test vehicle accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds. That's a bit slower than six-cylinder German rivals but right on point with the Cadillac CT5 V-Series. Other highlights include smooth and quick transmission shifts and an unobtrusive engine stop-start system.

The G80 3.5T comes standard with an adaptive suspension. (It's otherwise optional on the 2.5T.) Put the car in its Sport mode and the suspension firms up and does a good job of reducing body roll when you drive around turns.

Comfort

8.0/10

How comfortable is the G80? The G80 is sport sedan adjacent, so it should be exceedingly comfortable, right? Yes. Mostly. The plush seats are wonderfully supportive and wide without making you feel like you're being swallowed by them. Other highlights include nicely sculpted rear outboard seats and quick heating for the seats and steering wheel.

Now for the "mostly" part. We expected more from the G80's trick road-scanning adaptive suspension. Overall tuning is on the soft side when you put the car in Normal mode. Pleasingly, there's no residual bounciness after traveling over bigger bumps. However, the ride can get overly brittle over cracked pavement. There's also some noticeable road noise, though wind and engine noise is sufficiently muted.

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? An agreeable ride height and narrow door sills make it easy to get in and out of the G80. The driver literally has the best seat in the house, with additional adjustments (including massage) that aren't available on the front passenger seat. The view outward, though not bunker-like, is hampered slightly by thick front and rear pillars and a tall decklid. Certain features included on our tester — including surround-view and blind-spot cameras — definitely help.

Once inside, tall folks might notice their hair brushing against the headliner in either row. Sub-6-footers should have no problem, however, and you can always slouch a little and take advantage of the prodigious amount of legroom.

The dashboard layout and design are attractive, with a pleasing selection of physical buttons for controls that you might use frequently. The touchpad/wheel infotainment controller presents an initial learning curve. Some of our drivers found it became second nature after some practice, but others never warmed up to it. The display is a short but ultra-wide touchscreen. Touching the right side of it from the driver's seat can be a stretch.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? The 21-speaker Lexicon audio system is mind-blowing. Throw on some hip-hop or electronica, and you'll feel the bass in your bones. Even at higher volumes, the speakers did not distort or get muddy. We've experienced inferior systems in Bentleys. The navigation system offers multiple input methods for easy destination search, and the maps display is bright and free of clutter. Using the touchpad/wheel can be distracting, and the voice recognition system returns hits as often as misses. Audi's MMI and Mercedes' MBUX are much better.

The driver aids are fine. The adaptive cruise control works well but the lane-centering feature will sometimes ping-pong the vehicle to either side of the lane. That's not terribly unusual at this stage of automated technology development, but rivals are a little bit smarter. A larger dip in surface pavement caused the collision mitigation braking feature to trigger and momentarily pump the brakes. This is totally unacceptable on any vehicle.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? At 13.1 cubic feet, the G80's trunk is larger than the CT5's, the same as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class' but a bit smaller than the BMW 5 Series'. It is quite deep, however, and there are pockets with nets behind each of the wheelwells. Interior storage space is more impressive, with numerous large bins and trays sprinkled throughout the cabin.

Got kids? It can be initially difficult to install a child safety seat because the lower car seat anchors are not as easily accessible as those in other luxury sedans. But once you've got that done, the large rear doors and expansive rear legroom make it easy to get infants in and out.

Fuel Economy

7.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The V6-powered, all-wheel-drive G80 is rated at 20 mpg combined (17 city/26 highway). These numbers aren't stellar for the class, especially since the big three Germans all use mild hybrid powertrains that boost fuel economy. That said, we achieved 24.1 mpg on our mixed-driving 115-mile evaluation route, illustrating that the EPA's numbers should be easy to achieve in real-world driving. The G80 is also more efficient than rivals without whizbang technology. A similarly configured Cadillac CT5 has identical EPA estimates, yet we observed 21 mpg on our evaluation route.

Value

8.0/10

Is the G80 a good value? Value has always been a Genesis strong suit, and the G80 starts off thousands of dollars less than its German competition. However, our fully loaded test G80 cost more than $69,000, which is only slightly less expensive than similarly equipped top-tier rivals. Conclusion: The G80's best value is lower on the trim ladder.

Interior materials are a pleasant mix of leather, faux leather, open-pore wood and aluminum. The overall effect is simply stunning, especially when you compare this G80 against its predecessor. That said, our tester exhibited a popping noise after hitting a bump or turning the wheel full lock at low speeds, which really marred the luxury experience.

Genesis' warranty coverage can't be beat: five years/60,000 miles bumper-to-bumper and 10 years/100,000 miles for the powertrain. Three years/unlimited miles for roadside assistance is a little stingy, but three years of complimentary maintenance is among the segment's best.

Wildcard

8.5/10

The G80 is supremely comfortable in most situations, whether you're stuck in traffic, puttering around town, or cruising on the highway. It's a little slower and less fun to toss around than Germany's best, but the G80 gives you 95% of what you'd expect from a midsize luxury sedan.

Genesis' new shield-like grille is an acquired taste, but you have to admit the G80 doesn't blend into the ether of parking lots anymore. The new cabin design is also hugely impressive compared to the previous model. While the first-generation G80 did a great job differentiating itself from its Hyundai roots, the second-gen model allows Genesis to forge its own distinct identity.

Which G80 does Edmunds recommend?

Though the new-for-2022 3.5T Sport sure is compelling, the best blend of style, luxury, technology and value is found in the G80 2.5T AWD equipped with the Prestige package.

A turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 (375 hp, 391 lb-ft) is standard in the G80 3.5T, which uses the same eight-speed automatic and comes with standard all-wheel drive.

2022 Genesis G80 2.5T 4dr Sedan AWD w/Prod. End 02/22 (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Compared a ton before buying. Perfect amount of room for my 6’ 3 frame. I measured noise and ride quality of 7 cars. This was third best behind G90 and BMW 7. Haven’t had a stiff or sore back since driving this for 3 weeks. I’m surpassing mpg estimates (29.5) in the 2100 mi so far. The 4 cyl feels like a V6. Only complaint is no ergo motion seat for passenger.

Excellent comfort ride

Mike L., 08/31/2021

2021 Genesis G80 3.5T 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

Had a test drive and fall in love with this car. Comfort oriented suspension with great handling, accurate shifting 8 speed transmission, with strong V6 engine with more than enough low end torque. My highway average gas mileage has been about 27-28 mpg on summer blend gas. It is a must test drive car for those who want a reliable luxury smooth riding sedan.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Genesis G80, so we've included reviews for other years of the G80 since its last redesign.

Genesis G80 vs. Audi A6

Crisp, clean and tailored, the Audi A6 has a technical, almost cold appearance inside and out. The Genesis G80 is no less sophisticated when it comes to infotainment and driver assist systems, but it offers a warmer vibe with art deco overtones wrapped in softer, almost sensual sheetmetal. The Genesis is also less expensive and more powerful in standard form, though it doesn't have the Audi's standard all-wheel drive. The G80's warranty and ownership perks are superior to the Audi's too.

Genesis G80 vs. BMW 5 Series

Though it's not as analog as in the past, the BMW 5 Series remains a driver's car and is more enjoyable in this regard than the Genesis G80. The current-generation Fiver isn't as distinctive as those that came before it, though, and its all-too-familiar BMW styling cues look bland in comparison to the upscale Genesis. But BMW does offer a plug-in hybrid option, something missing from the G80 lineup. We spent a year driving the current-gen 5 Series, so be sure to read our long-term test of a 2018 BMW 540i.

Genesis G80 vs. Mercedes-Benz E-Class

When you finally make it to the C-suite, you could be tempted to get a new Mercedes-Benz E-Class. We wouldn't blame you, and this high-tech, high-quality midsize luxury car is our favorite in the segment. But in some metropolitan areas, the E-Class is almost ubiquitous. The Genesis G80 is an antidote to such conformity, though its digital instrumentation, infotainment system and advanced safety tech are not quite as impressive as what you'll find in the Benz.

2022 Genesis G80 First Impressions

byCameron Rogers

•12/7/2021

The 2022 Genesis G80 sedan isn't the most important vehicle in the automaker's lineup — kudos would likely go to its SUV offerings, consisting of the GV70 compact and GV80 midsize crossovers. The G80 is, however, a critical component in telling the story of Genesis, a relative newcomer in the luxury space. After all, it was the G80's forebear, the Hyundai Genesis, that proved there was a market for high-end Korean automobiles in the first place. Even though sales weren't exactly lighting the world on fire, the G80 received a full redesign last year, and 2022 sees a reshuffling of the trim structure. Here's what the Genesis G80 lineup looks like for 2022, and how the revisions make the car come alive from behind the wheel.

What's different about the 2022 Genesis G80?

If you're opting for a G80 with the standard engine, not much. The turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder makes the same 300 horsepower as last year, and you can still choose from the base model, or opt for the Advanced or Prestige package.

The differences really come to light once you decide on the much more potent turbocharged V6 with 375 hp. You see, for 2022, all G80s with this 3.5-liter six-cylinder bear the Sport moniker, and the upgrades are far more extensive than a new badge. The front bumper gains a pair of stylish fins to break up the lower airdam design, and the rear is slightly restyled, too. The bright exterior chrome work is changed to dark chrome for a stealthier appearance. Inside, a traditional three-spoke steering wheel replaces the sad clown frown wheel on the four-cylinder G80. The waterfall-like stitching of the current leather upholstery is replaced with a chevron pattern, and the wood veneers are jettisoned in favor of aluminum (Sport) or carbon-fiber (Sport Prestige) trim.

But the G80 Sport isn't just an appearance package — it adds numerous performance enhancements not present on last year's G80 3.5T. Among these are launch control and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential. Opt for the range-topping Sport Prestige package, and you'll add rear-wheel steering and a Sport+ driving mode, which includes looser reins on the sedan's stability control system. Also on the docket is unique tuning for the adaptive suspension, which utilizes a road-scanning camera that readies the dampers for upcoming ruts and bumps. The Sport Prestige is available with a modestly priced package that adds summer tires and active noise reduction.

How does the Genesis G80 Sport drive?

We drove a G80 Sport with the Prestige and summer tire packages, which, combined, allow this four-door to do its best impression of a full-fledged sport sedan. With 391 lb-ft of torque on tap, the V6 has the thrust to propel you to extralegal speeds in just a few seconds. The adaptive suspension provides a stable, smooth ride in its default Comfort mode, and body roll in tight turns is well managed, even in this least aggressive driving mode. Selecting the Sport or Sport+ driving mode makes the vehicle feel even more planted, as well as firms up steering wheel effort.

These modes also hang onto gears a bit longer, so the transmission won't automatically upshift at low rpm. However, the shift logic does sometimes downshift unnecessarily under light loads. In Sport+ and at light throttle, for instance, the transmission might downshift for seemingly no reason, leaving you with an engine churning at 5,000 rpm and your foot barely on the accelerator. It's a strange feeling — many competitors will take a user's throttle position into account when making these decisions and feel more natural.

We knocked the V6-powered G80 last year for a few comfort-related issues, such as elevated road noise and a mildly brittle ride. Oddly, the Sport Prestige's new suspension tuning, which would theoretically make for an even stiffer ride, is perfectly reasonable on the road. The new active noise cancellation feature works as advertised; the G80 is impressively quiet at low speeds, and there's not much road noise on the highway.

Though performance is the Sport's true raison d'être, the interior upgrades might also seal the deal. The standard G80's steering wheel looks like a cross between the two-spoke design of the GV80 and those in some newer Hyundais. The Sport's three-spoke wheel is more conventional, svelte and, to our eyes, more handsome. The crosshatched carbon-fiber trim is also pretty neat, and the bookmarked chevron stitching on the seat centers is quite fetching. Finally, the blue and brown leather dyes from last year's model are not available on the Sport. Instead, buyers have a choice between the existing black or beige colors, or a new treatment that Genesis calls Sevilla Red. If you're looking to carry the sport theme to the nth degree, we recommend this new Red Vines-like color.

Edmunds says

V6-powered versions of the 2022 Genesis G80 are now called G80 Sport. A more aggressive exterior and unique cabin design help the G80 Sport look the part, while under-the-hood improvements ensure it has the performance to earn the name.
