2024 Genesis G80

Price Range: $37,998 - $50,998

Genesis G80 3.5T Sport Sedan Exterior. Prestige Package Shown.

Good

The 2024 Genesis G80 boasts a classy interior, pleasing performance and appealing value. It largely 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

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

Updated: 5/8/2026

Genesis might be one of the newest premium brands in America, but it understands what some buyers seek in a luxury car: opulence. From its distinctive and flashy grille to its tapered and tidy tail, the G80 displays a sense of style and elegance that some rivals lack. The interior is equally appealing: inviting, warm, cozy, and outfitted with quality materials. The G80 splits the difference between the smaller G70 sport sedan and the larger G90 flagship four-door, offering a midsize Genesis with flavors of each of its siblings. And in 2024, the G80 comes only with all-wheel drive.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Cameron Rogers

Good

8.0

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Genesis 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 G80 drive? The 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 in the running 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

8/10

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

8/10

How’s the interior? An agreeable ride height and narrow doorsills 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 test vehicle — 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

8/10

How’s the tech? The available 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.

In testing, we found the G80's adaptive cruise control worked well but the lane centering feature would sometimes ping-pong the vehicle to either side of the lane. Rival sedans typically have more refinement in the way their advanced driver aids work.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The G80's trunk is average in size. 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? We tested the G80 with the V6 engine. The EPA estimates it should get 19 mpg in combined city/highway driving, which is below average for a midsize luxury sedan. That said, we achieved 24.1 mpg on our real-world evaluation route, illustrating that the EPA's numbers should be easy to achieve in real-world driving.

Value

8/10

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. Interior materials are a pleasant mix of leather, synthetic leather, open-pore wood and aluminum. The overall effect is simply stunning. That said, our test vehicle 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' shield-like grille is an acquired taste, but you have to admit the G80 won't get lost in a parking lot 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.

2024 Genesis G80 trim level differences

The 2024 Genesis G80 is a midsize luxury sedan available in 2.5T and 3.5T Sport trim levels. The G80 2.5T has a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (300 horsepower, 311 lb-ft), and the G80 3.5T Sport uses a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 (375 hp, 391 lb-ft). Every 2024 G80 has an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. An Electrified G80 is also available with a purely electric drivetrain, but we review that model separately. Compare the 2024 Genesis G80 trim levels in-depth.

Which G80 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Though it's less powerful, we recommend the G80 2.5T instead of the substantially more expensive 3.5T. For the money you'd spend to get the 3.5T Sport's 75 added horsepower and 80 lb-ft more torque, you can instead upgrade the 2.5T with the Sport Prestige package to enjoy a luxurious, technologically advanced sedan with plenty of spirit.

Competitors to consider

The Genesis G80 counts other midsize luxury cars as its rivals, including the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CT5, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Volvo S90. The Cadillac is the only one with a lower base price, and the Volvo offers substantially more interior room. The BMW and Mercedes are all-new for 2024, undoubtedly improved over their already appealing predecessors. Still intrigued by the G80? Be sure to read our test team's Expert Review to learn more.

Edmunds spotlight: Ownership perks

Genesis also knows that it must entice customers more than established luxury brands. So, when you buy one, you get a long list of ownership perks, starting with the concierge service that helps you find the ideal G80 in the first place. Then, after you own the car, you receive complimentary scheduled service for three years or 36,000 miles, and a service valet from the dealership comes to get your G80 and brings you a loaner vehicle. Genesis also provides complimentary connected services with no expiration date, roadside assistance for five years with no mileage restriction, and an impressive warranty.

Most Helpful Owner Review

Better with each mile

Brian U, 04/06/2022

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.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2024 Genesis G80, so we've included review for other years of the G80 since its last redesign.
