2026 Genesis G80 Trims Comparison

Which 2026 G80 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think the 2.5T is the best G80 for most buyers. It offers adequate power, and with the addition of the Sport Prestige package, you'll get every critical feature you'll find in the G80's German competition.

2026 G80 trim level differences

The 2026 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). All G80s have an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. An Electrified G80 is also available with a purely electric drivetrain; we review that model separately.

G80 2.5T
The 2.5T trim includes these standard features:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • Three-zone automatic climate control
  • Power-adjustable steering column
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Synthetic leather seating surfaces
  • Heated, power-adjustable front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated rear seats

Standard tech features include:

  • 27-inch infotainment display (includes instrument cluster)
  • Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Navigation system
  • Genesis Connected Services
  • Nine-speaker audio system

Standard driver assist features on the 2.5T include:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the G80 and the car in front)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic avoidance assist (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse and can automatically apply the brake to avoid a collision)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane centering system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)

Genesis offers two option packages for the G80 2.5T:

Advanced package

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Power-operated hands-free trunk release
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Power rear window sunshade
  • Rear controls for the three-zone climate control
  • Bang & Olufsen premium audio
  • Genesis Digital Key 2
  • Front wireless device charger
  • Power-operated rear window shade
  • Rear side window shades

Sport Prestige package

  • Sport appearance bumpers, grille and trim
  • 20-inch wheels
  • Upgraded rear brakes
  • Sport-tuned and road-scanning suspension (uses sensors to scan the road ahead and preemptively adjust the suspension for greater comfort)
  • Performance brakes
  • Leather upholstery
  • Power soft-close doors
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the G80 and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Front, rear and side parking sensors
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Power-operated bottom cushion extension for driver's seat
  • Remote parking assistant

G80 3.5T Sport Prestige
The 3.5T Sport Prestige has the more powerful V6 engine and is broadly equipped with the same features as the base 2.5T and the 2.5T's optional Advanced package. It also adds the following features:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Electronic limited-slip rear differential (helps maximize available traction during hard acceleration)
  • Rear-wheel steering (enhances vehicle maneuverability)
  • Premium leather seats
  • Synthetic suede headliner
  • Heated center console armrest
  • Head-up display
  • Heated rear outboard seats

G80 3.5T Prestige Black
This top trim is largely an appearance package. It removes the Sport Prestige trim's electronic limited-slip differential, rear-wheel steering and sport appearance trim. It replaces those items with the following:

  • Black 20-inch wheels
  • Black interior and exterior trim with dark chrome accents
  • Premium interior wood trim
  • Premium leather seats with quilting
