Genesis G80

What is the Genesis G80?

The G80 is a large luxury sedan at the heart of Genesis’s saloon range, between the smaller G70 and flagship G90. Its four-door cabin gives it a more spacious, comfort-focused character. Genesis became a standalone brand in 2015, with a design identity shaped by details such as the crest grille and two-line lamps inspired by its winged emblem.
