The new G80 retains its value with some smart updates.
The G80 is meant for calm commuting, not canyon carving.holds a storied place in the company’s history. This midsize sedan debuted as the fanciest Hyundai model before the manufacturer decided to spin off Genesis into its own luxury brand in 2017. We got a new G80 in 2021, and theThe G80 has always been a handsome car, and it just gets a nip and tuck for 2025—a non-invasive thread lift, if you will.
The V-6 powertrain is smooth and sophisticated, not riotous and rowdy. It will rip up to triple digits easily if that’s your jam, but the ride in Comfort mode and even Sport mode feels a bit floaty. It’s not bad, it’s just easy like Sunday morning.
One curious feature Genesis includes is the option to dial in your braking experience. This seems odd on a car not meant for über-spirited driving, but dig into the driver’s assistance screens and you find the option for Comfort or Sport settings for the brakes. The latter tightens up the experience a bit, with more bite near the top of the pedal stroke, but it seems like a specialty item that doesn’t quite match the car’s laid-back character.
However, even with my hands on the wheel, the system feels a bit unsure of itself on the highway, refusing to take a long sweeper on its own. Mercedes-Benz has a better hands-on system. The good news is that the automatic lane change system works well. I merely have to signal and the car takes care of the rest. Still, other manufacturers do this tech better.
