Genesis G80 Facelift (2024): Price/Engine

The Genesis G80 facelift (2024) is on the starting blocks and will replace its predecessor in about four years. The engines remain the same, the design has been modified. The brand is still keeping the details low about the price of the sedan.

Price: The Genesis G80 Facelift (2024) is probably the most expensive

Genesis is the name of a young luxury brand from the Korean (South) car manufacturer Hyundai. At the end of 2023, it presented a revision of its luxury sedan. The Genesis G80 facelift (2024) has a revised look and revised engine range. The manufacturer has not yet announced the price, but the upcoming model is likely to be more expensive than its predecessor, which starts at 52,700 euros (from January 2024).

Drives: Familiar G80 engines

The proven gasoline engines of the predecessor are also available for Genesis G80 Facelift (2024). As a 2.5-l turbo, these produce 304 hp (224 kW) and 422 Nm of torque and as a 3.5-l turbo they produce 380 hp (280 kW) and 530 Nm of torque. Until now, only the 2.5 liter version was available in Germany, with the diesel engine no longer available.

Genesis is not saying a word about an electric-powered variant of the G80 facelift. So it remains doubtful whether the Genesis Electrified G80 will have a successor. After all: the predecessor’s combustion engine variants were announced and brought to market well before the G80 Electric. Perhaps this process will repeat itself.

Exterior: Sharper lines

Visually, Genesis G80 Facelift (2024) is more advanced. Without departing too much from previous models, the body appears more mature thanks to its sharper and more elegant lines. The most interesting feature of the new model is the modified front end with a large radiator grille and a new front apron, which, like its predecessor, differs between the basic and sports models. At the rear, the tailpipes are no longer visible under the revised bumper. The changes in the Genesis-standard segmented lighting units are not very noticeable. The facelift also continues on newly designed rims that extend the range. The facelifted G80 should adopt the dimensions of its predecessor at 4995 mm in length, 1925 mm in width and 1465 mm in height.

Interior: Luxurious and elegant

In the interior of the Genesis G80 Facelift (2024), the dashboard has been completely redesigned and now has a 27-inch screen that combines a digital instrument cluster with an infotainment system. As a result, the entire dashboard now has a more horizontal design. The center console and door panels also look clean and the choice of materials is top notch. Also amazing is the brand new multifunction steering wheel with a sleeker impact absorber and a classic three-spoke layout. The Genesis also offers a sports package that, in addition to the most amazing exterior, also includes the most detailed customization of the interior, including a special steering wheel and various carbon elements in different versions.

Support systems: Everything for comfort

The Genesis G80 Facelift (2024) comes with a number of assistance systems that are meant to accompany and assist the person behind the wheel at all times. According to the European Union regulations, which have been in force since 2024, all G80 models (in Europe) will be installed accordingly. Among other things, a collision warning system, a smart parking assistant and a camera system for improved visibility are on board. Speed ​​assist and emergency stop assist are also included as standard.
