2023 Genesis G80 Review
Still a newer name in luxury, the 2023 Genesis G80 is a modern classic. From its gorgeous interior to its refined exterior, every element seems carefully calibrated to achieve a sense of the whole.
The muscular, sporty exterior may make you surprised to find such a lush, supportive interior. High tech toys are definitely in play.
If you are shopping -- or just window shopping -- for a new luxury vehicle, this review is for you. It covers all aspects of the 2023 Genesis G80.
Performance Engines
Whether it’s the sporty nature of the 2023 G80 2.5T or the racy attitude of the G80 3.5T, Genesis fulfills luxury car shopper’s expectations. Then there’s the new all electric edition with its V12-like torque rate.
The turbo four churns out 300 horsepower. That jumps to 375 horsepower with the twin turbo V6. Standard torque is 311 pound-feet while the twin turbo Sport trim boosts that to 391 pound-feet.
With the four-cylinder turbo, rear-wheel drive adds to the racy feel. Twin turbos come with all wheel drive and an adaptive suspension. The top trim adds rear wheel steering, a feature that you won’t find on the Audi A6 or Mercedes Benz e Class.
The 2023 Electrified G80 sedan is definitely worth a mention here, although it is covered in a separate review. The 365-horsepower electric system churns out 575 pound-feet of torque. If you are ready to go electric, you can take advantage of the federal tax credit.
Awards and Rankings
The 2023 Genesis G80 has a good reputation. This was sealed by such wins as its top ranking in the JD Power U.S. APEAL Study. This analyzed real owners' views on how well the luxury car lived up to its advertising.
This luxury midsize car is in the top two at US News and World Report. They praise it for good reliability scores as well as its opulent interior and confident driving dynamics. Kelley Blue Book writes that the car goes “from strength to strength”. After test driving, a Road and Track review suggested this car “has some magic in it”.
JD Power praises the ride for ‘extra value at virtually every turn’. Calling it a ‘tough act to beat’, a CNet reviewer noted how it costs so much less than its rivals, but it still has more value packed into it. Your current ride is probably the perfect down payment. Value your trade.
Interior Color Schemes
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of riding in a luxury car that you helped personalize. That’s the thinking behind the unique color combinations available in the G80 cabin.
Providing subtle contrast, there’s a maroon brown combined with a Havanna brown. For greater contrast, the Maroon Brown can be combined with exciting Forest Blue seats. In another subtle contrast, there’s the richness of anthracite and beige.
Sport models take the typical black monotone style and switch it up with quilted leather. The stitching comes either a distinguished gray or a racy red. In another example, the Sport Prestige can be dressed in red leather seats and soft touches. A real Carbon Trim adds a two-tone interior accent to this midsize luxury sedan.
Exterior Colors and Styling
As for exterior colors, they start out sedate and end up in a racy Cavendish Red, available on the 3.5T only. Other exciting colors include a silky Tasman Blue, a lush Capri Blue, a distinctive Hallasan Green, and a remarkable Valencia Gold.
Other colors include Uyuni White, Vik Black, Saville Silver, Makalu Gray, and the 3.5T-exclusive Siberian Ice. With financing from your Earnhardt Genesis G80 dealer, you can take your pick of the trim and color that matches your personality or lifestyle.

Infotainment System
On the dash, there is a 14.5-inch infotainment touch screen. The system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. This allows you to stream your favorite apps to the screen.
A clever 8-inch driver display is side by side with the analog gauges. The top trim has full digital instrumentation with its 14.5-inch screen behind the steering wheel. The premium sound system can be upgraded to an even more amazing Lexicon 21-speaker audio system.
Seating Comforts
As a midsize luxury sedan, the Genesis G80 is prepared to take care of its passengers in every way. This is especially true of the driver who gets a 12-way power chair and a standard power-adjusting steering wheel. This seat can be upgraded to a 16-way power chair with Ergo Motion.
This Genesis exclusive can automatically increase bolstering at higher speeds. It has a smart posture function to help you find the right angle. Plus it can go through a range of settings to give you the feeling of movement when your body is getting tired of sitting still.
Front seat passengers also have a 12-way power chair. On top trims, they have an assist to make entry easier. The rear seat passengers have 38.7 inches of legroom.
Trim Levels and Features
The Standard 2.5T trim level comes with leatherette seating, the dual power chairs, and large touchscreen. There are numerous driver aids, including forward collision avoidance, blind spot collision avoidance, lane departure assist, and more.
Stepping up to the 2.5T Advanced, you get a trio of ways to beat the heat: the tri-zone automatic climate controls, side and rear sunshades, and ventilated front seats. New luxury elements include the panoramic moonroof and more color schemes.
When you choose the Prestige, 2.5T drivers enjoy full leather upholstery and the maximum parking assistance. The 3.5T Sport is well equipped with ventilated seats and fine leather upholstery. However, the top tier Sport Prestige is definitely the most high tech model. Its high style includes lush Nappa leather upholstery and carbon fiber trim.
