The luxurious feeling, build, and quality of the Genesis G80 has given us the smooth, competent, and impressive drive we’ve admired.

Not wanting to rest on its laurels, Genesis brings us a new, second-generation version of the G80 for the 2022 model year. This car was already a strength of the lineup, and now it’s even better than before. If you’re looking for the luxury car that fits your desires and brings you the ideal drive every time you get behind the wheel, look to this Genesis sedan.

The Tale of Two Versions of this Car

When you’re shopping for the right model of the G80 to drive, you’ll want to take two separate test drives. This is because there are two distinctly different powertrains to give you different applications of the features included. Both models are exemplary in their driving personalities but are extremely different. Will you choose a comfortable and stately car with enough power to handle all your drive without stress, or will you select the model that adds sportiness to the drive? Take your two test drives and see which version is right for you.

What Makes this Genesis the Right Choice?

No matter the version of the Genesis G80 you choose to drive, you’ll have qualities that make this car one that’s easy for you to enjoy. The G80 includes a comprehensive package of standard equipment, it brings you a roomy and plush cabin, you’ll have the availability of AWD, and the pricing is better than any other luxury car in its class. This means you’re going to have a luxury car that should be considered the value-oriented model that can bring you the experience and drive that you’ve been missing out on; until now.

You Won’t Want to Step Out of the Cabin

Once you’re inside and seated where you want to be, you won’t want to leave the cabin area of the G80. Even base models with the simulated leather upholstery are comfortable and elegant in the way the materials are used. Check out the soft-touch surfaces, listen to the quietness of the cabin, and admire the technology that brings you the modern approach to driving. The trunk measures 13.1 cubic feet, which is big enough for you to take a road trip and spend several days away from home.

A Beautiful New Style to this Genesis

This new generation model of the Genesis G80 brings you the latest styling elements that are part of what this brand offers. The 2.5T models are equipped with standard 18-inch alloy wheels to give you a sophisticated look you’ll desire. If you select a 3.5T model, you’ll have improved front-end and rear-end aesthetics while also having the option of some specific paint color. Choose this version and ride on either 19 or 20-inch wheels that have been designed specifically for this vehicle.
