2025 Genesis G80 Gets Minor Face-Lift, Priced From $58,350
The Genesis G80 committed to all-weather capability for the 2024 model year, with the brand making all-wheel drive standard across the line for its mid-size luxury sedan. For 2025, the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class competitor gets a minor mid-cycle face-lift, with new front and rear exterior styling, fresh wheel designs and a tweaked interior featuring a 27-inch combination digital instrument cluster and infotainment touchscreen; additionally, the 3.5T Sport trim is gone. Genesis seems confident that the updates are an improvement and has raised the G80’s base price $2,700 from 2024, to $58,350 (all prices include $1,250 destination).

Safety Features and Trim Levels
Standard safety features on the 2025 G80 include forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure steering assist, lane-centering steering, blind spot intervention, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, front and rear parking sensors, traffic-sign recognition, automatic high beams, a driver attention monitor and safe-exit assist. Genesis’s Highway Driving Assist 2 is also standard; while this tech combines adaptive cruise control and lane-centering steering for semi-autonomous highway cruising, it requires the driver keep their hands on the wheel to function.
The entry-level 2.5T rides on 18-inch wheels and features LED exterior lighting, a hands-free power trunk lid, and keyless entry and start. It is upholstered in synthetic leather and includes power front seats, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, ambient interior lighting, 12 speakers and rain-sensing windshield wipers. A 27-inch display combines the digital instrument cluster and infotainment touchscreen and features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and satellite radio.
The step-up 2.5T Advanced rides on 19-inch wheels and adds a panoramic moonroof, power rear-window shades, ventilated front seats, matte wood trim, tri-zone automatic climate control and a Bang & Olufsen premium audio system.
The top trim of the four-cylinder lineup, the 2.5T Sport Prestige, transforms the G80. It features Genesis’s advanced Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview, which scans the road ahead with a camera and proactively prepares the dampers at individual corners for road imperfections. The Sport Prestige also gets a sportier suspension tuning and upgraded brakes, as well as a comprehensive safety-tech upgrade that includes a 360-degree parking camera, blind spot cameras and autonomous parking. Inside, it features upgraded front seats with massage, leather upholstery, aluminum sport pedals and wireless smartphone charging. Genesis Digital Key 2 allows owners to use that phone as the vehicle key.
The Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview is standard on every six-cylinder G80. In addition to everything standard on the 2.5T Advanced, the 3.5T Sport Advanced includes leather upholstery, aluminum trim, massaging seats, Digital Key 2 and wireless phone charging.
Like the 2.5T Sport Prestige, the 3.5T Sport Prestige gets a sport-tuned suspension and upgraded brakes, but it also includes an electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential, rear-wheel steering and 20-inch wheels. Other exclusive content includes Nappa leather upholstery, carbon-fiber interior trim, a heated center-console armrest and a head-up display.
