Genesis G80

We share five things we like about the 2025 Genesis G80 and two things we don’t.

Other than a new Prestige Black trim level and a few minor interior upgrades, the 2026 Genesis G80 family carries over.

The Prestige Black trim is now available on the model-year 2026 Genesis GV80 SUV and GV80 Coupe; the 2026 G80 and G90 sedans will go on sale soon with the new trim level.

The Genesis name first appeared on a sedan beginning with the 2009 model year.

More than 32,500 Genesis vehicles are being recalled for an issue with the instrument panel that may cause it to go blank, increasing the risk of a crash.

Of 30 vehicles subject to the new test in the agency’s latest front crash evaluation, 22 rated good or acceptable.

Along with general excellence, the best cars represent ultimate luxury in their class and/or are exceptionally well-rounded, providing luxury along with above-average usability and drivability.

Here’s a breakdown of the Genesis’ wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto update, including who gets the update, how it works and what options are available for installing it.

A mild update brings a humongous screen to the 2025 Genesis G80, but it's done in a way that truly enhances the experience rather than being a polarizing addition like some big screens.

For 2025, the Genesis G80 gets a minor mid-cycle face-lift, with new front and rear exterior styling, fresh wheel designs and a tweaked interior.
