Available with a 300-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder or a 375-hp turbo V-6, the G80 stands apart from its rivals thanks to its gorgeous cabin design, roomy backseat and generous warranty. An electric-only version called the Electrified G80 is reviewed separately.

Should I Buy the 2024 Genesis G80?

The G80 is sleek and elegant, with a lush cabin that competes with the very best mid-size luxury sedans out there. Downsides include some frustrating menus in the infotainment system — not to mention its thirst for fuel when you opt for the turbocharged V-6. It’s also easy to confuse the rotary-dial infotainment controller with the gear selector. Still, with a wealth of standard comfort, safety and tech features, the G80 is a good value in a class that isn’t known for being forgiving to car shoppers’ budgets.
