The fully loaded configuration adds premium comfort features, advanced driver-assistance technologies, and luxury amenities that elevate the driving experience to an executive level.

Under the hood, the 2017 Genesis G80 3.8 is powered by a smooth and responsive 3.8L V6 engine producing 311 horsepower and 293 lb-ft of torque. The naturally aspirated V6 delivers strong acceleration while maintaining the refined and quiet driving character expected from a luxury sedan.
Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the G80 provides smooth and seamless shifting that helps create a relaxed and composed driving experience. One of the biggest strengths of the G80 is how balanced it feels on the road. The suspension is tuned for comfort, absorbing bumps and rough pavement extremely well while still maintaining confident handling and stability.

Heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seating, and a heated steering wheel help provide year-round comfort regardless of weather conditions.
One of the most impressive aspects of the G80 is cabin quietness. Genesis engineered the interior with extensive sound insulation, helping reduce road noise and creating a smooth and relaxing environment for both drivers and passengers.
The fully loaded configuration also adds luxury touches like a panoramic sunroof, rear sunshade, memory seating, and premium materials throughout the cabin, giving the sedan a true executive-level feel.
