The Genesis G80 is the newest contender in the midsize luxury class, but it’s quickly become the equal of some of the world’s most well-balanced cars. Expert test driver Colin Ryan says of the 2024 edition, “With lots of standard equipment, contemporary technology, superb comfort, and class-appropriate styling, the G80 is a strong contender against more established rivals like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.”
For 2025, it’s getting an update. It’s not a wheels-up redesign. It’s what the auto industry calls a “mid-cycle refresh” – styling tweaks and technology updates to keep it competitive with recent rival updates.
The facelift means a (slightly) new look. The car’s silhouette stays unchanged, but its prominent shield grille gets a wider chain-link mesh, and designers reshaped a wide air vent beneath it. Its headlamps keep the two-line theme that is now a Genesis signature. New micro-lens array technology makes the lamps more effective in low-light situations without blinding oncoming traffic.
The 2024 G80 dash used two screens, one for the driver and a second in the center. The 2025 edition will replace both with a single 27-inch wide OLED dash-mounted screen. This arrangement lends a cleaner, higher-tech look to the cabin. The older version used a pair of puck-style controllers — one for the transmission and a second for infotainment functions. They’re still present for 2025 but are now made of crystal for a high-fashion touch.
A reshaped steering wheel gets a subtle flat bottom and a stylish two-tone look.
Mechanical changes are limited to new standard 4-piston fixed monobloc front brake calipers. The two powertrain choices return: a gasoline 2.5-liter turbo engine delivering 300 horsepower and a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 making 375 hp.
