The 2026 Genesis G80 is a midsize luxury sedan that delivers refined elegance and modern performance. This stunning sedan offers two powerful engine choices: a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder producing 300 horsepower or a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 delivering 375 horsepower. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The G80 features an athletic exterior with the signature G-Matrix crest grille, elegant two-line LED headlamps, and flowing design lines. Inside, you'll find a massive 27-inch OLED display, premium Nappa leather seating with double-diamond quilting, open-pore wood trim, and a tempered glass shift selector. The G80 includes Genesis's industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and 3 years of complimentary maintenance. Advanced safety features come standard, including forward collision-avoidance assist, lane following assist, and smart cruise control.

2026 Genesis G80 Performance

The 2026 Genesis G80 delivers smooth and confident performance that makes every drive around Manchester, NH feel effortless and refined. The base 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine generates 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, providing plenty of power for daily driving and highway cruising. This engine accelerates the G80 from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 5.7 seconds, which means merging onto I-93 or passing slower traffic on Route 3 is always easy and stress-free. The turbocharged four-cylinder delivers strong mid-range power that responds quickly when you press the accelerator, making it perfect for navigating city traffic or cruising through the scenic White Mountains. The engine works seamlessly with the smooth eight-speed automatic transmission that shifts so quietly you barely notice the gear changes.

For drivers who want more performance, the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine delivers an exhilarating 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. This powerful engine propels the G80 from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds, providing sports sedan acceleration in a luxury package. The V6 model includes performance enhancements like an electronically controlled suspension with road preview technology that reads the road surface ahead and adjusts the suspension in real-time to maximize comfort. The Sport Prestige models also feature rear-wheel steering that improves maneuverability when parking downtown and enhances stability when cornering at higher speeds. The G80 offers multiple drive modes including Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Custom that let you tailor the driving experience to match your mood and road conditions. Available launch control optimizes torque delivery for maximum acceleration while minimizing wheel slip.

New Hampshire drivers will appreciate the G80's standard all-wheel drive system, which provides excellent traction during our harsh winter months and wet spring weather. The intelligent AWD system constantly monitors road conditions and distributes power to the wheels with the most grip, giving you confidence on snowy roads and slippery surfaces. The G80's suspension is tuned for comfort rather than aggressive handling, which means it glides smoothly over rough pavement and provides a serene, quiet ride. The cabin is exceptionally well-insulated from engine noise and road vibration, creating a peaceful environment whether you're commuting to work in downtown Manchester or taking a weekend trip to the Lakes Region. The precise electric power steering provides good feedback without feeling overly heavy, and the powerful brakes deliver confident stopping power in all conditions. The G80 excels at what it's designed to do: deliver a smooth, comfortable, and luxurious driving experience that makes every journey feel special.

2026 Genesis G80 Convenience Features

The 2026 Genesis G80 is packed with thoughtful convenience features that elevate your daily driving experience. At the center of the dashboard sits a stunning 27-inch OLED display that stretches from the driver's side all the way to the passenger area. This ultra-wide screen serves as both your digital instrument cluster and your infotainment system, displaying everything from navigation directions to vehicle status information with crystal-clear graphics. The screen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to connect your smartphone and access your favorite apps, music, and podcasts. The intuitive interface responds quickly to touch inputs, and you can also control many functions using the rotary dial on the center console. Genesis Digital Key 2 technology lets you use your compatible smartphone as your car key, allowing you to unlock the doors and start the engine without carrying a physical key fob.

The G80 features Genesis Connected Services that provide enhanced roadside assistance, stolen vehicle recovery, and Genesis Pay, which allows you to pay for fuel and reserve parking spots at participating locations right from your car. The Driver Profiles system remembers your personal preferences for everything from seat position to climate settings and navigation favorites, so the car automatically adjusts to your preferences when you get in. The available Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 is particularly useful in tight parking situations. With the press and hold of a button, the G80 can intelligently park itself in diagonal, perpendicular, or parallel parking spots. The system uses sensors all around the vehicle to guide it safely into the space while you stand outside the car. This feature is especially handy when dealing with tight garage spaces or narrow parking spots on Elm Street.

Inside, you'll find numerous USB-C charging ports throughout the cabin, along with a convenient wireless charging pad up front that keeps your compatible smartphone powered up without cables. The available head-up display projects important driving information onto the windshield so you can keep your eyes on the road. Three-zone automatic climate control allows the driver, front passenger, and rear passengers to each set their own temperature preferences. The available Bang & Olufsen premium audio system features 18 speakers and a 14-channel amplifier pumping out 1,400 watts of power, creating a concert hall-like listening experience. Soft-close doors are available on higher trims, gently pulling the doors shut with a satisfying thunk. The panoramic sunroof floods the cabin with natural light and opens up to let in fresh air on beautiful New England days. Every detail has been carefully considered to make your time in the G80 as comfortable and convenient as possible.

2026 Genesis G80 Trim Levels

The 2026 Genesis G80 offers five carefully curated trim levels, each designed to meet different needs and preferences. The lineup is divided into two main engine options-the efficient 2.5T and the powerful 3.5T-with various feature packages available within each engine choice. Let's explore what makes each trim level special and help you determine which G80 is the perfect match for your lifestyle.

2.5T AWD – Luxury Starts Here

The 2.5T AWD is the entry point to G80 ownership, but it comes remarkably well-equipped for a base model. This trim features the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The exterior rides on elegant 18-inch alloy wheels and features acoustic laminated glass that reduces outside noise for a quieter cabin. Premium touches include power-adjustable front seats, synthetic leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel. Climate comfort comes from dual-zone automatic climate control that keeps both driver and passenger comfortable.

Technology features are impressive even on the base trim.

The 12-speaker audio system delivers quality sound throughout the cabin. Safety features are comprehensive, including forward collision-avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, blind-spot collision warning, rear cross-traffic collision warning, and smart cruise control with stop-and-go capability. The 2.5T AWD starts at $58,450, offering remarkable luxury and features at a competitive price point. This trim proves that you don't need to spend a fortune to enjoy the Genesis experience.

2.5T Advanced AWD – Enhanced Luxury and Features

The 2.5T Advanced AWD builds upon the base model with a significant upgrade in luxury features and convenience. This trim represents excellent value by adding premium amenities that justify the price increase. The exterior gets a more sophisticated look with 19-inch alloy wheels that enhance the G80's elegant proportions. A panoramic sunroof opens up the cabin and fills it with natural light, creating an airy and spacious feeling. The Advanced trim upgrades to genuine leather seating surfaces that feel premium to the touch, and adds ventilated front seats to keep you cool during warm New Hampshire summers.

Technology and convenience take a big step forward with this trim. The audio system upgrades to the premium Bang & Olufsen system with 18 speakers and 1,400 watts of power, transforming your daily commute into a concert experience. Three-zone automatic climate control allows driver, front passenger, and rear passengers to each choose their ideal temperature.

2.5T Sport Prestige AWD – Maximum Features with Four-Cylinder Efficiency

The 2.5T Sport Prestige AWD is the top trim available with the four-cylinder engine, and it comes loaded with nearly every luxury feature Genesis offers.

The surround-view monitor uses multiple cameras to give you a bird's-eye view when parking, making tight spaces much easier to navigate. The 2.5T Sport Prestige AWD starts at $69,950, delivering flagship-level luxury and technology while keeping the more economical four-cylinder engine under the hood.

3.5T Sport Prestige AWD – Pure Performance and Luxury

The 3.5T Sport Prestige AWD takes everything from the 2.5T Sport Prestige and adds the powerful twin-turbo V6 engine. The 3.5-liter engine produces 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque, delivering exhilarating acceleration and effortless highway passing power. This engine transforms the G80 into a genuine performance sedan that can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds. The extra power doesn't compromise the smooth and refined driving experience-the twin-turbo V6 is remarkably quiet and delivers its power in a linear, predictable manner that inspires confidence.

All the premium features from the 2.5T Sport Prestige carry over, including the 20-inch Sport alloy wheels, Nappa leather upholstery, carbon fiber trim, suede headliner, head-up display, electronically controlled suspension with road preview, rear-wheel steering, electronic limited-slip differential, and surround-view monitor. The 3.5T adds exclusive features like a Sport+ drive mode that raises the idle RPMs and provides even sportier tuning for enthusiastic driving. The available launch control system optimizes acceleration for maximum performance. The 3.5T Sport Prestige AWD starts at $78,350, positioning it as a compelling alternative to German luxury sedans from BMW and Mercedes-Benz while offering more standard features at a lower price.

Prestige Black AWD – The Exclusive Dark Edition

New for 2026, the Prestige Black AWD is an exclusive trim level that showcases sophisticated dark styling throughout the entire vehicle. This special edition is only available with the powerful 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, ensuring you get maximum performance along with unique aesthetics. The exterior makes a dramatic statement with stunning 20-inch black alloy wheels, dark headlamp bezels, black exterior trim and badging, and distinctive dark chrome accents.
