2025 Genesis G80 price and specs

The Genesis G80 is the latest model from the Korean luxury brand to simultaneously receive a facelift and have its lineup trimmed back.

The facelifted G80 will now come standard with the Luxury Package in base 2.5T guise. This was previously a $13,000 option – however, this now means the base price has climbed by over $19,000.

The flagship 3.5T continues to come standard with the Luxury Package, with the Sport Package remaining a $6000 option. A rear-seat entertainment package is a $4500 option.

All G80 models feature a new 27-inch OLED display that incorporates the digital instrument cluster and infotainment touchscreen.

The G80 supports over-the-air software updates, and has the latest generation of Genesis Connected Services which allows owners to access key functions remotely using their smartphone.

There’s a new three-spoke steering wheel and the centre console has been redesigned, while new standard equipment includes a heated front console armrest, fingerprint recognition, and active road noise cancellation.

The sound system is also now a Bang & Olufsen unit with 18 speakers.

The G80 also upgrades to the latest versions of Genesis’ active safety and driver assist features including Highway Driving Assist and Lane Following Assist.

Externally, the G80 gets a refreshed grille and bumpers plus new wheel designs, while the LED headlights now feature Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology.

When equipped with the Sport Package, the 3.5T gets unique front- and rear-end styling as before as well as additional performance hardware like a limited-slip differential and rear-axle steering.

Servicing and Warranty

The Genesis G80 is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. This applies to owners of G80s used privately, as does five years of complimentary Genesis to You.

This sees a valet come pick up your Genesis for servicing and leave you with another Genesis vehicle. The complimentary pickup service is only available if you’re within 70km driving distance from the Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane CBDs.

The first five years or 75,000km of servicing is free, with intervals of 12 months or 15,000km. Genesis also includes five years of roadside assistance, extending to 10 years if you service your vehicle with Genesis.
