Seating comfort is especially notable. Plush and supportive, every seat also supplies generous space for your head and legs. Up front, seat heaters are standard, but rear-seat heaters are also an option to keep everyone a little cozier. On the flip side, you can add front-seat ventilation to cool off your summer cruises. The optional Ergo motion driver’s seat optimizes comfort, adjusting its seven interior air cells according to driving mode and cruising speed.

Safety, Security, and Technology

Safety is a major G80 priority. All trim models come standard with cutting-edge driver aids, technology that gives you an advantage when it comes to avoiding danger. For instance, the adaptive cruise control system features stop-and-go technology, putting a more relaxing spin on rush-hour situations. Besides identifying a potential collision, the forward collision warning system helps you spot pedestrians and even automatically applies the brakes to mitigate damages.

2021 Genesis G80 Technology

Besides the usual suspects, the upscale G80 sedan also offers some innovative safety options. In addition to the standard blind-spot radar system, which alerts you to a vehicle you can’t see, the blind-spot view monitor actually shows you what you can’t see. The remote start parking assist system will park your G80 autonomously, whether you’re inside or outside the cabin.

Power and Performance

For 2021, the Genesis G80 rolls out two new powertrain options, a standard turbocharged four-cylinder and an optional turbo V6. Both are big on horsepower and quick to respond to driver input, sending the G80 into quick-moving traffic with speed and precision. In addition to a quick ride, the new powertrain options contribute to the G80’s smooth, refined performance. Also, every G80 comes with rear-wheel drive, a feature that adds an element of athleticism to your daily drive. For an even sportier performance, add optional all-wheel drive.

  • Standard turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (300 horsepower, 311 pound-feet of torque)
  • Optional turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 (375 hp, 391 lb.-ft.)
