2021 Genesis G80 Release Date
The 2021 G80 sedan is expected to arrive in Summer 2020, but
it might release closer to Fall 2020. Some production delays due to COVID-19
have slowed down the release of new cars, but we have no reason to believe that
the G80 will be pushed off any further.
2021 Genesis G80 Price
The MSRP of the new 2021 Genesis G80 starts at just $47,700 ($48,725 with destination charges). This price is very affordable for the luxury sedan segment and lower than competing models that the 2021 Genesis G80 stacks up against. The most expensive 2021 G80 Sedan is the 3.5T V6 AWD Prestige with a starting price tag of $67,650 ($68,675 with destination charges).

2021 Genesis G80: Is There a Sport Trim?
In previous models, there was a Genesis G80 Sport to choose
from. While the "Sport" name doesn't seem to move forward in the new
generation, the popular Sport model will live on with closely related 3.5T trim
levels. The 3.5T option provides more power and premium features than other
options. In 2020, the G80 Sport added additional "sporty"
interior/exterior styling packages and a more robust engine. If the Sport name
lives on in the 2021 G80, it will be shown with the 3.5T engine performance and
a possible appearance package upgrade.
2021 Genesis G80 Interior Amenities & Design
The luxury-minded 2021 Genesis G80 interior showcases an
upscale cabin complete with an elegant design. There are many desirable
features to choose from inside this sedan, including a 12.3-inch 3D digital
gauge, a head-up display, ambient lighting, plus heated and ventilated front
and rear seating. There is also a humongous 14.5-inch touch screen, as well as
standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

2021 Genesis G80 Performance & Powertrain
With the Genesis G80 redesign, you will find two engine
options instead of three. The standard model features a 300-horsepower
2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder, while the higher-powered option has a
375-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine instead. Both of these
come with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and your choice of rear- or
all-wheel-drive.
2021 Genesis G80 MPG Ratings
There are no EPA estimates yet on the fuel economy for the
2021 G80, and the engines are updated, so we can't go off of last year's
numbers. The standard engine for the 2020 G80 was a 3.8L V6 achieving an mpg
rating of 18 city/26 hwy. The 2021 G80 has a 2.5L i-4 engine that should
produce better fuel economy numbers. 4-cylinder engines usually have better mpg
ratings than V6 engines.

2021 vs. 2020 Genesis G80: Redesign & Changes
The 2021 Genesis G80 starts a new generation, bringing with
it many changes. Not only have the engines been updated, but there are many
styling differences from the previous year. As the G80 enters the
third-generation, this Genesis sedan shares the powertrains and platform of the
new GV80 SUV. The 2021 G80 features a massive grille and unique exterior
lighting.
2021 Genesis G80 Exterior Dimensions & Design
The updated G80 rides on the same 118.5-inch wheelbase as
the previous model, but this version is slightly wider and sits lower than the
2020 G80. These updates to 2021 Genesis G80 also offer a more significant
presence than the previous model year. Additionally, there is a twin-bar light
theme that carries from the fender vents to the front wheels and around the
rear LED taillights. Initial reports suggest that the new Genesis should come
with your choice of ten exterior color options. We also expect it to be
available with your selection of either 18- or 19-inch tires.
2021 Genesis G80 Safety, Reviews, & Ratings
The 2021 Genesis G80 comes with a long list of driver-assist technology. Some of these include automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring. Additionally, it will offer Smart Park, which also comes with some Hyundai models. This unique system allows drivers to maneuver the vehicle into tight parking spots without being behind the wheel. There are no safety ratings on the new Genesis sedan yet, but we expect it to fare well.
As far as automotive enthusiasts are concerned, the Genesis
G80 reviews couldn't be any better. Car and Driver calls it a
"rolling beauty." When KBB asked if the
Genesis G80 is a good luxury car, the response was, "the G80 offers
technology and comfort on par with its rivals at a low cost." It seems
that this luxury sedan couldn't impress judges any more than it already has.

However, the 2020 Genesis G80 3.3T Sport flaunts a redesigned front grille/bumper (first seen in 2019) showing a honeycomb, chain-link design with sharper, more aggressive edges making the new G80 Sport stand out from any luxury car in its class.
