The 2026 Genesis G80 stands as the brand's midsize luxury sedan, slotting between the compact Genesis G70 and the flagship Genesis G90. Built on an advanced platform that utilizes 19 percent aluminum construction to save 243 pounds compared to its predecessor, the 2026 G80 showcases Genesis' commitment to modern engineering.


New For 2026 Genesis G80

The 2026 model year brings focused refinements to the Genesis G80 following its comprehensive 2025 update. Genesis has added two stunning exterior colors to the palette: Vatna Gray and Ceres Blue. This expands the total color offerings to eight choices. The 2026 Genesis G80 lineup also features redesigned 19-inch sporty wheels that add a more dynamic visual presence. Following customer feedback, Genesis has made the Ergo Motion driver's seat standard across the lineup. The rear badging receives a cleaner, more modern treatment with all lettering removed except for the Genesis wordmark emblem. The trim structure has been simplified as well, with the 3.5 Sport Advanced trim discontinued from the previous year's offerings. Additionally, a new Genesis G80 Black variant has been introduced in select markets, featuring comprehensive monochrome styling both inside and out with exclusive quilted Nappa leather upholstery, open-pore black ash wood trim, and special G80 Black animations on the display screens.


Performance

Under the hood, the 2026 Genesis G80 offers two powerfully capable engine options. The base 2.5T models feature a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that produces 300 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 311 pound-feet of torque at 1,650 rpm. For drivers seeking more exhilarating performance, the 3.5T models utilize a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that generates an impressive 375 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 391 pound-feet of torque starting at just 1,300 rpm. Both engines pair exclusively with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission featuring steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and multiple drive modes including Comfort, Sport, and a customizable My mode. The all-wheel drive system ensures confident traction and stability in diverse driving conditions. Available rear-wheel steering enhances maneuverability at low speeds for easier parking and U-turns while improving high-speed stability during cornering.


MPG

Fuel economy figures for the 2026 Genesis G80 reflect the expected performance from its powerful turbocharged engines. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine achieves EPA-estimated ratings of 20 miles per gallon in city driving and 29 mpg on the highway. The more powerful 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 returns EPA estimates of 15 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, which is typical for a performance-oriented luxury sedan in this class.


Top Speed

The responsive 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-four engine delivers spirited acceleration, achieving the zero to 60 mph sprint in approximately 5.7 to 5.9 seconds depending on trim configuration. The potent 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 powerplant propels the 2026 Genesis G80 from zero to 60 mph in just 5.0 to 5.1 seconds, with launch control available on Sport Prestige models shaving the time to 4.9 seconds. 


Interior

The 2026 Genesis G80 cabin showcases Genesis' "Beauty of White Space" design philosophy. They do so by creating a horizontal dashboard layout that feels both spacious and elegantly simple. Premium materials abound throughout, including available Nappa leather seating surfaces with quilted patterns and contrasting piping that exude handcrafted sophistication. The seats themselves offer extensive adjustability with heating, ventilation, and massage functions available on higher trims. The driver benefits from the Ergo Motion driver's seat, now standard across the lineup, which features seven air cells that provide optimal driving posture based on the selected drive mode. The 2026 Genesis G80 provides 13 cubic feet of trunk volume for cargo needs. Ambient interior lighting allows drivers to customize the cabin atmosphere, while available three-zone automatic climate control ensures everyone stays comfortable. Lastly, Genesis offers multiple interior color combinations, including striking two-tone options.


Technology

The 2026 Genesis G80 serves as a technology showcase with its stunning unified 27-inch integrated OLED display. It seamlessly combines the digital instrument cluster and navigation/infotainment system into one continuous curved screen. A high-resolution Head-Up Display projects critical vehicle data including speed, navigation directions, and safety system information onto the windshield as a 12-inch image projection. The 2026 Genesis G80 includes Genesis Digital Key 2 technology, enabling owners to lock, unlock, and start the vehicle using their smartphone. Available Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 can intelligently park the G80 in diagonal, perpendicular, or parallel spots with the press and hold of a button. For rear-seat passengers, select models offer a 14.6-inch dual monitor system with independent audio and video playback on each side, allowing everyone to enjoy personalized entertainment.
