Exploring the Genesis G80 Configurations

Genesis G80 2.5T Advanced AWD: Effortless Efficiency and City Sophistication

The Genesis G80 2.5T Advanced AWD offers an exquisite balance of responsive power and daily practical luxury. Powered by an advanced 2.5L Turbocharged Inline 4-cylinder engine, it delivers an authoritative 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque channeled through a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission.

Key Standard Highlights

• Active safety suite: Drivers benefit from a comprehensive driver assistance suite, including Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist II. ‍
• Premium tactile switchgear: Precision-engineered metallic dials and glass-like controls are designed to deliver a smooth, satisfying feel and intuitive touch. ‍
• Real aluminum trim: Genuine metallic accents are meticulously crafted to deliver a clean, contemporary aesthetic and premium finish throughout the cabin.  ‍

Genesis G80 3.5T Sport AWD: Dynamic Power and Commanding Agility

For drivers seeking elevated responsiveness, the G80 3.5T Sport AWD introduces a high-performance 3.5L Twin-Turbocharged V6 engine producing 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. The Rear Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (e-LSD) actively distributes torque between the rear wheels to maximize grip out of corners, and the upgraded Sport+ mode is an added track-focused drive setting for an advanced performance capability.  

Key Standard Highlights

• Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS) with Road Preview: This system utilizes front-facing camera optics to scan the road ahead for potholes and speed bumps, adjusting damper stiffness in real time for an ultra-smooth ride.
• ‍Sport styling: The exterior highlights dynamic dark chrome accents, expanded front air intakes, dual exhaust tips, and 20-inch dark alloy wheels. ‍
• Ergo motion driver’s seat: Integrated pneumatic air cells within the driver's seat dynamically adjust to contour to your posture and reduce fatigue during long coastal road trips.  ‍

Navigating West Coast Conditions with Total Confidence

Living in Metro Vancouver requires a vehicle capable of effortlessly adapting to shifting weather patterns and complex urban topology. The Genesis G80 is specifically engineered to meet these demands.

• Rain and all-weather control: With standard AWD, drivers can place their confidence in the road ahead without worrying about wet-surface grip along coastal routes. AWD provides unwavering traction during wet Pacific squalls along Stanley Park Drive or unexpected frosty highway conditions in the coastal mountain passes. ‍
• Available Remote Smart Parking Assist II (RSPA II) and Surround View Monitor (SVM): Downtown parking structures can present confined spatial constraints, but ultrasonic sensors that come included with Remote Smart Parking Assist II (RSPA II) ensure effortless maneuvering into compact subterranean parking stalls. Available  Surround View Monitor offers a 360-degree 3D overhead view around the vehicle, streaming a live blind-spot camera feed directly into the driver's digital gauge cluster.
• ‍Acoustic insulation: Standard laminated noise-reducing glass keeps the cabin undisturbed by outside city noise, heavy downpours, or highway road hum.
