The Genesis G80 competes with luxury sedans from all over the world but is a steal when it comes to price!  Refined, elegant, and unmatched comfort are just a handful of the words and phrases that consumers have used to describe the Genesis G80.  This quick read will give you an overview of the Genesis G80 and its ample amount of extra features with a quick comparison to it’s luxury car competitors.    

 

Feel

 

Being desert dwellers, odds are that you have a lengthier daily commute, and if you don’t, maybe you are planning that post-quarantine road trip.   Driving the Genesis G80 on the less than perfect roads in Victorville helps you to quickly understand how luxurious this car is.  Though the bumps and potholes of the road are visually present, the smooth ride of the Genesis G80 masks them with ease.  

 

It has a regular unleaded V6 engine meaning- you won’t have to pay premium gas prices to drive your premium car.  The interior is luxurious with soft Napa leather that hugs your body and won’t burn your legs thanks to the ventilated seats that offer over the top comfort during those California heat waves.   The front and back seats are spacious with legroom for even your absurdly tall 6’5’’ friend.  

 

The Genesis G80 is exactly what you could imagine riding on a cloud would feel like.    
 

  

 

Safety

 

The Genesis G80 is the winner of the IIHS Safety Award for meeting criteria in how well the vehicle protects its occupants in the unfortunate event of a crash, and technology that can prevent a crash or lessen its severity.  The car has several safety features that will make you feel like it came straight from Stark Industries possibly built by Ironman himself:

 

• Lane keep assist: should you ever decide to drive with your hands off the wheel (not recommended) the Genesis G80 will keep you driving in the center of your chosen lane. 

• Smart cruise control with start and stop: there is a barely visible sensor on the nose of the vehicle that is responsible for detecting the distance to the car ahead of you and assisting in maintaining speed and distance.  Even after stopping, the G80 will reengage your previous smart cruise settings.  

• Driver attention alert: the systems within the car analyze your driving patterns and can alert you to when your attention may be waning and quick power nap is in order.  

 

The Genesis G80 has several more safety features that will make it feel like the car is built to watch over you. 

 

Gas Mileage

 

An overall combined 22 mpg with the split of 18 mpg city and 26 mpg hwy, fuel efficiency is not something that the G80 touts on its resume.  The thrill of the G80 is in it’s smooth ride, luxurious interior design, and user friendly infotainment center that enhances your driving experience versus overwhelming you with too many buttons to push.

 

Infotainment

 

All 2020 Genesis G80s come standard with an 8inch touch screen infotainment center.  It has both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.  Navigation comes standard so you can always know exactly where you are going.  This system is not only easy to learn but easy to use daily.  It is highly responsive and has straight forward controls.  Overwhelm or screen fatigue is not something that you will be met with when using your touch screen infotainment center. 

 

HIGHLIGHTED FEATURE: You have the ability to set your cell phone into the center console charging station for plug free charging!
