2021 Genesis G80 will go on sale this summer.Rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are available.The G80 has a generous array of standard features.Genesis recently announced pricing for its all-new, third-generation G80 luxury sedan. And boy oh boy, we’re betting the established marquee is having sleepless nights with the G80’s value for money proposition. The 2021 Genesis G80, like the larger G90, is the perfect meal for buyers craving affordable luxury.
“The all-new G80 midsize luxury sedan is a perfect blend of seamless elegance and athletic brilliance,” said Mark Del Rosso, President and CEO, Genesis Motor North America. “And with a robust suite of complimentary services, the all-new G80 offers an ownership experience unmatched by any midsize luxury sedan in its segment.”
How Much Is The 2021 Genesis G80?You have to remember the 2021 Genesis G80 is meant to bang heads with the also-new Mercedes E-Class and refreshed BMW 5-Series. But in our books, the new G80 is heading right smack into Audi A7 territory, especially considering both vehicles have similar design philosophies – yes, we’re talking about the sweeping roofline and coupe-like profile.
The new G80 is available with two engines in either a rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) configuration. The base G80 with a 2.5-liter turbo four-cylinder and RWD starts at $47,700. Meanwhile, the 2.5-liter AWD has a base price of $50,850. From any angle, a standard G80 is more affordable than an equivalent German sedan, but the bargain price is only the tip of the iceberg.

In the 2.5-liter G80, this means larger 20-inch wheels, a Lexicon premium audio system, a panoramic moonroof, matte wood trim, a set of rear sunshades, power trunk, and a tri-zone climate control system. The Prestige ($56,600 for RWD and $59,150 for AWD) adds leather, power closing doors, wireless charging, a surround-view monitor, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel.
