The all-new Genesis G80 made its digital world premiere today! The vehicle represents both the third generation of brand’s exclusive sedan and a decade of mid-luxury leadership from Genesis’s parent company.

Exterior design

As always, brand’s “Athletic Elegance” design concept is incorporated and a striking balance between aggressiveness and elegance is achieved – new G80 is characterized by the perfect balance and the overall expressive stance.

The front view embodies a distinguishable contemporary look, featuring the Crest Grill and double-lined Quad Lamp signature design elements, while the two-line graphics extend beyond the headlamps into the rear fenders and the taillamps, encompassing all sides of the vehicle.

The sides are inspired by the elegant look of the aesthetics of the classic cars and feature a Parabolic Line, which begins at the front Quad Lamp and runs lower to the rear through the top of the door. This elegant line is counter-balance by athletic power lines emphasizing the fender volume and the upfitted 20-inch wheels.

At the rear we see a dramatic and tapered look – highlighted by a sloping decklid and rear Quad Lamps that visually link to those at the front. Chrome décor at the top of the trunk stretches the full-width repeating the idea of the Genesis emblem, while the dual exhaust finishes reference the Crest Grill design.

Interior design

The cabin responds to the changing times where technology and information is no longer considered a luxury experience, but a standard feature. Based on the “Beauty of White Space” idea, inspired by the traditional Korean Architecture, priority is placed on the balance of personal space and state-of-the-art technology.

Visibility is enhanced by minimizing A-pillar thickness and rearview mirror dimensions, utilizing flag type side mirrors and reducing dashboard height. The result, the panoramic view, gives the driver a relaxed view of the road ahead and the sense of openness. This achievement was made possible, thanks to the minimizing A-pillar thickness and rearview mirror dimensions, utilizing flag type side mirrors and reducing dashboard height.

Genesis has unveiled the all-new G80 to its online audience via a series of design renderings. The latest lineup member is the third-generation model which leads Genesis in the luxury market as a mid-sized exclusive luxury sedan.

As expected, the vehicle adopts “Athletic Elegance” design language. This design concept allows variations in style and striking a well-considered balance between the two opposing characteristics – Athleticism and Elegance. The all-new G80 is the core of the Genesis model lineup and offers a unique interpretation of the midsize luxury sedan.

In detail, the Crest Grille and the two lines of the Quadlamps circumventing all sides of the vehicle are signature design elements of the brand, first introduced with the unveiling of the GV80 and now being present in the new G80.

The sides showcase a long sweeping Parabolic Line from front to rear flowing gently downwards, boosting the elegance of the vehicle, while the upswept chrome line maintains direction posture, which counterbalances the smooth lines. The sharp athletic power lines of the front and rear fenders are further emphasized by the large 20-inch exclusive wheels.

At the rear, the vehicle showcase neat Quadlamps and the horseshoe-shaped negative surface of the decklid. The trunk release button and surrounding chrome mimics the shape of the Genesis logo and contributes to that overall appealing design elegance.

As it comes to interior styling, the dashboard is deconstructed to an expansive open space featuring a widescreen 14.5-inch infotainment screen. Also, the slim air conditioning vest visually stretches the width of the cabin. There are also some exclusive components – thicker A-pillars and the size of the rearview mirror that altogether ensures a comfortable and relaxed panoramic view.
