What Owners are Saying About the 2026 Genesis G80
"Car of My Dreams"
"This car is an unbelievable value. I have a 3.5L Twin Turbo with AWD and the Prestige package (I highly recommend the Prestige package due to the Heads Up display and several other luxury options included). The owners manual leaves a lot to be desired. It is hard to find explanations of the numerous features. For example, I have two buttons, cryptically labeled, on the overhead panel where the dome light and sunroof controls reside. I cannot find the difference between the two buttons in the owners manual. Both light the dome light but I cannot figure out why there are two buttons for the light. That is just an example - the manual must have been translated from Korean, and poorly at that. Ride is smooth as silk, with windows closed a boom box next to my car is silent, acceleration is remarkable for a car as heavy as this. Gas mileage is terrible though. Around town, I get 16 mpg with a light foot. On the road, I get around 19 mpg. Wondering if there is something wrong with my fuel delivery system. Have not asked Genesis for valet pickup and drop-off of my car for service but based on comments in the G80 blog, dealers are reluctant to deliver on the promised service, not to mention they say loaner cars are not available."
"Best 4 door sedan for the money on the market"
"Highly recommend the vehicle. I get so many compliments on the looks and very few people have the vehicle so it really stands out."
"loving it"
"Took delivery about a week and a half ago. This is my fourth genesis, 2012/2015/2018 g80 sport htrac, The new one 2021 g80,3.5 twin turbo v6,AWD,prestige. I think that the change is more revolutionary than evolutionary. This thing is a pleasure to drive. Highly recommend. Huge value for dollar spent. The issue is the dealerships. Genesis is a luxury car being sold in not so luxury environment."
