Used 2021 Genesis G80 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Genesis G80 is available in two trim levels that depend on the engine selected. The G80 2.5T is powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (300 horsepower, 311 lb-ft) and the G80 3.5T uses a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 (375 horsepower, 391 lb-ft). Both engines use an eight-speed automatic transmission and can be optioned with all-wheel drive. Highlighted standard features include:

The Genesis G80 also comes with a host of standard safety features, such as:

  • Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Evasive steering assist (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

    • 19-inch wheels
    • Hands-free power trunk opener
    • Ventilated front seats

    • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the G80 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
    • Blind-spot camera (displays an image of the vehicle's blind spot in the instrument panel when you activate a turn signal)
    • Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
    • Remote automated parking system (pulls in or out of a parking spot via remote control from the key fob)

G80 3.5T
Compared to the base 2.5T, the 3.5T has the more powerful V6 as well as:

  • Contents of the Advanced package
  • Leather seating surfaces
  • Soft-close doors (catch as they're being closed and gently pull shut)
  • Wireless device charger

One package is available for the G80 3.5T:

  • Prestige package
    • Features from the 2.5T's Prestige package that otherwise weren't standard on the 3.5T
    • 20-inch wheels
    • Upgraded leather seating surfaces
    • Microfiber suede headliner
    • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
    • Digital gauge cluster

Which G80 trim does Edmunds recommend?

For the full luxury sedan experience, we'd opt for the G80 3.5T for its more powerful engine and greater number of standard features. To that, we'd add the Prestige package for its impressive array of features. You may want to opt for all-wheel drive if you live in an area with inclement weather.
