Genesis announced a series of small changes for the
2019 G80, which include the introduction of a new Sport Package for the
3.8-liter version as well as an upgraded infotainment system. The new 2019
Genesis G80 3.8 Sport Package is now sharing some of the design cues of the
3.3T model, including copper accents on the center wheel cap surrounds, more
aggressive front and rear bumpers and side sills, dark chrome detailing on the
grille and window trim, as well as dual exhaust tips. The exterior revisions
are completed by a set of 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in all-season tires.
The interior of the 2019 Genesis G80 3.8 Sport
Package gets a set of sport pedals and a sport steering wheel. The highlight
however is the upgraded 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto offered across the range. Genesis also offers a
bigger, 9.2-inch system as an option.
The 2019 Genesis G80 range continues to offer three
engine options: the base 3.8-liter V6, the twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6 and the
range-topping 5.0-liter V8. The new 3.8-liter Sport Package is offered with
rear- and all-wheel drive, and all models come fitted with an eight-speed
automatic transmission.
As you would expect from an executive sedan in this
class, the list of safety systems is quite long, with the 2019 G80 offering the
following as standard: Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection,
Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross-traffic Alert, Lane Keep Assist, Lane
Departure Warning, Smart Cruise Control with Stop/Start and more.
Pricing for the 2019 Genesis G80 in the base 3.8L
version starts from US$ 42,050 (excluding destination charges).
