Genesis has cut the starting price for the all-electric G80 Electrified in the U.S. thanks to the introduction of a new entry-level version dubbed the Advanced. The new version of the luxurious sedan is available for US$ 75,570, including a US$ 1,195 delivery fee. This represents a US$ 5,380 saving over the starting price of the 2023 model that was sold exclusively in Prestige guise. For 2024, the Prestige now represents the flagship model and it too has seen a price cut and now starts at US$ 80,320, representing a saving of US$ 630.
Both the Genesis G80 Advanced and Prestige
feature the same powertrain, consisting of an 87.2 kWh battery pack and a pair
of electric motors that deliver a combined 365 hp. The electric luxury sedan
can travel up to 454 km on a single charge. Among the key features
enjoyed by the G80 Advanced include heated and ventilated front seats, power front
seats with four-way lumbar adjustment, an 8-inch digital instrument cluster,
and a 14.5-inch infotainment screen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto. It is also equipped with leather across the seats, a leatherette-wrapped
upper instrument panel, and a set of 19-inch wheels.
Those who cough up the extra US$ 4,750 for
the G80 Electrified Prestige receive Nappa leather across the seats, a
surround-view monitor, a 12.3-inch 3D digital instrument cluster, and
three-zone climate control. While Genesis hasn’t revealed why it has cut
prices, it likely has something to do with the facelifted 2025 G80 just
debuting in Korea. The refreshed model looks largely identical to the outgoing
car but has received several upgrades, the most notable of which is a new
27-inch OLED display that combines the digital instrument cluster and
infotainment system into a single display, rather than the individual 12.3-inch
and 14.5-inch displays of the outgoing model.
