UPDATE 8/15/24: Genesis released pricing and U.S. specs for the updated 2025 G80. It starts at $58,350 for the all-wheel-drive 2.5T and rises to $63,150 for the 2.5T Advanced and $69,600 for the 2.5T Sport Prestige. The V-6–powered 3.5T model starts at $70,850 for the 3.5T Sport Advanced and $78,250 for the 3.5T Sport Prestige. These prices are up between $2700 and $4400 depending on trim level. We’ve also update this story to include more U.S.-specific details about changes for 2025.
The Genesis G80 sedan is following its SUV sibling, the GV80, into the 2025 model year with a similar refresh. The revised front end and new wheel designs make it look slightly different on the outside, but the bigger changes are found inside, where a new screen and dashboard design modernize the cabin considerably.
The exterior changes amount to small tweaks to the grille, headlights, front and rear bumpers, and wheel designs. There’s also a new color called Vatna Gray. The G80 Sport trim level, pictured below in red, continues and features a different grille texture plus a more aggressive-looking front bumper with additional air intakes.
Inside, the huge new 27.0-inch OLED screen now dominates two-thirds of the dashboard. It combines the digital gauge cluster and the central display and looks to have crisp graphics. There are still two rotary knobs on the center console, one for the infotainment system and the other serving as a gear shifter. The climate controls now utilize a new layout with a touch-sensitive interface, though it looks like a few hard knobs and buttons remain.
There aren’t significant changes to the G80’s two powertrains, which include a turbo 2.5-liter inline-four and a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6. Genesis also says the 2025 G80 now has standard four-piston front brake calipers and new wheel designs. The electric version, called the Electrified G80, will likely receive similar updates later on.
Look for the 2025 G80 to go on sale in the U.S. within the next few weeks.
