0Genesis G80 Facelift Shown With More Details To Come At Launch
Unveiling the new Genesis G80 and G80 Sport, building on the 3rd generation model’s strengths.
Genesis, the epitome of automotive luxury, has once again raised the bar with the unveiling of its redesigned G80 luxury sedan. This marks a significant milestone as the first model change in nearly four years since the debut of its third generation in March 2020.
Athletic Elegance Redefined: Exterior Upgrades
The G80 showcases a fusion of sophistication and innovation, embodying Genesis’ design philosophy of “Athletic Elegance.” The dual-mesh design gracing the Two-Line Crest Grille on the front sets the tone for a sleek and sophisticated look. Complementing this is the iconic Two-Line headlamp, featuring cutting-edge Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology, showcasing Genesis’ commitment to seamlessly blending advanced technology with timeless design.
The 20-inch five double-spoke wheel design not only contributes to a dynamic aesthetic reminiscent of an aircraft propeller but also perfectly aligns with the parabolic line of the sedan’s side profile. Rear diffusers with hidden mufflers sport a distinctive V-shape chrome trim, reflecting an eco-friendly aspect in the era of electrification.
The Beauty of White Space: Interior Innovation
Stepping inside, the interior of the G80 maintains Genesis’ design ethos by embracing the uniquely Korean concept of the Beauty of White Space. The 27-inch-wide OLED display seamlessly integrates the cluster and the AVN (Audio, Video, Navigation) screen, creating a visually stunning and technologically advanced cockpit. The touch-based HVAC system adds a layer of convenience, ensuring drivers have effortless control at their fingertips.
The crystal-like Shift By Wire (SBW) has been meticulously redesigned to offer a comfortable grip, adding a touch of luxury to the driving experience. The blend of cutting-edge technology and sophisticated design creates an ambiance that is truly unparalleled.
Introducing the G80 Sport: Dynamic Design Elements
Genesis doesn’t stop at perfection; it evolves it with the introduction of the G80 Sport. Differentiated by dynamic design elements, the G80 Sport boasts a reinforced Crest Grille with a double-layered G-Matrix pattern and expanded air intakes, contributing to its high-performance image.
The redesigned bumper and diffusers exude sportiness, accentuated by black garnish hugging the rear end, highlighting the dynamic look of this sport sedan. Exclusive interior packages, including a D-cut steering wheel and carbon garnish options in red or silver, elevate the driving experience to new heights.
A Palette of Choices: Colors and Customization
Both the G80 and G80 Sport are available in a stunning array of 10 exterior colors, including the newly added Brooklyn Brown. With four interior color options, Genesis ensures that drivers can personalize their luxury sedan to match their unique style.
As the official launch date approaches, Genesis promises to reveal more detailed specifications, building anticipation for a new era of automotive excellence. The G80 and G80 Sport stand as a testament to Genesis’ unwavering commitment to innovation, luxury, and a driving experience like no other.
