Genesis Electrified G80 AWD

Overview

The 2025 Genesis Electrified G80 is a stunning all-electric luxury sedan that poses a serious threat to established rivals from Germany and California. This AWD model blends jaw-dropping design with a truly opulent interior and potent, silent performance. Positioned as a sophisticated grand tourer, its key selling point is the advanced 800V architecture, enabling some of the fastest charging speeds on the market. While official 2025 pricing is pending, it’s expected to start competitively in the luxury EV space, offering incredible value for its feature set and head-turning presence.

What's New for 2025?

For 2025, the Electrified G80 receives a slick mid-cycle refresh, elevating its tech and style game. The biggest news is inside, where a massive 27-inch OLED screen now seamlessly integrates the driver’s display and central infotainment. Outside, the front end gets a makeover with a new, more intricate G-Matrix patterned grille and a redesigned bumper for a sharper look. New wheel designs are also on the menu, keeping the G80 looking fresh and modern against its competitors, ensuring this electric executive express remains at the top of its class.

Design & Exterior

The G80’s "Athletic Elegance" design is on full display, featuring Genesis’s signature two-line LED headlights and a revised Crest Grille with a slick hidden charging port. It’s a long, low, and wide sedan, measuring an impressive 202.2 inches in length, 75.8 inches in width, and 58.3 inches in height. The sleek, coupe-like roofline gives it a dynamic profile that looks fast even when standing still. This AWD version maintains the clean, uncluttered aesthetic, proving that you don’t need to shout to make a powerful statement on the road.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside, and you’re greeted by a cabin dripping with luxury, featuring high-quality materials and impeccable build quality. The star of the 2025 update is the brilliant 27-inch OLED display, which handles both instruments and infotainment with stunning clarity, including standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Passenger space is generous for five adults. However, practicality takes a slight hit; the trunk offers a modest 12.5 cubic feet of space, and there is no frunk. The rear seats also don't fold, limiting its ultimate cargo-hauling ability for larger items.

Performance & Driving Experience

This thing is deceptively quick. The dual-motor AWD setup, powered by front and rear Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors, delivers a combined 365 horsepower and a hefty 516 lb-ft of torque. That's enough to launch this luxury liner from 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 140 mph. On the road, it prioritizes serene comfort over racetrack agility, gliding over bumps with a supple and controlled ride. The 'i-Pedal' setting allows for smooth one-pedal driving, making city commutes an absolute breeze.

Range, Battery & Charging

The Electrified G80 is a charging champion thanks to its 800V architecture. It packs a 90 kWh usable battery pack, which Green Cars Compare calculates will deliver a real-world range of about 301 miles. Efficiency is solid at 3.34 mi/kWh. At home, the standard 10.9 kW on-board charger can top it up overnight. Find a 350 kW DC fast charger, and you can blast from 10-80% in around 22 minutes via its CCS Type 1 port. It also features standard Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability to power external devices.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

While the 2025 EV hasn't been specifically rated by NHTSA, it's built on the gas-powered G80 platform, a perennial IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Genesis doesn't skimp on safety tech; it comes loaded with a comprehensive suite of driver aids. The fantastic Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2) is standard, providing semi-autonomous driving with adaptive cruise control, lane-centering, and automated lane-change assistance. Standard features also include forward collision avoidance, blind-spot monitoring with in-cluster camera feeds, and rear cross-traffic alert, making it a fortress of safety.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Genesis offers one of the best ownership packages in the business, giving you serious peace of mind. The G80 is covered by a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and an outstanding 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. The EV battery is also covered for 10 years/100,000 miles, guaranteeing against significant degradation. To top it off, Genesis includes 3 years/36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance, complete with their signature valet service that picks up your car for you. Now that's luxury service!
