The 2025 Genesis G80 is a true luxury sedan
Even more than its chief Japanese rival, the Lexus ES, the Genesis G80 is a midsize luxury sedan that truly delivers. Where the ES might not deliver looks to please everyone, the Genesis has the composure that makes you mutter “Bentley” under your breath. It comes with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 300 horsepower, but the better option is the optional twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6, which runs with the effortlessness of good Kentucky bourbon and delivers a mighty 375 horsepower. An eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive come standard with either powerplant.
The G80 knows that its mission is ride comfort and quiet cruising, and it’s delivered with enough grace and certainty that you’re reminded why the civilized among us buy luxury sedans in the first place. For September, the G80 is offered with a lease that’s sure to lure you into the Genesis showroom.

Final thoughts
Luxury without indulgence is merely austerity with leather seats. The Genesis G80 reminds us that the best character in a luxury sedan is not aggression, but composure, not ferocity but poise.
