The Genesis Electrified G80 is discontinued for the 2026 model year, but the gas-powered version of the mid-size luxury sedan is sticking around. Along with the GV80 SUV and full-size G90 sedan, the G80 gets a new Prestige Black trim level that, as its name implies, features black exterior and interior trim. The mid-range 3.5T Sport Advanced trim level is also gone for 2026, but other than a few minor interior upgrades such as a more widely available wireless phone charger, the rest of the G80 family carries over. The 2026 G80 starts at $59,945 (all prices include $1,495 destination charge).

Trim Levels
Competing against luxury sedan mainstays like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series, the G80 comes well equipped from the start. Standard features on the entry-level 2.5T include 18-inch wheels, LED exterior lighting, keyless entry and start, rain-sensing windshield wipers and a power trunk lid. The cabin boasts synthetic leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel with a power tilt-and-telescoping column, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a 27-inch display that combines the digital gauge cluster and infotainment touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a nine-speaker stereo are also standard.
Standard safety technologies on the 2026 G80 include forward collision warning with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-centering steering, blind spot steering assist, front and rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, front and rear parking sensors, emergency steering assist and a driver attention monitor.
Stepping up to the 2.5T Advanced nets buyers 19-inch wheels, a panoramic moonroof, a hands-free power trunk lid, genuine leather, ventilated front seats and a Bang & Olufsen audio system.
The 2.5T Sport Prestige adds Genesis’s Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview, which uses a camera to scan the road ahead and can adjust the suspension at each wheel individually to prepare for upcoming bumps and potholes. It also gets 20-inch wheels, dark-chrome exterior trim, adjustable thigh support and side bolsters for the driver’s seat, a massaging driver’s seat and wireless phone charging. The Sport Prestige trim levels add a 360-degree parking camera with blind spot cameras and automated parking.
In addition to a more powerful engine and everything from the 2.5T Sport Prestige, the 3.5T Sport Prestige includes a head-up display, an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, rear-wheel steering, Nappa leather and a heated center-console armrest for front occupants. The 3.5T Prestige Black features all of the same content but with black exterior and interior trim.
