Genesis G80 Electrified at a glance
Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.
Introduced at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, the Genesis G80 Electrified is a midsize executive sedan that brings electric power to the brand's luxury lineup. Genesis chose to integrate the electric drivetrain into the existing G80 design rather than building a dedicated EV platform. The car employs a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive configuration that delivers instant torque and competitive acceleration compared to its gasoline-powered siblings. To optimize energy efficiency, the vehicle can automatically disconnect one of the motors when all-wheel drive is unnecessary. This sedan is positioned for executive car shoppers looking for a premium, quiet ride with zero local emissions, combining traditional sedan aesthetics with modern charging technology.
- Power: 370 hp
- Transmissions: single-speed reduction gear

Genesis G80 Electrified overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
Externally, the G80 Electrified retains the overall shape of the standard G80 sedan but features subtle changes to highlight its electric nature. The signature Crest Grille is solid rather than open, and it houses a concealed charging port. The front and rear bumpers have been redesigned, with the rear bumper losing the traditional exhaust outlets. Additionally, the roof is fitted with integrated solar panels to assist in generating auxiliary power.
Interior
The cabin mirrors the layout of the standard G80 but emphasizes sustainability through the choice of materials. The leather upholstery is treated with natural dyes, and the wood trim is sourced from recycled wood waste from furniture production. A unique two-tone dark green and white interior palette is available. The digital dashboard consists of a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 14.5-inch widescreen infotainment display. For cabin comfort, an active road noise control system uses four sensors and six microphones to monitor road noise and cancel it out using out-of-phase sound waves.
Performance
The vehicle is powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, producing a combined output of 370 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque. This setup allows the sedan to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. An 87.2 kWh battery pack provides a range of approximately 427 kilometers under the Korean certification system. The car features a dual 400V/800V charging system, allowing it to charge from 10% to 80% in 22 minutes using a 350 kW fast charger.
Practicality
As a traditional three-box sedan, the G80 Electrified offers standard executive-class space, though battery placement may slightly impact overall packaging compared to the standard model. It features a five-seat layout with comfortable passenger accommodations. A notable practical feature is its Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability, which allows the car to supply up to 3.6 kW of electricity to power external electrical appliances directly from the vehicle's battery.
Safety and tech
Technology is a major focus, highlighted by the 14.5-inch infotainment display and the 12.3-inch driver cluster. The active noise-canceling system contributes to safety by reducing driver fatigue on long journeys. The car's high-voltage charging architecture supports both 400V and 800V charging infrastructures, utilizing an onboard transformer to ensure compatibility with different charging stations without requiring extra adapters.
Buyer notes
Buyers comparing the Electrified G80 to standard models should note that it comes exclusively as an all-wheel-drive, dual-motor vehicle with a single battery capacity. Features like the solar roof and Vehicle-to-Load capability are standard identifiers for this variant. Given the unique electric vehicle architecture, interior cargo space and passenger headroom might differ slightly from the gasoline variants. As with most luxury imports, standard equipment levels and specific tech availability can vary depending on the destination market.
