2023 GENESIS ELECTRIFIED G80 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Genesis Electrified G80 is presented as a compelling luxury electric sedan, with reviewers appreciating its elegant design, refined interior materials, and quiet operation. The car is noted for its comfortable ride, especially after spending a week with it, and its impressive build quality with no creaks or rattles even after significant mileage. Positives include the spacious interior (though seating position is a recurring critique), the smooth and quiet driving experience, and the overall classy aesthetic. However, the high price point (around $81,500) is a significant hurdle, especially when compared to the gasoline G80 or more performance-oriented EVs like the BMW i4 M50. Criticisms include the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto (though a workaround is mentioned), the somewhat uninspiring Lexicon sound system due to battery placement affecting subwoofers, and the sometimes overly sensitive and numerous audible alerts. The steering feel is also debated, with one reviewer finding it heavy and mushy, while the other acknowledges its quickness and sportiness. Despite these drawbacks, the overall sentiment is that the Electrified G80 is an underrated and sophisticated choice for those seeking a unique luxury EV.
