2023 GENESIS ELECTRIFIED G80 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Genesis Electrified G80 is presented as a compelling, albeit niche, entry into the luxury electric sedan market. The reviewer highlights its striking design, blending athleticism and elegance with signature Genesis styling cues like the quad lamps and crest grille. Key strengths include a powerful 365 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque from its dual-motor AWD setup, enabling a brisk 0-60 mph time of 4.2 seconds. The 87.2 kWh battery offers a respectable EPA range of 282 miles (454 km), with the reviewer noting real-world observations suggesting it can achieve closer to 500 km in warm conditions. Charging is also a strong point, supporting up to 350 kW DC fast charging for a 10-80% charge in approximately 22 minutes. The interior is praised for its luxury feel, quiet cabin with active noise cancellation, and a well-integrated infotainment system. However, the reviewer notes that the platform, adapted from the ICE G80, results in a slightly higher floor and reduced interior headroom, potentially an issue for taller occupants. The lack of pricing at the time of filming is a significant unknown, though estimates place it around $75,000 USD. Overall, it's recommended as a comfortable, quiet, and capable luxury EV, offering a strong alternative to more established players, provided the final pricing is competitive.
