What should I look for when buying a used Genesis G80?

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Highway Driving Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist, and lane-change assist technologies.
• Infotainment: a 27-inch OLED display that houses the digital instrumentation panel and infotainment touchscreen, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Fuel efficiency: According to the EPA, the 3.5T should average 18 mpg in combined driving, which is not impressive. However, on our relatively flat Southern California fuel-economy observation route, which has a 50:50 mix of city and highway driving, the test car averaged 22.8 mpg. Later, when driven with more enthusiasm on our mountainous evaluation loop, the G80 3.5T returned 20.6 mpg, with an 18.7 mpg result for the city portion.

• Starting price: Base prices range from $59,945 to $81,495, including the $1,495 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2018 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2028 inventory to mature.
