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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 76.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 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. That was a pleasant surprise considering the four-cylinder G80 2.5T is rated at 23 mpg combined.

What Genesis G80 do most buyers choose?

The Genesis G80 years with the most listings are 2018, 2019, and 2025.

What is the Genesis G80's resale value?

Most model years are moving lower year over year, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used.

That pattern suggests you may find stronger value on recent used examples than you would on a brand-new purchase.

The 2017, 2018, and 2021 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Genesis G80 now or wait for the next model?

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The G80 3.5T’s twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 is a satisfying engine. It generates a robust 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque—increases of 75 hp and 80 lb-ft over the G80 2.5T’s 2.5-liter turbo-four. Both engines employ a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission, and the G80 has standard all-wheel drive (AWD).
• Tech: Genesis includes three years of complimentary connected services, five years of navigation map updates, and three-month trial subscriptions to a Wi-Fi hotspot and SiriusXM satellite radio. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and the G80 supports saved driver profiles, a fingerprint authentication system, and digital key technology that turns a smartphone into the key.
• Safety: The G80 3.5T adds a standard head-up display with a 12-inch image projection. It communicates plenty of information, and also shows when other vehicles are in the car’s blind spots. The G80 can also alert drivers when the stopped traffic ahead is once again on the move.
• 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 the next model year's inventory to build up.
