Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryKorean conglomerate Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) understands that some people don’t want an SUV, or a cold, technical, German sports sedan. That’s why HMG’s Genesis brand still offers three sizes of luxury sedans, with the G80 serving as the midsize model. Available with a turbocharged four- or six-cylinder engine in several trim levels, the 2026 G80 reeks of old-school elegance in the very best way. Verdict: Quick, confident, and calming, the Genesis G80 is a refreshingly authentic luxury car that’s not trying to be something else. It lacks a badge that conveys success, but buyers can let the opulent styling and sumptuous interior do all the talking. | |
