Genesis reveals new Electrified G80 with more range, space, and style

Luxury automaker Genesis revealed the new Electrified G80 at the Busan International Mobility Show (BIMOS) on Thursday. The updated luxury EV features a bigger battery for more range. Meanwhile, Genesis touched up the design for a more classy and sophisticated look. Check it out below.

Three years after its global debut, the Genesis Electrifed G80 is due for an update. Genesis revealed the new model in Korea for the first time at BIMOS 2024.

The Electrified G80 was the brand’s first EV and answer to luxury rivals like the Tesla Model S. With the competition heating up, Genesis is already refreshing the midsize luxury electric sedan.

Genesis revealed the new model in Korea with several interior and exterior updates. It also gained a bigger battery for more range. One of the first things you will notice is the three-dimensional crest grille up front. Genesis also added MLA tech to its signature two-line headlamps.

The new model also includes a slightly redesigned bumper. Newly designed 19″ wheels are added to flow with Genesis’ iconic parabolic lines.

With a longer wheelbase, the new Genesis Electrified G80 includes a roomier second row. In addition, the 27″ display combines the cluster and infotainment into one.

Not a bad EV but Lucid gets 400 miles of range on a smaller battery. If this was in the 350+ mile range I'd be seriously considering it. Note, the biggest problem is that was not a ground up design so it's an ICE vehicle with EV motor meaning it doesn't get all the advangages of an EV and has some of the downsides of an ICE vehicle.

Even better, Genesis included reclining VIP seats with leg rests and a rear window curtain for privacy.

Powered by a larger battery pack (95.4 kWh vs 87.2 kWh), the new electric sedan can travel up to 295 miles (475 km) by Korean standards. In the US, it will likely add a few miles to its current EPA-estimated 282-mile range.

Genesis plans to launch the new Electrified G80 in Korea in August. It’s expected to launch across Europe and North America soon after.

The new model was displayed alongside its larger Neolun concept, previewing its first full-size electric SUV.
