The Genesis brand's tireless pursuit of perfection means that this is a world-class entry to the premium sector and the electric vehicle market.
Design - Athletic Elegance Elevated
Electrified G80 is the latest evolution of the brand's bold "Athletic Elegance" design philosophy, which is the result of close collaboration between Genesis Design studios located in South Korea, the United States and Germany. Integrating seamlessly into the existing G80 range, the Electrified G80 features bespoke design additions that reinforce its position as a leader in the sustainable luxury EV segment. Yet there are numerous neatly integrated functional elements that make Electrified G80 both more efficient and easier to live with.
"The Electrified G80 is the centrepiece of our lineup, perfectly weighing athletic and elegant characteristics with the demands of electrified sustainability. This represents the clearest interpretation yet of the Genesis brand identity. Our goal is to offer unique, design-inspired experiences for our customers." SangYup Lee, Senior Vice President, Head of Global Brand
As with all G80 models, distinctive signature Genesis design elements can be seen on Electrified G80. At the front are the trademark design cues of the double lined Quad Lamp arrangement and bold Crest Grille, which combine to give a modern but distinguished look.
However, for Electrified G80, the Crest Grille features a brand new design that helps emphasize the car's cutting edge character. Featuring a flush aerodynamic finish and two tone mesh surround, the imposing grille also houses Electrified G80's cleverly hidden charging port. The diamond-shaped door fits discreetly into the trademark G-Matrix pattern so that it effectively 'disappears' when closed, helping create a smooth and integrated appearance. When opened, the hinge's two-line chrome garnishes inside further create a sense of brand unity.
Electrified G80 stands out further with its unique front bumper design that features a distinctive diamond pattern intake that mirrors that of the grille above. Integrated into the ends of the bumper are 'air curtains' that carefully channel air along the side of the car, minimizing turbulence and reducing aerodynamic drag. In combination with the exclusive 19-inch Turbine alloy wheels and additional underbody fairings that create a smooth, uninterrupted aerodynamic surface, Electrified G80 offers a drag coefficient figure of just 0.26.
The rear of the Electrified G80 also features a new bumper design that further highlights the car's sustainable hi-tech character. With no exhaust pipe to accommodate, it has a more cohesive three-dimensional finish, while a new chrome trim strip at the lower edge helps to emphasize the Electrified G80's luxurious and sporty image.
Another distinctive feature of Electrified G80 is the optional Solar Roof that has the ability to charge the vehicle's high-voltage drive battery using sunlight, gaining driving range and avoiding battery discharge when the car is parked up for long periods. Over the course of a year, this state-of-the-art addition can add an extra 1,150km (715miles) to Electrified G80's range.
As on other G80 models, the trademark Quad Lamp graphic is a unique signature of Genesis design, as it helps to communicate Electrified G80's distinct identity. This feature extends beyond the limits of the headlamps, into the rear of the front wings and the tail lamps, encompassing all sides of the vehicle.
Running down the sides of Electrified G80 is a Parabolic Line graphic, inspired by the elegant look of classic cars. Beginning at the Quad Lamp and continuing through the top of the doors before lowering towards the rear of the car, it gives Electrified G80 an assertive presence on the road.
This tapered line is counterbalanced by the athletic "power lines" that help emphasize the wings and the body-to-wheel ratio. In addition, the static 'forward visual motion' of the Electrified G80 is strengthened by a chrome trim strip that begins at the front wheels before stretching out along the bottom of the doors, across the lower sills and then gently upwards to the rear.
A dramatic, tapered look at the rear is highlighted by a sloping boot lid and Quad Lamps, which visually mirror those at the front. Chrome trim at the top of the boot stretches the full width of Electrified G80, repeating the visual graphic of the Genesis emblem.
The Luxury of Space
Based on the "Beauty of White Space" concept inspired by traditional Korean architecture, Electrified G80 balances cool premium design with spaciousness and state-of-the-art technology. Created to meet the demands of an active and connected lifestyle, the elegantly styled interior reinforces Electrified G80's premium positioning and exceptional craftsmanship.
"Inside, the 'Beauty of White Space' theme represents our journey to achieve the perfect balance between personal space and state-of-the-art technology. Technology should not dominate and only present itself when necessary. This is the new luxury experience our Genesis customers expect in today's high-end user experience." Luc Donckerwolke, Chief Creative Officer, Genesis Brand
For Electrified G80, environmental sustainability integrates seamlessly with the highest standard of luxury and comfort. Both the standard leather and optional Nappa leather trim finishes are tanned using a natural dye containing pine and rape seed oil. Covering the seats, dashboard, armrests and doors, it allows Electrified G80 to deliver a sustainable finish that enhances the already premium luxury ambience.
Also available is a Forged Wood trim for the dashboard and doors, which further enhances the interior elegance of Electrified G80. Created with recycled off-cuts of Birch wood from the furniture manufacturing process, it further reflects the commitment to sustainable luxury of the Genesis brand.
Elsewhere in Electrified G80, various other interior components have been created with eco-friendly and recycled materials. For instance, the headlining, floor mats and sun visors feature fabrics made in part with recycled PET and nylon yarn.
As with other G80 models, the interior of Electrified G80 is zoned into distinct two-tiered 'panoramic' and 'control' areas and is both comfortable to be in and intuitive to use. The steering wheel and sleek, thin air vents that run across the full width of the sweeping dashboard are used to separate these two clearly defined zones, with the panoramic area above and the control area below.
In the upper panoramic area is a 12.3-inch instrument cluster ahead of the driver, which is complemented by a 14.5-inch infotainment screen with high-definition display that relays all the necessary information while driving. By dividing the steering wheel into the same upper and lower halves, Genesis distinguishes the upper (panoramic area) and lower part (control area) to optimize the intuitive use of the vehicle as well as the view ahead.
The control area is equipped with the Genesis Integrated Controller for the infotainment system. Using a touch sensitive handwriting pad it is positioned ahead of the drive-by-wire, glass-topped rotary gear selector. Throughout the interior, the number of buttons and switches has been intentionally kept to a minimum, creating both a cool, minimalistic aesthetic and promoting an ease of use.
Visibility for the driver and passengers in Electrified G80 was a design priority, with the result being a relaxed and panoramic view of the road ahead, and a sense of openness when seated. This has been achieved by minimizing the A-pillar thickness and rearview mirror dimensions, plus keeping the dashboard height as low as possible.
While the uncluttered design is a perfect example of measured restraint, luxury is demonstrated with the 12-way power adjustable standard seats and with the optional 18-way Ergo Motion Driver's Seat which features seven air chambers that can be adjusted to ensure maximum comfort and posture. Furthermore, the seat ergonomics are optimized according to the selected drive mode.
In Comfort, the bolstering is adjusted to make lateral support less pronounced, while Sport mode introduces a firmer shaping for more secure support of the body during dynamic driving.
Adjusting the ambient temperature is equally straightforward, with standard two-zone and optional three-zone climate control, both featuring capacitive touch capability with tactile haptic feedback. Heated front seats are standard, while ventilated seats front and rear, heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel are optional.
Lighting is key to enjoying any environment and customisable ambient lighting not only helps set the mood, but also increases safety by changing the colour of the tramsmission shifter depending on which gear is selected-red for reverse and a user-selected ambient colour for drive and neutral.
A sense of luxury and calm is further enhanced by the class-leading interior space, with Electrified G80 offering generous leg and headroom for front and rear seat passengers, while the optional panoramic sunroof adds to the sense of openness in the cabin.
The Personal Touch
The generously-equipped Electrified G80 can be further enhanced with a range of optional packages that are aimed at meeting a wide range of owner needs. Bringing together carefully selected features, these upgrades can be specified separately or together to deliver complete tailored personalisation:
Class-leading electrified platform with premium refinement
With Electrified G80, the Design and Engineering Development teams set out to build both a great Genesis and a world-class premium EV product. In keeping with a laser-sharp focus, a determined effort was placed on maximizing design inventiveness, optimizing interior spaciousness, delivering a premium experience, and ensuring best-in-class safety.
"The Electrified G80 is a true, authentic Genesis. It brings all the existing strengths from the previous generations, but with the added benefits of a powerful and efficient EV powertrain. No compromises have been made in the move to electrification, with extensive changes to the structure and suspension helping maximize the advantages of this state-of-the-art set-up." Tyrone Johnson, Director, Vehicle Development at Genesis Brand.
Underpinning Electrified G80 is a carefully adapted version of Genesis' advanced and bespoke rear-wheel drive platform. Designed to be as strong and light as possible, Electrified G80's body makes extensive use of aluminum, helping reduce the body-in-white mass by up to 46kg to increase both efficiency and performance.
For Electrified G80, the structure has been optimized to deliver even greater tensile strength, thanks in part to the extensive use of hot stamped parts in crucial areas such as the A- and B-pillars. This process delivers the highest possible strength through hot forming and quenching processes.
Unique to Electrified G80 is the use of aluminum die-cast assemblies at the front and rear, including the suspension towers. Light and strong extruded aluminum is used for the sills and the rear bulkhead, while the front seat crossmember is formed from Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP). As a result, the Electrified G80's structure is 17% stiffer than the petrol and diesel models.
Overall, engineers have created a light and strong structure that results in superb torsional rigidity and the highest level of dynamic driving performance, all while maintaining the comfort, stability and safety that is emblematic of the Genesis brand.
Electrified G80's 87.2kWh battery pack is mounted low between the front and rear axles, helping deliver optimal weight distribution and a low centre of gravity. This delivers both improved cornering performance and driving stability at high speed. The platform also secures battery safety through a strong support structure, plus energy-absorbent sections of the body and chassis that combine with effective energy load paths to protect the lithium-ion pack.
Premium refinement and comfort also come as standard, with Electrified G80 featuring state-of-the art, triple-sealed door surrounds and enhanced sound insulation works with the Active Noise Cancellation-Road (ANC-R) to eliminate resonances from the road. In addition, the Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview, delivers excellent ride quality by using information supplied through a facing front camera to automatically ensure the adaptive dampers are precisely calibrated to cope with any upcoming obstacles, such as speed bumps and potholes.
Electried G80 delivers a stress-free premium EV experience
Every aspect of Genesis Electrified G80 has been carefully considered to make the switch to electric vehicles as effortless and user-friendly as possible.

Allowing Electrified G80 a powerful electrical architecture that enables 800 volt and 400 volt charging without the need for additional components or adapters. This patented technology manages the motor and the inverter to allow for stable charging regardless of the infrastructure.
When charging at 240 kW with the ultra fast charging function, the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just over 21 minutes. Using a 11kW wallbox charger, Electrified G80 can be replenished from 10% to 100% in around seven and a half hours.
Also available is a unique Solar Roof option, which can assist the charging process by generating electricity using sunlight. Based on an average of just under six hours of daylight, this sophisticated addition can add around 0.7kWh of energy, which translates to an extra 3km of range. Over the course of a year, it's possible for the Solar Roof to contribute over 266.5kWh of electric energy and 1,150 km of range, all from the energy of the sun.
Electrified G80 also benefits from a state-of-the-art battery conditioning function that manages the battery's temperature to ensure optimal conditions. The state-of-the-art system not only preheats the cells to secure better performance when the battery temperature is low but can also shorten the amount of charging time by optimizing the battery temperature when sat-nav is programmed with a rapid charger location.
Finally, thanks to its unique V2L (Vehicle to Load) function, Electrified G80 can also be used as a mobile power source. Supporting a 3.6 kW power supply, it gives owners the freedom to use electricity regardless of location, such as when enjoying outdoor activities. From laptop computers to electric bicycles, Electrified G80 can keep them topped-up and ready to go when customers are out and about.
First class electric powertrain
Electrified G80 is designed and engineered to deliver a powerful statement, both visually and from behind the wheel. Helping to deliver on its promise, Electrified G80 is available in Europe in powerful 370PS dual motor guise.
"With these new electric powertrains powering our latest all-electric Genesis models, we take another important step forward in the rapid evolution of Genesis. We also show that we are not satisfied to merely keep pace with our competition, but instead choose to lead from the front." Tyrone Johnson, Director, Vehicle Development at Genesis Brand
This set-up uses a pair of 136kW electric motors - one driving the front wheels and the other the rears -for AWD traction and security. Electrified G80 marries driving range and performance with luxury and comfort. By accentuating the key dynamic advantages of an electrified powertrain, Electrified G80 further enhances the Genesis commitment to exceptional comfort and refinement.
Each motor utilises the brand's new power electric (PE) system, which consists of the motor itself, an EV transmission and an inverter. These three components are integrated into a single compact module, which ensures exceptional performance. Furthermore, this layout gives efficiencies in both space and weight.
The motors also contain a bespoke rotor and ball bearing design that allows it to spin at up to 19,000rpm, which is an increase of to 70% compared to existing motors. The use of hairpin winding technology also allows for a 20% higher drawing rate than in similar motors.
As a result, Electrified G80 delivers exceptional performance, with instant and powerful acceleration that's delivered in a seamless and near-silent surge. Yet this power can be accessed with a level of accuracy and control unheard of in an internal combustion engined car, creating a sense of confidence and calm to go hand-in-hand with the thrilling acceleration.
Each motor delivers an impressive 136kW and 350Nm of torque, resulting in a combined output of 272kW (370PS) with an impressive WLTP range of 520km (323 miles). Extremely strong performance comes as standard, with the 0-62mph sprint taking just 4.9 seconds, while the high-revving motors allow a top speed of 139mph.
On top of its dynamic performance, Electrified G80 also delivers the refined and luxurious driving experience that has become a Genesis hallmark. Using a suite of Innovative and thoughtful features, Electrified G80 enhances driving pleasure, comfort and efficiency whatever the road conditions.
For example, Electrified G80 benefits from the same Genesis Disconnector Actuator System (DAS) already seen on the GV60. This state-of-the-art system can quickly and smoothly connect or disconnect the front motor from the drive wheels, allowing Electrified G80 to freely switch between RWD and AWD depending on the system requirements, minimizing power loss and ensuring efficient driving.
This system works with the Smart Regeneration System 2.0, which helps fine-tune energy regeneration by automatically adjusting the regenerative braking capability according to traffic data and navigation map information. In doing so, it more effectively channels energy that would otherwise be lost back into the battery, helping towards Electrified G80's already impressive range.
Further enhancing efficiency of Electrified G80 is the i-Pedal (Intelligent Pedal) mode, which allows the driver to accelerate, decelerate, and stop using just the accelerator pedal alone. Not only does the i-Pedal allow a more intuitive and relaxing way to drive, but it also improves efficiency by maximizing the amount of energy that is harvested when slowing, feeding it back into the battery. By using the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, the braking force can also be adjusted to suit the driver's preference and road conditions, with three different modes available.
Exceptional braking performance comes as standard thanks to the addition of the IEB (Integrated Electric Booster) that offers a more progressive braking performance, lower noise levels and increased stability compared to a traditional vacuum system. Uniquely, it also allows drivers to tune the responsiveness and feel of the pedal using the drive modes, with Comfort and Sport featuring unique settings. Furthermore, Electrified G80 benefits from larger diameter 360mm discs front and rear compared to the 345mm items on the standard car, while at the front are powerful four-pot calipers.

"In Electrified G80 we have created a premium saloon that will satisfy the most demanding of drivers. Agile and responsive, it delivers a confidence inspiring connection between the driver and the road. Yet this sporty dynamic does not come at the expense of comfort and refinement, with Electrified G80's sophisticated suspension providing the best of both worlds." Tyrone Johnson, Director, Vehicle Development at Genesis Brand
The availability of drive modes (Eco, Comfort and Sport) allows the experience behind the wheel to be tailored to suit the road and the driver's mood. At the touch of a button each setting carefully retunes the damper and powertrain attributes to either enhance efficiency, promote a more relaxed environment or prime the car for dynamic driving.
Particular attention has been paid to the EPAS (Electronic Power Assisted Steering), with careful calibration resulting in exceptionally natural response and weighting. The steering allows both exceptional and confidence-inspiring stability at high speeds without compromising the Electrified G80's connected feel and agility through corners.
Extensive tuning of the state-of-the art electronically controlled adaptive dampers delivers both handling precision and ride comfort. This has been achieved through exhaustive testing on some of the most challenging road surfaces in Europe. In addition, the use of bespoke stiffened springs, anti-roll bars and rubber bushes helps deliver composed driving dynamics and a unique sense of connection between car and driver.
Electrified G80 also features the brand's advanced EDTVC (Electronically-assisted Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control), which can subtly brake an inside wheel when the car is cornering. This improves agility and reduces understeer by directing greater torque to the outside wheels, helping rotate Electrified G80 more effectively and further enhancing driver confidence and control.
Contributing further to Electrified G80's agile and assured handling are the use of Genesis-developed Michelin tyres. Models fitted with the standard 19-inch alloy wheels benefit from the Summer Pilot Sport 4. These tyres have been tuned specifically for Genesis and provide excellent grip, ride comfort and refinement.
Next-Generation, Technology-Enabled Luxury
A suite of cutting-edge technologies allows Electrified G80 to offer an unrivalled level of convenience to drivers and passengers. Each advanced feature is focused on seamlessly integrating the Electrified G80 with its user's devices, preferences and lifestyle.

The 12.3-inch instrument cluster can be customized to reflect the driving mode (Eco, Comfort and Sport), with a change in both background colour and information displayed. It also augments the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) by prominently displaying lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring and forward collision alerts. Furthermore, an optional function allows the instruments to be displayed in a true 3D image, while cameras mounted in the cluster can recognise the driver's eyes and use the information to highlight the areas directly in their eye line.
Further advanced features include the Remote Smart Parking Assistant (RSPA), which allows simple and stress-free parking. Controlled from either inside the car or from outside using the key fob, this system controls the steering, throttle and brakes to execute reverse, parallel and perpendicular parking maneuvers. It also includes Reversing Guide lighting, a system that benefits both drivers and pedestrians. When reversing, highly visible dotted guidelines are projected onto the road surface, outlining the vehicle's direction. Not only does this give the driver extra guidance, it also offers a clear visual warning to pedestrians about the vehicle's intended course.
Unrivalled levels of comfort and refinement are standard with Electrified G80, which uses cutting edge sound engineering to deliver tranquility. Acoustic glass is employed in the windscreen and front doors, while carefully located and applied sound absorbing material significantly reduces the transmission of noises from the tyres and road to the interior of Electrified G80.

A five-speaker centre sound bar, Kevlar-cone front midrange speakers, acoustic lenses and metal speaker grilles create precise, immersive audio, while an eight-inch, under-seat subwoofer produce rich bass.
With no detail overlooked, every aspect of Genesis Electrified G80 has been painstakingly developed to create the best possible experience in its class. The features available include:
Advanced Safety - front centre airbag and machine-learning ADAS
In keeping with the Genesis brand's focus on safety, Electrified G80 debuts innovative and class-leading safety technologies within a wide range of standard active and passive safety systems that deliver unrivalled driver assistance and crash protection.
Careful engineering of the front crash structure means the Electrified G80 has been developed to meet the rigorous demands of Euro NCAP test now features two extra side impact tests and an extremely challenging, simulated car-to-car offset head-on collision. Engineers also worked on ensuring Electrified G80 delivered exceptional protection to the driver and occupants.
A significant new safety feature on Electrified G80 is its front centre airbag. Located in the driver's seat on the centre console side, it deploys in just 0.03 seconds in the event of a side collision to help prevent the two front passengers from colliding with each other or with vehicle components. It comes standard on all Electrified G80 models, alongside nine other airbags (driver and front passenger; left and right side; driver's knee; left and right curtains; left and right rear passenger airbags).
Further peace-of-mind comes with the brand's cutting-edge machine-learning (ML) technology that builds upon existing state-of-the-art advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to provide a safer, smoother and more enjoyable driving experience. These ADAS technologies use this machine learning to adapt to drive behavior for a more comfortable experience, while elsewhere cameras and sensors are deployed to detect and avoid obstructions, minimize the impact from collisions in worst case scenarios.
As with similar systems, the Smart Cruise Control (SCC) and Highway Driving Assist II (HDA II) automatically adjust throttle and braking to maintain a set distance from vehicles ahead, plus automatically steers the car to keep it centred within its lane. However, the Electrified G80 uses its machine learning to understand the driver's behavior even when these systems are not activated, allowing it to react faster and more accurately. By observing the timing and responsiveness of the driver's acceleration and the following distance maintained, the system can approximate similar behavior when SCC is activated.
Machine-learning also augments the updated HDA II system by adapting braking and acceleration based on driver behaviour. These parameters also adjust according to the driving mode selected. HDA II also includes the ability to execute autonomous driver-initiated lane changes, improved responsiveness for avoiding vehicles cutting into the lane at low speeds and the ability to adjust the vehicle's position within the lane when other road users get too close.
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) not only reduces the risk of collision with stationary vehicles in the same lane, but it also features Junction Turning and Junction Crossing Functions, plus Lane Change Oncoming and Lane Change Side warnings. In addition, the Evasive Steering Assist will actively help turn the car away from a potential collision if it detects it is safer to do so.
Safety is further enhanced with the integration of the advanced 12.3-inch instrument cluster with the Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist (BCA) and Blind Spot View Monitor (BVM). When the indicator is activated a real-time image is automatically displayed on the cluster when another vehicle is detected.
