Genesis Electrified G80 (2022)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Electrified G80's cutting-edge, ADAS technology includes:

• Highway Driving Assist II (HDA II) - This system helps assist the driver in a wider variety of situations, including autonomous lane change maneuvers when the turn signal is used, and when other vehicles merge ahead.
• Smart Cruise Control with Machine Learning (SCC-ML) - SCC-ML, incorporates machine learning within the ADAS feature to independently learn the driving characteristics of - and assist - its driver.
• Front centre airbag positioned between the front seat occupants helps prevent contact between the driver and passenger in the event of a side impact.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) - This system automatically brings the Electrified G80 to a stop in certain situations where there is a risk of collision with a vehicle stopping ahead or approaching on the left or right side of the junction. Pedestrian detection is included as part of this system.
• Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist (BCA) - when the system detects a vehicle in blind spots, it provides visual and audible alerts, before automatically braking if necessary to avoid a collision when parking.
• Blind Spot View Monitor (BVM): - connected with operation of the indicators, it provides live video on the 12.3-inch instrument cluster of any vehicle that's been detected in the rear lateral blind spot.
• Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist (RCCA), Parking Collision Avoidance Assist Reverse (PCA-R) and Surround View Monitor (SVM) -These systems help when maneuvering and parking by alerting the driver to traffic moving behind the vehicle, while SVM offers a panoramic bird's eye camera view of Electrified G80.
• NSCC-C Navigation based Smart Cruise Control Curve - when cruise control is engaged this automatically slows the car for sharper corners that might prove a hazard at the driver's pre-set speed.
• Evasive Steering Assist (ESA) - Assists in collision avoidance manouvers by applying steering torque once the driver has initiated steering input.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance-Assist (RCCA) - Warns driver of vehicles coming from the left or right while backing up and automatically applies the brakes.
• In addition, the Genesis safety platform integrates communications in real time to help ensure the safest response in various scenarios.
