The Genesis G80 is one of the newest executive saloon cars on the market to lease, competing with the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Designed with comfort in mind, Genesis have produced a classy and stylish alternative with impressive cabin quality and a luxurious feel, making it an instant contender in this competitive market.
Gorgeous cabin.
Sleek silhouette.
Excellent quality.
The Genesis G80 is a cool alternative to the established executive saloon models such as the E-Class and A6 without sacrificing the comfort, technology, and quality those cars provide.
Although South Korea, the country of origin for Genesis, may not be synonymous with luxury, the G80 is a really competitive product that can hold its own even against the likes of Jaguar and Lexus.
Opting for leasing is an affordable way to drive off with a brand-new car. It’s essentially a rental, which means you choose the car you want and tailor your contract to suit you – including annual mileage.
As you don’t own the car, you can spread the cost with fixed monthly payments, and enjoy a new car with all the latest tech. Plus, you don’t have to worry about any depreciation costs or paying a balloon payment.
The Genesis G80 is a big car and has plenty of space inside. The rear legroom is very generous and, despite the swooping roofline, rear headroom is sufficient for most adults too. The car’s cabin also feels very wide, which means there’s plenty of shoulder room, even with four adults on board. For those in the front, there’s lots of storage space and plenty of seat adjustment, as well as ample headroom.
At 424 litres, the boot is a little smaller than that of a BMW 5 Series, but the G80 still has more outright luggage capacity than most compact family SUVs. The space is shallow and wide, so it’s best suited to suitcases and shopping bags, but there’s enough room for a family’s holiday luggage or a business trip. The Electrified G80 has slightly less room in its boot, but it’s still on a par with practical hatchbacks such as the Volkswagen Polo.
There’s a simple choice of engines for G80 customers. It’s a straight choice between a 2.5-litre petrol engine or the Electrified model with its twin electric motors. The Electrified G80 offers a range of 323 miles on a single charge and will be more affordable to run for the duration of a lease. Even if you can’t achieve that in real-world conditions, more than 250 miles should be achievable on a mixture of roads, while 350kW charging capability allows for rapid recharging.
The Electrified model will also be the powertrain of choice for company car drivers. Electric cars attract low tax rates, and with few fully electric alternatives in this class, the Electrified G80 could prove a popular alternative to the Tesla Model S and Mercedes-Benz EQE.
The Genesis G80 is only available in 4-door, 5-seat saloon form, but customers can choose between petrol and electric power.
Trim Levels Available: Premium, Luxury, Sport.
Every version of the G80 is well equipped, with 19-inch alloy wheels and a 14.5-inch touchscreen included as standard. The entry-level Genesis also comes with a rear-view camera, keyless entry and electrically adjustable leatherette seats.
The Genesis G80 is wading into battle with some strong rivals. Chief among these are the BMW 5 Series, which has long reigned supreme in this segment, and the Mercedes E-Class, a comfortable and stylish contender. The Audi A6 is another key player, with its beautifully engineered interior and first-rate technology. Aside from the German options, the Jaguar XF brings British design and classy handling to the market, while the DS9 offers a distinctly French take on the comfortable saloon car. The Volvo S90 is another strong rival, with its minimalist design and brilliant Android-powered touchscreen, while the Lexus ES provides hybrid power and the promise of bulletproof reliability.
Genesis is a new brand, but parent company Hyundai’s reputation is excellent. The G80 also comes with a 5-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, suggesting confidence in the car’s longevity.
In petrol format, the G80 has a 424-litre boot that should be big enough for most drivers’ needs.
The G80 range comprises 3 trim levels: Premium, Luxury and Sport.
Yes, every version of the G80 comes with parking sensors and a rear-view camera.
The Genesis G80 is a large 4-door saloon and it’s spacious as a result. Those in the back get lots of legroom, while the boot is big enough for a family’s holiday luggage and school bags.
The G80 might be new, but it comes with stunning design inside and out, as well as a comfortable ride and a smooth petrol engine. The quality is first class, and the option of an all-electric version will be good news for company car drivers.
