2026 Genesis G80 Price in Australia

Genesis G80 is the company’s large luxury sedan and one of the core models in the Australian range. It is positioned between the smaller G70 and the flagship-like Electrified G80, offering traditional petrol power with a strong emphasis on quietness, ride comfort and cabin presentation. The latest model retains Genesis’ Athletic Elegance design language with a low crest grille, two-line lighting signature and a long, formal profile that gives it more visual presence than a conventional executive sedan.

Australian buyers can choose a 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 224 kW and 422 Nm or a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 producing 279 kW and 530 Nm. Both use an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2.5T is rear-wheel drive, while the 3.5T uses all-wheel drive. Sport versions add hardware such as rear-wheel steering, an electronic limited-slip differential, Sport+ drive mode and launch control, giving the larger sedan a noticeably sharper dynamic character.

Comfort remains central to the G80 experience. Higher-specification models use electronically controlled suspension that can read the road ahead and prepare the dampers for bumps. The cabin combines Nappa leather, real wood or carbon trim, a large integrated display and carefully detailed switchgear. Current Australian material also highlights premium Bang & Olufsen audio on selected versions, wireless smartphone functions and connected services.

Safety technology is comprehensive. Genesis lists a 10-airbag system, blind-spot collision avoidance, lane support, adaptive cruise technology and surround-view assistance among the available features. Parking aids and cameras are particularly useful given the G80’s broad body and long wheelbase.

Paint availability is unusually extensive for the segment. The Australian brochure lists 14 exterior finishes across gloss and matte options, including Uyuni White, Savile Silver, Tasman Blue, Kawah Blue, Makalu Grey, Vatna Grey, Capri Blue, Brooklyn Brown, Cavendish Red, Hallasan Green and Vik Black, plus matte Verbier White, Bond Silver and Makalu Grey. Some colours are grade-specific, so buyers should confirm exact availability when configuring a vehicle.

For Australian luxury-car buyers, the G80’s strongest attributes are refinement, equipment value and a distinctive alternative to established German sedans. The main compromises are its considerable size, premium tyre and servicing costs, and a smaller retail network than longer-established rivals. For buyers who value comfort, technology and understated design, however, G80 is one of the more compelling luxury sedans in its price class.
