The Genesis G80 is the middle child of the luxury sedan lineup under the banner of Genesis, which is – and we still continually get asked this - part of the Hyundai Group. This car is positioned right above the G70, currently the smallest sedan in the Genesis lineup, and below the large G90 flagship sedan, the new generation of which has only just launched.

Now, this generation of the G80 is in its second year and continues to turn heads, even if sales are slow to follow. That's the challenge of being a sedan in the modern era.
