Best Trim

When it comes to the best Genesis G80 trim, we recommend the 2.5T AWD with the Sport Prestige package.ย 

The 3.5T model is impressive, but it doesn’t offer as much value as the 2.5T AWD. The 2.5T provides lots of power and most of the luxury features you’d expect from a midsize luxury sedan. Plus, choosing the 2.5T allows you to save money that you can use to add the Sport Prestige package. This package includes an advanced suspension system and additional driver assistance features, making it a great choice for many drivers.
