2026 Genesis G80 | Luxury Sedan at Genesis of Schererville

The 2026 Genesis G80 is a fully realized luxury sedan that competes directly with the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and Audi A6 — and in most objective evaluations, matches or exceeds them on interior quality, technology features, powertrain options, and warranty value. Genesis of Schererville, NWI Best of the Region 2026, has the complete G80 lineup at 1000 81st Ave, Merrillville, IN 46410.

2026 Genesis G80 Powertrain Options

Two gasoline engine configurations are available for the 2026 G80:

• 2.5T: A 300-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-4, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Available in RWD or AWD. Fuel economy of approximately 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway makes the 2.5T the efficiency choice in the lineup.
• 3.5T Sport: A 375-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 in RWD or AWD configuration. The 3.5T Sport includes a performance-tuned suspension, Brembo front brakes, and a sport exhaust that brings an audible dimension to the G80’s character without compromising cabin refinement.

Both gasoline engines are mated to an 8-speed torque converter automatic that is smooth in everyday driving and responsive in sport mode.

G80 Electrified: Full Battery-Electric Luxury

The Genesis G80 Electrified is a fully battery-electric version of the G80 with dual-motor AWD standard. An estimated 282-mile range covers the typical NWI driving week on a single charge. The G80 Electrified supports DC fast charging at up to 350 kW — a charge rate that restores a substantial portion of range in under 30 minutes. The exterior and interior are visually aligned with the gasoline G80, preserving the sedan’s proportions and premium material quality.

Interior Quality and Comfort

The G80’s interior is where Genesis makes its most compelling case against European competitors. Nappa leather seating is standard on Advanced trims and above. The front seats are 16-way power-adjustable with heating, ventilation, and massage functions on upper trims. Rear passengers receive dedicated climate controls, heated and ventilated seats, and — on the 3.5T Sport Prestige — a full executive rear seat package with recline and massage capability.

Cabin materials are at European luxury sedan standards: open-pore wood trim, brushed metal surfaces, and soft-touch materials across all touch points. The G80 routinely earns praise from luxury automotive reviewers for interior ambiance that challenges vehicles priced $15,000-$30,000 higher.

Technology and Infotainment

The 2026 G80 uses a dual-screen Integrated Memory System Display — a 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen and 16.2-inch digital instrument cluster combined in a single continuous curved unit. The system includes Genesis-connected navigation with real-time updates, over-the-air software capability, and Genesis Digital Key 2.0, which enables smartphone-based lock, unlock, and remote start via NFC or Ultra-Wideband on compatible devices.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard from the Advanced trim. A Lexicon 21-speaker premium audio system is available on the Prestige configuration — a genuine audiophile-grade system in a production luxury sedan.

Active Safety Technology

Genesis Advanced Safety is standard across the entire G80 lineup. The suite includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (which applies automatic braking if a lane change is initiated while the blind-spot alert is active), Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Highway Driving Assist II — the semi-autonomous system that maintains both lane centering and adaptive cruise control at highway speeds without requiring hands-on-wheel prompts as frequently as earlier HDA versions.
