Tom Appel:

By a long time next year, Korean luxury carmaker Genesis will certainly have 3 electrical automobiles in its tidy schedule. The boldy styled GV60 little crossover came in 2015, as well as an electrified variation of the excellent GV70 portable crossover shows up soon. Maybe crossovers aren’t your thing. Thankfully, there’s additionally a volt-driven midsize sedan in the Genesis profile. Satisfy the G80, or more correctly, the G80 Electrified.

2023 Genesis G80 Electrified Unlike the GV60, which is a stand-alone EV version, the G80 Electrified is a battery-powered version of the impressive G80, which is powered by either a 4-cylinder or V6 fuel engine. A little bit of problem up front: the G80 Electrified is not available all over. A lot more on that particular momentarily.

Unlike the standard G80, which is available in 3 trim degrees varying in price from concerning $50,000 to around $66,000 to start, the Electrified is used only in a single, unnamed, very-well complete trim. Our examination auto concerned $81,495 consisting of the destination charge as well as extra-cost Capri Blue paint. AWD is common. Nothing else options are available.

2023 Genesis G80 Electrified Power comes from a pair of electric motors which combine to create 365 horse power. The standard and also only battery has a reported capacity of 87.2 kWh, great for an EPA estimated 282 miles of driving array. And also, if you have accessibility to high-speed public charging, the G80 Electrified battery can be brought from a 10-percent charge to an-80-percent charge in simply 22 minutes.

On the road, the G80 Electrified really feels much like the traditional G80, though some testers recommended that the weight of the battery might be felt in hostile cornering, adding to extra roll, as well as slowing cornering action. The Electrified does weigh regarding 600 extra pounds a lot more than the gas-fired G80, we doubt most motorists will certainly notice the added mass.

The G0 Electrified’s inside is rich with premium products and also modern-feeling style. The Digital interface includes a 14.5-inch touchscreen, along with physical controls for the systems used frequently. We were excited by the touchscreen graphics, which were both clear and also bundled enjoyable, turning iconography offered in an elegant sepia color.

Like lots of superior midsize sedans, particularly those from BMW and Mercedes-Benz, the Electrified’s front door openings are a little tiny for larger and high folks, however there’s lots of individuals area once inside the cars and truck.

2023 Genesis G80 Electrified One concession the G80 Electrified asks of clients is minimized trunk room. Due to the fact that the G80 was at first designed to support an electrical drivetrain, room needed to be made to suit the battery. A few of that area came with the expenditure of trunk quantity, which in the case of the G80 Electrified is available in at 10.8 cubic feet, down from 13.1 feet in the gasoline-powered G80. You can see battery breach in the truck image listed below.

For well-heeled shoppers trying to find a low-key means to go electric, the G80 Electrified belongs on your must-test-drive checklist. Here’s the issue: At the very least at first, Genesis will just be making the cars and truck readily available in Arizona, California, New Jersey, the state of New York, Vermont, and Washington State. We anticipated to see more comprehensive schedule at some point soon, yet Genesis is mother on future distribution plans. If you can obtain ahold of a G80 Electrified, you’ve scored on your own an especially qualified and also refreshingly underrated EV.
