Snapshot
- 2.5-litre and 3.5-litre petrol engines now the only options as diesel dropped from range
- New Sport Line package available on both variants
- Luxury pack scores minor 2022 upgrades
Australian pricing and features for the updated 2022 Genesis G80 have been announced today, introducing key upgrades to the large luxury sedan.
Launching in Australia at the back end of 2020, this MY22 offering marks the first major update for the G80. The most notable change is the omission of a diesel engine, as Genesis has dropped the short-lived 2.2D four-cylinder turbo-diesel for this year.
This leaves the 2.5-litre turbo four-pot and 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol as the only engine options, although both are now able to be purchased with the new optional Sport Line package, adding a host of performance-oriented upgrades.
Pricing
Both engine variants have undergone a minor price hike over the existing G80, with the flagship 3.5T now in excess of $100,000 before on-road costs.
