Buyers get a choice of wood or metal paneling on the interior, standard automatic climate control, a leather wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth and voice command control interfaces, LED interior lighting, a proximity-based entry system and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink.
The audio system includes a 14.5-inch central infotainment screen incorporating the Genesis Integration Controller software specifically for Valet mode and other convenience feature systems. A 21-speaker Lexicon stereo system is just another example of the many updates from last year's model. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity are also standard.
This vehicle is equipped with a number of advanced safety features including anti-lock brakes, a backup-camera, electronic stability, traction control and 10 airbags as standard fare.

The 2021 Genesis G80 builds on the groundwork of previous model years offering more technology, driving aids and luxury features. It also includes the quad headlight design and larger grille that was introduced on the new GV80 crossover and refreshed G90 sedan. The swooping roofline is a welcomed, unique, physical transformation that only adds style and distinction to the redesigned G80.
In terms of size and features, the Genesis G80 will compete directly against the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. While very well-equipped, the G80 comes in price closer to entry-level luxury cars such as the BMW 3-Series and the Mercedes C-Class. The Genesis represents an excellent luxury value, offering an excellent luxury and performance value ratio than just about anything in its segment.
