Genesis G80 Sport Specs, Performance & Fuel Economy
At 196.7 inches long, the 2025 Genesis G80 is an optimally sized sedan that maximizes interior space while remaining easily maneuverable in dense traffic. Thanks to its power-folding ECM outside mirrors with Genesis-logo puddle lamps, the car can become only 77.8 inches wide to fit inside almost any garage. Its sophisticated suspension balances sporty driving dynamics with smooth ride quality to soak up bumps in the road, making this model a worthy alternative to a pricier luxury car or sports sedan.
As we mentioned above, the three Genesis G80 Sport package options come in two different powertrains: The Genesis G80 2.5T Sport Prestige AWD trim is fitted with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 300 horsepower, while both 3.5T Sport variants rely on a larger 3.5-liter V-6 to churn out 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission promotes efficient and smooth acceleration, making this powerful luxury sedan the ultimate highway cruiser.
You might worry that the robust power and road-hugging AWD of the Genesis G80 Sport would tank your fuel economy, but even with its performance upgrades, these athletic variants return respectable MPG figures. The 300-horsepower 2.5-liter setup returns an EPA-estimated 20/29/24 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),1 giving you peppy pickup and wallet-friendly efficiency. Choose the 375-horsepower 3.5-liter configuration for an EPA-estimated 16/24/19 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).1
If 2025 Genesis G80 fuel economy is truly your top priority, the automaker has an alternative you might consider: the new Genesis Electrified G80, a five-passenger sedan that combines your favorite elegant appointments with all-electric powertrains.
