The 2025 Genesis G80 has arrived in Australia with a brand new look and upgraded features. Available for order now, the luxury sedan comes in two variants, the 2.5T and 3.5T AWD, both equipped with the standard Luxury Package. Prices start at AUD 104k or approximately $68,550, which is higher compared to the 2024 G80 in America. In Australia, upgrading to the 3.5-liter turbo is necessary for all-wheel drive, with prices starting at AUD 121k or almost $80k. It’s important to note that the prices mentioned are the Manufacturer’s List Price, and additional fees apply before reaching the final on-road price.
According to Genesis, the enhancements made to the 2025 G80 justify the higher price tag. The sedan boasts sophisticated exterior and interior updates, as well as improved safety, comfort, and convenience features. The Luxury Package is now included as standard across the range, and the only available options are matte paint, Rear-Seat Entertainment, and the Sport Package, exclusive to the 3.5T variant.
