About the Genesis G80 RG3
The second-generation Genesis G80, codenamed RG3, marked a significant departure for Hyundai's luxury arm with its 'two-line' lighting signature and massive crest grille. Built on a bespoke rear-wheel-drive platform, it focuses on 'the beauty of white space' within its interior, utilizing high-quality materials like open-pore wood and Nappa leather. The 2.5T serves as the entry-level powertrain, offering a balance of efficiency and sufficient performance to compete with the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It is noted for its exceptionally quiet cabin and composed, comfort-oriented ride quality.
