The second-generation Genesis G80, codenamed RG3, was officially revealed via an online livestream on March 30, 2020, and went on sale in the US during the summer of that year.[18] It is also considered the third-generation model of the original Hyundai Genesis as the first-generation G80 model was initially launched as the second-generation Hyundai Genesis model (DH) and later rebranded as the G80 in 2016 after Genesis Motor became a separate luxury division of Hyundai.[19] There are three engine options – a 2.5-liter gasoline turbo engine, a 3.5-liter gasoline turbo engine, or a 2.2-liter diesel engine.[20]

Electrified G80[]

The Electrified G80 is the battery electric version of the G80. It debuted at the Shanghai Auto Show on 19 April 2021.[21][22][23] It has been sold in South Korea since 2021.[24][25] Deliveries in the U.S. have not started yet.[26]

It is available in a dual-motor, all-wheel drive configuration. It uses two electric motors (272 kW combined), one at each axle. The battery capacity is 87.2 kWh.

The interior contains recycled materials, including leather made with natural dye (seats, console and rear seat armrests), scrap wood produced after making furniture (“forged wood” garnish) and thread spun from plastic bottles. The Electrified G80 offers a Disconnector Actuator System (DAS), an Active Noise Control-Road (ANC-R) system, a Preview Electronic Control Suspension (Pre-view ECS), a solar charging roof, a Vehicle to Load (V2L) system and a 400/800V multi rapid charging system.[27]

The vehicle can charge from 10% to 80% in 22 minutes, if a 350 kW charger is available.[25] Just like the Ioniq 5, it has a vehicle-to-load (V2L) function, meaning that various appliances like laptops or electric bikes can be plugged into the car (instead of a wall socket) and use the car as their power source. The Electrified G80 can be equipped with an optional solar roof.[25]

The Electrified G80 will be used as an official VIP car for the 2022 G20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia.
