2023 Genesis Electrified G80 First Drive Review: Goodbye Gas
The 2023 Genesis Electrified G80 gets rid of the least impressive part of the original car.
That’s not to say I wasn’t a fan of the G80’s turbocharged V6. On the contrary, I fell for its power at the late 2020 launch of the second-gen sedan, preferring it to the four-cylinder option.
Part of the appeal of a big luxury sedan is the sheer waftability, and a fully electric powertrain is pretty much perfect for that. In the transition to Electrified, the G80 gives up little of what makes it such a great—if overlooked—luxury sedan, trading that for hush-hush comfort and startlingly good efficiency.
Editor’s Note: Instead of a traditional automaker-organized first drive event, we drove the Electrified G80 as part of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada’s (AJAC) annual EcoRun, which collects many of the market’s most fuel-efficient vehicles for a long-distance road trip. Stay tuned for more coverage from EcoRun.
