The Korean-made EV has a big battery and a big price tag.
Genesis has electrified one of its earliest hallmark models.. With an increasing percentage of its upcoming portfolio driven by electric powertrains, the quirky Korean luxury brand looks set to just keep expanding its presence in a luxury segment that’s too long been dominated by too few choices.
Compromises had to be made, unfortunately and a sizable percentage of that pack protrudes up into the trunk. Cargo space is necessarily down, then, from 13.1 cubic feet in the regular G80 to 10.7 here. That’s a big decrease in the form of a large hump, but unless you’re hauling luggage for a month-long European vacation it shouldn’t be an issue.
This is no sports car, but it accelerates like one in that delightful EV way. Torque and throttle response are best at low speed, exactly where you want them to zip away from lights or around slower traffic on a two-lane road. It’s only at higher speeds, on the highway, where acceleration feels less immediate. Still, there’s plenty of power for highway overtakes and all the high-speed motoring you could ever want.
When talking about the exterior design, it’s not hard to know where to start. That massive, chromed crosshatch of the G80’s schnoz is utterly impossible to miss from clear across the biggest of parking lots. It makes one hell of a statement and frankly I think it’s a good one – a strong one at least.
