The new 2022 Genesis G80 Sport model’s well-tuned suspension serves notice to the BMW 5-Series.
. The arrival of the 2022 Genesis G80 Sport returns the model to the lineup and rights the suspension wrongs of other G80 models, which are now offered only with the 300-hp 2.5-liter turbo-4.
The G80 Sport gets the automaker’s first application of rear-wheel steering to go with standard all-wheel drive and a sport tuned suspension system. The changes are larger than they might seem on paper and dramatically address the G80’s largest shortcomings, but not all the way.Editorial Director Marty Padgett and I spent time in the G80 Sport and we both found the suspension is more buttoned down than non-Sport G80s.
The addition of rear-wheel steering is the highlight of the G80 Sport. The system turns the rear wheels up to 4.0 degrees opposite of the fronts below 37 mph and up to 2.0 degrees in phase with the fronts above 37 mph. The blend is invisible to most, and it delivers surprisingly sharp turn-in with precise steering. It’s so sharp in this mid-size application that I didn’t get used to it enough to place the car correctly until after a few corners.
Genesis lent Motor Authority a couple of G80 Sports for a week so we could bring you this first-hand report.
