Genesis Motors Australia has launched the 2025 Electrified G80, bringing a bold new statement in electric luxury to the large sedan segment. Now available in a single, fully loaded Signature AWD variant, the updated G80 elevates the brand’s vision of Korean luxury with an extended wheelbase, state-of-the-art technology, and an impressive 570km WLTP driving range.
Priced from $155,000 MLP, the 2025 Electrified G80 combines refinement and innovation in equal measure—making it a standout option for novated lease buyers who want luxury with zero tailpipe emissions.
A Flagship Redefined
At its core, the 2025 Electrified G80 features a fourth-generation 94.5kWh high-voltage battery that delivers up to 570km of electric driving range. The dual-motor AWD setup produces 272kW of power and a substantial 700Nm of torque, launching the vehicle from 0 to 100km/h in just 5.1 seconds.
Charging is just as impressive—Genesis claims a 10–80% recharge can take as little as 25 minutes with a 350kW ultra-rapid charger.
Longer, Smoother, Quieter
Thanks to a 130mm increase in wheelbase (now 3,140mm), rear passengers enjoy 83mm more legroom and 20mm more headroom. Comfort is enhanced by rear Ergo Motion seats, complete with massage function, memory settings, heating, ventilation, and winged headrests.
Genesis has also implemented Active Noise Control – Road (ANC-R), a high-tech system that uses microphones and sensors to cancel road noise in real time, delivering an ultra-quiet cabin.
Rear wheel steering, Preview Electronic Control Suspension (ECS), and enhanced chassis NVH characteristics all contribute to a more refined and composed ride.
Technology That Sets a New Benchmark
Leading the charge in digital luxury is a 27-inch OLED screen that integrates the instrument cluster and infotainment display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard, along with Genesis Connected Services and over-the-air (OTA) updates.
Rear seat passengers aren’t forgotten. They have their own wireless charging pad, touch-controlled climate panel, powered sunshades, and a UV-C sanitising compartment in the centre console.
Comprehensive Safety Suite
The 2025 G80 debuts Genesis’ most extensive driver assistance package yet. Highlights include:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2 (FCA2) – with junction crossing and evasive steering.
- Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2) – supports assisted lane changes and maintains positioning.
- Lane Following Assist 2 (LFA2) – with hands-on detection.
- Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 (RSPA2) – enables the car to park itself remotely.
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) and Blind Spot Collision-Avoidance (BCA).
- Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA) – adjusts cruise control speed based on posted signs.
Premium Finishes and Options
The interior exudes Korean luxury with Nappa leather seats, open-pore wood trim, ambient lighting, and a new two-tone leather steering wheel. Matte paint is the only factory option, available for an additional $2,000.
Ownership Experience
Genesis continues to lead in aftersales service with the following inclusions:
- 5-Year Warranty (unlimited km for private buyers)
- 8-Year Battery Warranty
- 5 Years of Complimentary Scheduled Servicing
- 5 Years of ‘Genesis To You’ concierge service
- 10-Year Roadside Assistance (if serviced by Genesis)
- 5-Year Chargefox EV charging subscription
These inclusions make it a compelling choice for private buyers and novated lease customers seeking peace of mind.
Novated Leasing Perspective
With an MLP of $155,000, the Electrified G80 does not qualify for the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) exemption on EVs (available only on vehicles priced below the Luxury Car Tax threshold for fuel-efficient cars, $91,387 as of 2025). However, novated lease buyers in higher income brackets may still benefit from significant tax advantages.
The luxurious inclusions and electric powertrain make it an attractive option for executives looking for comfort, technology, and prestige without fuel costs or tailpipe emissions.
Final Word
“The 2025 Electrified G80 applies an all-encompassing suite of enhancements to our enduringly electric flagship sedan,” said Justin Douglass, Head of Genesis Motors Australia. “With comprehensive upgrades to driving range, ride and refinement, and an array of additional safety, comfort and convenience technologies, it delivers an experience of unprecedented luxury.”
For those wanting a full-size electric sedan that delivers cutting-edge luxury and comfort with every kilometre, the new G80 is available now at Genesis Studios across Australia.
