2022 GENESIS G80 Model Range

There are also 20-inch Sport five-spoke alloy wheels with a dark grey finish and G-Matrix pattern, which contrast nicely with the black-painted monobloc front calipers.

In addition, the classy Cavendish Red and Mallorca Blue are exclusively offered for Sport Line and Sport variants.
INTERIOR

SPORT VARIANT FEATURES (3.5T RWD)
Rear Wheel Steering (RWS)
The Rear Wheel Steering system (RWS) helps increase vehicle maneuverability and stability, using an electric motor to control the steering angle of the rear wheels, according to the steering angle of the front wheels and the speed of the vehicle.
When driving at low speed (below 60km/h), the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction to the front wheels, to reduce the turning circle from 11.62m to 10.90m.
At high speeds (above 60km/h), the rear wheels steer in the same direction as the front wheels, for increased stability when changing direction.
Sport+ drive mode
G80 3.5T Sport features an additional Sport+ drive mode that further increases engine responsiveness and steering and throttle sensitivity, and engages enhanced gearbox logic, as well as turning the traction control off.
It also calls on a Sport+ suspension setting, tightening up body control and minimising body roll to elevate dynamic engagement to the next level.
Active Road Noise Control (ANC-R)
G80 3.5T Sport variant is equipped with ANC-R noise-cancellation technology.
The system uses an acceleration sensor to monitor road vibrations, which are rapidly analysed (in as little as 0.002sec) by the RANC controller.
The unit then uses a Digital Signal Processor to generate a noise-cancelling inverted soundwave, to deliver the superb luxury of a near-silent interior.
NEW STANDARD FEATURES
New 19-inch alloy wheels for 2.5T RWD
2022 G80 2.5T RWD features an all-new wheel design. Five-spoke 19-inch wheels in a hyper silver finish replace the previous dish-type wheels.
Intelligent speed limit assist (ISLA)
The addition of an Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA) system bolsters an already extensive safety suite in G80. This advanced feature can aid the driver by informing them of the current speed limit based on a combination of road sign recognition (using the windscreen-mounted camera) and navigation data.
The system can also assist the driver to change the set speed in Smart Cruise Control (SCC) or Manual Speed Limit Assist (MSLA) to help the vehicle stay within the speed limit.
NEW LUXURY PACKAGE FEATURES
Driver & front passenger ergo motion seats
An Ergo Motion function for both front seats features for 2022 G80 Luxury Package. It utilises seven air cells inside the seat to treat front occupants to a relaxing, comfortable ride while also offering exemplary posture support.
The seats also offer some enhanced functionality, such as a Posture Assist function which, after an hour of driving, automatically adjusts the pelvis and lumbar portion of the air cells to improve the occupant’s posture.
In addition, a Smart Support function enlarges the side bolsters automatically in Sport mode and when driving at higher speeds.
Second-row wireless charging
The Luxury Package now includes a second-row wireless charger integrated into the centre armrest control console, to ensure passengers in the rear can effortlessly charge their Qi compatible smartphone.
