Genesis has confirmed pricing and specifications for the updated G80 line-up for 2026, with a new variant topping the range.
The 2026 Genesis G80 line-up now uses the ‘Signature’ naming as other new and updated Genesis models, with a starting price of $104,200 before on-road costs for the 2.5T Signature RWD — the same pricing as before.
A new variant, called simply Black, is also introduced to the line-up and, while Genesis calls it the ‘crown’ of the G80 variants, it’s slightly cheaper than the Signature Sport.

2026 Genesis G80 engine/powertrain and efficiency

Genesis says it uses 9.0L/100km with a 95RON minimum fuel requirement.
The 3.5 variants, Signature Sport and Black, both have a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine, which drives all four wheels via the same transmission and makes 279kW of power at 5800rpm and 530Nm of torque between 1300-4500rpm. Genesis claims 11.0L/100km combined fuel efficiency, with a 95RON minimum.
