Tom Appel:

By some time next year, Korean deluxe carmaker Genesis will have 3 electrical lorries in its clean lineup. The aggressively styled GV60 tiny crossover came last year, and also an amazed version of the superb GV70 portable crossover shows up quickly. Perhaps crossovers aren’t your thing.

2023 Genesis G80 Electrified Unlike the GV60, which is a stand-alone EV model, the G80 Electrified is a battery-powered version of the excellent G80, which is powered by either a 4-cylinder or V6 gas engine. A little bit of trouble in advance: the G80 Electrified is not available almost everywhere. A lot more on that in a moment.

Unlike the traditional G80, which is readily available in three trim levels ranging in price from about $50,000 to around $66,000 to start, the Electrified is used only in a solitary, unrevealed, very-well equipped trim. Our examination cars and truck pertained to $81,495 consisting of the destination fee as well as extra-cost Capri Blue paint. AWD is standard. Nothing else options are available.

2023 Genesis G80 Electrified The cabin, like that of all Genesis model, compares positively with the likes of Bentley as well as Rolls Royce. The G0 Electrified’s interior is rich with high-end products and also modern-feeling design. The Digital user interface includes a 14.5-inch touchscreen, as well as physical controls for the systems utilized usually. We were thrilled by the touchscreen graphics, which were both clear and bundled enjoyable, turning iconography presented in a sophisticated sepia color.

Like numerous premium midsize cars, particularly those from BMW as well as Mercedes-Benz, the Electrified’s front door openings are a little tiny for bigger as well as tall individuals, but there’s lots of people space once inside the car.

2023 Genesis G80 Electrified One compromise the G80 Electrified asks of clients is reduced trunk room. Because the G80 was initially designed to sustain an electric drivetrain, area needed to be made to accommodate the battery. Some of that space came at the expense of trunk quantity, which in the case of the G80 Electrified is available in at 10.8 cubic feet, below 13.1 feet in the gasoline-powered G80. You can see battery breach in the truck photo below.

For well-heeled consumers searching for a low-key way to go electric, the G80 Electrified belongs on your must-test-drive listing. Below’s the trouble: At the very least initially, Genesis will just be making the vehicle readily available in Arizona, California, New Jersey, the state of New York, Vermont, as well as Washington State. We expected to see broader schedule at some point soon, however Genesis is mum on future circulation plans. Yet, if you can obtain ahold of a G80 Electrified, you’ve scored on your own a particularly experienced and refreshingly downplayed EV.
