Up until very recently – right after we handed the car back, in fact – the Electrified G80 was only offered in a single, fully-loaded trim level. Genesis has since brought the price down a bit by offering a slightly de-contented Advanced Package, starting at $74,375. This trim still offers the same dual-motor setup, but it loses a few features like the fully digital instrument cluster, surround-view monitor, soft-close doors, Nappa leather, and massage seats. The Prestige Package adds $4,750 to the price, bringing the total to $79,125, which is actually a little less than last year’s model.
The BMW i5 is less expensive at the low end of the range, starting at $66,800 for the 335-hp i5 eDrive40 model, but the Mercedes EQE Sedan is pricier at $74,900 in its base trim. Both German options only include a single rear electric motor with less power than the Genesis at that price, but they do offer a higher EPA-rated range. When similarly equipped, the Mercedes EQE is much more expensive.
As mentioned, the 2025 G80 lineup benefits from some exciting changes; the brand also recently announced a bespoke division that features a limited-run Genesis G80 Performance special edition. It’s clear Genesis isn’t resting on its laurels, and while the 2025 G80 models are the ones to have, the current Electrified G80 remains a compelling sedan that trades usability for range without detracting from performance. We don’t see it being the most popular EV in the Genesis lineup, but the Electrified G80 feels like it adds up to more than the sum of its parts.
