Delay in the Electrified G80 Launch
The electrified Genesis G80 has been generating considerable buzz, but recent reports indicate that its launch has been delayed. Genesis has decided to stick with hybrid and gas-powered models for the time being, leaving fans eager for the fully electric version in limbo. This delay means the well-received luxury sedan won’t return to the U.S. market until at least 2029.
Current Offerings and Future Plans
While the next-generation G80 EV is postponed, Genesis will continue to offer its current gas and hybrid versions. The 2024 model year was anticipated to be the end for some configurations, but the company reassures consumers that flexibility remains crucial. According to a recent statement, “the customer is at the core of every decision we make,” implying a focus on adapting to market needs.
Exciting Alternatives on the Horizon
In lieu of the electrified G80, Genesis fans can look forward to the upcoming GV90, a luxurious full-size electric SUV expected to debut by mid-2026. Featuring advanced specs like adaptive air suspension and coach doors, it represents a significant leap for the Genesis luxury brand. In addition, Genesis currently offers the all-electric GV60 and the electrified GV70 in the U.S., reflecting its commitment to electrification.
