Overview

2024 Genesis G80

The 2024 Genesis G80 offers a refined driving experience with a potent 3.5L V6 engine and standard all-wheel drive. Its luxurious interior and advanced features are attractive, but a notable recall history focused on the instrument cluster software warrants attention.

Critical Failure Risk

Early detection can help you avoid a $150-$300 repair.
