What changed on the 2027 Genesis G80
Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says the G80 gets some new standard equipment this year: a power trunk lid and a wireless smartphone charging pad. Kelley Blue Book's base prices on this site's data are $60,945 for the 2.5T, $66,045 for the 2.5T Advanced, $71,945 for the 2.5T Sport Prestige, $80,645 for the 3.5T Sport Prestige and $81,645 for the 3.5T Prestige Black. CarBuzz (opens in a new tab) lists the 2.5T AWD at a $59,450 MSRP and the 2.5T Advanced AWD at $64,550, and puts the average asking price at $61,512 across 62 listings.
Recall and owner reports
NHTSA lists one recall on the 2027 G80, 26V493, where the ignition coil ground bolt may be loose, resulting in an engine misfire or stall. No owner complaints are on file yet for the model year. Kelley Blue Book's consumer reviews (opens in a new tab) show 12 owners with mostly positive sentiment, and one reviewer describes air conditioning evaporator trouble in the first year that was not covered by warranty and that they felt was a known issue without a recall. For older G80 owners, HyundaiNclub (opens in a new tab) lists infotainment glitches, minor electrical issues and trim or interior quality concerns as the most common reported problems. On a test drive, run the climate control and infotainment for a while and check the recall on the VIN.
2027 G80 against the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class
The G80's 18 to 23 mpg combined and $3,450 to $4,450 a year in fuel on fueleconomy.gov (opens in a new tab) compares with 25 to 31 mpg ($2,550 to $3,200) for the 2027 BMW 5 Series and 25 to 28 mpg ($2,850 to $3,200) for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, so the G80 costs $600 to $1,250 a year more to fuel because it offers no hybrid. The G80 is all-wheel drive only, in a 2.5-liter four-cylinder or a 3.5-liter six.

Record summary
What to know first
2.5T trims use the 300-hp turbo four; 3.5T Sport trims step up to a 375-hp turbo V6.
Model-year note
For 2027 the Electrified G80 (365-hp EV, formerly a sixth trim) was discontinued in the U.S. after just 77 units sold through mid-2025, with the last U.S.-bound unit sold in July 2025, confirmed by multiple independent outlets. It continues in other global markets after a 2026 refresh but is not sold in the U.S. A G80 Hybrid using the Palisade's 2.5L turbo-hybrid powertrain in a long-wheelbase-only configuration has been reported as coming for 2027, but was not confirmed as on sale at last check, so it is not listed as a trim.
