Elegant & Classy Style

When it comes to exterior style, the Genesis G80 is in a class of its own. The elegant and classy looks have been widely praised, which contrasts with the criticism of the Lexus GS’ lackluster styling. The Genesis G80 also has numerous exterior features that the Lexus GS doesn’t. For example, the 2018 G80 has standard HID headlights, which are considered to be the most advanced and effective headlights available today. The Genesis G80 even has a standard hands- free liftgate, which is a feature seen more commonly on family SUVs. Including this feature in a luxury sedan is a stroke of genius that is absent on the Lexus sedan. One of the most interesting exterior features on the Genesis G80 is the standard rain-sensing wiper technology. A similar feature is an expensive option on the Lexus GS.
