Taking a Close Look at the Award-winning and Upgraded Genesis Sedans
While some automakers discontinued their midsize luxury sedans in the last year, Genesis was busy upping the ante with the 2021 Genesis G80. The young luxury brand has also added features to its popular compact luxury sedan, the 2021 Genesis G70. Both vehicles come well-appointed with two engine choices along with a choice of RWD and AWD. Both models and their various trims are available at Crown Genesis, where we invite you to see the luxurious and stunning 2021 Genesis G80 and the sporty and well-appointed 2021 Genesis G70.
Exterior & Interior Design
The redesigned 2021 Genesis G80 has a roomy interior with an incredibly spacious backseat. Its well-appointed interior features available beveled silver trim with rich, matte wood-grain accents. Quilted Nappa leather is available on the RWD models, standard on the AWD models. The available massive sunroof offers a panoramic view from the front and rear seats. In the tranquil Korean style, the interior dash also has plenty of clean, open space.
The exterior of the 2021 Genesis G80 redefines sexy. The aggressively muscular styling paired with curves in all the right places will turn heads for all the right reasons. The honeycomb grille feature is echoed on the wheels.
If you prefer a slightly smaller luxury sedan, the compact 2021 Genesis G70 is a top choice. With several awards in previous model years, the 2021 G70 is expected to draw all the right attention, too. It has similar lines to the G80, but with a sportier edge. The cockpit of the G70 features a command center outlined in exquisite materials like available quilted Nappa leather and subtle contrast stitching.
Impressive Performance & Responsible Fuel Efficiency
Both Genesis sedans come with two engine options that deliver athletic performance and respectable fuel economy.
The 2021 Genesis G80 has a standard 2.5L turbocharged inline-4 that comes with either RWD or available AWD. This luxurious sedan also has an available 3.5L Twin-turbocharged V6 with both drivetrain options. The 2.5L engine gets an EPA-estimated 23/32 MPG, while the V6 gets an EPA-estimated 20/30. Fuel economy ratings have improved on the 2021 G80. When it comes to power, the 2.5L motor has 300 horsepower, while the V6 delivers an upgraded 375 horsepower.
The slightly smaller 2021 Genesis G70 also comes with a four-cylinder and V6. The 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 has 252 horsepower, and the 3.3L Twin-turbocharged V6 gets 365 horsepower. When it comes to fuel economy, the 2.0L gets an EPA-estimated 22/30 while the V6 gets 17/26.
If you enjoy driving a manual transmission, the G70 offers an available manual shifter on the 2.0L engine. The rest comes with an 8-speed automatic with manual shifters on the steering wheel. The G80 only comes with an 8-speed automatic, also with shifting paddles on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. No matter the engine, drivetrain, or transmission, these two beautifully appointed vehicles are exhilarating to drive.
High-Tech Driver-Assist Safety Features
Both the 2021 Genesis G70 and G80 have sophisticated driver-assist safety features. As a 2020 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+, the 2021 G70 provides similar safety features. The standard Forward Collision-Assist, Smart Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Blind-Spot Collision Warning are just the beginning of the G70. The 2021 G80 has the same well-appointed safety features while adding an available Forward Attention Warning with an infrared camera along with Safe Exit Assist for safety when exiting the vehicle.
Posh Infotainment and Tech Features
Both the 2021 Genesis G80 and G70 have high-tech entertainment and convenience features that please drivers.
The 2021 Genesis G70 has a standard 8-inch touchscreen infotainment center with available Touchscreen navigation, a Heads-up Display, and Surround-View Monitor are available. The G70 also has an available LEXICON® Premium Audio System with 15 speakers and Quantum Logic® Surround Sound.

Both models come with five years of complimentary roadside assistance for the ultimate in convenience and safety.
Standing Out from the Competition
The compact and midsize luxury-sedan markets are filled with competitive makes and models.
While the midsize market is shrinking, the 2021 Genesis G80 is separating itself from the competition with the two impressive engine choices with respectable fuel economy. The luxurious interior with well-appointed tech features and sophisticated materials also sets the G80 apart from the crowd. With the newly designed exterior and the spacious interior, the refreshing beauty of the broad and curvy G80 turns heads.
The compact luxury of the G70 is anything but small. With an equally beautiful exterior, the 2021 Genesis G70 will turn just as many heads as the G80. The G70 stands apart from its competition with its impressive safety features and high-tech infotainment center.
It’s time to put the Genesis G70 and G80 on your radar. At Crown Genesis, we know the 2021 Genesis G80 and 2021 Genesis G70, and we are ready to introduce you to these sophisticated, stylish, and powerful luxury sedans. Contact us to schedule your test drive today.
