In addition to this, the tail light setup has also been offered a similar outlook where the indicators run in parallel to the LED strip units.
The roofline of the sedan has been offered a coupe-like stance while the side profile is accentuated by notable accents on the body panels. The spoiler is well integrated with the rear while the use of chrome on the body panels further adds to the premium outlook.
Coming to the interiors, the brand has equipped the Genesis G80 with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that is placed just behind the Hyundai-inspired steering wheel. The cabin is further equipped with a 14.5-inch infotainment screen that has been positioned elegantly on the wooden dashboard.
The gear knob inside the cabin has been imparted a shiny crystal-like finishing while the overall unique colour schemes for the upholstery adds to the luxurious stance. Other notable features offered to the premium sedan include the likes of autonomous braking, active cruise control, active blind-spot monitoring and more.
