Abstract

As mentioned, the big battery pack under the floor, coupled with the rear motor, eats into cabin space; the Electrified G80 sports 7.0 cubic feet less passenger volume and 2.3 cubic feet less cargo volume compared to the gas G80. Riding on Genesis' M3 platform, the electric 2023 G80 throws out the standard G80's somewhat lackluster gas engines and running gear and in their place plops in a permanent-magnet electric motor at each axle and a big 87.2-kWh battery pack under the raised floor. PROS Looks great without rubbing its EV-ness in your face • Refined and powerful • Long legs and quick-charging capability CONS Sometimes-uncomfortable driving position • Battery and motors eat into space • Shares infotainment with non-luxe products In our experience, vehicles that serve up both gas and electric powertrain options are masters of none.
