  • Capable and luxurious, read on to learn what sets these two premium sedans apart.

The 2025 Genesis sedan lineup is brimming with luxury and sophistication, and two models stand out the most: the Genesis G70 compact sedan and the G80 mid-sized executive sedan. Both models blend elegance with performance, yet they cater to different driving preferences. If you’re shopping for a high-end sedan at Genesis of Springfield, VA, you may find yourself torn between these two head-turners. But don’t worry—we’re here to break it down for you!

Performance and Fuel Economy

Genesis G70:

The 2025 Genesis G70 is the sportier sibling, built for those who crave nimble handling and a dynamic drive. The G70 comes standard with a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, delivering a punchy 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. For those wanting more muscle, the available 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 cranks up the power to 365 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. Whether you’re zipping through city streets or hitting the highway, the G70 delivers quick acceleration and responsive handling.

Genesis G80:

The G80, on the other hand, brings a more refined approach to performance. Its base engine, a 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, is shared with the G70, but in this case, it’s tuned more for smoothness than outright speed. A 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 is also available, providing 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque for those who want an extra burst of power, but it’s still delivered with grace rather than aggression.

Interior Comfort and Features

Genesis G70:

High-quality materials are found throughout the 2025 Genesis G80, with genuine Nappa leather upholstery available in higher trims, Suede headliner, along with contrast stitching that enhances the sporty aesthetic. The front seats are power-adjustable, heated, and ventilated, giving you the perfect setup for year-round comfort.

Though it’s compact, the G70 doesn’t skimp on comfort. The 16-way power driver’s seat with memory settings makes it easy to find your ideal driving position, while 4-way lumbar support ensures you stay comfortable during long drives. Rear passengers get less space, especially in legroom, but for a compact sport sedan, this is expected. Still, the rear seats feature a split-folding design for added cargo versatility, allowing you to expand the already adequate 10.5 cubic feet of trunk space.

Genesis G80:

With significantly more cabin space, the G80wraps passengers in exclusive wood trim, polished aluminum accents, and suede headliner. Standard 12-way power-adjustable, heated front seats are wrapped in premium leather, with ventilation as an available option. Opt for the top-end trims, and you’ll enjoy quilted Nappa leather upholstery that elevates the sense of luxury even further. Rear passengers are treated to generous legroom—38.7 inches, to be exact—making the G80 an ideal choice for those who frequently have adult passengers or clients riding along.

But the real showstopper is the available Ergo Motion massaging driver’s seat, which offers multiple modes to help you relax during long commutes or road trips. Rear passengers can also indulge in heated seats, while an optional power rear sunshade and manual rear side-window shades add privacy and comfort, especially on sunny days.

Standout Features: What Sets Them Apart?
