This is a two-story optics, and a huge «shield» of the radiator grille, and compact stern, and bright decor on the front fenders.

Salon

The 2021 Genesis G80’s five-seater cabin is clearly designed for four, due to the high center tunnel and the shape of the sofa, ready to comfortably accommodate two VIPs.
