Electric vehicles (EVs) are powerful machines capable of intense force. It’s always been a hallmark among sports cars, and the introduction of electricity makes drives smoother and cleaner. Since each car has immense power to unleash, control becomes even more important.
The Electrified G80 and the i5 share similar architecture. Each model uses dual electric motors for an enhanced all-wheel drive and a revolutionary single-speed transmission for dynamic acceleration. Once you’re up to speed, keeping your vehicle under control becomes vital, and any extra advantage becomes welcome.
Only the Electrified G80 includes the state-of-the-art Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview. It uses a front-facing camera to detect irregularities in the pavement, like bumps or divots, and braces the suspension accordingly. You can drive confidently as your car prepares itself for the road ahead.
Rather than traditional mileage, EVs are measured by their range. How far you can travel on a single charge determines how much journeying you can do between pit stops. Greater range is always beneficial, as you can spend more of your trip on the highway.
On a full charge, the Electrified G80 can travel an EPA-estimated 282 miles, easily outpacing the 248-mile range of the i5.* Thanks to the efficiency of Genesis, you can confidently pass by charging stations and enjoy more time behind the wheel. When it’s time to pull over, you can recharge the Electrified G80 in as few as 22 minutes at a DC Fast Charge station for added convenience.
A luxury car should cater to your senses and create the ultimate experience. When you and your passengers are relaxed and cared for, your trip will be more enjoyable. From initial design to finishing touches, it takes smart thinking to make a comfortable cabin.
Once you take your seat, the first thing you’ll do is stretch out to get comfortable. A spacious cockpit will help you get settled before a long day out on the road. The Electrified G80 gives drivers more room to maneuver in key areas, making it a wise choice for your future behind the wheel.

Whether you’re heading out in the chilly early hours or it’s high noon with the sun beating down, the weather will affect your ride. The Electrified G80 and the i5 have heated and ventilated front seats to relax you and your copilot. Your back-seat passengers will want to have their own temperature control, too, and only Genesis has an added system with them in mind.
The available 3-zone climate system gives riders more ways to stay cool (or warm) in the Electrified G80. The rear row gains its own temperature setting, allowing everyone to set their preferred temperatures freely. The i5 only offers dual-zone climate controls for the front seats.
Robust and innovative features complete the luxury car experience. Both models have various systems that make driving more fun and secure, making it a highlight of your day. When it comes to these amenities, it’s as simple as “more is better.”
Driver-assistive technologies work alongside your safe driving habits to help keep you and your riders secure. The Electrified G80 and the i5 have many similar systems that create a ring of protection around you. These technologies can make a significant difference when the unexpected happens:
The Electrified G80 takes things further with its standard Safe Exit Assist. When you park on the street, the system will alert you to oncoming traffic, ensuring you know when it’s safe to step out. Whether you’re in on-street parking or public lots, this extra system will help keep you and your car safer.
Once you arrive at your destination, you’ll want to protect your car. When your investment is secure, you can be on your way with peace of mind. The experts at Genesis have developed another way to make life easy.
The available Remote Smart Parking Assist lets the Electrified G80 take over parking duty. You can step out and activate the system to watch the vehicle pull into tight spaces and shift into Park. It’s one less thing for you to do and only found with the Genesis.
The Genesis Electrified G80 is a clear victor among electric sports cars. Its intense performance and revolutionary features make it the center of attention every time you drive through Irvine, Laguna Niguel, or Mission Viejo, CA.
