Genesis

The Genesis G80 carries over into the 2019 model year with few changes. For 2019, the available 3.8 Sport Package offers visual differentiation to G80 models equipped with the 3.8-liter V-6 engine. Taking cues from G80 3.3T, the 3.8 Sport Package enhances the G80 exterior with copper-accented center wheel cap surrounds, sport front and rear bumper covers and rocker molding, dark chrome grille surround and window trim, and dual exhaust tips. Unique 19-inch wheels are shod on all-season tires. Inside, sport pedals and a sport steering wheel complete the package.

Across the G80 3.8 range, an upgraded, 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration replaces the prior-year model's head unit. A 9.2-inch touchscreen navigation system remains optional.
