Genesis Electrified G80 vs. Hyundai IONIQ 6

Potent Power

Launching forward and merging into the fast lane delivers an instant rush, making electric vehicles incredibly rewarding to drive. With near-instant torque, the motors in the Electrified G80 and the IONIQ 6 unleash a satisfying surge of energy every time you press the pedal.

	Electrified G80	IONIQ 6
Engine	272 kW dual motor	168 kW single motor
Horsepower	365 HP	225 HP
Torque	516 lb-ft	258 lb-ft

As the numbers show, the Electrified G80 easily outpaces the IONIQ 6 with a stunning display of electrified strength. Its dual-motor setup amplifies acceleration and boosts overall performance for a more exhilarating drive.

Controlled Strength

Commanding that much power calls for smart systems that make it easy to manage. The Electrified G80 comes standard with dual-motor all-wheel drive, placing one motor at each axle. This configuration intelligently distributes energy to each wheel as needed, enhancing grip and traction in a variety of conditions. The IONIQ 6 comes standard with rear-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available as an upgrade.

When the road gets rough, the Electrified G80 works to smooth things out. It features an Electronically Controlled Suspension with road preview, which scans the road ahead for surface changes, like speed bumps and potholes. By adjusting in real time, this system helps absorb imperfections before you reach them, elevating comfort and increasing confidence. It’s a forward-thinking feature you won’t find in the IONIQ 6.

Smarter Safety, Built In

Advanced driver-assistance systems elevate safety to a more intelligent, responsive level. Using sensors and onboard computing to support your driving instincts, these features help you stay alert and aware while also taking proactive measures, when needed, to help avoid a collision. Both luxury sedans offer brand-specific versions of key safety technologies:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Lane Keeping Assist
• Parking Distance Warning
• Driver Attention Warning

The Electrified G80 adds an extra layer of protection with standard Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist. In addition to alerting you to vehicles in adjacent lanes, it can actively steer to help avoid a potential impact. The IONIQ 6 offers a similar feature, though it’s only available on select trims.

Your Digital Command Center

Central touchscreens serve as the command center for intuitive connectivity. Both models support Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, letting you check messages, stream audio, and more. The IONIQ 6 uses a 12.3-inch HD screen—impressive until you see the alternative. The Electrified G80’s 14.5-inch LCD display with built-in navigation is larger, clearer, and more intuitive, helping you stay focused on the road while accessing everything you need.

Once again, the Genesis Electrified G80 leads in tech by including several standard infotainment features that are either optional or unavailable in the Hyundai IONIQ 6:

• Wireless phone charger
• Wi-Fi hotspot
• Acoustic Laminated Glass

That’s the difference between these two luxury sedans: In the Electrified G80, premium isn’t an upgrade; it’s the starting point to a seamless drive and a truly elevated experience.

Serenity, Standard

Comfort can take many forms: a spa day, a guided meditation, or a stay at a boutique hotel. Slipping behind the wheel may not quite replicate those experiences, but at least one of these luxury EVs offers features designed to bring serenity into your everyday. In the Genesis Electrified G80, those features come standard, no upgrades required.

The Electrified G80 further elevates your wellness on wheels experience with a power cushion extension, power side bolster, and Ergo Motion massagefunctionality in the driver’s seat—all included. Clearly, Genesis and Hyundai diverge in what they consider true luxury.

Everyday Ease

The Genesis Electrified G80 and the Hyundai IONIQ 6 offer practical features designed to simplify life on the go, such as push-button start and Smart Cruise Control with Intelligent Speed Limit Assist. But once again, the Electrified G80 reveals a more considered approach to what “essentials” really means. Let’s just say, Genesis holds itself to a higher standard.

Caught in an unexpected downpour during your morning commute? The Electrified G80’s standard rain-sensing wipersactivate automatically so that you can stay focused on the drive. Misplaced your keys on the way out the door? With the standard Genesis Digital Key, your smartphone becomes your key, capable of unlocking, starting, and even sharing access to your vehicle. In contrast, the IONIQ6 offers these conveniences only as optional upgrades.
