When it comes to luxury vehicles, the Genesis G80 and Lexus ES 350 are prepared to wow. Along with providing an unforgettable driving experience, you want your sedan to stand out from the crowd.
The Genesis G80 is designed to draw your eye in. Its seamless athletic and elegant blend is guaranteed to turn heads as you race by. Both the G80 and the ES 350 include panoramic sunroofs, so you’ll have that warm California sun shining on every trip behind the wheel.
The Lexus has 17-inch twin-V-spoke alloy wheels that provide excellent traction. However, the Genesis outshines in this category with its available 20-inch five-spoke alloy wheels that come wrapped in either all-season or summer tires. Boasting both style and high performance, your Genesis can confidently speed down the open road.
With a luxury vehicle by your side, you want to know that you can make a statement on any road. You want to cruise down the highway, zip around local streets, and turn heads at every corner. The Genesis G80 and the Lexus ES 350 have the power to make that happen.
The G80 comes standard with a 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, while the Lexus ES 350 starts out with a 3.5L V6 engine. Both engines can reach the 300-horsepower mark, but the G80 leads in torque with 311 lb-ft, while the ES 350 boasts just 267 lb-ft of torque.
However, with its available 3.5L V6 Turbo engine, the Genesis G80 takes the lead, delivering an impressive 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. Compared to the Lexus engine, this kind of power can take you further.
When it comes to your driving experience, a luxurious cabin is a must to keep you and your passengers comfortable. Which interior has more luxury features?
Starting with the G80, you can easily relax into the standard heated front seats. Want even more comfort from your seats? Choose the available ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. Plus, enjoy a personally customized temperature with the available 3-zone climate control system.
The ES 350 has its own set of luxury cabin features, such as the dual-zone automatic climate control system. It also has available heated and ventilated seats, but it doesn’t have the heated rear seats or 3-zone climate control that the G80 does.
What’s more luxurious than a car that remembers what you like? The Genesis Cloud-Based Profile automatically sets your preferred seat position, sound systems, navigation settings, and more to create a seamless transition onto the road.
The available Lexus Memory System can remember some driver preferences, such as seat and steering wheel position, but it lacks the advanced features of the cloud-based memory of the Genesis.
To help you stay connected while behind the wheel, the Genesis and Lexus sedans offer quite a lot of technology features within their respective cabins. The G80 includes a massive 14.5-inch touchscreen on the dashboard, while the Lexus ES 350 offers an 8-inch touchscreen in its cabin.
Each sedan includes connectivity features like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. These systems will integrate your phone into the touchscreen, so you can use it to access your apps, contacts, text messages, media library, and more from the road!
There are also a number of available technology features in both sedans. The G80, for example, has an available 12.3-inch 3D Digital Instrument Cluster to display all essential driver information.
Both the Genesis and the Lexus include a Head-Up Display, which projects information on the dash to help you keep your eyes safely on the road. However, the Lexus Head-Up Display is 10.2 inches, while the Genesis offers an expansive 12-inch display for better viewing.
By now, you’re pretty familiar with both the G80 and the ES 350 with what they offer and what they can do. You’re also well aware of how they differ, and that the Genesis G80 has a bit more to offer than the Lexus ES 350 in each of these categories. How can you be sure this is the right luxury sedan for you?
