2021 Genesis G80 price and specs: Diesel option added from $87,900 before on-road costs
Genesis' flagship sedan in Australia can now be had with a diesel, joining four- and six-cylinder petrol options.
Not keen on petrol power? The 2021 Genesis G80 range now offers a diesel option.
Joining the existing 2.5-litre and 3.5-litre turbo-petrol variants of Genesis' large sedan, G80 buyers can now opt for a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder option, priced from $87,900 before on-road costs – a $3000 premium over the entry-level G80 2.5T.
Outputs are rated at 154kW and 442Nm (from 1750-2750rpm), sent exclusively to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Genesis claims a combined fuel economy claim of 6.6L/100km.
The engine features a range of technologies intended to reduce emissions and improve noise, vibration and harshness, including a first-for-Genesis selective catalytic reduction system (SCR) that neutralises harmful exhaust gasses to minimise emissions.
