2022 Genesis G80 Sport Prestige Road Test | More prestige than sport:
. This is a big, heavy sedan that feels like a big, heavy sedan in all circumstances. The addition of rear-wheel steering helps turn-in feel quicker, but we still wouldn’t describe it as agile. There’s not much in the way of body roll, but unlike many big cars that shrink around you in a physics-defying manner, the G80 provides no such theatrics. It’s capable and willing to be tossed around, but it’s not a joyous nor fun exercise.
The all-wheel drive system effectively gets power down, but the car doesn’t translate what’s going on at the wheels back to the steering wheel, leaving you largely numb to the road. You can coax a small bit of slip angle with traction control off, but the car is neither eager to do so nor confidence-inspiring once you get there. At least the transmission is eager to please in Sport+, as it’s always shifting down when it can and holding gears as long as possible.
Where this G80 Sport Prestige shines best is when you dial it back into the basic Sport mode, or configure the Individual mode to soften the suspension while keeping everything else in more aggressive settings. Its power is so very satisfying to eat up pavement as you fly up and down a gently curving road — think cruising on Highway, not Tail of the Dragon switchbacks.
Subjected to daily driving duty, the G80 Sport Prestige is excellent, but not perfect. The big sedan has a floaty ride down the highway in Comfort mode, but similar to the, it transmits smaller road imperfections back into the cabin and into its occupants. It’s an odd combination of comfort with a side of annoyance, and we wonder if the slightly stiffer springs or super-low-profile tires are to blame.
