It has been 18 months since the Genesis brand officially embarked on its Australian operations, and perhaps the best marker of its evolution in that time is the third-generation Genesis G80 that lands in Australia this month.The 2020 model heralds a full-scale overhaul in terms of styling, technology and drivetrains for the Korean luxury aspirant as it ramps up its battle with Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, along with other premium marques.It’s certainly come a long way from the original ‘Hyundai Genesis’ that was sold in Australia before the G80 took its place as a cornerstone model for the standalone brand.Available in two grades, the G80 starts from $84,900 plus on-road costs. According to Genesis, it offers 15 per cent more value than the German triumvirate plus 20 per cent more standard features.Let’s find out what else the G80 has to offer, in addition to the value equation.
