[8][9][10] The Russian market release in 2017 included a 2.0-liter Theta turbocharged engine that produced 180 kW (245 PS), eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.

The vehicle also comes standard with the Ultimate trim, technology package, heads-up display, panoramic sunroof, suede liner and Napa leather.

[22] The brand claims 19 percent of the new platform uses aluminum, saving 243 lb (110 kg) compared to the previous model which used steel.

Compared to the outgoing G80, the new model has increased tensile strength by 6 percent due to the usage of high-strength steel in both the A and B pillars, floor crossmembers and rocker panels.

The horizontal layout of the dashboard was inspired by what the brand calls “Beauty of White Space”, which is Genesis’ interior styling design that is made to give the vehicle a "South Korean feel".

Updates include micro-lens array headlight technology, a new grille pattern and front bumper, and redesigned alloy wheels.

The rear bumper now features hidden exhaust outlets with "V-shape" chrome trim, reminiscent of the battery electric G80 variant.

The interior changes include a 27-inch OLED display, replacing the separate 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 14.5-inch infotainment system, powering the brand's latest CCIC software first seen in the GV60 small SUV and flagship G90 sedan.

It also introduces a "crystal-like" shift-by-wire gear shifter, a touch-based climate control panel, revised trim, and a new steering wheel.

The G80 Sport adds a unique "double-layered G-Matrix pattern" grille, larger air outlets, different front and rear bumpers, a D-cut steering wheel, and two carbon-look interior garnishes.

[29] The interior contains recycled materials, including leather made with natural dye (seats, console and rear seat armrests), scrap wood produced after making furniture ("forged wood" garnish) and thread spun from plastic bottles.

[48] Hyundai attributes flagging US sales in 2018 to disagreements among its dealership networks that caused deliberate dwindling supplies, not on reduced consumer demand.
