2025 Genesis G80 Black Edition: A Luxury Sedan That Turns Heads

[ 광고 ] 2025 Genesis G80 Black Edition Launches!

Hello, I'm Double View, an automotive influencer.

Recently, I visited the Hyundai Motor Studio after work to check out the Genesis G80 Black Edition.

My wife and I are considering purchasing a sedan, and we preferred the luxurious and unique design of the Black Edition.

Seeing it in person definitely felt different from viewing it in photos.

Today, I’ll share various information about the G80 Black Edition, including its design, specifications, and a mock estimate.

Luxury class on display! 2025 Genesis G80 Black Edition

The Genesis Black Edition previously applied to the G90, GV80, and GV80 Coupe models, and now it has captured attention with its application to the G80.

The model received the most popularity at the Hyundai Motor Studio in Goyang that day, attracting interest from both adults and children.

Children even asked, “Dad, can we buy this car?”

In person, the Black Edition features a pearl-infused black color that enhances its luxurious feel. The GENESIS lettering appears in dark metallic black.

The exclusive 20-inch wheels, designed in black from the floating wheel caps to the brake calipers, perfectly express the side silhouette with elegance.

The interior features exclusive black materials and patterns, showcasing the finest comfort with dedicated Prime Napa leather.

The black-exclusive Napa leather seats come with a unique quilting design, while the console and door garnishes emphasize a special feel with black ash wood trim.

The black-exclusive design offers a substantial weight compared to standard models, allowing drivers to enjoy the luxury class's top-tier specifications.

While the price is higher than existing models, the Black Edition's popularity likely stems from its uniqueness and luxury.

Giving up on the Benz E-Class for the 2025 Genesis G80 Black Edition?

A friend of mine recently purchased a G90 Black Edition. He considered the Benz S-Class but decided after seeing the G90 in person.

Business professionals in South Korea may feel uncomfortable with imported vehicles, especially those with a high proportion of domestic client transactions. Some intentionally choose to buy domestic cars.

Of course, not everyone does this; some make such choices based on necessity.

One of my acquaintances recently considered the Benz E-Class as a business sedan, but after seeing the Genesis G80 Black Edition launched last month, he changed his mind.

He evaluated the design, performance, and economic aspects, noting that the 2025 Genesis G80 Black Edition stands out, except for the prestige associated with German imports.

Depending on personal evaluation criteria, choices may vary.

What is the price of the 2025 Genesis G80 Black? Specifications and mock estimate information

The price for the Genesis G80 Black AWD model is based on the gasoline turbo 2.5 with a 3.5% reduction in individual consumption tax.

The gasoline turbo 2.5 model is priced at 8,149,000 KRW (approximately 6,080 USD), while the gasoline turbo 3.5 model costs 8,573,000 KRW (approximately 6,440 USD).

My friend chose the G80 Black gasoline turbo 2.5 AWD model over the Benz E-Class E300 4MATIC, noting that the price difference exceeds 10,000,000 KRW (approximately 7,570 USD), making it an economical and rational choice.

Let’s check the mock estimate for the 2025 Genesis G80 Black gasoline turbo 2.5 AWD.Vehicle price: 8,149,000 KRW (approximately 6,080 USD)

Acquisition tax: 519,000 KRW (approximately 390 USD)

Bond discount: 84,000 KRW (approximately 63 USD)

=> Mock estimate information: 8,756,000 KRW (approximately 6,610 USD)

If you add recommended options like a panoramic sunroof (1,380,000 KRW or approximately 1,040 USD) and a built-in cam package (840,000 KRW or approximately 630 USD),

the final purchase mock estimate will be 8,994,000 KRW (approximately 6,770 USD).

Ultimately, you can experience the premium quality of Genesis for under 9,000,000 KRW (approximately 6,780 USD) with this mid-size sedan.

The final purchase price under 9,000,000 KRW (approximately 6,780 USD) may feel burdensome for some, but for those individuals, I recommend the KS Autoplan's long-term rental or leasing options, which allow quick vehicle delivery without the initial cost burden.

Business owners can also benefit from tax-saving effects through expense processing, and they can easily handle this with the help of KS Autoplan's dedicated business consultants.

Genesis has now added the Black Edition to its lineup of premium models, including the G90, G80, and GV80 Coupe, to cater to diverse customer needs.

Expectations are rising for the GV70 to also feature a Black Edition, indicating the high level of public interest.

My wife and I were considering the G80 Sport Package design, but since seeing the Black Edition, we have been leaning towards it.

My wife mentioned that she is drawn to the unique design that is not common, and it seems she is captivated by the black-exclusive design applied throughout.

I believe we will share our final decision on the model in the second quarter.
