Having launched in Europe, Genesis is now getting ready to expand its G80 model lineup with a new variant, dubbed the G80 Sport.
Set to officially arrive at dealers in the third quarter of the year, the 2021 Genesis G80 Sport brings exclusive looks to the executive sedan, offering “the best value to customers who want to enjoy the perfect balance of ‘Athletic Elegance'", according to the automaker.

Available in a bespoke color called the Cavendish Red, whose name is inspired by a cliffside on the north coast of Prince Edward Island in Canada, it sets itself apart from the base models by featuring things such as the dark glossy chrome grille, 3D wing-shaped front bumper, and black headlamp bezels.

The profile gets more glossy chrome accents, applied to the moldings, exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels, with a G-Matrix pattern and dark look, and black or red brake calipers.

At the back, the 2021 G80 Sport has a new finish for the trunk lid molding, as well as a unique bumper design and a new diffuser. The Genesis lettering still lies between the dual taillights, above the model and drivetrain logos.

Inside, the new G80 Sport features a three-spoke steering wheel, instead of the usual four-spoke design, with metal accents and buttons that provide access to different functions. The dashboard garnish is offered in three different designs, including the exclusive Real Aluminum, Real Carbon, and Diamond-Patterned Hybrid weaving.

New quilted seating designs, with diamond or V pattern styling, will also be available for the cockpit, and customers will have to choose between three exclusive interior color options, like the Black Monotone with Gray or Red stitching or Sevilla Red.

As a final touch, the 2021 Genesis G80 Sport will boast rear-wheel steering, the car firm said, adding that pricing and specification details for selected markets will be announced in due course.
