Genesis has revealed its updated 2026 G80 sedan range, introducing a revised line-up crowned by a new flagship, the G80 Black. The refreshed model family continues the brand’s focus on design-led luxury and now aligns with the wider Genesis portfolio by adopting the Signature naming convention.

The Australian range will comprise three variants: the 2.5T rear-wheel drive Signature, the 3.5T all-wheel drive Signature Sport, and the range-topping 3.5T AWD G80 Black, which is based on the Signature specification but distinguished by unique styling.

Externally, the 2026 G80 retains its elegant proportions but receives a subtle update at the front, further refining the model’s sophisticated look. Inside, the G80 Black becomes the most dramatic expression of the Genesis “Athletic Elegance” philosophy. It is offered exclusively with a monochrome Black exterior and black Nappa leather interior.

Genesis says its designers experimented with multiple finishes and textures of black across different materials, carefully assessing how each responded to light and how they combined with other surfaces. The result, the company claims, is a distinctive ambience crafted with precision and attention to detail.

Head of Genesis Motors Australia, Justin Douglass, said the addition of the G80 Black broadens the appeal of the sedan range.

“The striking new G80 Black brings even greater sophistication and appeal to our sedan line-up,” he said. “With a choice of powertrains and richly equipped grades, and a dramatic new flagship, 2026 G80 will appeal to a broad range of discerning buyers.”
