The Genesis Electrified G80 appears to have been discontinued in the United States after being removed from the company's website.
The Electrified G80 was set for a notable refresh for 2026 that included a 5.1-inch-longer wheelbase.
The electric version of the G80 sedan arrived for the 2023 model year and saw its sales dwindle, with just 77 units sold in the first half of 2025.
Last summer, Genesis pulled the covers off the refreshed Electrified G80, giving its electric sedan snazzier styling and a 5.1-inch-longer wheelbase. The updated model also gained a new 27.0-inch OLED screen that merges the gauge cluster and infotainment system into one unit. Those upgrades, sadly, will remain forbidden fruit, since it now appears that the Electrified G80 sedan is being discontinued in the United States.
The Electrified G80 no longer appears on the Genesis consumer website, as first reported by InsideEVs. While a Genesis spokesperson confirmed the EV G80's demise to that outlet, we have also reached out to Genesis for confirmation and will update this story when we hear back.
The Electrified G80 arrived for the 2023 model year, sporting a design that was nearly identical to the gas-powered G80 sedan. Under the skin, the Electrified G80 traded an internal-combustion engine for an 87-kWh battery pack and a pair of electric motors that produced 365 horsepower. The sedan was good for an EPA-estimated 282 miles of range and impressively nearly matched that result in our 75-mph highway range test, achieving 280 miles on a charge.
The Electrified G80 was never a big seller for Genesis. While it found 1329 buyers in 2023, that total dropped to just 397 sales in 2024 and continued to dwindle, with just 77 examples finding homes through the first half of 2025. That's just over half as many Electrified G80s were sold in the first six months of 2024. Basically, the electric sedan was Genesis's least popular model for the last two years.
The fate of the Electrified G80 likely wasn't helped by the fact that it is, like all the gas-powered G80s, assembled in South Korea. While South Korea and the United States recently struck a deal to cap import tariffs on Korean-made cars at 15 percent, rather than the 25 percent threatened by President Donald Trump, that figure will still bring increased costs for Korean automakers, as there previously wasn't a tariff on Korean-made cars. For a slow-selling model like the Electrified G80, it likely isn't worth it for Genesis to eat the cost of the tariff.
