However, what really makes the Genesis is its highly economical dosage of raw power. Look beneath the hood, and you’ll find a 3.8-liter V6 engine that delivers 311 horsepower and 293 pound-feet of torque. There are more engine options all the way up to the 5.0 Ultimate’s 420-horsepower V8. The Genesis G80 offers crisp handling with sport-tuned suspension in addition to features such as power-adjustable seats, traffic-adapting cruise control, automatic wipers, a rearview camera, xenon headlights and more.
