Here’s your first look at the 2022 Genesis G80 Sport. Just as it did before, the Sport model is going to offer a slight increase in driving performance over the standard model. Genesis is making it look the part, too.
Design is the main point for today, as very few details about the car’s performance are available outside of the new photos. That said, Genesis did reveal that it’s adding rear-wheel steering to the Sport. Genesis doesn’t go into detail about its rear-wheel steering system, but does say that it’s designed for “maximizing driving stability.”
About the appearance, though. The main differentiators are in the details. Its grille is darkened with dark glossy chrome to make it look a bit more sinister. The front bumper gets what Genesis is calling a “three-dimensional wing shape” that features a design different from the standard G80 — there’s more grille mesh in the lower bumper. More darkened trim is applied to the headlight bezels and side moldings. Sport-exclusive 20-inch wheels with a “G-Matrix” pattern cover newly black- or red-painted calipers. The rear adopts a new bumper design that integrates a mesh look at the bottom for extra sportiness.
