Overview

  • Genesis confirmed it will not offer the Electrified G80 for the 2025 model year in North America, quietly removing it from its U.S. website.
  • The sedan recorded just 397 sales in 2024 and 77 in the first half of 2025, making it the slowest-selling EV in the brand’s portfolio.
  • The G80 Electrified used an ICE-derived platform rather than a purpose-built EV architecture, diverging from industry trends favoring dedicated electric designs.
  • President Donald Trump’s proposed 15% tariff on South Korean imports risked raising prices for the G80 Electrified and other Korean-made EVs.
  • With the G80 gone, Genesis now offers only the GV60 and the U.S.-assembled Electrified GV70 as its fully electric options.
