The 2018 Genesis G80: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2018 Genesis G80 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2018 Genesis G80, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
What to check on the G80
Owners filed 97 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, unknown or other and steering; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain to know here is the 3.8L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated 10.9 L/100 km combined: about 33 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $16.90 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Living with the G80
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the G80 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Try the G80 on your commute, then decide. Rent the G80 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.90 in fuel.
