SPYSHOTS: The next generation of the Genesis G80 is here

See the right (passenger) side tail light, it has intense brake lighting shining through the tape. Maybe it's a horseshoe (U-shaped) design? It might look more like the current G80's tails than we think.

These were extremely early prototype models. Does are not the P1 or P2 light housing or LED Set up.

Well we don't know anything for certain just yet. Most folks here are stating that we will see the 2.5T and 3.5T engines introduced in the new G80 but we don't know for sure. Who's to say that a V8 is out of the question.

The V8 is completely out of the picture. CEO of Genesis Manfred Fritzgerald stated in an interview that the 5.0 V8 will be dropped completely for the G80 and will then slowly be phased out of the G90. I believe it was posted on an Article of Car and Driver.

I had no idea but good to know. Here's hoping that the G80 will in fact have the 2.5 and 3.5t's and not the current 3.3t.

All fine, but to reiterate are we expecting the final design to be radically different than previous versions? (I'm asking genuinely because I don't personally believe it to be so.)

Just may take, no insider info. Lets call the masked man Gen 3

If you look at Gen 1 and Gen 2 side by side, you can easily tell they are cousins. Sure, the changes are obvious but you can see the family resemblance. When you put the Gen 2 and upcoming Gen 3 side by side, I'm thinking you'll look and say looks like you have a brother. I think the profile will be closer, grill will be a derivative, lights may be the most radical change.

Of course, I could be very wrong too.

For earlier generations indeed. But what about the previous masked versions of the Gen 3 prototype?

I'm thinking the current masked prototype hasn't changed much from the previous masked versions of said prototype. I was basing some design assumptions on previous spy shots. However, a few posters suggested that the final revealed version of the Gen 3 might be different enough to not assume some design functions. I agree, but only in part as I just don't see the designs straying so far from what we've seen so far.

But I could be wrong myself

If you look at these most recent spyshots already posted, the taillight design is completely different from the camoed G80 from back in September. The last image is smaller but it looks like the taillights are on. The September G80 looks almost definitely like it used halogen because of the look of gradual brightness from a single light source; most LED taillights are the line style like Audi, which don't "radiate" brightness and have a more defined shape from the light. The earlier G80 prototypes likely focused on larger scope changes, like adjusting driving dynamics through chassis components, and used placeholder parts for smaller scale or external components, like the lights or grill. Those smaller components wouldn't be locked in for production yet because larger scale things like the body style were still not finalized.

^Okay that definitely makes more sense to me now thank you. I didn't realize the shapes were not finalized yet and, in all honesty, I'm really hoping the two separate ribbons aren't actually a part of the final design...

Hm, well we’ll have to wait until reveal then if details have been slightly changed or modified. o:

The spyshot you attached does look like it has a protruding outline indicating a bigger grill border, but the weird thing is that the protrusion doesn't continue below the license plate and has grill where there should be the border continuing. So that would mean the camoed car only has the border for the entire grill except below the license plate, which doesn't make sense. I don't think the grill border may have been installed in early spyshots and it's hard to say if it would be inside the grill opening or on the outer edge. The part with the green line seems to be an individual piece not connected to anything else... I can't say for sure what it is.

I re-did it better, does this address the line that didn't continue?

these renders look pretty good.

Going to disagree - that's one of the worst renders.

Here's a 3D modeling that's pretty good.

As for the 2.5T, the G80 is supposed to be the 1st model to get it.

Would much rather see the 3.5T be the V6 option at the start as well.

I agree with that render the most. And the 3.5TT better be available the first year the new G80 is out, or I'm definitely holding off on buying.

The 3d rendering looks ok. My comments below are on the rendering.

1. I like the back. Its clear they are aiming for a 4-door "coupe" body. The back reminds me of the CLS or S5 sportback. The dual, separate tail lamps work in this configuration because, 4-door coupes tend to have a more svelte rear and the g80 tail lamps does not have to break up a ton of room back there. Having separate, horizontal lamps on each end makes the car look wider and give it more presence.

2. I'm still so-so about the front. The larger grill seems to work with the short overhangs and gives the front a nice, "blunt" end. What bothers me is that they could have done a more layered approach to the front bottom fender, rather than just stuff an LED within some chicken wire. Also, i wish the part of the headlamps that meets the grill, had a more organic flow into the shape of the grill.

I believe it’s going to be radically different from the Gen 1 and Gen 2 models. This models seems more of a fast back then a big saloon sedan.

I apologize, I was not too clear. I wasn't trying to talk about the lines you drew themselves but rather the parts that they indicate. So let me explain why the grill border is hard to define at this point from the pictures we currently have:

- In the camoed images, there is indeed an outline/indent in the camo around the grill that looks like the border. This was approximately marked with your green line. However, it doesn't make sense for this to be a border because below the license plate, where the hypothetical border should continue, there is empty space.

- The triangular piece at the very bottom point of the grill looks like a individual separate piece not connected to anything. It looks like it should be part of the grill border, but it looks like literally a random triangle shape just wedged in there and is not connected to anything (see point above of the border not continuing below the license plate).

- We can't say for sure if the production-equivalent grill border was installed at that prototype stage or not. The grill itself is obviously a plastic placeholder for many images, and even the metal grills don't have the plastic cruise control panel hidden into the grill so those may not be finalized either. So the grill design, and in turn the border design and size, may not be accurate to the final design.

- The camoed images have the grill shape and opening clearly outlined. But we wouldn't know if the eventual border will be inside the grill opening or on its outer edges, which has a big impact on how big the grill will appear to an observer.

My comment you quoted was in reference to the previous prototype versions of the Gen 3 model. With that said, I think the Gen 3 model most certainly will be very different from previous Gens, and it does look fast back-ish (something I like and I think the Stinger pulled off nicely!).

I’m getting a Hyundai xg350 vibe from this redesign

New images for the interior. Looks amazing they also replaced the old gear switch with different one...

I think so it's chrome trim check these two images they are old...

Looks very promising, I cannot wait until the camo comes off!

What do you folks think the cluster and infotainment system will be like? The more i see these new spyshots, i'm thinking they will not do the 3D cluster but rather a hybrid analog and digitial screen. Something like what porsche does on their newer models.

I'm also envisioning a widescreen infotainment system, 10-12 inches with a brand new OS - not the current Hyundai system with an overlay (like the g90).
