Genesis G80 vs. Audi RS 7

Technological Sophistication

Your dynamic life may mean you don't have time to enjoy little luxuries, but the Genesis G80 and the Audi RS 7 help reclaim your free time thanks to their integration of wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. These features allow you to sync your smartphone to your sedan, enabling you to catch up on the latest episode of your favorite podcast or listen to a chapter of your current read while on your way to and from work.

When it comes to filtering through these digital features, the Genesis G80 will make it easier and result in less eyestrain. This sedan features a standard 27-inch OLED Integrated Multimedia Screen, compared to the combined 22.4-inch dual-screen displays found in the Audi RS 7. This ultra-wide display of the G80 offers split-screen views of your maps, media, driving information, and more in one cohesive layout.

High-Tech Safety

There’s more to innovation than cinematic displays. The Genesis G80 and the Audi RS 7 each come with driver-assist features that constantly monitor your surroundings and alert you to potential hazards you may have missed. These features boost your behind-the-wheel confidence and allow you to enjoy more laughs with your kids.

They offer similar innovative safety features like:

• Smart Cruise Control
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Lane Keeping Assist

While the G80 makes these features standard, the RS 7 requires an upgrade to the available Driver assistance package to obtain these safety systems.

Another advantage the Genesis G80 has over the Audi RS 7 is Highway Driving Assist 2. This system uses the most advanced features to provide light, hands-free driving capabilities. While the RS 7 comes with features similar to Highway Driving Assist 2, its capabilities aren’t as advanced as those of the G80 and, once again, is only offered with an available upgrade.

Your Haven Awaits

When it’s time to unwind after a long day at work, the Genesis G80 and the Audi RS 7 take two different approaches to relaxation. With its visceral exhaust notes, the RS 7 helps to drown out the outside world with its non-insulated engine. The G80, on the other hand, is designed to turn your drive home into a serene retreat.

Heated front seats help ease back and shoulder tension with the touch of a button. Adding multi-zone climate control capabilities provides comfort for your multi-passenger commutes. While this comes standard with both models, only the G80 comes standard with heated rear seats, providing an extra layer of relaxation for all passengers aboard.

While available with the RS 7, heated rear seats are only included in the Executive package, which includes a handful of features that you may not want or need.

A Smooth, Controlled Commute

Ready to enjoy a truly comfortable commute? You’ll find the Audi RS 7 is engineered to deliver a hair-raising experience with up to 627 horsepower and a blistering 3.3-second acceleration time (0-60 MPH). While opening the throttle and surging down the highway can be a fun experience, is that the daily commute you seek, or do you prefer something more controlled that the whole family will appreciate?

The Genesis G80 is the type of sedan that can be tailored to meet your changing needs. For example, it includes a Drive Mode Select system that adjusts performance benchmarks based on the selected mode.

While each vehicle has an adaptive suspension, only the Genesis G80 comes optionally with the Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview. Benefits of this system include:

• Continuously adjusts the suspension based on real-time road conditions.
• Improves the handling and stability by optimizing shock absorption.
• Minimizes vibrations and jolts, contributing to a more relaxing drive that reduces driver fatigue.

If you seek the most relaxing commute possible, the Genesis G80 is the way to go.

Superior Attention to Detail

As the automotive world shifts toward enhancing the driving experience, it’s more common to see synthetic and genuine leather upholstery as standard amenities. When you drive the Genesis G80 or the Audi RS 7, you’ll experience these features and much more.

Each model can be outfitted with premium accent details. The RS 7 takes the sporty route with its optional carbon twill inlays, while the G80 offers a more sophisticated look and feel with its available wood trim options. A standard or available panoramic sunroof enhances these details during the day. At night, the interior accent trim will glow under ambient lighting, creating an inviting and luxurious atmosphere that envelops you in comfort.

However, while each model is crafted with premium materials, only the Genesis G80 has the distinctive elegance of the refreshed G-Matrix Crest Grille. From its Micro Lens Array Headlamps to the meticulously stitched available leather upholstery, every detail of the G80 radiates opulence and sophistication, transforming the vehicle into a true statement of luxury.

Sporty Elegance

Craving a touch of exhilaration in your luxury sedan? While the Audi RS 7 is designed with the racetrack in mind, the Genesis G80 offers the option to embrace a sportier edge. With the RS 7, the optional Matte carbon package or the available Black optic package add striking exterior elements to enhance the aggression of this vehicle.

The Genesis G80, on the other hand, elevates sporty sophistication with bold design elements. Expect optional features such as:

• Sport alloy wheels
• Monobloc brake calipers
• Sport aluminum cabin trim
• Sport appearance design

For drivers seeking a dynamic transformation inside and out, the Genesis G80 delivers unparalleled sporty aesthetics and performance upgrades without compromising luxury.
