Production

The Genesis G80 was manufactured in Ulsan, Korea. Between 2015 and 2018 worldwide sales of the G80 were 127,283.[21] Hyundai Motor America sold 6,166 units in 2016, 16,214 units in 2017, and 7,663 units in 2018 in the United States.[22] Hyundai attributes flagging US sales in 2018 to disagreements among its dealership networks that caused deliberate dwindling supplies, not on reduced consumer demand.[23] Its competitors for the midsize luxury segment include the Audi A6, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Lexus GS, Jaguar XF, Infiniti Q70, Volvo S90, Acura RLX and Cadillac CTS.
