Genesis G80 vs Lexus ES 350h
Compare the Lexus ES 350h AWD vs. the Genesis G80
The Lexus ES 350h is the latest version of the popular ES Sedan series. Featuring a hybrid or all-electric powertrain, the new Lexus ES 350h for sale gives you plenty of options to conquer the road. There are many worthy competitors to the Lexus ES 350h, but we thought you would like to see how it compares to the Genesis G80.
It is the latest in a long line of Lexus vehicles, available right now at Napleton's Lexus of Milwaukee.
How do they compare?
The Lexus ES 350h and the Genesis G80 are both midsized five-passenger, four-door sedans. The G80 offers 2 standard gas options while the ES offers 1 hybrid and 2 fully electric models. In the case of the Lexus, expect to receive 203 horsepower for the Hybrid and 338 horsepower for the highest trim electric ES 500e. The Genesis G80 and its 2.5-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine supply 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. I also offers an optional 3.5L twin-turbo V6 generating 375 horsepower
That's admittedly a maximum difference of 37 horsepower that the Genesis has over the Lexus. However, when you consider the 43 mpg that the 300h gets or not having to pay for gas at all, at a considerably lower cost, then the ES models become very appealing.
Which looks better?
Let's call this the grapple of the grilles. The Lexus ES 350h AWD utilizes the fully redesigned "Clean Tech x Elegance" style while the Genesis is still getting familiar with its shield-like face. Blinged out with lots of chrome, the two vehicles are trying to woo the same customer. It all comes down to style, but we love the longer, leaner looks of the ES 350h.
Why Lexus?
People choose the Lexus brand for its stellar reliability, impeccable build quality and great resale value. Oh, did we mention all the standard equipment you get with it? That too. The Lexus ES brings all of that and excellent value for your money.
The ES 350 is well-equipped with dual-zone climate control, 8-way power-adjustable driver and passenger seat, NuLuxe® or leather interior trim, heated and ventilated front seats, available front seat radiant knee heater, heated steering wheel, thematic ambient lighting, Lexus 10-speaker premium audio system, available mark Levinson® 17-speaker, 1,800-watt pureplay surround sound audio system, available active noise control, 4 USB-c ports, Lexus memory system for driver's seat, and a wireless phone chargers. From a safety standpoint, the ES includes the Lexus Safety System Plus 4.0, with adaptive cruise control, forward-collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, and automatic emergency braking, as well as intelligent high-beam, LED headlights. There's also 2 inches more legroom for rear-seat passengers, not to mention a larger trunk.
What about the Genesis?
Following a recent redesign, the new Genesis G80 is back in a revised form. Gone is the V8 engine. It is now powered by a 2.5-liter inline turbocharged four-cylinder or a 3.5-liter V6. Rear wheel drive is standard, but AWD is available on the Genesis as extra.
Navigation and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility are standard. Safety features include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic collision avoidance. It's a good but pricier package.
