Confident Power That Goes Further
The 2025 Genesis G80 is powered by a 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. It delivers 300 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque, offering more power and torque than the 255-hp BMW 5 Series. That extra capability translates to stronger acceleration and more confident highway passing without sacrificing fuel efficiency. In fact, the G80’s estimated 20 MPG city and 29 MPG highway ratings are competitive for the class, especially considering its all-wheel drive setup comes standard, not as an add-on.
The BMW 5 Series brings a mild hybrid system and 48V eBoost technology, which helps improve efficiency but doesn’t close the performance gap. If you’re looking for a vehicle that balances responsive power with everyday efficiency, the G80 gives you more right out of the gate.
Immersive Tech, Seamlessly Integrated
Both sedans are equipped with modern connectivity and infotainment, but the Genesis G80 takes a clean, driver-focused approach that’s both functional and visually stunning. At the center of it all is a 27-inch OLED display that combines the instrument cluster and navigation system into one streamlined unit.
Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, as does SiriusXM®, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a fingerprint authentication system for added security. Genesis Connected Services and Smart Cruise Control 2 with Highway Driving Assist 2 offer peace of mind when commuting or heading out on a long trip outside of Kennesaw.
The BMW 5 Series includes its signature curved display and Operating System 8.5, along with a connected voice assistant and remote features via the My BMW App. While it’s tech-rich, some drivers may find the interface busier to navigate, and many features are tied to subscription services with expiration dates. In contrast, the G80’s technology feels purposeful, refined, and ready to use with fewer limitations.
Crafted for Comfort, Built for Real Life
Step inside either vehicle, and you’ll find thoughtful design and comfort-focused amenities. However, the Genesis G80 offers many premium features, including heated front and rear seats, ambient lighting, and a heated, power-adjustable steering wheel. Its integrated memory system with Smart Posture Care adds personalized comfort that adapts to you, not the other way around. You’ll also find leatherette seating surfaces, an elegantly wrapped instrument panel, and piano black gloss trim throughout, all designed to create a calm, upscale atmosphere.
The BMW 5 Series offers solid build quality and sport seats with adjustable bolsters. Still, several luxury features, including rear seat heating and ambient lighting customization, may require extra packages or step-up models. In terms of straightforward comfort and ease of use, the G80 gives you more right from the start.
The Right Fit for Modern Drivers
The 2025 Genesis G80 combines standout performance, intuitive tech, and refined comfort in a way that’s hard to match—especially when compared to the 2026 BMW 5 Series. For drivers who want value, luxury, and an experience tailored to everyday life, the G80 delivers where it counts.
