Hyundai Genesis fuel consumption

Expert answer:
Quick answer
A Hyundai Genesis (sedan, now Genesis G80) often yields 18 to 25 mpg combined, with smaller V6s on the higher end and V8 models in the lower range.
Detailed answer
Originally under Hyundai’s badge, the Genesis sedan offered V6 and V8 power, blossoming into the standalone Genesis brand (G80, G90). V6 trims commonly see around 20–24 mpg combined, while the 5.0L V8 might land near 16–19. Highway journeys at moderate speeds help the V6 approach mid-20s.
Interior luxury features, robust construction, and optional AWD add weight, trimming efficiency slightly. Smoother acceleration and timely service—like checking spark plugs, air filters—retain optimal numbers. Despite not matching smaller sedans’ economy, the Genesis line balances premium comfort and decent mpg at its price point. Drivers seeking luxury without paying European brand rates often consider it a fair trade.
