The Verdict

Consider

Middle of the pack among G80 years, with blank gauge and center screens reported early and four recalls, three of them for the fuel system.

Post-Redesign (Year 2)

2022 is year 2 of the Second generation (RG3).

  • A refresh arrives in 2024.
  • 2nd generation G80 (US).

What this means for buyers

Year 2 is typically a safer pick than the first model year — early issues are more likely to be identified, but the platform is still new.

If you're comparing prices, check 2021 (redesign year) vs 2022+ pricing and recalls.

Should You Buy the 2022 Genesis G80?

Reliability is good, and this year sits close to the average for 2022 sedans. Among the nine scored G80 model years, it falls in the middle. The 2021 and 2023 models rate about the same. Federal crash testing gave it 5 of 5 stars.

Owners filed six complaints, and screens are the theme. Digital displays go blank between 500 and 1,200 miles. In one case the right side of the gauge panel stays dark at startup, hiding speed, rpm, and fuel level. In another, the center screen goes dark about 20 seconds after a lane change assist warning, every day. Dealers found no cause. One owner reported the transmission dropping to third gear while passing and not upshifting. Federal records list four recalls: three for the gasoline fuel system and one for seat belts.

Ask for proof that all four recalls were completed. Test the screens and gauges on a cold start, and look for repair visits where a dealer could not reproduce a display fault.

Compared to the 2023 Genesis G80, which scored the same. See also the 2021 Genesis G80 for an earlier comparison.

Used Buying Checklist

Key things to inspect or verify before purchasing a 2022 Genesis G80.

  • Start the car several times and confirm the full gauge panel shows speed, rpm, and fuel every time.

  • Use the turn signals in both directions and listen for the normal clicking sound.

  • On a highway, accelerate hard to pass and confirm the transmission shifts up out of third gear.

  • Let the car run and watch the center screen for a lane change assist warning or a blank screen.

  • Compare the speed limit display with posted signs throughout the test drive.

  • Run every power driver seat control several times and confirm each one responds.

  • Have a shop scan for stored service codes and check whether the service engine light comes on.

  • Ask for dealer service records covering screen, seat module, or warning light repairs.

POWER TRAIN (2)ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (2)FUEL SYSTEM (1)UNKNOWN OR OTHER (1)

POWER TRAIN

2 complaints

The right side of the digital gauge panel sometimes stays dark at startup, so speed, rpm, and fuel level do not show, and the turn signals make no click. It happens at random, dealers have not reproduced it, and the service engine light and a stored code follow once the screen returns. One report says it started at 1,200 miles. A separate complaint describes the transmission dropping to third gear during passing and not upshifting. The car then loses speed in traffic, which puts it at risk of being rear-ended. Only 2 complaints are on file.

2 complaints total

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

2 complaints

The large center screen goes blank, and the instrument display shows wrong information. In one pattern, a "Check Lane Change Assist Function" warning appears and the screen goes dark about 20 seconds later, every day, starting before 500 miles. Since that screen runs more than navigation, the car loses other controls too. Other reports describe navigation freezing, a speed limit readout that does not match posted signs, and a driver seat module that still works only sometimes after being replaced. Dealers have not found a cause. One owner worries about fire, but no fire is reported.

The vehicle was driven again to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer acknowledges the smell. The vehicle was repaired again and sealed with O-rings. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The failure mileage was approximately 10,636.

I purchased my car in 1/2022. Starting 4/23/2022 through 10/27/2022 the CAR ALARM has activated itself approximately 100 times. Usually the key fob can stop the alarm, but several times the vehicle must be driven away or moved to stop the alarm sound. I took the car to the dealer on or about 4/12/2022 to search for the problem. After 1 week, the dealer advised it found no problem, but replaced a rear sensor and returned the car on 4/19. On 4/23/2022 the alarm problem began again. After my local Irvine, CA dealer refused to take the car back for repairs, on 5/16 I made a written complaint to Hyundai Claims. Since then, the alarm has activated without cause repeatedly. On 9/2/2022 with Claims approval, I left my car with Cerritos Genesis. On 9/15/2022, my LOANER G80 alarm activated itself without cause. On 9/23/2022 I picked up my car, after the dealer reported it found no problem. On 10/27/2022 the alarm reactivated itself twice, before I moved the car out of my hearing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2022 Genesis G80 reliable?
Yes, it rates good for reliability and lands close to average among 2022 sedans. Within the G80 lineup it sits in the middle of nine scored model years. Only six owner complaints are on file, though it also has four federal recalls, so check that they were completed.
What are the most common problems with the 2022 Genesis G80?
Owner complaints center on displays and electrical faults. Screens go blank, the gauge panel can stay dark at startup, and navigation can freeze. A separate pair of complaints falls under the power train, including a transmission that dropped to third gear and would not upshift.
Does the 2022 Genesis G80 have screen problems?
Yes, this is the clearest pattern in the complaints. The large center screen goes blank, and the instrument display can show wrong information. One owner saw a lane change assist warning, then a dark screen about 20 seconds later, every day. Dealers have not found a cause.
What recalls does the 2022 Genesis G80 have?
Federal records list four recalls. Three involve the gasoline fuel system and one involves seat belts. Ask the seller for documentation showing each recall repair was done, or have a Genesis dealer check the VIN for any that remain open.
Is the 2022 Genesis G80 better than the 2021 or 2023?
Not clearly. Both neighboring years also rate good and come out about the same as 2022. The 2021 has nine complaints and the 2023 has eight, against six for 2022. Each has four recalls, so condition and service records matter more than year.

Don’t buy a 2022 Genesis G80 without checking its VIN first — hidden accidents, title issues, and open recalls could cost you thousands.
