Genesis G80s licensed in Great Britain at the end of each year
There were not enough MOT tests of Genesis G80s in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

How we use engine sizes.
Genesis G80 fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Genesis G80 from 2021, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2021 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 30.5 to 43.7 mpg, with CO2 of 169 to 210 g/km.
Official WLTP figures by engine and fuel, listed 2021 to 2026
Official WLTP figures by engine and fuel, listed 2021 to 2026
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model name “G80”. How we use VCA’s figures.

21 Aug 2023 Front Seat Pre-tensioners may malfunction (925 (all models) vehicles)
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Genesis G80. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
