2017 Genesis G80

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 G80.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic (S8)

The 2017 Genesis G80 is a passenger car paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, posting EPA fuel economy of 16 city, 25 highway, and 19 combined mpg. The model's complaint history runs from 2017 through 2026, and this first year accounts for 63 owner complaints alongside two recalls, with the electrical system ranking as the top complaint area—placing it below the 2018 peak of 94 complaints but far above the single complaint logged in 2024. That steep decline over the model's lifespan signals that the G80's reliability improved markedly with successive model years, meaning the 2017 sits in the less settled early portion of a reliability curve that trended strongly positive over time.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 97,500 mi; coolant every 30,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 30,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2017 Genesis G80 marks the start of this generation's federal record, logging 63 complaints, 2 recalls, and a substantial 98 technical service bulletins (TSBs). Across the generation, complaints and recalls peaked in 2018 at 94 and 6, respectively, before dropping significantly in 2019 and beyond, indicating that the 2017 model sits in the early-production teething phase just prior to the generation's maximum issue density. For the 2017 model specifically, the Electrical System leads complaint areas with 13 reports, followed by the Engine at 8, though the data does not specify the root causes for these concerns. Despite these early-production quirks, the 2017 model saw only 3 crash complaints and zero fire complaints. Consequently, the 2017 G80 is an acceptable purchase if you secure documented proof that all 2 recalls and the extensive TSB-related updates—particularly those addressing the electrical and engine systems—have been properly completed by a previous owner.
