Driving a Genesis is an experience defined by performance, sophistication, and cutting-edge engineering. Every detail, from a heated steering wheel to a powerful engine, is designed to deliver an unparalleled journey. To ensure that your Genesis consistently offers peak performance, it is important to fully understand its fuel requirements.
How Fuel Choices Affect Performance
The type of fuel you choose for your vehicle directly impacts how the engine performs on the road, how efficiently it uses fuel, and its long-term durability. Premium/unleaded gasoline, distinguished by its higher octane rating, offers specific advantages that allow modern engines to perform at their very best.
An engine works by compressing and then igniting a fuel and air mixture at precisely the right moment–a delicate balance to strike. If fuel ignites too early (known as engine knock or pre-ignition), the result is reduced power and less efficient operation. Using the recommended premium fuel ensures that combustion occurs exactly when intended, letting the engine deliver full power smoothly and reliably.
Some gasoline formulas offer greater resistance to this premature ignition than others. By using the manufacturer’s recommended fuel, your Genesis can make the most of its turbocharged engines, delivering strong acceleration and optimal fuel economy without compromise.
Maximizing Your Genesis’ Performance
Wondering how to enjoy your Genesis’ full performance? Here’s a look at the recommended fuel for each model.
Genesis G70 Gas Recommendation

The Genesis G70, a dynamic sports sedan, is engineered for thrilling performance. The recommended premium/unleaded fuel allows the 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine to deliver up to 300 horsepower and the 3.3L twin-turbocharged 6-cylinder engine up to 365 horsepower. This ensures exhilarating acceleration and a sharp throttle response.
Genesis G80 Gas Recommendation

The Genesis G80 combines elegant design with compelling power. Using premium/unleaded gas allows the engine (either 2.5L turbocharged 4-cyliner engine or 3.5L twin turbocharged 6-cylinder engine) to operate smoothly under higher pressures, translating to strong, effortless acceleration and a refined, composed ride.
Genesis G90 Gas Recommendation

The flagship Genesis G90, a pinnacle of automotive luxury, demands uncompromising performance. Using premium/unleaded fuel ensures the 3.5L turbocharged 6-cylinder engine and a 48V e-Supercharger reaches its full 409 horsepower.
Genesis GV70 Gas Recommendation

The Genesis GV70 offers dynamic performance for every adventure. Premium/unleaded gasoline is recommended for optimal performance for both the standard 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine (300 hp) and the available 3.5L turbocharged 6-cylinder engine (375 hp). This ensures responsive acceleration and an engaging driving experience.
Genesis GV80 Gas Recommendation

The commanding Genesis GV80 blends robust capability with unparalleled elegance. Whether powered by the 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that can reach up to 300 horsepower or the 3.5L twin-turbocharged 6-cylinder engine that offers 375 horsepower, premium/unleaded gasoline is recommended. This fuel choice ensures both confident performance and a highly refined ride quality.
Genesis GV80 Coupe Gas Recommendation

Building upon the robust foundation of the GV80, the Genesis GV80 Coupe carves its own path with a sleek, sport-inspired design that radiates dynamic athleticism.
