2026 Genesis GV80
2026 Genesis
GV80
Although Genesis just refreshed the GV80 for last model year, they have nonetheless made additional improvements for 2026, starting with an expanded lineup and a new drivetrain option. The 3.5T Prestige Black joins the GV80 family as the topmost trim, blending a loaded equipment roster with a blacked-out appearance. Dark accents and wheels adorn the exterior, while a unique ash wood interior trim, a power-adjustable second row, and exclusive quilted Nappa leather seats set it apart. The 2.5T base trim is now available with a rear-wheel drivetrain (a change from the formerly all-wheel-drive-only lineup), giving buyers a more fuel-efficient and affordable choice.
The GV80 retains its distinctive dual-line LED lights and showcases luxurious interior amenities, like a 27-inch screen that houses both the gauge display and infotainment system, fingerprint authentication to start the engine and access driver settings, and a mood curator with lighting, fragrance, and massage settings for a personalized cabin experience. As with every new Genesis, it’s protected by the automaker’s 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, as well as three years or 36,000 miles of Complimentary Scheduled Maintenance.

The 2026 GV80 is offered with two powertrain options across five trims: the Base, Select, Advanced, Prestige, and Prestige Black. The 2.5T powertrain, available on the Base, Select, Advanced, and Prestige, produces 300 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque from its namesake turbocharged 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The 3.5T powertrain, available on the Advanced, Prestige, and Prestige Black, generates 375 horsepower and 391 lb.-ft. of torque from a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. Both engines match with an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
The Base is the only trim with either a drivetrain choice - rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel (AWD) drive, while the rest of the lineup is offered only with AWD. The RWD 2.5T returns an estimated 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, while the AWD trims drop slightly to 19 city/24 highway mpg. The 3.5T trims all achieve 16 mpg city/22 mpg highway. The 2.5T Base, Select, and Advanced have multi-link front and rear suspensions, while the 2.5T Prestige and all three 3.5T trims are upgraded to an electronically controlled suspension with road preview. All GV80s get Monobloc 4-piston front brakes, and the 3.5T Prestige and Prestige Black receive an electronic rear limited-slip differential. Both powertrains boast a 6,000-pound towing capacity, and AWD versions are outfitted with Terrain Mode, which provides snow, sand, and mud settings.
