Who's It For?
The GV80 is the luxury SUV for drivers who put an emphasis on enjoying the most luxurious interior possible while also providing a relaxed and easy driving experience on any boulevard. Genesis offers a wealth of standard features on every trim level, but it also offers some options that help tailor the GV80 to a driver's specific needs. For example, drivers may opt for a third row of seating or an upgraded twin-turbocharged engine that takes the motor from a 4-cylinder to a V6.
What's New for 2026?
Genesis makes a rear-wheel drive option available for the first time with the 2026 GV80 lineup, with previous versions being offered solely as all-wheel drive.

For 2026, the GV80 is also offered with a third row on more trim levels, making it easier to choose that configuration. A new Terrain mode has also been added to the all-wheel drive versions of the 2026 GV80.
