Power and Performance

Two turbocharged powertrains anchor the 2026 Genesis GV80 lineup. The 2.5T features a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four producing 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, while the 3.5T delivers a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 with 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and they provide a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 lbs.

All-wheel drive comes standard across the lineup with the exception of the entry-level 2.5T, which introduces a rear-wheel-drive configuration for 2026. Available Electronic Control Suspension™ with Road Preview reads the surface ahead through the forward camera and adjusts damping in real time, smoothing out imperfections before occupants feel them. Available 22-inch alloy wheels reinforce this new Genesis SUV’s commanding road presence.

Technology Features

A 27-inch OLED panoramic display spans the dashboard, integrating the digital instrument cluster and navigation system into one seamless surface. New for 2026, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard on every trim, alongside a wireless device charger. Genesis Digital Key™ allows owners to start the vehicle and unlock doors using a paired smartphone. The available Mood Curator personalizes the cabin with four distinct combinations of music, lighting, fragrance, and massage settings.

An available 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen® premium sound system fills the interior from aluminum-covered speakers. Select trims seat up to seven with a power-folding third row, while available Nappa leather surfaces and open-pore wood trim reflect meticulous attention to material quality.
