Every trim on the 2026 Genesis GV80 shares the same confident stance and cabin-first mindset, but the differences between them go well beyond wheel size and paint. Engine choice, seating capacity, and available technology shift as you move up the lineup, which makes trim shopping much simpler. At Genesis of Avon in West Simsbury, CT, we break down every trim level so you can find the one that fits how you drive.
2.5T RWD Trim
The 2.5T RWD trim opens the lineup with a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine rated at 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, sent to the rear wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission. It seats five on leatherette upholstery, rides on 19-inch wheels, and comes standard with the 27-inch OLED instrument cluster, Genesis Connected Services® telematics, and a nine-speaker premium audio system.
2.5T AWD Trim
The 2.5T AWD trim carries the same core features as the rear-wheel-drive model while adding all-wheel drive for improved traction in changing road and weather conditions.
2.5T Select AWD Trim
The 2.5T Select AWD trim keeps the same five-passenger layout, leatherette seating, and four-zone climate control, then adds a power tilt-and-slide panoramic sunroof and steps up to 20-inch wheels. It is the last trim in the lineup built around a five-passenger cabin without a third row.
2.5T Advanced AWD Trim
The 2.5T Advanced AWD trim is where this new Genesis SUV grows into a seven-passenger SUV, trading leatherette for leather upholstery and adding ventilated front seats and heated second-row seats. It keeps the 300-horsepower engine and 20-inch wheels from the 2.5T Select AWD trim, but carries the extra flexibility of a third row for larger families.
2.5T Prestige AWD Trim
The 2.5T Prestige AWD trim tops the four-cylinder lineup with 22-inch wheels, a 16-way power driver seat, and a head-up display projected onto the windshield. It is also the first trim to swap the standard nine-speaker audio system for the Bang & Olufsen® premium sound system, and it upgrades to 4-Zone + Climate Control with second-row controls.
3.5T Advanced AWD Trim
The 3.5T Advanced AWD trim moves to a twin-turbo 3.5-liter engine producing 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque, a meaningful jump over the 2.5T engine in both power and torque. It pairs that engine with an electronically controlled suspension featuring road preview and an electronic limited-slip differential, both built to sharpen handling over the standard suspension used on 2.5T trims. It seats seven, rides on 20-inch wheels, and includes the Bang & Olufsen® sound system and head-up display standard.
3.5T Prestige AWD Trim
Building on the 3.5T Advanced AWD trim, the 3.5T Prestige AWD adds additional premium interior amenities, technology, and 22-inch wheels while retaining its seven-passenger seating configuration.
3.5T Prestige Black AWD Trim
The 3.5T Prestige Black AWD trim sits at the top of the 2026 Genesis GV80 lineup, and it trades the third row for a five-passenger layout finished in Nappa leather with a microfiber suede headliner. Exclusive Prestige Black features include:
- Gloss black exterior accents and dark badging
- 22-inch gloss black alloy wheels
- Black Nappa leather seating with exclusive quilting
- Black Ash wood interior trim
- A unique all-black interior and exterior appearance
Built on the same 375-horsepower engine as the other 3.5T trims, the 3.5T Prestige Black AWD trim pairs that power with the most complete feature set Genesis offers on this SUV.
