2026 Genesis GV80 Trim Levels Overview
This year, there are eight dignified 2026 Genesis GV80 trims, each with unique combinations of handsome features and sumptuous materials. We've compiled this guide to help you review each and determine which has the handling and design to accommodate your family.

There are some similarities across all the 2026 Genesis GV80 trims. For one, each trim level has a 6,000-pound Genesis GV80 towing capacity and a 21.1-gallon fuel tank.
However, there are plenty of ways in which these models make themselves unique. In the sections below, we provide more details on how the Genesis GV80 2.5 vs. 3.5 selection differs and the distinct features of each model.
Choosing Between 2.5T and 3.5T Genesis GV80 Models
Perhaps the most significant difference within the 2026 Genesis GV80 trims is two different available powertrains. Models with the 2.5T designation feature a swift, turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque.
However, even more exciting specs are available when you move to the 3.5T selection. This trio comes equipped with a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine that produces 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque. It's also important to mention that all 3.5T models come with standard all-wheel drive, so road connection and handling feel more precise.
