2026 Genesis GV80 Coupe Pricing & Release Date

The 2026 GV80 Coupe arrived at dealerships in late 2025 with minimal changes from its debut year. Genesis positions this model as their flagship luxury coupe, evident in its premium pricing that reflects its extensive standard equipment.

Compared to the GV80 SUV, the Coupe commands about $24,000 more at base level, but comes equipped similarly to the SUV's top 3.5T Prestige trim (which actually costs $480 more). The premium reflects its exclusive coupe styling and sport-tuned suspension.

Engine Performance & Fuel Economy

Every GV80 Coupe features Genesis's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6, with two states of tune:

• 3.5T: 375 horsepower, 391 lb-ft torque
• 3.5T e-S/C: 409 horsepower, 405 lb-ft (with electric supercharger)

Both variants use an 8-speed automatic transmission with standard all-wheel drive. Genesis estimates fuel economy at:

• 3.5T: 16 city/22 highway/19 combined mpg
• 3.5T e-S/C: 18 city/22 highway/20 combined mpg

The e-S/C's electric supercharger provides immediate throttle response while slightly improving efficiency. Official EPA ratings for 2026 weren't available at publication.

Safety & Driver Assistance Features

Genesis equips every GV80 Coupe with its complete safety suite:

• Highway Driving Assist 2 (semi-autonomous)
• Automated parking system
• 360-degree camera with parking sensors

Should You Choose the GV80 Coupe Over the SUV?

The GV80 Coupe makes sense if you:

• Prioritize style over maximum utility
• Don't need third-row seating
• Want the most athletic GV80 driving experience
• Appreciate its exclusivity (lower production numbers)
• --SECOND CONTENT ADVERTISEMENT HERE--
  

The traditional GV80 SUV remains the better choice for:

• Families needing more seating/cargo space
• Buyers wanting a lower entry price
• Those who prefer upright SUV visibility

Color Options & Personalization

For 2026, Genesis discontinued the popular Storr Green exterior but introduced new interior customization options:

• Available orange seat belt accents
• Contrasting steering wheel stitching
• Two-tone beige/green interior option

The Prestige Black trim limits exterior colors to dark hues for a cohesive look.

Competitive Landscape

The GV80 Coupe competes with:

• BMW X6 (starting $72,500)
• Mercedes GLE Coupe (starting $81,100)
• Audi Q8 (starting $73,400)

While priced higher, the Genesis offers more standard luxury features than these German rivals at similar trim levels.
