For 2026, Genesis is introducing a new rear-wheel-drive base variant of its GV80 SUV that stickers for $2,150 less than the entry-level all-wheel-drive GV80.

Case in point: the 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe. It’s being presented as a sporty, driver-focused model despite being neither of those things. It is, though, a very nice luxury SUV. 0:00 / 0:00 ...

The 2025 GV80 starts at the same $59,050 (including destination) but ditches the rear sunshades, digital key function, heated steering wheel and spare tire of all things that were previously standard.

Most updates are focused on 3.5T V6 models. On the GV80 3.5T AWD Advanced, a power-folding third row is now standard, as is a tire mobility kit, which replaces the luxury SUV's spare.
