2026 Genesis GV80 Coupe Review | Enhanced Luxury Performance with New Technology
The 2026 Genesis GV80 Coupe builds on its stunning debut with meaningful updates that enhance both capability and convenience. This athletic luxury SUV continues to turn heads with its sophisticated design while adding practical improvements like new terrain management and enhanced connectivity.
"Even parked in front of the ritzy Four Seasons Hotel in Minneapolis, the row of 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupes draws attention. Passersby and wealthy patrons alike turn their heads to admire the design" - and the 2026 model promises to continue that head-turning appeal with enhanced features.
The GV80 Coupe maintains its position as a compelling alternative to the Mercedes GLE Coupe and BMW X6, offering distinctive styling and substantial value in the luxury coupe SUV segment.
Commanding Performance with Enhanced Control
The 2026 GV80 Coupe delivers exceptional power through two proven powertrains. The standard 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 produces 375 horsepower, while the available e-Supercharged variant cranks out 409 horsepower with 405 lb-ft of torque. The supercharged powerplant is now the most powerful engine in the Genesis lineup, providing impressive acceleration and highway confidence.
New for 2026 is an advanced Terrain Mode system that optimizes vehicle performance for varying road conditions. Snow, Mud, and Sand modes automatically adjust powertrain and suspension settings, giving Scottsdale drivers enhanced capability for desert adventures or mountain escapes.
The eight-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth, nearly imperceptible shifts, while standard all-wheel drive provides confident traction in all conditions. Launch control remains available for those seeking maximum acceleration performance.
Refined Handling with Advanced Dynamics
The 2026 GV80 Coupe continues to prioritize luxury comfort over outright sportiness, though the available electronically controlled suspension with Road Preview technology reads ahead to prepare for surface changes. Sport+ driving mode transforms the transmission, powertrain, and suspension for more spirited driving when desired.
All-wheel drive seamlessly distributes power between axles based on traction needs, while the sophisticated suspension maintains composure through corners. The new Terrain Mode enhances this capability by automatically adjusting vehicle dynamics for specific driving conditions, from Arizona's desert terrain to mountain roads.
Active Sound Design provides an engaging auditory experience that complements the refined powertrains, while multiple driving modes allow customization of the driving experience to match conditions and preferences.
Luxurious Interior with Enhanced Connectivity
The 2026 GV80 Coupe interior showcases Genesis's commitment to premium materials and thoughtful design. Distinctive colors, patterns, and textures set it apart from the standard GV80, while maintaining the same high-quality leather, metal accents, and sophisticated design elements.
A new interior option for 2026 features Vanilla Beige and Smoky Green materials with striking orange seatbelts and orange steering wheel stitching, adding a bold design statement. The flat-bottom D-cut steering wheel continues to provide an athletic feel, while the Crystal Sphere gear selector adds an elegant focal point.
Enhanced connectivity comes through Genesis Digital Key 2 Premium, which now includes rear door lock and unlock functionality for added convenience. Manual rear side sunshades are now available on all trims, improving passenger comfort during Arizona's intense sunshine.
The cockpit maintains its two-row, five-passenger configuration, with designers optimizing space to provide excellent front-row comfort and generous rear-seat accommodation.
Advanced Technology and Premium Features
The centerpiece remains the impressive 27-inch OLED display system, combining a 13.2-inch infotainment screen with a 12.3-inch instrument cluster. This expansive interface provides access to navigation, vehicle settings, and performance data with intuitive touch controls and a convenient rotary dial backup.
Climate control features include the easy-to-use touch panel system, heated armrests, and comprehensive temperature management. Premium amenities range from ventilated seats to Bang & Olufsen superior audio, while unique touches include the fragrance diffuser and large rear entertainment screen.
The UV light sanitizing box in the glove compartment continues to provide a practical health-conscious feature for smartphones and small items. Extensive safety technology includes emergency automatic braking, lane assistance, blind spot monitoring, and Genesis's latest semi-autonomous driving aids.
2026 Updates and Availability
The 2026 model year brings several meaningful improvements including the new Terrain Mode system, enhanced Genesis Digital Key 2 Premium functionality, and new interior color options. The available 3.5T Prestige Black AWD trim provides an additional luxury option for discerning buyers.
Pricing starts at $81,850 for the 3.5T AWD model, with the e-Supercharged variant beginning at $87,650. The range-topping Prestige Black AWD carries an MSRP of $89,400.
Among its rivals, the GV80 Coupe offers one of the best standard warranty packages with its extensive powertrain coverage, including a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty that surpasses many luxury competitors.
