2023 Genesis GV80: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2023 Genesis GV80 is that all-wheel drive becomes standard across the lineup, replacing the previous rear-wheel-drive four-cylinder setup. This is otherwise a light-update year, with small convenience changes and a revised trim lineup rather than a redesign.
About the 2023 Genesis GV80
1st generation GV80 (2021-2024), third model year, pre-refresh.
Genesis positions the GV80 as its flagship SUV, pairing “Athletic Elegance” styling with thoughtful versatility and a richly finished cabin. It is aimed at shoppers who want luxury-SUV comfort, standout design, and a strong set of technology and driver-assist features in a family-friendly shape. The GV80’s identity is more about quiet cruising, upscale materials, and a calm, high-tech interior than about hardcore off-road use or aggressive sportiness.
The 2023 GV80 lineup starts with a 300-hp turbo four-cylinder and a 14.5-inch navigation touchscreen, heated front seats, and a broad driver-assist safety suite. The 375-hp twin-turbo V6 trims feature a head-up display, premium audio, and camera-based parking aids. The 3.5T Advanced+ stands out with a power-folding third row.

Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest change to the 2023 Genesis GV80?
Standard all-wheel drive is the biggest change to the 2023 Genesis GV80. It replaces the previous rear-wheel-drive setup on the four-cylinder model and makes AWD standard across the range.
Is the 2023 Genesis GV80 a redesign?
No, the 2023 Genesis GV80 is not a redesign. It remains part of the first generation and receives standard AWD, minor cabin-control updates, and trim changes rather than new styling or a new platform.
Which 2023 Genesis GV80 has a third row?
The 2023 GV80 3.5T Advanced+ has a power-folding third row. The 2.5T Base and 3.5T Base are two-row models.
Does the 2023 Genesis GV80 still have the Prestige Signature trim?
No, the limited four-seat 3.5T Prestige Signature trim drops from the GV80 lineup for 2023. The 2.5T Base and 3.5T Base join the lineup, while the prior 2.5T Standard and 3.5T Standard trims also drop.
Is the 2023 Genesis GV80 worth choosing over the 2022 model?
The 2023 GV80 makes the most sense over the 2022 model when standard AWD is the deciding factor. Beyond AWD, an oil-life monitor, and small cabin-control updates, the two model years are closely related rather than dramatically different.
