2025 Genesis GV80: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2025 Genesis GV80 gets a major mid-cycle refresh, led by updated exterior styling and a redesigned cabin with one wide 27-inch OLED display for the gauges and navigation. The engines carry over, but the trim lineup changes.
About the 2025 Genesis GV80
First generation GV80 (U.S. launch generation), major refresh year.
Genesis positions the GV80 as a midsize luxury SUV with strong road presence, a quiet and richly finished cabin, and generous technology. The focus is comfort and visual drama more than outright sportiness. Compared with established German rivals, the GV80’s core appeal is upscale design, a lot of standard equipment, and an interior that feels special without forcing buyers into the highest trims.
The 2.5T range runs from the straightforward Standard to the comfort-focused Prestige, while the 3.5T Advanced adds V6 power and a power-folding third row. Standout features include camera-based parking views on Advanced trims, road-reading suspension and active noise control on the 2.5T Prestige, and Nappa leather with upgraded rear-seat comfort on the 3.5T Prestige.
What changed, by category
Styling
Genesis reworked the GV80’s front and rear styling and redesigned the cabin layout.
Tech
A new 27-inch OLED display combines the digital gauges and navigation screen. The refreshed cabin also adds the Mood Curator system, which coordinates cabin settings to create different interior atmospheres.
Powertrain lineup
The 2.5-liter turbo four-cylinder and 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 carry over, but their trim structure changes. The four-cylinder range expands with Standard, Select, Advanced, and Prestige trims alongside the continuing 2.5T Base. The 3.5T Advanced replaces the dropped 3.5T Base as the V6 entry point, while 3.5T Prestige Signature is renamed 3.5T Prestige.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 2025 Genesis GV80 a full redesign?
No. The 2025 Genesis GV80 is a major refresh of the existing first generation, not a completely new generation. Its exterior and cabin change substantially, but its two engines carry over.
What is the biggest change to the 2025 Genesis GV80?
The biggest change is the redesigned cabin and its 27-inch OLED display, which places the digital gauges and navigation in one wide screen. Genesis also updates the front and rear exterior design.
Does the 2025 Genesis GV80 have new engines?
No. The 2025 GV80 keeps the 2.5-liter turbo four-cylinder and 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 from the prior year. The changes center on the design, cabin technology, and trim structure rather than the engines.
How did the 2025 Genesis GV80 trim lineup change?
The four-cylinder range expands with 2.5T Standard, Select, Advanced, and Prestige trims alongside the continuing 2.5T Base. For V6 models, 3.5T Advanced becomes the starting trim after 3.5T Base is dropped, and 3.5T Prestige Signature is renamed 3.5T Prestige.
Is the 2025 Genesis GV80 worth considering over the 2024 model?
Yes, if the newer cabin and display matter to you. The 2025 model has a more modern dashboard, the 27-inch OLED screen, and revised exterior styling, while shoppers focused mainly on engine performance will find the same four-cylinder and V6 choices as before.
