2026 Genesis GV80 Coupe: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2026 Genesis GV80 Coupe is the new Prestige Black trim, which gives the 409-hp model a blacked-out look inside and out. Terrain Mode is also added, but this is otherwise a light update rather than a redesign.
About the 2026 Genesis GV80 Coupe
1st generation GV80 Coupe, second model year (introduced for 2025); minor update year, not a redesign.
Genesis positions the GV80 Coupe as the more emotional, driver-focused take on the GV80: a two-row luxury SUV with a fastback roofline, strong V6 power, and a cabin built around comfort and technology. In the U.S., it stands out because every trim is already highly equipped, so shoppers are choosing between strong V6 performance and an even more dramatic performance-luxury look rather than climbing through many stripped-down trims.
The 2026 GV80 Coupe remains a luxury-focused SUV with standard AWD, V6 power, and a coupe-like roofline. The 3.5T centers on its 375-hp engine and well-equipped cabin, while the 409-hp e-supercharged models add stronger performance. Highlights across the range include a 27-inch OLED display, Nappa leather, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, and an 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system.

Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest change to the 2026 Genesis GV80 Coupe?
The biggest change is the new 3.5T e-SC MHEV Prestige Black trim. It pairs the 409-hp e-supercharged V6 with a blacked-out exterior and a darker cabin.
What does the 2026 GV80 Coupe Prestige Black add?
Prestige Black adds a complete dark appearance theme. It has gloss-black exterior trim, dark badging, black headlamp bezels, 22-inch black matte wheels, quilted black Nappa leather, and open-pore black ash wood trim.
Did the 2026 Genesis GV80 Coupe get new engines?
No, the engines carry over for 2026. The 3.5T has a 375-hp twin-turbo V6, while the e-SC MHEV models use a 409-hp version with a 48-volt electric supercharger; both have AWD and an eight-speed automatic transmission.
How is the 2026 Genesis GV80 Coupe different from the 2025 model?
The 2026 model adds the Prestige Black trim and Terrain Mode with snow, mud, and sand settings. The core design, engines, transmission, AWD layout, screens, audio system, and main driver-assistance hardware otherwise carry over from 2025.
Did the GV80 Coupe trim names change for 2026?
Yes. The 2025 3.5T Base continues as the 2026 3.5T, and the 2025 3.5T e-SC continues as the 3.5T e-SC MHEV. These are name changes, not replacements with different powertrains.
