2025 GENESIS GV80 TRIMS & CONFIGURATIONS: 2.5T & 3.5T
Modern sleekness meets retro personality inside our Genesis GV80 trims. Starting from the entry-level 2.5T Standard AWD through to the top-tier 3.5T Prestige AWD model, you'll find clean lines, contrasting warm and cool colors, and a standard 27-inch OLED multimedia screen. The following guide attempts to paint a more detailed mental picture of this model, but we also welcome you to compare and contrast versions of this Genesis SUV in person at Genesis of Atlanta.
A Genesis GV80 Overview
While we have other pages that dive into the general specs of this SUV, like our Genesis GV70 vs. GV80 comparison, it's important to have a sense of the wider scope of this vehicle before getting down to the subtleties.
For starters, most of the trims we will discuss below come with two rows and seat five people. However, you can select the 3.5T Advanced AWD trim for a power-folding third row that lets you accommodate up to seven. When you combine this package with luxurious second-row Genesis GV80 captain's chairs, you'll be able to seat six.
This vehicle also has two different powertrains. Trims with the 2.5T setup contain a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 300 horsepower. Those with the 3.5T powertrain deliver 375 horsepower from a 3.5-liter V-6 and have a maximum Genesis GV80 towing capacity of 6,000 pounds when properly equipped. Either engine's efforts will be aided by this vehicle's hardworking eight-speed automatic transmission and traction-boosting AWD system.
As the names of the Genesis GV80 trims imply, the 2.5T Prestige AWD and 3.5T Prestige will have a lot in common. Their biggest difference lies in what's under the hood.
2025 Genesis GV80 Configurations
Genesis GV80 2.5T Standard AWD
Standing proudly on standard 19-inch alloy wheels, this SUV's confident, broad-shouldered frame, two-line LED headlamps, and G-Matrix Crest grille command attention. Looking at it in profile, you'll see that its roof gently curves down towards the rear of the vehicle to give it a somewhat softer look.
Drivers can access their vehicle using the fingerprint authentication system. Once inside, they'll find Obsidian Black or Vanilla Beige Smoky Green leatherette seating, which can match or contrast the cabin's Piano Black gloss accents. When you're seated, you'll enjoy four-way power lumbar support with heat settings in the front. A Mood Curator can allow you to adjust the interior lighting and even the scents you'll experience on your drive. An integrated memory system with Smart Posture Care will remember how you like your driver's seat positioned.
This introductory trim also prioritizes your convenience and safety, offering a wide range of driver support technologies, including:
- Rearview Camera
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Driver Attention Warning
- Lane Keeping & Lane Following Assist
- Smart Cruise Control
- Intelligent Speed Limit Assist
- Highway Driving Assist 2
Genesis GV80 2.5T Select AWD
This tier adds a touch of elegance by replacing the Piano Black accents with matte-finish wood trim and introducing a panoramic sunroof to let in natural light. Enjoy a more relaxed drive with a heated power-tilting, telescoping steering wheel.
The Genesis Digital Key 2 system allows you to remotely lock, unlock, or start your SUV. You'll also gain access to a second-row 110V AC power outlet.
Genesis GV80 2.5T Advanced AWD
As great as this vehicle looks on the outside, you've probably heard, "It's what's on the inside that counts." The inside of this trim is gorgeous, with leather upholstery available in elegant Obsidian Black, Vanilla Beige Smoky Green, or our favorite: Earth Brown Smoky Green. However, this vehicle isn't meant to offer museum-like beauty – it's meant to be as nice to touch and experience as it is to look at. For instance, the front seats are heated and ventilated for your comfort.
Looking at the Genesis GV80 Select vs. Advanced trims, you'll also notice that this higher-end edition comes with a Surround View Monitor and helpful Remote Smart Park Assist.
Genesis GV80 2.5T Prestige AWD
This resplendent trim allows for even more customization with three-zone climate control and heated rear seats. Your neck will thank you for investing in a trim with a Head-Up Display, which enables you to view directions as a windshield projection rather than turn your head to view a center monitor. Meanwhile, Active Noise Control will make it easier to hear your Bang & Olufsen® premium sound system, which can also be found on the last trim.
An electronically controlled suspension with Road Preview prompts smoother sailing.
Genesis GV80 3.5T Advanced AWD
This trim is unique because of its three rows of seats and four-zone climate control system. While it does have a lot of features in common with the 2.5T Advanced AWD, here are some ways it differs:
- Rearview Camera with Dynamic Guidelines
- Head-Up Display
- High Beam Assist
- Electronically controlled suspension with Road Preview
Genesis GV80 3.5T Prestige AWD
Like the Genesis GV80 2.5T Prestige, this model offers you a Head-Up Display, heated and ventilated front seats, aluminum door sill plates, and a Proximity Key with Push-Button Start. However, it also allows you to put a little more luxury into your life with Nappa leather upholstery, microfiber suede headliner and pillars, a heated front console armrest, heated and ventilated second-row seats, and second-row vanity mirrors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Genesis GV80 Trims
Does the Genesis GV80 have a third row?
Yes. The Genesis GV80 has a third row, although not in every trim. Most versions of this SUV have two rows. If you're interested in hosting up to six or seven people, you should opt for the 3.5T Advanced AWD model. This trim also comes with 11.6 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats, but you can fold the second and third rows for more.
What's the difference between the Genesis GV80 Advanced and Prestige trims?
When you look at Genesis GV80 Advanced vs. Prestige trims, the biggest differences come down to their level of luxury and the number of rows they offer. While the 2.5T Advanced, 2.5T Prestige, and 3.5T Prestige have five seats, the 3.5T Advanced comes with a third row. Generally, the Prestige trims are the most decadent, with three-zone climate control, a Head-Up Display, and more.

The top-of-the-line GV80 is the 3.5T Prestige AWD. Its 375-horsepower engine, heated front console armrest, Bang & Olufsen® premium sound system, and Microfiber suede headliner and pillars all contribute to making this model a thrilling and luxurious experience. However, this trim is limited to five seats. Those looking for a three-row SUV should check out the almost-as-luxurious 3.5T Advanced AWD.
What is the difference between the Genesis GV80 2.5T and 3.5T?
