Shopping for a luxury midsize SUV in the Waukesha area? The Genesis GV80 has a way of turning heads in the Genesis of Milwaukee showroom, and once you sit inside one, it’s easy to see why. Two questions come up almost every time: what’s this thing going to cost, and which trim actually fits your life? Here’s the honest breakdown.
The 2027 Genesis GV80 starts at $58,850 MSRP for the base 2.5T RWD trim.
Genesis GV80 trims run from 2.5T RWD and AWD through Select, Advanced, Prestige, and the exclusive Prestige Black.
Choosing AWD, moving up in trim, or stepping up to the 3.5T V6 all raise the price from that $58,850 starting point.
GV80 Prestige trims add Nappa leather, upgraded audio, and expanded technology over Advanced models.
The GV80 is currently gas-only — there’s no Genesis GV80 electric range to speak of yet, though Genesis does build electric SUVs elsewhere in its lineup.
How Much Does a Genesis GV80 Cost?
Genesis GV80 price starts at $58,850 MSRP for the 2027 model in its base 2.5T RWD configuration. Move up through the lineup and add AWD, higher trims, or the 3.5T V6, and that number climbs toward the mid-$80,000s before options.
Where a given GV80 lands on that spectrum comes down to a handful of choices. Engine matters most — the 3.5T V6 trims run several thousand dollars above their 2.5T counterparts. Trim level matters too, since each step up bundles in more standard equipment rather than nickel-and-diming buyers with à la carte options. On top of the sticker price, expect a destination charge and any dealer-installed accessories to factor into the out-the-door number. Buyers in Waukesha often start by deciding on engine, then narrow down trim from there — it tends to simplify the whole process.

Is the Genesis GV80 Available as an Electric SUV?
Not yet. Today’s GV80 is built around two gas-powered turbocharged engines, so there isn’t a Genesis GV80 electric range figure to quote — this SUV doesn’t run on a battery.
Genesis does build electric vehicles, just not under the GV80 name. The GV60 and Electrified GV70 are the brand’s current EVs, each with its own battery and range figures worth asking about separately if electric driving is the goal. Genesis has also signaled plans for a GV80 hybrid down the road, pairing the 2.5T engine with an electrified assist for better efficiency without giving up the size or capability that makes the GV80 popular with families. Nothing’s official on dealership lots yet, so anyone cross-shopping electrified options should ask Genesis of Milwaukee for the latest on availability and timing.
Why the Genesis GV80 Is Worth a Look
Between the engine options, the trim spread, and the level of standard equipment, the Genesis GV80 covers a lot of ground without asking buyers to compromise. Waukesha drivers who want room for seven, real towing muscle, and an interior that feels genuinely upscale tend to find a trim here that fits. Genesis of Milwaukee keeps a range of configurations on the lot, which makes comparing them side by side a lot easier than trying to picture it from a spec sheet.
If a specific trim or price point has your attention, the easiest next step is seeing it in person. Genesis of Milwaukee can walk through current GV80 inventory, pricing, and available offers, and get a test drive on the calendar whenever it’s convenient.
Ready to Compare Trims in Person?
Genesis of Milwaukee keeps a range of GV80 configurations on the lot, so you can compare pricing and features side by side instead of guessing from a spec sheet.
The 2.5T RWD is the entry point, starting at $58,850 MSRP for the 2027 model year.
What’s the difference between GV80 Advanced and Prestige?
Prestige adds more premium materials, like Nappa leather and wood trim, along with additional technology and styling touches Advanced trims don’t include.
Is all-wheel drive standard on the Genesis GV80?
Not on the base trim, 2.5T RWD is rear-wheel drive only. Every other trim, from 2.5T AWD on up, comes standard with all-wheel drive.
Does the Genesis GV80 seat seven people?
Yes, third-row seating is standard on every trim except Prestige Black, which is set up as a five- or six-passenger configuration instead.
Which GV80 trim has the most horsepower?
The 3.5T trims (Advanced, Prestige, and Prestige Black) use the Twin-Turbo V6 rated up to 375 horsepower, versus up to 300 horsepower from the 2.5T engine.
Does the GV80 come as a hybrid or electric SUV?
Not currently, it’s gas-only for now. Genesis’s electric lineup lives in the GV60 and Electrified GV70, and a GV80 hybrid has been discussed for a future model year.
