- The 2026 Genesis GV70 benefits from a refresh, but its prices have also risen by up to $3235 as a result.
- The compact luxury SUV still offers a 300-hp turbo four and a 375-hp twin-turbo V-6, which start at $49,345 and $64,865, respectively.
- Genesis hasn’t yet announced pricing for the Electrified GV70, but we expect it will start at around $67K when it eventually goes on sale.
The Genesis GV70 gets a little prettier for the 2026 model year, and its interior is improved with a new dash-spanning display. The visual tweaks and newly added features are part of the compact luxury SUV’s mid-cycle refresh, bringing price hikes as high as $3235, but they vary based on the trim level.
GV70 Prices are (Mostly) Higher
For 2026, the GV70 lineup starts with the $49,345 base 2.5T model, which still features a 300-hp 2.5-liter turbo four and standard all-wheel drive. That price is $1695 higher than last year, but unlike before, the entry-level model now comes with a 27-inch OLED screen on the dash and snazzy microlens-array headlights. Stepping up to the 2.5T Select pushes the starting price to $52,335 (up $1685), but it adds myriad power adjustments, a panoramic sunroof, and a wireless phone charger.
The 2.5T versions of the GV70 also come in Sport Advanced and Sport Prestige trims, which start at $56,885 and $60,245, respectively. The former model receives the highest price hike, rising $3235 versus last year. Meanwhile, the latter is only $685 more expensive. With the Advanced, Genesis includes leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, and a Bang & Olufsen stereo. The Prestige adopts 21-inch wheels, styling bits that suggest it’s sportier, and there are more leather interior surfaces, plus a third climate zone.
For those who want the most powerful version of the GV70, Genesis continues to offer it with a 375-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6. For 2026, it drops the 3.5T Sport that previously started at $60,250. Instead, the mightier models now start at $64,865 for the Sport Advanced. While that means it costs $4615 more to get the V-6, Genesis appears to try and offset that by making the Advanced trim’s price $1785 lower than last year. The Sport Prestige still resides at the top of the GV70 hierarchy, and its $71,545 initial ask is up by $1695.
EV GV70 Pricing to Come
Genesis also updated the Electrified GV70 for 2026, giving it a bigger 84.0-kWh battery with more range as well as a newly standard NACS charge port. However, the company hasn’t yet announced pricing for the electric version. That should be announced closer to its on-sale date, which should follow the gas GV70’s spring debut.
Eric Stafford’s automobile addiction began before he could walk, and it has fueled his passion to write news, reviews, and more for Car and Driver since 2016. His aspiration growing up was to become a millionaire with a Jay Leno–like car collection. Apparently, getting rich is harder than social-media influencers make it seem, so he avoided financial success entirely to become an automotive journalist and drive new cars for a living. After earning a journalism degree at Central Michigan University and working at a daily newspaper, the years of basically burning money on failed project cars and lemon-flavored jalopies finally paid off when Car and Driver hired him. His garage currently includes a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual ’97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a ’90 Honda CRX Si.
