2026 Genesis Electrified GV70: Kirkland Pricing & Leasing Guide
Quick Answer: What a 2026 Electrified GV70 Costs in Kirkland
The 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70 starts at $64,380 MSRP for the Standard, $69,250 for the Advanced and $75,350 for the Prestige. In Kirkland, Washington's state sales tax is 6.5%, and the Washington Department of Revenue's motor vehicle rate table lists a combined state and local rate of 10.3% for the city this quarter, plus an additional 0.5% motor vehicle sales tax on the selling price. That puts tax at about 10.8% of the vehicle price, or roughly $6,950 on a Standard at MSRP. Washington currently has no individual income tax, according to the Department of Revenue. Leases are taxed too, and Genesis of Kirkland's team can show the figures line by line on a worksheet.
Starting prices by trim
All three trims share the same battery and dual-motor powertrain, so the price steps buy equipment. The Standard at $64,380 gets you leather seating, the 27-inch OLED display and the full driver-assist suite. The Advanced at $69,250 adds a surround-view camera and multi-zone automatic climate control, a difference of $4,870. The Prestige at $75,350 adds Nappa leather and the Bang & Olufsen premium audio system, another $6,100 up from the Advanced. Each figure is the manufacturer's suggested retail price before the destination charge, taxes, registration and any options.
How Washington sales tax works on a Kirkland purchase
Washington taxes vehicle purchases at the buyer's location, so the rate depends on where the car is delivered, not where it was built. For Kirkland, the Department of Revenue's published motor vehicle table for October through December 2026 shows a 6.5% state rate and a combined rate of 10.3%. Motor vehicle dealers also collect an extra 0.5% of the selling price on every retail sale or lease of a vehicle, and that extra amount sits outside the combined figure in the table. Add them together and a Kirkland buyer should plan on about 10.8% of the taxable price.
Here's what that looks like at MSRP, rounded to the nearest ten dollars. The Standard comes to roughly $6,950 in tax, the Advanced to about $7,480 and the Prestige to about $8,140. Your real number will differ, because the taxable amount can include the destination charge and certain fees, and the final selling price is set by the dealership. A worksheet from the sales team will show every line. Local rates also update each quarter, which is why it's smart to ask for the current figure at signing.
Registration and ongoing costs
Registration in Washington includes extra annual fees for electric vehicles, set by the state separately from sales tax, so ask the dealership to itemize them in your paperwork. On the running-cost side, an EV skips gasoline and oil changes, and Genesis includes three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance, as described in the service and repair guide. Charging at home on a Level 2 charger is the usual way to keep per-mile costs down, and your electric rate and time-of-use options will determine the exact figure.
Leasing an Electrified GV70
A lease can suit EV drivers who like to move into a new model every few years while the technology improves. In Washington, sales tax applies to lease payments, and the same 0.5% motor vehicle tax applies to leases as well as purchases. A lease quote is built from the capitalized cost, the residual value Genesis assigns at the end of the term, the money factor and the mileage allowance, so the best way to compare is to ask for the same term and mileage on each trim. Genesis posts national lease and finance offers by model, and the dealership's incentives page lists Electrified GV70 among them, with the note that actual terms at the dealership may differ. Local offers are posted separately.
Incentives and credits
Electric vehicle incentives, including federal, state and utility programs, have changed repeatedly and depend on the buyer and the date of purchase, so this guide doesn't put a dollar figure on any of them. The advisors at Genesis of Kirkland can tell you which programs apply on the day you buy.
What buyers say about the buying process
Sal E. described a quick visit: "Taylor treated us with much respect and was very informative! Really great customer service thank you for making it a fast easy process." Darin N., who weighed several luxury brands, added: "The process was fast smooth and efficient." Both reviews are about the paperwork and pace, which is where a car purchase can feel slow, and the dealership also lets you start a finance application or trade-in appraisal from home.
A note on model years
Genesis has begun offering the 2027 Electrified GV70, which has its own price schedule. Everything above is for the 2026 model year, so ask which model year a vehicle is before comparing figures.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a Genesis Electrified GV70?
For the 2026 model year, MSRP is $64,380 for the Standard, $69,250 for the Advanced and $75,350 for the Prestige, before the destination charge, taxes and registration. The dealership sets the final selling price.
What is the sales tax on a new car in Kirkland, WA?
The Department of Revenue lists a 10.3% combined state and local rate for Kirkland on motor vehicles for the fourth quarter of 2026, and dealers add a further 0.5% motor vehicle sales tax on top of that, so plan on about 10.8%. Rates change by quarter, so confirm the current figure when you buy.
Does the Genesis Electrified GV70 qualify for a tax credit?
Eligibility for electric vehicle credits and rebates changes over time and depends on the buyer, so ask an advisor at Genesis of Kirkland what is available when you're ready to purchase rather than relying on a general answer.
Is it better to lease or buy an Electrified GV70?
It depends on how long you keep vehicles and how many miles you drive. Leasing keeps payments lower on a vehicle you'll swap in a few years, while buying builds ownership in a car you plan to keep. Ask for both quotes on the same trim so you can compare them directly.
Is the Genesis GV70 Electrified fully electric?
Yes. The Electrified GV70 is powered by an 84-kWh battery and two electric motors, with no gasoline engine, and it is a separate vehicle from the gas GV70 with its own pricing.
