2026 Genesis G70: Kirkland Pricing & Leasing Guide
Quick Answer: What a 2026 Genesis G70 Costs in Kirkland
The 2026 Genesis G70 starts at $43,450 MSRP for the 2.5T, $48,450 for the 2.5T Prestige, and $53,600 for the 3.3T Sport Prestige with rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive adds $2,000 to $2,100 on each. Genesis adds a $1,395 destination charge to every car. At the dealership's Kirkland address, Washington's retail sales tax rate is 10.4% for the fourth quarter of 2026, and a separate 0.5% motor vehicle sales tax goes on top, which brings the combined estimate to about 10.9% before title, registration, and dealer fees. On that basis a rear-drive 2.5T works out to roughly $49,700 and a rear-drive Sport Prestige to roughly $61,000.
The MSRP ladder, trim by trim
The three 2026 G70 trims step up in clean increments. The 2.5T begins at $43,450 and the 2.5T Prestige at $48,450, a $5,000 difference that pays for leather seating, a Surround View Camera, power-folding mirrors, and rain-sensing wipers. The 3.3T Sport Prestige begins at $53,600, another $5,150, and brings the 365-hp V6, a limited-slip differential, and Brembo brakes. All-wheel drive is a straight add-on: $2,100 on the 2.5T (so $45,550), and $2,000 on the other two ($50,450 for the Prestige, $55,600 for the Sport Prestige). Every figure here is the manufacturer's suggested retail price and leaves out the destination charge.
That destination charge is $1,395 on every G70 and it's part of the price on the window sticker. Add it and the starting prices become $44,845, $49,845, and $54,995 for rear drive, or $46,945, $51,845, and $56,995 for all-wheel drive.
Washington's tax math, with Kirkland numbers
Washington has no state income tax, so a lot of the state's revenue comes through sales tax, and vehicle purchases are where that shows up most. The Department of Revenue's rate for the dealership's address at 11930 124th Ave NE is 10.4% for the fourth quarter of 2026, made up of a 6.5% state rate and a 3.9% local rate. Vehicles also carry a motor vehicle sales/use tax, which the department lists at 0.5% starting January 1, 2026 (it was 0.3% through the end of 2025). Put the two together and you're looking at roughly 10.9% on the taxable price.
Here's what that looks like on MSRP plus destination, before any trade-in credit, fees, title, or registration. A rear-drive 2.5T comes to about $4,888 in tax, or roughly $49,733 in total. The all-wheel-drive 2.5T comes to about $5,117 in tax and $52,062 in total. For the 2.5T Prestige, the rear-drive total is about $55,278 (tax of $5,433) and the all-wheel-drive total about $57,496 (tax of $5,651). The 3.3T Sport Prestige lands near $60,989 with rear drive (tax of $5,994) and $63,207 with all-wheel drive (tax of $6,212). Treat those as planning figures; your finance manager will build the actual number from the final deal.
One thing Kirkland shoppers sometimes ask about is Washington's newer luxury vehicle tax. It applies an 8% rate only to the portion of a vehicle's price above $100,000, so no G70 trim comes anywhere near triggering it.
Buying, leasing, and trading in
Leasing is popular on luxury sedans because the monthly number can sit well below a loan payment on the same car. In Washington, tax on a lease is generally collected on the payments rather than on the full price up front, and the state treats leases longer than 36 months differently from shorter ones, so the term you choose can change the tax picture. The store's local offers page and the manufacturer's incentives page list the programs currently running, and those change often enough that you should read them on the day you shop rather than rely on a number printed in a guide.
If you already own a car, the store offers online trade-in valuations and a finance application, so a good part of the paperwork can happen before you visit. William W. bought a pre-owned van from the store and described how the trade side went: "I was treated like I was buying a brand new Genesis." He added that "they gave me a fair price for the van and gave me a fair price for my trade in." Darin N. wrote about the finance step: "Ashley in Finance a real pro. The process was fast smooth and efficient." Ashley Fry is listed as a Finance Manager on the store's staff page.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2026 Genesis G70?
The 2.5T starts at $43,450 MSRP, the 2.5T Prestige at $48,450, and the 3.3T Sport Prestige at $53,600, all with rear-wheel drive and before the $1,395 destination charge. All-wheel drive is $2,000 to $2,100 more.

Among the 2026 trims, the 3.3T Sport Prestige with all-wheel drive is the highest at $55,600 MSRP ($56,995 with destination). Individual options, such as the available Lexicon audio, are configured at the dealership.
How much does it cost to lease a Genesis G70?
Lease payments depend on the term, mileage, money down, and whatever manufacturer programs are active that month. The best way to get a real figure is to check the store's local offers and ask the sales team for a quote on the trim you want.
What is the sales tax on a new car in Kirkland?
The Department of Revenue lists 10.4% for the dealership's address in the fourth quarter of 2026, and Washington adds a 0.5% motor vehicle sales/use tax on top, for about 10.9% combined. Title and registration are separate.
How does the G70's value compare with German sport sedans?
Genesis is a newer luxury brand that has leaned on value, long warranties, and complimentary maintenance rather than badge prestige. A new G70 includes a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty, a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and three years of scheduled maintenance, which is a lot of what shoppers compare.
Can I get the G70 with a return or exchange period?
The store describes a 3-day return or exchange promise on new vehicles. The mileage limit, eligibility rules, and exclusions are on its return and exchange page, so read those before you rely on it.
The bottom line
Start with the MSRP ladder, add the destination charge, then use roughly 10.9% as your Washington tax estimate, and you'll land within a small distance of the number your finance manager prints. From there, the decisions are the fun ones: which trim, which drivetrain, and whether to buy or lease.
