2026 Genesis GV60: Kirkland Pricing & Leasing Guide
Quick Answer: What the 2026 Genesis GV60 Costs in Kirkland
MSRP for the 2026 GV60 runs from $52,525 (rear-wheel-drive Standard) to $71,875 (Performance), with the all-wheel-drive Standard at $56,025 and the Advanced at $59,405, each before a $1,495 destination charge. On a vehicle sold in Kirkland in the fourth quarter of 2026, Washington's motor vehicle sales tax rate is 10.3% (6.5% state plus 3.8% local), and a separate 0.5% motor vehicle sales and use tax applies on top, for roughly 10.8% in all. Washington has no state income tax. Current lease and finance offers change every month, so they live on the dealership's offers pages rather than in a guide like this one.
The four GV60 configurations, in order
Four versions of the 2026 GV60 are on the price sheet. The Standard comes in two flavors: rear-wheel drive at $52,525 and all-wheel drive at $56,025. The Advanced is all-wheel drive only at $59,405. The Performance, also all-wheel drive only, is $71,875. Those are MSRPs, which exclude the destination charge, taxes and registration. If you add Genesis's $1,495 destination charge, the starting points before tax and fees become $54,020, $57,520, $60,900 and $73,370 respectively. The first two steps are each about $3,500, and then the price jumps at Performance, which is where the 429-hp Boost Mode, Nappa leather and adaptive suspension come in.
A quick note on how much car you get at each step. Every trim has the same 84 kWh battery, the same 27-inch OLED display and a native NACS charging port, so the money moves toward seating, sound, suspension and power as you go up, not toward the basics. The GV60 overview has the full side-by-side.
How Washington sales tax works on a Kirkland purchase
This is the part most online price pages skip, and it adds up. Washington has no state income tax, so the cost of a car shows up mainly in sales tax and registration instead. For vehicles, the Department of Revenue publishes a dedicated rate table, and for Kirkland in the fourth quarter of 2026 it lists a 3.8% local rate plus the 6.5% state rate, for a 10.3% combined rate. Starting January 1, 2026, a separate motor vehicle sales and use tax of 0.5% (it had been 0.3%) applies to vehicle sales and leases as well, which puts the total near 10.8%.
As a worked example (an illustration, not a quote), imagine a taxable purchase price of $60,000. At 10.3% the sales tax is $6,180, and the 0.5% adds $300, for about $6,480 in tax. Local rates are reset each quarter, and what counts as taxable can depend on the specifics of the deal, so the dealership's finance team will itemize it for you. Registration and licensing fees are separate, and Washington's Department of Licensing has a fee calculator that includes the additional charges that apply to electric vehicles.
Incentives: what's available and where to look
Two programs that used to shape EV budgets have ended. Washington's sales-tax exemption for electric vehicles lapsed on July 31, 2025, according to the state's Department of Licensing, and the federal clean-vehicle credit ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. A 2026 GV60 is therefore best budgeted from its MSRP. What does change month to month is manufacturer and dealer support, so check the dealership's local offers and the Genesis incentives pages for current finance and lease programs, and ask the team whether anything applies to the exact car you pick. The dealership also lists a 3-day new vehicle return or exchange policy on its return and exchange page, with terms and exclusions spelled out there.
Leasing or buying a GV60
Leasing an electric vehicle is a popular choice because technology moves fast, and a lease lets you reset every few years. The payment is built from the car's expected value at the end of the term (the residual), the interest-like charge (the money factor), the mileage allowance and what you put down. Washington applies sales tax to lease payments too, so ask the finance team to itemize the tax on any lease quote. Buying makes more sense if you keep cars for a long time, drive a lot of miles or want the freedom to modify things. Either way, the 10-year/100,000-mile battery warranty and three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance apply to the vehicle.
To see what works, you can value your trade, send a finance application, or use the dealership's Customize Your Deal page to adjust a payment online. The dealership says you can finish online and have a vehicle delivered, or come in and pick up where you left off with a teammate.

Is leasing a Genesis worth it?
It can be, particularly for an electric vehicle, where technology and battery capacity keep improving, and a lease lets you move to a newer model every few years. It works best when your annual mileage is predictable and you like the idea of a fixed payment and a warranty that covers most of the term. Compare the lease and purchase numbers side by side for your driving.
How much does it cost to lease a GV60?
Lease pricing depends on the trim, term, mileage, down payment, credit and whatever Genesis and the dealership are offering that month, so there isn't a single number worth printing. Current lease offers are posted on the dealership's offers pages, and the finance team can build a quote for the exact car.

Washington's sales-tax exemption for electric vehicles ended on July 31, 2025, and the federal clean-vehicle credit ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. Ask the team about any current manufacturer or dealer offers that apply.
