2026 Genesis GV70 2.5T Select: Kirkland Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 GV70 2.5T Select
The GV70 2.5T Select starts at $51,885 MSRP before destination, taxes and fees, which is $2,900 above the base 2.5T. For that step it adds a panoramic sunroof, aluminum interior trim with a spin-brushed pattern and a wireless phone charger. Underneath it is the same 300-hp turbo four, 8-speed automatic, standard all-wheel drive and 27-inch OLED display as the 2.5T. It is the smallest, most affordable step up in the GV70 range, and for many Kirkland drivers the roof alone justifies the visit.
The three things Select adds
Genesis kept this trim's list short on purpose, and each item is something you notice daily. The panoramic sunroof is the headline. In a part of the country where a bright morning is worth stepping outside for, a big pane of sky over your head changes how the cabin feels, and it makes the rear seat noticeably more inviting for passengers. The aluminum interior trim, finished in a spin-brushed pattern, gives the dashboard and doors a brushed-metal look. And the wireless charger means your phone can sit in the console and fill up without a cable, which pairs naturally with the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that every GV70 includes.
None of those additions touch the way the vehicle drives. You still have 300 horsepower, 311 lb-ft of torque and an all-wheel-drive system that handles rain-slick pavement through Totem Lake without any drama. Think of Select as the same GV70, with a few details you would otherwise miss.
Where it fits between the neighbors
Next to the 2.5T, the Select costs $2,900 more. Next to the 2.5T Advanced, it saves $4,550 and gives up the leather seating, the Bang & Olufsen audio and the surround-view monitor. Buyers who park in tight garages around downtown Kirkland or Bellevue often like the surround-view monitor enough to justify the Advanced. Buyers who mostly want the sunroof and a tidy interior are usually happy to stop at Select.

Frequently asked questions
What does the 2026 GV70 2.5T Select cost?
The starting MSRP is $51,885, before destination, taxes, title and fees.
Does the GV70 2.5T Select have a panoramic sunroof?
Yes. The panoramic sunroof begins on the Select trim and carries through the trims above it.
Is the Select worth it over the base 2.5T?
If you value natural light in the cabin and a wireless charging spot, the $2,900 step is modest for what it brings. The best way to judge is to sit in both on the same visit and see how the roof changes the space.
Does the Select have a different engine from the 2.5T?
No. Both use the 300-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four with standard all-wheel drive. The V6 is reserved for the 3.5T Sport Advanced and 3.5T Sport Prestige.
