2026 Genesis GV70: Kirkland Pricing & Leasing Guide
Quick Answer: What a 2026 Genesis GV70 Costs in Kirkland
Starting MSRPs for the 2026 Genesis GV70 run from $48,985 for the 2.5T to $71,095 for the 3.5T Sport Prestige, before destination, taxes and fees. In Washington there is no state income tax, and on a vehicle delivered to Kirkland the sales tax rate is 10.8%: the 6.5% state rate and 3.8% local rate (10.3% combined) plus the 0.5% motor vehicle sales/use tax that took effect January 1, 2026. On a $50,000 purchase price, that comes to $5,400. Genesis of Kirkland, at 11930 124th Ave NE, can walk you through buying, leasing and the current local and Genesis offers.
The six trims by starting MSRP
The GV70 ladder is evenly spaced, and each rung adds something you can see or feel. The 2.5T starts at $48,985. The 2.5T Select, at $51,885, adds a panoramic sunroof, aluminum interior trim and a wireless charger. The 2.5T Advanced, at $56,435, adds leather, Bang & Olufsen audio and a surround-view monitor. The 2.5T Sport Prestige, at $59,795, brings 21-inch sport wheels, Digital Key 2 and an Ergo Motion driver's seat. Then the V6 arrives: the 3.5T Sport Advanced is $64,415, and the 3.5T Sport Prestige, with Nappa leather and a head-up display, is $71,095. Each of those figures is before the destination charge, so ask for a full quote with it included.
Because engine and trim are linked, there is no separate engine upgrade to price. That makes the comparison between trims straightforward: $2,900 from the 2.5T to the Select, $4,550 on to the Advanced, $3,360 to the 2.5T Sport Prestige, $4,620 to the 3.5T Sport Advanced and $6,680 to the 3.5T Sport Prestige.

What Washington adds to the sticker
Washington does not tax personal income, which is a real advantage when you set a monthly vehicle budget, but it does collect sales tax on vehicles, and the numbers are specific to your delivery address. The state's Department of Revenue publishes a quarterly rate table for car dealers. For October through December 2026, a vehicle delivered in Kirkland carries 6.5% state tax plus 3.8% local tax, a combined 10.3%. On top of that, every retail sale or lease of a motor vehicle in Washington includes an additional motor vehicle sales/use tax, which rose from 0.3% to 0.5% on January 1, 2026. Add them and a Kirkland GV70 is taxed at 10.8%.
Here is how that looks in dollars. On a $50,000 purchase price, the tax is $5,400. On $60,000 it is $6,480. A trade-in generally lowers the taxable price in Washington, so the finance team can show you how your own vehicle changes the math. Registration is a separate line: because Kirkland sits inside the Sound Transit district, registration includes a regional transit excise tax based on vehicle value, plus the usual license and title fees. Ask the store for an out-the-door estimate so none of these appear as surprises on delivery day.
Buying or leasing a GV70
Buying suits drivers who keep a vehicle for many years and put on miles without watching a limit, and the GV70's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage supports that plan. Leasing suits drivers who like a new vehicle every few years and prefer a predictable monthly payment, and a typical lease runs 36 months with an annual mileage allowance. Your payment is built from three things: the amount the vehicle is expected to depreciate over the term, a finance charge, and sales tax. In Washington, tax is applied to lease payments, and the first 36 months use the vehicle rate table described above.
The cleanest way to compare is to ask for a purchase quote and a lease quote on the same trim, with the same amount down, and look at the total cost over the years you plan to keep the vehicle. Current manufacturer and store programs change month to month, so check local offers and Genesis incentives for what is live today. You can also build a deal on your own time with Customize Your Deal, get a number for your current vehicle with Value Your Trade and start a finance application.
What the buying experience feels like
Customers often mention the pace of the process. Reza R. walked in while comparing three brands, and he wrote that Vadim “genuinely wanted us to find a car that worked for us, encouraging us to test drive every model we had questions about.” Darin N. spent several days shopping and described the finish this way: “Ashley in Finance a real pro. The process was fast smooth and efficient.” Ashley Fry is the Finance Manager listed on the dealership's staff page. The store also publishes a Drive with Confidence page that describes its 3-day return or exchange program; ask the team for the current terms.
