2026 Genesis GV80 2.5T Select: Kirkland Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 Genesis GV80 2.5T Select
The 2026 GV80 2.5T Select is priced from $63,750 MSRP and comes with all-wheel drive. It keeps the 300-horsepower, 311 lb-ft turbo four-cylinder and 8-speed automatic from the base trim, then adds 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic moonroof, a heated steering wheel and Digital Key 2. EPA estimates are 19 city, 24 highway and 21 combined mpg on premium gasoline.
The step up from the base trim
Select is where the GV80 starts to feel like it has been dressed for a particular kind of owner. It costs $3,900 more than the all-wheel-drive 2.5T, and the extras are the ones people actually touch or look at every day. The panoramic moonroof brightens the cabin on the gray days that Kirkland gets in abundance. The heated steering wheel earns its keep on a cold morning at Juanita Beach Park, and the larger 20-inch wheels change the stance of the SUV from the curb.
Digital Key 2 is the quiet standout. It lets a compatible smartphone act as your key, and you can share access with family members, which is useful in a household where more than one person borrows the car. It sits alongside the rest of the Genesis Connected Services package that first owners receive, including Enhanced Roadside Assistance and Stolen Vehicle Recovery.
All-wheel drive is the only configuration
Unlike the base 2.5T, there is no rear-wheel-drive option on Select. Every example uses all-wheel drive with the Terrain Mode Select settings for snow, mud and sand. For an Eastside household that crosses the Cascades a few times a winter, that removes a decision from the shopping list. Combined fuel economy is 21 mpg, one point below the rear-wheel-drive 2.5T, a small trade for steadier footing on wet roads.
Where Select sits in the lineup
Buyers who test drive the 2.5T and find themselves wishing for a bit more finish often land here, while those who want leather and the Bang & Olufsen sound system will keep going to the 2.5T Advanced. If you want to see how Select compares across the whole range, the GV80 overview lines up every trim and price in one place.
What a Kirkland buyer said
Jacqueline H. and her family came to Genesis after their older Mercedes-Benz had aged out of the household. "The first time we walked into the Genesis dealership Dillon helped us a lot by showing us various car models we were interested in," she wrote, and she added that he "helped answer our plethora of questions and truly took his time explaining the qualities and features of the car." Dillon Hewitt is listed as a Sales Manager on the dealership's staff page.
