2026 Genesis GV80 Coupe: Kirkland Pricing & Leasing Guide
Quick Answer: What the 2026 Genesis GV80 Coupe Costs in Kirkland
MSRP for the 2026 GV80 Coupe is $81,850 for the 3.5T, $87,650 for the 3.5T E-SC and $89,400 for the 3.5T E-SC Prestige Black, 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. Lease and finance offers change every month, so they're posted on the dealership's offers pages rather than printed in a guide like this one.
The three GV80 Coupe prices, in order
Three versions of the 2026 Coupe are on the price sheet, and all are all-wheel drive. The 3.5T starts at $81,850. The 3.5T E-SC is $87,650, which is $5,800 more and adds the electric supercharger, 409 horsepower and Sport+ Mode. The 3.5T E-SC Prestige Black is $89,400, another $1,750, and wraps the same powertrain in a black-or-white exterior, quilted Nappa leather and open-pore ash wood. Those are MSRPs, which exclude the destination charge, taxes and registration. Add Genesis's $1,495 destination charge and the starting points before tax and fees become $83,345, $89,145 and $90,895.
It's worth noticing how little separates the E-SC and Prestige Black. The first step buys performance, and the second step buys finishing, so the best choice depends on which of the two you'd rather have. The GV80 Coupe 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 owning a car shows up mainly in sales tax and registration. 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. Since January 1, 2026, a separate motor vehicle sales and use tax of 0.5% (it was 0.3% before that) 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 $80,000. At 10.3% the sales tax is $8,240, and the 0.5% adds $400, for about $8,640 in tax. Local rates are reset each quarter, and what counts as taxable depends 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 publishes a fee calculator.
Offers, incentives and the 3-day promise
Manufacturer and dealer support changes month to month, so the best place to look is the dealership's local offers and the Genesis incentives pages. Ask the team whether anything applies to the exact car you pick, since offers can differ by trim and model year. Genesis has also introduced a 2027 GV80 Coupe with its own pricing, and this guide covers the 2026 model year only, so if you're weighing the two, ask the team to put them side by side. 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 GV80 Coupe
A lease works well if you like to drive a newer car every few years and prefer a predictable monthly payment. That 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 a long time, drive plenty of miles or want the freedom to personalize. Either way, your first 3 years or 36,000 miles of scheduled maintenance are complimentary, and the 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle warranty applies.
To see where you stand, 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.

How much does it cost to lease a Genesis GV80 Coupe?
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 one 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.
Is leasing a Genesis a good idea?
It can be, especially if you like moving into a newer model every few years and your annual mileage is predictable. Compare the lease and purchase numbers side by side for the way you drive, and ask the finance team how mileage, term and down payment change the payment.
Which GV80 Coupe trim is the best value?
The 3.5T gives you the full Coupe cabin and 375 horsepower at the lowest MSRP, the 3.5T E-SC adds 34 horsepower and Sport+ Mode for $5,800 more, and the Prestige Black adds styling and interior materials for another $1,750. A back-to-back test drive of the first two is the easiest way to decide.
