2026 Genesis GV80: Kirkland Pricing & Leasing Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 Genesis GV80 Pricing
The 2026 GV80 ranges from $57,700 MSRP for the rear-wheel-drive 2.5T to $83,250 for the 3.5T Prestige Black. In Kirkland, Washington's vehicle sales tax works out to the 10.3% combined rate for car dealers plus the additional 0.5% motor vehicle sales tax, about 10.8% in total for the fourth quarter of 2026. Washington has no state income tax, and trade-in value reduces the amount you are taxed on. Genesis of Kirkland can walk you through purchase and lease options, and current offers are posted on the dealership's website.
MSRP by trim
The 2026 GV80 breaks into a handful of price bands. The 2.5T starts at $57,700 with rear-wheel drive and $59,850 with all-wheel drive. The 2.5T Select is $63,750, the 2.5T Advanced is $68,600 and the 2.5T Prestige is $73,500. On the V6 side, the 3.5T Advanced is $75,950 and the 3.5T Prestige is $82,330, while the limited-availability 3.5T Prestige Black is $83,250. Every number is manufacturer's suggested retail before destination, taxes and fees, and each trim has its own guide linked from the GV80 overview.
Genesis lists a destination charge of $1,495 for the GV80, which is the same regardless of trim, so it is a fixed line to add when you compare totals. Confirm the figure on the window sticker of the vehicle you choose.
How Kirkland sales tax works on a vehicle
Washington applies sales tax to the purchase price of a vehicle, and the rate depends on where it is delivered. The Department of Revenue lists a combined rate of 10.3% for car dealers in Kirkland, made up of the state's 6.5% and local rates, for the quarter running October 1 through December 31, 2026. On top of that, motor vehicle dealers collect an additional tax of 0.5% on the selling price. That brings the total to about 10.8% for this quarter. Rates are reviewed each quarter, so it is worth confirming the current one when you buy.
To see what that means in dollars, take a GV80 with a $70,000 selling price. At 10.8%, sales tax comes to about $7,560. Trade-in credit helps here: in Washington the taxable amount is the price after your trade-in allowance, so a $20,000 trade lowers the taxed amount to $50,000, and the tax drops accordingly. You can start that conversation with the trade-in valuation tool before you visit.
There is some good news in the bigger picture, too. Washington does not have a state income tax, which many shoppers moving from other states weigh when comparing total ownership costs. Title and licensing fees are separate from sales tax, and depending on where you live, a regional transit excise tax can apply at registration. The vehicle licensing office or the dealership's finance team can quote those for your address.
Buying versus leasing a GV80
Genesis offers purchase financing and leasing through its captive finance arm, and the specific terms change as programs update. A lease works on a simple structure: a capitalized cost based on the negotiated price, a residual value set for the term, and an annual mileage allowance, with 10,000, 12,000 and 15,000 miles a year being common choices. A lower allowance usually brings a lower payment, so it helps to estimate your driving honestly. People who commute between Kirkland and Bellevue or Seattle every day tend to pick a higher tier.
In Washington, the tax on a lease is collected on the lease payments rather than as one lump sum, and the Department of Revenue applies the special motor vehicle rates to the first 36 months. The finance team can show you the figures for the exact term you want. The local offers page and the Genesis incentives page show what is available now, and the payment calculator lets you try a few scenarios. When you are ready, the finance application can be completed online.
A certified pre-owned path
If you like the GV80 but want a different starting point, the dealership's Genesis Certified Pre-Owned program offers manufacturer-backed vehicles with their own coverage. It is worth a look as a comparison against the new price ladder.
