2027 Genesis GV70 Trim Levels Explained: Which Is Best For You?

The 2027 Genesis GV70 comes in six trims and two engine options, giving Columbia, SC drivers plenty of ways to build a luxury SUV around how they actually live, whether that’s a comfortable daily commute or something with a twin-turbo V6 and real bite. This guide breaks down every trim so you can walk into our showroom already knowing what you want.

A Trim for Every Lifestyle

A new 3.5T Prestige Graphite trim joins five familiar names for 2027, rounding out the most complete set of GV70 options Genesis has offered yet. Wireless phone charging is now standard across every version, and the 3.5T Sport Advanced has been dropped this year. Every trim still rides on standard AWD, so no matter which one you’re weighing, all-weather confidence comes built in.

2027 GV70 Trim Levels at a Glance

Here’s how the six trims stack up side by side.

Quick Comparison: Engines, Features, and Price by Trim

All six trims share 28.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row (56.9 cubic feet maximum), seating for five, and a 3,500-pound max towing capacity. Every 8-speed automatic transmission runs on premium fuel for best performance.

Genesis MSRP for the 2027 GV70 starts around $49,350 for the base 2.5T AWD and climbs to roughly $71,700 for the 3.5T Prestige Graphite. These figures exclude destination charges (about $1,545) and dealer fees, and pricing is subject to change.

Exploring Each 2027 GV70 Trim

Each trim builds on the one before it, adding comfort, technology, or performance. Here’s what sets each one apart.

2.5T AWD

The base 2.5T AWD delivers 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque with genuine luxury touches from the start, including synthetic leather upholstery and a heated 12-way power driver’s seat. A hands-free power tailgate and 19-inch wheels round out a trim that already includes Genesis’s full standard safety suite.

2.5T Select AWD

Step up to the 2.5T Select AWD and you gain a panoramic sunroof, something the base trim doesn’t offer at all. Power-folding, auto-dimming mirrors and driver memory settings make this a smart pick for households sharing one SUV between multiple drivers.

2.5T Advanced AWD

The 2.5T Advanced AWD adds ventilated front seats, a surround-view camera, all-around sonar, and reverse automatic braking, plus Bang & Olufsen’s 16-speaker audio system. Priced around $57,000, buyers often call this one the sweet spot for those who want leather, parking sensors, and a sunroof without stepping up to Sport Prestige.

2.5T Sport Prestige: Sporty Styling Meets Premium Features

Topping the four-cylinder side of the lineup, the 2.5T Sport Prestige rides on 21-inch wheels with a limited-slip differential for sharper handling. For 2027, Genesis added a heated steering wheel, head-up display, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2, and Highway Driving Assist 2.

3.5T Sport Prestige: The Performance Flagship

The 3.5T Sport Prestige pairs the twin-turbo V6 with adaptive dampers and road preview technology. Nappa leather, heated rear seats, and a microfiber suede headliner bring the cabin up to match the performance underneath.

3.5T Prestige Graphite: Exclusive New Design-Forward Trim

New for 2027, the 3.5T Prestige Graphite is V6-only and built for buyers who want their SUV to look as distinctive as it drives. Dark metallic 21-inch wheels, red brake calipers, and gloss black mirror caps set the exterior apart, while Ceres Blue Matte and Bering Blue paint join Makalu Gray and Uyuni White as the only four colors offered.

Inside, a new Ultramarine Blue Nappa leather interior pairs suede seat inserts with carbon-fiber console and dashboard trim, a combination you cannot order on any other GV70. Logo-embossed headrests and an exclusive startup animation on the standard 27-inch OLED display finish the treatment and make this trim feel like its own model.

What Comes Standard on Every 2027 GV70

Whichever trim you land on, the ownership package is identical, and it’s one of the quieter reasons shoppers cross-shopping the BMW X3 and Audi Q5 end up in a Genesis. Every new GV70 carries a 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper New Vehicle Limited Warranty, with engine and transmission coverage extending to 10 years or 100,000 miles.

Genesis also includes Complimentary Scheduled Maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles, oil changes included, so your first several service visits cost nothing beyond your time. Genesis Concierge can even arrange an at-home test drive if getting to the showroom is the hard part.

Which 2027 GV70 Trim Fits Your Lifestyle?

With six trims to choose from, matching your priorities to the right one makes the decision much easier.

Best for Budget-Conscious and First-Time Genesis Buyers

If your priority is value without sacrificing luxury basics, the 2.5T AWD delivers real Genesis comfort at the most accessible starting price in the lineup.

Best for Tech and Safety Priorities

If your priority is advanced driver assistance and camera technology, the 2.5T Advanced AWD delivers surround-view monitoring, sonar-based parking sensors, and premium audio without pushing into Sport Prestige pricing. The 2026 GV70 earned an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ and NHTSA 5-star rating, giving safety-focused shoppers added confidence in this SUV.

Best for Performance Enthusiasts

If your priority is horsepower and back-road handling, the 3.5T Sport Prestige delivers the twin-turbo V6’s 375 horsepower with a limited-slip differential tuned for control. Expect a 0-60 mph time around 5.0 to 5.2 seconds, noticeably quicker than the four-cylinder’s 5.6 to 6.0 second range.

Best for Luxury and Design-Focused Buyers

If your priority is exclusive styling and top-shelf materials, the 3.5T Prestige Graphite delivers dark chrome accents, Nappa leather with suede inserts, and paint colors you won’t find on any other trim.
