2027 Genesis GV80 Coupe Trim Levels: Features and Key Differences

Choosing between the three 2027 Genesis GV80 Coupe trims comes down to how much performance, technology, and exclusivity you want in your daily drive. Genesis builds this lineup around a single powertrain family, but the differences in equipment, materials, and visual identity between trims are big enough to change how the car actually feels to live with. If you’re weighing your options, contact Genesis of Columbia to talk through which trim fits your driving habits, whether that’s a daily commute or weekend performance driving.

2027 Genesis GV80 Coupe: Trim Lineup Overview

For model year 2027, Genesis carries the GV80 Coupe forward with three trims: the 3.5T Advanced AWD, the 3.5T e-SC Prestige AWD, and the 3.5T e-SC Prestige Black AWD. The Advanced trim was renamed from “3.5T AWD” for MY27, a naming update rather than a mechanical change. All three trims come standard with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission, so drivetrain configuration isn’t something you need to compare across trims.

Worth noting: the standard, non-Coupe GV80 lineup separately offers a 2.5T Advanced trim with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Every 2027 GV80 Coupe trim runs exclusively on a six-cylinder platform, which draws a clear line between the SUV and Coupe body styles.

3.5T Advanced AWD: Engine, Technology, and Luxury Features

The 3.5T Advanced AWD opens the GV80 Coupe lineup, built around a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. It comes with 20-inch sport alloy wheels, dual exhaust, Micro Lens Array LED headlamps, a panoramic sunroof, and an electronically controlled suspension with Road Preview that reads the road ahead to adjust damping in real time.

Genesis made some notable changes to this trim’s equipment list for MY27. Seating is now leather rather than Nappa leather, and the microfiber suede headliner has been removed. Second-row seats are now manually adjusted instead of power-operated. Genesis also dropped soft-close doors, the digital rearview mirror, road-noise cancellation, the electronic limited-slip differential, and the Mood Curator ambient feature from this trim. If you’re cross-shopping model years, these equipment cuts are worth knowing about ahead of time.

On the safety side, the Advanced trim still includes a blind-spot view monitor, side parking sensors, reverse collision warning with automatic braking, a surround-view camera, and Remote Smart Parking Assist 2.

3.5T e-SC Prestige AWD: Upgraded Performance and Premium Appointments

Step up to the 3.5T e-S/C Prestige AWD and you get the same V6 block paired with a 48-volt e-Supercharger mild-hybrid system, which adds power delivery lower in the rev range. This trim brings back everything trimmed from the base level and piles on more: Nappa leather, a microfiber suede headliner and pillars, ventilated rear seats, a heated console armrest, power-operated second-row seats, carbon fiber or newspaper wood trim depending on interior color, soft-close doors, a digital rearview mirror, and road noise cancellation. It also swaps the Advanced trim’s dual exhaust for a quad setup. Sport+ Drive Mode with launch control and a rear electronic limited-slip differential back up the added power, while 22-inch sport alloy wheels give it a sportier stance.

Fuel economy lands at 17 mpg city and 22 mpg highway, 19 combined, the same EPA rating every 2027 GV80 Coupe trim carries now that the Advanced has picked up a city mpg for MY27. Paired with the 21.1-gallon tank, that works out to roughly 400 miles of combined driving range, worth knowing if you’re weighing highway commutes along I-20 or I-77 into downtown Columbia. If this level of performance and comfort has your attention, take a moment to explore financing options before you decide.

3.5T e-SC Prestige Black AWD: Exclusive Design and Top-Tier Amenities

At the top of the lineup sits the 3.5T e-SC Prestige Black AWD, which shares its e-Supercharger powertrain with the standard Prestige trim but adds a distinct monochromatic identity. Exterior touches include 22-inch black alloy wheels, black headlight bezels, dark Genesis badging, and gloss-black accents. Black brake calipers are exclusive to this trim for 2027, a detail that separates it visually and functionally from the rest of the lineup.

Inside, buyers get exclusive Nappa leather quilting, Black Ash open-pore wood trim, and a Prestige Black-specific infotainment theme and key fob. This trim is built for buyers who want their GV80 Coupe to look as distinctive as it drives.

Comparing Engine and Performance Specs Across Trims

Every engine in this lineup is built on the same 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 architecture, with the e-Supercharger system separating the two upper trims from the Advanced. The table below breaks it down.

The horsepower jump between the Advanced and the e-SC trims comes from the added boost of the mild-hybrid supercharger system, which also explains the smoother low-end torque delivery in the Prestige trims.

Interior Materials, Technology, and Available Packages by Trim

Genesis equips every GV80 Coupe trim with a shared technology foundation: a 27-inch OLED display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bang & Olufsen Premium Audio with 18 speakers and a 1,400-watt, 14-channel amplifier, Genesis Digital Key 2, wireless charging, fingerprint authentication, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and built-in navigation. Where trims actually diverge is materials and comfort features.

Buyers focused on value tend to gravitate toward the Advanced trim, while those wanting a tech-forward, comfort-heavy cabin should look at the e-SC Prestige AWD. If design and performance exclusivity top your list, the e-SC Prestige Black AWD delivers both.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features Across the GV80 Coupe Lineup

Every 2027 GV80 Coupe trim shares a full driver-assistance suite. Standard across the lineup are Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2, Lane Keeping Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Driver Attention Warning, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, High Beam Assist, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, and forward, side, and reverse parking sensors backed by Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist. Genesis also includes Highway Driving Assist 2, Blind-Spot View Monitor, and Lane Following Assist 2 on every trim, not just the upper tiers.
