Starting On Equal Footing - Similarities Between the 2026 GV70 and GV80
There is no wrong choice, just the right choice. Both the 2026 GV70 and GV80 models in Bedford deliver 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque on a standard 2.5L turbo engine. Every drive gets you to your destination gracefully on an 8-speed automatic. Both models also offer an available 3.5L twin-turbo V6 engine upgrade to increase your output to 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque.
But while the 2026 Genesis GV70 and Genesis GV80 have the same choices in powertrain, what you see on the outside is an entirely different story.
The 2026 Genesis GV70 Brings Attainable Luxury to the Compact SUV Segment
Designed for small families and close friends who know how to have a good time, the 2026 Genesis GV70 is better suited for intimate drives around Bedford and beyond. Best for cruising around town or leaving city limits, this luxury compact SUV takes up to 5 passengers and curates the ideal ride in every aspect.
Fill every seat and have 28.9 cubic feet of cargo space for luggage and bags to take on a shared weekend trip. Riding solo? Fold every seat down for a maximum of 56.9 cubic feet of room. Measuring 64.2 inches tall and 185.6 inches long, the Genesis GV70 is small but fast for an SUV!
Small has its other advantages. The latest GV70 model is rated at 28 highway miles per gallon, or 23 MPG combined. Opulent and efficient. This is one of the most reasonably stunning luxury SUVs you’ll see this year.
The 2026 Genesis GV80 Spreads Top-Tier Finery Across 3 Rows
It’s bigger, but that’s not all. While the GV70 is your compact companion, the GV80 is your 3-row masterpiece. This one does a stellar job of giving all 7 passengers a taste of the good life without compromise.
Just how much larger is the 2026 Genesis GV80 in Bedford? 67.5 inches tall and 194.5 inches long. That makes way for 71.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo space and endless possibilities. It’s clear that the brand wanted to put on quite the show, and we say they succeeded.
The GV70 gets an honorable mention for including leatherette seats and driver’s chair power adjustments. But it’s not hard to believe that its 3-row cousin has a lot more going on. The latest GV80 is essentially a party on wheels for sporting genuine leather on every trim, power lumbar support for both front seats, and a massive 27-inch display that combines the infotainment center and driver instrument cluster into a single ergonomic platform.
When the idea is to go all-out luxury in Cleveland, the 2026 Genesis GV80 is waiting for you.
