2021–2026 Genesis GV80 3.0D Specs & Performance

The GV80 3.0D gave Genesis a distinctly different way to approach the luxury SUV, using a refined diesel powertrain to complement its upscale design and comfort-focused character. Its elegant exterior avoided the bulky appearance common to large SUVs, while the spacious cabin and composed road manners positioned it as a premium long-distance vehicle. The diesel engine added another dimension, emphasizing effortless torque and relaxed cruising rather than making outright acceleration the central theme.

For 2021–2026, the GV80 3.0D used a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six producing 274 hp and 434 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive completed the powertrain, giving the SUV strong low-rev pulling power and confident traction. This combination made the diesel version particularly suited to drivers who value smooth, substantial performance without needing a high-revving engine.
