Genesis of Bel Air - Why the 2026 Genesis GV80's 3.5T Prestige Black AWD Stands Out for Drivers around Rockville

 

The 3.5T PRESTIGE BLACK AWD is where the 2026 Genesis GV80’s elegant confidence takes on an exclusive, dark-toned persona without surrendering the everyday comfort and intelligence that make this luxury SUV so satisfying. For drivers who want their vehicle to feel curated, this limited-availability configuration adds a design language of subtle contrasts, elevated materials, and purposeful tech while retaining the brawny smoothness of a Twin-Turbo V6. A suite of driver-assistance systems, including Highway Driving Assist and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, quietly supports the journey, while the 27" OLED Instrument Cluster & Navigation keeps everything you need front and center with pitch-perfect clarity.

Start with the exterior: 22-Inch Black Alloy Wheels with floating center caps and Dark headlamp bezels turn heads at every curb. Step inside and the mood deepens—Black Nappa Leather Seating with exclusive quilting meets Open Pore Black Ash Wood Trim, a pairing that captures modern luxury with a timeless sensibility. This is not just an appearance package; it is a complete sensorial upgrade. The Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio renders your playlists with studio-grade texture, and available Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview helps you glide over patched pavement and expansion joints. All-Wheel Drive with Terrain Mode adds all-season assurance, so your plans do not bend to the forecast.
