The 2027 Genesis GV70 Prestige Graphite adds dark exterior details, red brake calipers and a leather-and-suede cabin to the luxury SUV. Since the original reveal, Genesis has also released U.S. pricing for the new V6-powered trim.
By Tim Esterdahl. Adapted from his April 1, 2026, report on Pickup Truck + SUV Talk, with pricing and model-year details updated from Genesis’ September 2026 information.
A darker exterior for the GV70
Genesis expands the Prestige Graphite treatment from the G70 sedan to the GV70 SUV for the 2027 model year. The look centers on 21-inch dark metallic gloss alloy wheels, red brake calipers, gloss-black mirror caps and darker exterior accents.
The red calipers stand out against the dark wheel finish. Together with the exterior trim, they give the SUV a coordinated appearance rather than a collection of separate accessories. This is a new trim choice within the GV70 range, following the SUV’s earlier redesign.
Ultramarine leather and suede inside
The Prestige Graphite cabin pairs Ultramarine Nappa leather seating surfaces with suede inserts. Embossed Genesis logos on the headrests and a unique startup animation are among the details described at the reveal.
Carbon-fiber interior trim continues the sportier theme. Genesis’ model-year information specifies a new carbon-fiber pattern for the 3.5T Prestige Graphite, while the 2.5T and 3.5T Sport Prestige versions use Sport Backlit trim.
The visual changes extend beyond the paint and wheels, which matters if you spend more time appreciating the interior than looking at the vehicle in the driveway.
Color choices and the V6 trim position
Ceres Blue Matte is new and exclusive to Prestige Graphite in Genesis’ 2027 model-year information. Bering Blue is also listed as a new color for Sport trims. The original reveal described the new blue finishes alongside familiar colors such as Makalu Gray and Uyuni White.
The current U.S. lineup places Prestige Graphite above the 3.5T Sport Prestige, with all-wheel drive. It uses the GV70’s 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6; the trim’s darker styling is not a claim of additional engine output.
For buyers comparing the two upper trims, look beyond the shared 3.5T designation to the upholstery, carbon-fiber treatment, colors and exterior details that distinguish Graphite.
Pricing is now available
The original April 1 reveal did not include pricing and previewed the April 3–12, 2026, New York International Auto Show. Genesis has since published pricing in its 2027 model-year update.
The 2027 GV70 3.5T Prestige Graphite AWD has a $71,700 MSRP before the $1,545 destination charge, or $73,245 including destination. Taxes, registration and additional options are extra, and retailers set transaction prices.
For comparison, the 3.5T Sport Prestige AWD starts at $70,500 before destination. Graphite’s base-price premium is therefore $1,200. The GV70 range starts with the 2.5T AWD at $49,350 before destination, but that model has a different powertrain and equipment level.
