Does the 2027 Genesis GV80 Have a Third Row? Seating and Cargo Space Explained

Yes, the 2027 Genesis GV80 offers third-row seating on select configurations, expanding passenger capacity from five to seven. While most trims come standard with a luxury two-row, five-passenger layout, the available power-folding third row adds a 50-50 split bench with power recline, giving South Florida buyers the flexibility to haul extra passengers without giving up everyday cargo convenience.

The standard two-row layout provides a spacious five-seat environment, but adding the optional third row turns the GV80 into a versatile family crossover. The power third row is designed to tuck completely flat into the load floor when not in use, allowing you to easily switch between carrying up to seven passengers for school drop-offs or beach trips and expanding the cargo floor for luggage.

Accessing the rear seats is simple thanks to the power-sliding second-row seats. At the press of a button, the second row glides forward to create a wide entrance path into row three. Whether you are driving around Delray Beach with full carpools or taking extended road trips along the coast, the GV80 balances premium passenger accommodations with flexible utility.
